Thanks so much! I have studied “biblical” Hebrew off & on for about 30 years though I am a little rusty. When I read them in Hebrew in the past I didn’t notice the difference as much. There is almost an intensity too it now but in a good way (maybe because I have read them a lot more recently, or have a little better understanding now). It seems even more intense if I sing them. I find great comfort in them whether in English or Hebrew (like salve for the soul) but when I hear them or recite them In Hebrew it seems like it grabs my attention/concentration more.
Seeker of WisdomParticipantGreetings!
When praying the Psalms to attract the Light, have you noticed a difference when reciting them in Hebrew compared to English?
Thank you for answering our questions.
Seeker of WisdomParticipantThank you so much Gianni, this was truly helpful!
Seeker of WisdomParticipantI am not sure how to really ask this, but I will try. I know in the tradition it says we should be married, but what if your spouse has turned away from the work?
I studied Kabbalah (a different lineage, but not the “Hollywood” version) in the past & my spouse studied a good bit with me too, but they have fell back into corporeal desires over the last couple of years & they are involved with someone else. They will not accept the “Get”/divorce right now so this makes it impossible for me to move on with another partner (if I’m even supposed to) so as not to violate the commandments at the branch or root level.
Is it permissible to continue the work in this situation? I do hope & pray they will allow me to move on & there has been some progress towards this recently. This does not have an effect on me psychologically & I am more excited/serious about spirituality than ever.
If I am granted a divorce eventually am I supposed to get remarried?<b> </b>(Especially being older now). I do not want to be unequally yoked, but I will do what it takes to progress correctly. I do have balance in my life, but spirituality is the most important thing to me (the separation had nothing to do with not having equilibrium between worldly & spiritual concerns).
I am not asking for marital advice (and I know that is not allowed), this is way beyond that. I am asking this from the standpoint of what is the correct thing to do according to authentic Kabbalah/spirituality. I know the times/environment have changed since some of the earlier writings of the sages. I do feel a sense of freedom (almost guilty Lol) that I have more time to focus on spiritual matters, it has been somewhat of a relief, though it would be considered an awful situation corporeally & is, but I feel I have risen above this almost like it happened to a character I was playing as weird as that might sound. Sorry for such a long & confusing diatribe, but I have been trying to figure out the correct path in this situation & what/if anything the Creator may be wanting me to glean from this.
Thank you in advance!
Seeker of WisdomParticipantThank you Vince, great friend for asking this question. I could have typed mine pretty much verbatim to yours. Your question & Gianni’s answer solved a conundrum for me. I wish you the best on your journey brother, keep heading toward the goal friend!
Seeker of WisdomParticipantGreetings Gianni,
I am currently in my 1st round of the Young Group class. I know it is recommended that we go through the Young Group twice at least.
My question is: How do we keep our connection, if we are in a Ten now & then it is to be dissolved as we go through the YG class again, would this not set us back in our Spiritual progress or is the connection/progress still there?
I am afraid of losing this connection that seemed to take so long to achieve.
Thank you for your time answering our questions!
