It means to see the world through the eyes of love. It is to understand that there can be no coercion in spirituality, which is why we were born into this lower world as egoists. Our egos have been given to us to conceal the Creator from our minds so that we can feel as though we have free will. Love is deeply rooted in freedom, otherwise love would not be true. The whole point of our reality is to bring us out of unconscious union with the Creator to a state of conscious union with Him. Everything about our inborn nature into egoism is designed to give us the sense of freedom we need to develop our own sincere desire to cleave to the Creator out of our own free choice. When we understand and wholeheartedly accept the altruistic intention behind egoism, we rid ourselves of our fear to embrace our inborn nature, knowing it plays a pivotal role in our spiritual attainment.
It means to see creation through the eyes of God. It is to understand that God is love and we are the love of God, and it is the love that binds us to the source of all things that is the only truth in reality. All other things in life were given to us to help us realize the truth of who we are in God. Our acceptance of the truth results in the realization that we are the presence of light in the world and that all we ever see being reflected back at us is our own light! This realization brings us peace.
The goal of Kabbalah is to attain equivalence of form with the Creator — to attain and experience the Creator’s peace.
The goal in the study of Kabbalah is to understand who I am and the purpose of my existence, particularly in relation to the Creator.
Hi. My name is George. I’m from Melbourne, Australia.
My first question is this: If I do not have free will, if all my thoughts, desires and actions are orchestrated by the Creator, notwithstanding the altruistic intention behind these events, can we attribute the current war in the middle east, or of the many murders and rapes that take place each day around the world to the Creator? Quite honestly, at what point do we take responsibility for our own actions?
My second question is this:Â If the Creator is this universal force of benevolence and love is, therefore, the governing principal of the universe, then how is it possible for love to be true without free will, particularly given there cannot be any coercion in spirituality (given the Creator is incapable of asking for anything from His act of giving)?
Thanks.
