As I see it so far, we humans, are limited in our perception of reality by our five senses. But these senses also are limited to the extent of the amount of data they receive. Furthermore, what little sense of “reality” does make it into our minds is further restricted by our beliefs, prejudices, and culture. Eventually, we begin to perceive that there is much more reality “out there.” The Wisdom of Kabbalah opens our hearts to the totality of the perception of “real” reality, and in the process makes us equivalent to the form of He who created everything, and being “like Him,” we see like He sees.
Hello,
From what I gathered from the videos and reading is that the first Kabbalahistic book was written by Adam, then Abraham, Moses and so on. I am wondering if books like the Books of Enoch, or The Book of Jashur or some of the other apocryphal books were written by kabbalahists? Thanks!
I have really been enjoying my new journey into the Wisdom of Kabbalah through this course and your videos on YouTube. I feel like I am in first grade again!
As a lifelong student of scripture, there was one verse that always kept me scratching my head and wondering the meaning.
Proverbs 18:1 says: “Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom.” I’ve looked up various commentaries and they are all over the map and of little help.
Since the keyword is desire, and desire seems to be an integral concept in Kabbalah, I wondered if this verse is expounded upon in any Kabbalistic writings?
With my limited understanding of Kabbalah, it seems to me it’s saying, “When the point in the heart of a man turns into a burning desire, he separates from his egoistic corporal existence, and seeks out and integrates wisdom.”
Thanks for any light you may shed.
