Well, what amazes me the most, are the points of connection that this path has with the path of Self Realisation. In Self Realisation we learn that how we perceive reality, is depending on our reactif proces, on our likes and dislikes, which are coming from the ego. It perceives everything in relation to itself, which is a “false” identity (we think we have a separate identity but that’s an illusion), the ego is the result of the Jiva (soul) who is identifying itself with a limited form, the body and its 5 senses.

This is also what Kabbalah teaches: the ego is the limited closed box, with the 5 senses who are “deforming” reality. So for me both teachings are telling exactly the same, but they are using different words and images.

The challenge is to transform our litte i, the “false” identity, into the Self (“Self” Realisation). (In Kabbalah the Self is named “the Creator”).  The way that we do that in Self Realisation, is by “neutralizing” our selfish desires. Kabbalah speaks about “correcting” our desires.

The fact that the eastern teaching of Self Realisation is telling the same as Kabbalah, is just so fantastic to discover. Truth is the Same everywhere!

That is beautifully explained Albert! It’s very clear for me now.

Many thanks, Ilse

“When we reach the level of absolute sinner, we can cry out to the Creator and eventually rise to the level of the absolutely righteous”. I love this one! Its only by going down, that we (consciously!) can go up… If we don’t experience contrast, consciousness would not be possible. We would remain unconscious. I think the Creator created the creature to become conscious of Himself ! This kind of thoughts are blowing me away :).

To grasp the essence of Kabbalah, and to connect it with my path, the path of Self realisation (i am a disciple of the the Self realised master Paramhansa Yogananda).

Dear instructors,

Can you explain me a bit more about the left and right line ? Maybe illustrate the difference between them with a concrete example? And what is meant with: moving forward with a proper combination of the right and left line, that is > advancing along the line that is exactly halfway between them ? Can you illustrate this also with a concrete example ? Many thanks!
