you can see that even quantum physics explains that nothing but light surrounds us. I am not an instructor but a student. Because I see we have similarities in skepticism (when I first began just a few weeks ago) I bought the book “The Science of Kabbalah” By Dr, Rav Michael Lightman from the book store. Ive read it in its entirety, and will probably visit it again.  I cannot say it has every answer but I can say at the start of your journey its a great place to start if you want to aquire what you cannot see in a logical sense as plausible scientifically. Although the world around us is mostly visible there are things which we cannot see that are both beneficial and sometimes harmful. When it comes to spirituality seeing is and sensing is not possilbe, because its an internal world that exists within.  And upon connecting with others we find this world is much bigger than the one we created for ourselves in our own perceptions. I hope this recommendation helps.
My question is quite simple. If the torah is not literal. Yet we use the figures in the torah to explain how old the concept of Kabbalah was. How do we know the torah is not literal. We use Avraham as the father of torah but also the father of Kabbalah. We then say Moses was giving the torah to the people at sinia. Was this literal? Or did these men exist and the stories are surrounding them but not literal (more myth and legend, or even fantasy) to allegorically explain the world we cannot see.  I am just curious which point of the torah and its characters are literal.  I feel this particular subject is covered by the Kabbalah explained simply, but its kind of going back and forth as credible literal and not credible literal in the writings that are offered as “Class text” for the classes. Obviously the torah is light, but does it have to be literal to be that or can the allegories of both fiction legends, myths, and fantasies, simply be where the light was hidden so the allegory could be taught. I say this because Ramesses II seems to not be recorded in our history at all as having exiled anyone out of Egypt yet the torah clearly names this person in our history as the one confronting moses.
All is good, and nothing is bad.  It is actually a good thing for the ego to present itself to the individual or even on a global level, because this is not only proof it needs to be corrected but also that it can start to correct. To take a side would be the wrong way to look at it. The upper forces push us through our “reminiscence” of what we need to remember at the time to move toward corrections. The world seeing such aa thing shows us that our ego is ruling globally, and it is very important we all become more unified, or better described as “become one heart”. Its hard not to take a side because we want to be part of that process of ego (all we know how to do is take or make things about ourselves) this is the will to receive in side and the will to take on ones own behalf. Naturally we will want to judge but we really dont understand this is just a force doing what it does, which is push us to correction in the right environment (this can be large spiritual gains in both quantity and quality developments). On a political level this is none of our concern simply because it is the Ego being the Ego. On a spiritual level this should really motivate us to do our part in unification to make this type of event that seems “evil” as less of a blow and more of an opportunity to become more unified and corrected as a whole.
I am currently 20 years in and recently made major changes (almost 180s) and i cant understand why. Things that were once fully in control of my life that i was absolutely powerless against simply disappeared as in control.  This is why i asked about if one is able to make this type of progress. I found Kabbalah about 5 years ago i just started taking it serious. But i have been exposed to it through Tony’s videos prior to joining Kabu (they used to be an extension on his older website.  I did try to logically resist that this was an option but more and more it kept coming back as a possible solution. I am reading all the books of the courses that I take that I have purchased to date. I have finished the Science Of Kabblah and i plan to return to that again at a later date. I am currently reading disclosing a portion. and of course all the things recommended in the reading section of the courses that I have access to. I will keep this in mind and I fully intend on continuing. So far it all makes sense except what is “foriegn” to my native understanding of what is being discussed. I am currently learning Hebrew so hopefully this helps as well.
The only way to get hungry is to go without food. I know i have to eat, but as a baby i do not know what this is.  If i dont eat; I get an urge to eat even if i dont know what this urge is telling me. When i finally eat as a baby i understand I “need this” food.
With a spiritual desire I know i have one, but I dont know what it is because i cannot perceive it. So i must find out what this new desire is in order to satiate it. Nothing in life is that purpose, except to reconnect with others (for man is a social creature) but even that is not enough, so eventually I climb the spiritual evolution of seeking spirituality. This is where i find the right environment to satisfy the desire, but i must still learn how to attain the perception and further down i need to know why and how to use such a perception.
