The Jews became the Hub because they are what preserved the torah, the talmud, and the kadusha, this eventually led to the Zohar inspired by the jewish revolt and the death of one of the greatest sages Rabbi Akiva. This was the teacher of Shimon bar Yochia and his group inspired Yitzhak Luria (the ARI), and it was through this work Ba’al Sulam was able to commentate the Zohar and create The ladder we use to truly understand and unlock the mysteries of the Zohar. All of these were forms of light in the Shadows (darkness). Jews are the hub because they preserved what needed to be preserved to reveal the truth of light, but it was accepted as Jews not Abrahamic. Technically the people who are learning Kabbalah are Abrahamic even those like me who consider themselves Jews. Abrahamic tradition tell us that he was upright and served only Elohim. His people were the original Israel long before Yacov was renamed Israel.  So anyone who is part of Abraham’s teachings are Israel, if they continue that path to light. This is the secret hidden in the torah about light.  This is why the Zohar reveals so much of it in such a profound effect on the world. The pages are the light the letters are the vessels that hold that light.  The Zohar after all the code i stripped away does what Abraham always wanted, unites everyone with the creator, this is why Abraham is called “the father of many” even though the Hebrew word would be more like abrhim. It was not just one group that was special but it was one group that would remain Kadusha (sanctified) even at the threat of death, at least until messiah comes, which is actually an upper force that unites the whole world, we learn about this force in the wisdom of Kabbalah.
March 16, 2022 at 10:23 am EDT in reply to: Could it be that history is simply the emotional & social expression of the laws of nature? #284069Richard LivelyParticipantI think that History is just like everything else just as you suggested, its dynamic just like the two forces of nature are.  History is a byproduct of humanity just like our actions are a byproduct of humans. Everything pretty much breaks down this way into two simple forces of Give and Take creating another byproduct of Give and Take
March 16, 2022 at 10:16 am EDT in reply to: What if the history of our relationship with Jews in the Human network actually follows the template for how nature evolves all its systems? #284068Richard LivelyParticipantThe whole of the torah teaches to “love your neighbor as you love yourself” This would be a form of Bestowal the likes the world has never experienced.  Which is why it cant happen until Hamashaich unites the world. Again these are all allegories nothing is literal this is not a religion this is a format for how the system works. Jews took egoism to an entire new level of “self” and although I am Jewish even i can see we need too understand its about the unity of the world not just one “nation” who was chosen to be a messenger of the world and that was our only job.
March 16, 2022 at 9:56 am EDT in reply to: Putting your feelings aside, what did you take from this section of the course? #284065Richard LivelyParticipantJews are said to be all of Israel, this is not the case. They are only one Tribe out of 12. Yehudi is widely accepted as modern day Pharisees which slowly devolved from orthodoxic to reformation of the entire faith as not literal interpretation of the torah. This is everything the Pharisees wanted. The literal torah was all they had but somewhere some time in history people knew there was more to it. Yehudi is one sect of 12 tribes that thought they had all the answers, but the secret was in the whole not the few. People hate Jews because they act like a superior of the whole and forget they are part of the whole. Someone had to preserve the scriptures and because northern Israel would not do it, Jews did. Thanks to the Pharisees and Talmud along with Gemura We can now see what the final goal was, Kabbalah and the teachings of Abraham, the “real torah”, us united regardless of lineage because we are all currently in the promised land we just cant see it physically.
Richard LivelyParticipantI am from USA, I deal with racism all the time being Jewish. I was orthodox but now because of Kabbalah I have leaned more towards reformed. I do not let anything get to me simply because the creator is capable of defending himself.  I feel that during the course of Kabbalah we are learning we are not here, we are beings of light, therefore Yehudi to me are the people in the spiritual world that want a connection with the creator, not the ones down here who just go through ritualistic endeavors to look and act jewish.
Richard LivelyParticipantThere is no way to edit so I should clarify. There is no ego here. Ba’al Sulam warns about not understanding the text correctly. You are the teacher, I am the student. I simply am lookin for clarification because I am reading Ba’al Sulam in “The works of Ba’al Sulam Vol 1 and 2”. I need to make sure I am understanding what he said correctly, as a student I can only assume what I read, so as a teaching im asking you what is being said. During the live Q&A it was mentioned the Zohar Covered all the worlds, but in this course it was said that we only attain matter and form of matter we dont deal in abstract or essence. This particular question I am asking does the Zohar deal directly with the upper worlds of Atzilut and then the Ein Sof?  If it does not, I believe it points to the torah (In kabbalistic code), because Dr. Rav Michael Leightman, in his book Disclosing of a portion writes that the torah deals with the degrees of the patriarchs and total correction (the tabernacle and unification with the creator) as being very powerful spiritual degrees. In one of the courses there was the asch incident where if one was told they were wrong even if they were right because of outer forces and pressures one would admit to being wrong. This type of confusion needs clarification of great merit, which is why I am the student asking the teacher. What is really going on here, and why does it look like only the Zohar deals with in form of matter and matter only in the BYA worlds? What am I missing?
