Varda kahalanyParticipantKabu is a science and does not stir anyone toward any rituals, in addition, as Dr Laitman  mentioned, it must be exposed to all that have a point in the heart . The fact that you are here means that you belong here, no matter from where you come, religious or not. Chris gave a great explanation on your previous questions. As per my question, it comes from a place of a genuine willingness to understand , because I had sort of a turbulent past regarding the religion and currently I am faced with navigating between two different worlds . Believe me – it is no fun ! So, I’ll post my question in the main chat and lets see what happens 🙂

Varda kahalanyParticipantI think that you totally missed my point. And I honestly do not want to drag anyone  anywhere .  Sorry that I jumped into your conversation , guess I have to move it to the main chat as an individual question. Wishing you all the best.
Varda kahalanyParticipantDear Chris and Luke – I am reading with great interest your conversation and everything that Luke asked is also in my mind.. Chris, regarding your answer on the actual corporeal fulfilling of the Mitzvot in the Torah, you said that  “This, in fact, was one of the reasons they initiated the physical customs – particularly because they wanted to keep the nation tied with some kind of thread to spirituality.” The problem is, that this fact caused for a GREAT DIVISION, not only between the Jews and non Jews but between the Jews themselves – the religious and secular. I am aware and totally understand that everything comes from HASHEM and so is this, but inside me I feel that the corporeal mitzvot DO HAVE an important meaning but they need to be perceived in a total different way , especially by The Jews . But this is impossible so long the majority of the Rabi’s do not start explaining\teaching\guiding differently, and they strictly hold to the ‘preciseness’ of performing these Mitzvot’ , so much so as dividing families, friends and even communities that have different perspective on the subject. There are also millions of books written by our sages on matters of the Halacha , Gmara, Mishna , the views of Bait Shamay and Bait Hillel , all of them dwelling\discussing and interpreting the physical aspect of Torah and Mitzvot. If even one of the main and respected Rabis would rise and start emphasizing what we learn here in Kabu, it could make a great change within the Jewish communities . On the other hand, I have a bit of a difficulty with the fact that Kabu ignores some of the major Torah Laws (like regarding activities on SHABATH) because I am Jewish and hold these ‘customs’ very dear but also, it causes me for facing a conflict – weather I am going against my family and participating on SHABATh in Kabu events, or am I compromising and trying to be in both ‘words’ at the same time – and this too raises the question of selfishness – learning in KABU is a great pleasure for me so do I follow my passion without considering how it affects my family (they are not forcing me to do anything but I know that it will deeply hurt them) or do I consider them first and try to navigate my studies in such a way that it will not hurt them? And one more thing – our sages and past Kabbalists were all conducted their lives according to the laws in the Torah and we learned in Kabu that the student strives to be like the teacher…. My understanding is that so long we are living in this physical world , the mere fact that we are here in flesh and blood, means that we still have to pay attention also to the physical interpretation of the laws…. otherwise, our sages for sure would have put in place something to ‘open the mind\heart\perspective ‘ of  the current religious\spiritual leaders of our times to start ‘turning the tide’ and ease the burden of all the restrictions, if they are really not needed anymore. Thanks for the opportunity yo ‘jump in’ and bring up my thoughts 🙂

Varda kahalanyParticipantDear Jo- I just noted that the correct way to reply is clicking at the top – I clicked on the bottom, so it went as a reply under Michelle’s post…..
And regarding the last sentence (For some reason …… etc) – it is my mistake , so for the moderators of the forum, all is good and  no need for any corrections on this page 🙂
