Zied,
In the wisdom of kabbalah, there is not a slogan or a one line of instructions to put in my pocket and if I just do that, like a magic pill, everything will be fixed.
This method requires a person to go through a process of inner transformation.
In order to go through that process, we need to be influenced by the right influences.
For example, if one hears the news on TV in the morning, these thoughts and stories will stay with him all day and work on his thoughts and emotions. Sometimes we also notice that some song that we haven’t heard in 10 years is playing in our head.
So we want the influence of the Zohar to work on us as we go about our day.
Regarding doubts, etc. we need to work with them. We have a mind after all and we don’t advance by blind faith. So scrutinize the doubts and then decide based on your goal are you ready to go according to your mind built of your past or can you hold the hand of the one who is in front of you and take one step with him.
Repeat 🙂
Seth@KabUShaun,
For example, when you were 5 you didn’t notice Susie in the classroom, but then when you were 10 all of a sudden, some new feeling arises in you, it’s platonic, but some kind of young love thing awakens in us at some point, totally disconnected from sex, but we have some special feeling for someone.
In a similar and very natural way, something new develops in us that before we didn’t feel, didn’t understand.
Seth@KabUYvonne,
The five senses are not a barrier, they are what we have to perceive this world, however they are incapable of perceiving the spirtual world. There are surgeries where a blind person can regain their vision and then see whereas before they could not see.
So there are also spiritual “operations” that we perform over time with many inner efforts to transform ourselves and we acquire new feelings on the degrees of Keter, Hochman, Bina, Z”A and Malchut, these are 5 spiritual qualities that correspond to our five material qualities.
Seth@KabUHi Greg,
This is a point of confusion and will stay confusing since we are studying spiritual things, but each spiritual root does touch the earth and so when the spiritual roots touched the earth, what remains are these things that people do with their hands and feet.
But in the meantime, let’s not discuss tefillin or kashrut, let’s speak only about what these definitions mean spiritually.
The one whole desire that can receive all of the light of ein sof was divided (into many different numbers and we will learn all about it) into 613 general parts. As we make ourselves similar to the light, it’s called that we attract the light of the Torah which comes and corrects the broken part to a corrected part, that action is called a mitzvah.
Seth@KabUHi Helen,
This is a personal question that can’t be communicated in that way.
This is like a a boy asking his dad what it’s like to be a dad. He can explain, but he can’t really because they need to share an experience.
If they share the same experience, then they are similar and understand each other.
Seth@KabUErico,
Spirituality is not corporeality/materiality.
However we attain spirituality while living in our material body
When we pass the border between material and spiritual, we perceive qualities of wholeness that exist below the barrier, but there they are concealed.
Each subsequent spiritual degree is less and less concealed, however the exact same spiritual objects and forces are found in each and every world, the difference is in the degree of the revelation of those qualities.
