No, the texts of Kabbalah don’t typically have what are called Tagin and Nekodot. They’re not important because one who attains the letters attains them with these additions and therefore doesn’t need them to be written. Similarly, one who attains spirituality attains it in the forms of the Hebrew letters. So, he doesn’t necessarily need to already know Hebrew. Theoretically, one could attain the letters, words, sentences the way these letters emerged to begin with, which is by Kabbalists attaining the spiritual worlds and discovering it was possible specifically through these forms. Not through the external appearances of the letters, of course, but there are inner movements that we are not familiar with that these letters represent.
Of course, you’re welcome to learn Hebrew, but no, it’s not even in the top ten things a person must do first in order to attain spirituality.
Hi Diane,
You’re right. That’s where on the one hand there is a risk that you’ve chosen the wrong place, and after years you’ll find out that it’s not the true way to the Creator. And you stand no shadow of a hope of even finding that out unless you do chose one, and only one, path and teacher and follow their every advice, neither adding anything from any other method, nor subtracting any aspect as it might seem appropriate to do. These are the conditions for attaining the Upper World. But choosing to which ship to tie your raft is up to you. The answer Kabbalist Dr. Michael Liatman was given when he first came and asked his teacher, The Rabash, “How do I know you’re a true teacher,” was “Go out and search; you won’t get any insurance.” A student must have this free choice and in a way that they don’t feel there is any more promised that what’s promised by your inner feeling. About that, I can tell you that more or less the correct litmus test is a feeling that “this is it, here seems like the truth.” This is called “One studies where the heart desires.” If I have a true Point in the Heart, it doesn’t permit me to stay in a false place long as this Point fell from the very Upper World that true Kabbalah speaks of, and this Point is like a shock-proof BS-detector. But yes, choosing, a student must do. And there are “many ways to the Creator” which is why one needs to find the one that is right for them.
Here, these books and teachers are laid out clearly: Rabash, Baal HaSulam, Dr. Michael Laitman, and a few other authors found on our site:Â https://kabbalahmedia.info/en/sources
Hi Sarah,
Kabbalists and even those who know what it takes to become one never like to speak personally. When my teacher came to his teacher, the Rabash, he asked him something like that, and Rabash simply said “go search,” go find another place that you think might work out for you. This seems like the opposite answer to what we’d expect from someone who (a) knows the way to the Upper Worlds (b) is in Equivalence with the Upper Force, at least to some degree (c) should want to help us reach the Creator too. And that’s because of what is written, “The Creator says, your ways are not My ways, your thoughts are not as My thoughts.” And the corporeal explanation of this is that an answer here won’t help you and may actually harm. It won’t help because you’ll still have to believe Gianni – when you’ve already been provided much greater ones who told you they attained the spiritual world up to the 125th degree in the case of Baal HaSulam. If you don’t believe them, you can’t believe Gianni either. Or, let’s say Gianni says no and then you lose all hope. And there are other psychologies here as well. So, for the student to do the work they will in any case have to do, it’s enough for one to know that Baal HaSulam, Rabash, and Dr. Laitman attained the Creator, and that they show us the way to definitely rise above the Barrier to the spiritual world within the span of one’s life. If I understand how serious and sublime this prospect is, then a realistic person knows it will be neither simple, easy nor in any way how I’m picturing I’ll manage to do it. But it is possible and steps will be provided.
Hi Sarah,
You’re right about everything – and… all of that is corporeal, phenomena of the corporeal world. Some of these we know, or think we know well, and some we are unsure whether we know them, and some are totally mysterious to us. And yet all of the above are related only to what Kabbalists call our world. And when I rise to the Upper World, I see this and understand all of these phenomena, too. One sees them all, as looking at the Earth from a plane, that they are down there on the level of this corporeal world beyond a shadow of a doubt. And from these phenomena I have no more hope of reaching the spiritual than one on the ground has hopes of reaching up to touch the plane in the sky.
Try to write any questions in the Q&A forum as I don’t usually look here.
There are explanations. But what’s safest, especially if you don’t totally agree, is to follow the Kabbalists. They do draw diagrams as you can see in Baal HaSulam’s HaIlan (The Tree) in Kabbalah for the Student. They don’t turn the forces mentioned in the Torah and so on, into people drawings, and prohibit it.
All possible goodness. If I truly attain Adhesion, this world becomes like one’s dreams are relative to one’s so-called real life. One knows for sure that that’s not real, and never was. All the previous suffering is mitigated in this new light, we see that it wasn’t even suffering. No one ever suffered, and the Creator is only the Good and Does Good.
