Thanks for your answer Seth. Of course you are right and I am rephrasing my question . I really would like to know what can I do now in order to speed up my development of my point in the heart so I could understand and perceive more of the puzzles of life and at the same time maybe to help others close to me to start doing the same. Maybe my question gave the impression that I am judgmental toward practicing religious rituals but this is not my point. I am just puzzled by the fact that it was decided to hide the Kabbalah for a long period of time because ‘people were not ready’ but the Torah was out there and it seems like people were not ready for it either, because  it gave way to miss interpretations which not only caused a huge division between the people of the world but presented a twisted image of a vengeful creator who favors the ones that observe his commandments. This perception is still persist in a high portion of the religious population and makes the unification of the people through all of the world almost impossible.
That was an amazing explanation of the differences between religion and Kabbalah. Thank you for this 🙂
Now, after this video, I am even more confused of why the religion, especially the Judaism (since most of the great Kabbalists came from this religion) does not include more such explanations in order to avoid situations where a religious person is so much immersed in his corporeal interpretation of the Torah’s writing that totally forgets or more precisely, ignores the quality of bestowal of the creator, up to a point that he fully believes that anyone who do not observe the commandments the way the halacha teaches them, is a person that has a negative influence on others , ‘spoils’ the environment and causes for negative things to happen. There are entire religious communities that would not let anyone from the outside to mix up with them because of this reason. Their Rabbis (who suppose to know Kabbalah) are encouraging this, and do not raise up to embrace unity instead of division. In our days, I see more and more families , friends, groups of people , divided over ‘degree of religiousness’ and it is so frustrating that their Rabbis letting it continue, some even encouraging it by making statements and promissing people that if they start practicing religion things in their lives will get better. One more thing that makes me wonder – if religion does not change the person , do they have to come back again into this life until they slowly start developing their point in the heart and start ascending on the ‘sulam’ ???? Why the Kabbalah was hidden for so long – this period gave rise to a religious fanaticism that brought unspeakable suffering and division. What good came out of it ?
To understand who I am really, why I am in this word , with these people and circumstances around me. What is the importance of my life, why I have an individual and unique personality , how should I go about my life in order to make out the best of it , who created this existence, are there other conscious beings in the vastness of the Universe, are there other Universes , what are other senses and will I be able to perceive them and see the ‘real’ world ? Why the religions of the world got so fanatical that they divide people instead of unite them , is there something that I can do to correct it and is the fact that I am in existence going to affect the whole world for better. I have lots of other questions too but I think these are enough for the start…….
Our freedom is in our reaction to situations and maybe in setting intentions. Once we understand that our life/reality is actually inside us as a reflection of the higher reality that touches us by penetrating through the screening of our 5 physical senses, we can overcome more easily the ego and slowly developing the point in the hearth by feeling more and more as a part of the whole.
