Kabbalah Introductory Lecture on Second Life
Today, Sunday March 30 at 6:00PM PDT
Second Life users are invited to the ARI Online Kabbalah Education Center’s first Kabbalah introductory lecture being held today, Sunday March 30 at 6:00PM PDT, on Second Life.
About the Kabbalah Introductory Lecture on Second Life
Authentic Kabbalah provides a response to escalating global issues by demonstrating how we all interconnected at a higher reality. The goal of this introductory lecture is to begin recognizing this parallel reality to ours in order to restore harmony on our planet. By teaching us how to reach wholeness, completeness and balance with nature, the method of Kabbalah enables us to discover our role in creation, and what can be done to lead the world to stability and peace. Further classes will also provide insights about where the world is heading, and how we can help avoid future crises.
The Second Life lecture and its further series of classes at the ARI Online Kabbalah Education Center will address the many misconceptions about Kabbalah while shedding light on current affairs: The escalating global crisis: natural disasters, terrorism, collapse of health and education systems, collapse of the economy; Freedom of choice — where we have it and where we don’t; Reality — how we can expand our perception of the reality we live in and learn to design it.

Rediscovering Our Unity
An Excerpt from the Book Kabbalah Revealed
Originally, all people were internally connected. We felt and thought of ourselves as a single human being, and this is exactly how Nature treats us. However, despite our initial oneness, as our egoism grew we gradually lost the sensation of unity and became increasingly distant from each other.
Kabbalah books write that Nature’s plan is for our egoism to keep growing until we realize that we have become separated and hateful to one another. The logic behind the plan is that we must first feel as a single entity, and then become separated into egoistic and detached individuals. Only then will we realize that we are completely opposite from the Creator, and utterly selfish.
Moreover, this is the only way for us to realize that egoism is negative, unfulfilling, and ultimately hopeless. Our egoism separates us from each other and from Nature. But to change that, we must first realize that this is the case. This will bring us to want to change, and to independently find a way to transform ourselves into altruists, reconnected with all of humanity and with Nature—the Creator.

The Secret of Harry’s Magic
An Article in Kabbalah Today Issue 8
Harry, the amiable, bespectacled youth who attends the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, must fight wicked witches and monsters to save the human race. But Harry’s struggles are not a unique phenomenon. They are the culmination of a globally increasing attraction to the mystical, hence young Potter’s success.
Along with Harry came other cinematographic hits such as The Matrix and The Lord of the Rings. We can point out many more examples but the idea is clear: we fancy fantasy. What is it that attracts us to mysticism? What are we trying to find there that we cannot find elsewhere? Do we really believe that such enchanted places and magic powers exist, or are we merely trying to escape our bleak reality? more…
