What Kabbalah Means To Me

When I found Kabbalah, I had many questions about God, creation, and mankind. I was glad to find that Kabbalah is a science and not a religion. That means that all I had to do was follow the steps of others and I could have the same results.

I was seeking for a way to connect with the Creator. I was in a religion for many years and was not being fulfilled. I kept feeling that something was missing but was not sure of what it was. I had been a student of the Bible for many years but things in there just did not add up to me. I did not realize that the Bible was a code for spirituality and was all about me until I started studying Kabbalah. Now I can say that it makes sense to me.

I was always trying to figure out why things were happening as they were and what was really behind it all. Kabbalah had the answers for me and I can see how this world operates. It really gave me a better understanding of the Creator. There were many times I asked myself the question of where was God. Until I started studying Kabbalah, I did not know that the Creator was concealed from us and why.

Through Kabbalah, I understood the upper worlds and creation. I knew that it could not have been set up the way that I had been taught; there being a heaven and hell. I had always sought spirituality, but could not understand why it was not available to me. Through Kabbalah, I understand the process of obtaining spirituality. I also have a better understanding of reality.

I am sure that there are others with the same questions that I had. Questions like, what is God and what God is like. How does one reach God? What is the purpose of creation and what did I need to do to sense the Creator. I had been looking for these answers for a long time and found them in studying Kabbalah.

I would like for everyone to know that the answers to their questions are available in the studying of Kabbalah. Not only that, but it will also give you a purpose for your life. You will feel that your life counts for something. All you have to do is check it out for yourself.

Allow me to pass on a warning to you: Studying Kabbalah, understanding it, and getting your answers from it, will take a lot of effect and time on your part. The things that it has to offer will not come overnight. However, I do feel that it will be worth it to you. The reward from it is great and I believe that you will not be disappointed.

Why You Need to Study the Secrets of the Ultimate Science

Nature is compressing the world into a single living system, where each country has an integral and cooperative role like a cell in an organism.

A Kabbalist is a person who studies nature and discovers its unifying force. This force produces the energy that has constructed the entire Universe. The wisdom of Kabbalah studies this unifying force and its effect on the matter it created and is the most general science. And all the other sciences are included in it.

You Can Wield the Force That Drives Life

Unity is the direction of the force that drives life. Our challenge, therefore, is to learn how to unite.

This is the force of unity because all of creation stems from one spark. This force exists in nature. It stems from the same source that the first spark once broke out from and from which the universe developed. Let’s pull it out of nature and learn how to use it practically, creatively, just like we use nuclear energy.

Call the Bomb Squad on the Overblown Ego

Humanity needs to learn how to balance its overblown egoism with the opposite, positive altruistic force.

Today, globalization shows us that, on the one hand, we are all connected, and on the other hand, our enormously overblown egoism alienates us from each other. In this state we will acknowledge its pettiness, limited nature, and hopelessness, and come to hate our egoistic nature and develop a desire to unite, to transform our nature into the opposite, altruistic nature. Thus we will independently find a way to transform ourselves into altruists and to reconnect with the entire humanity as a single, united whole.

Haazinu (Give Ear) Parsha – Weekly Torah Portion

Deuteronomy, 32:1-32:52
This Week’s Torah Portion | October 9 – October 15, 2016 – 7 Tishrei – 13 Tishrei, 5777

In A Nutshell

The portion, Haazinu (Give Ear), deals with the entrance to the land of Israel. Moses begins with a song that serves as a reminder to the people when they abandon the work of the Creator in the future. The song praises the guidance of the Creator and His choice of the people of Israel, and presents the people of Israel as stiff-necked and one that has turned to idol worship.

Afterward there is an explanation of the punishment in the case of committing idolatry, and a statement that the Creator will not help Israel against their enemies in such a case. However, to the extent that Israel repents, the Creator will save them from all their enemies.

When Moses concludes reading his song, the Creator commands him to climb up Mount Nevo and look from there at the land of Israel. He tells Moses that he will die and will not be awarded entrance to the land of Israel.

 Commentary by Dr. Michael Laitman

The Torah contains all the secrets of the world. The Torah means instruction; it guides us on how we should conduct ourselves in order to advance. The Torah speaks of the whole of creation; it helps us cope with difficulties and shows us what to do.

The big question is why the Torah ends before the entrance to the land of Israel. In truth, the struggles, problems, the great dilemmas, and the difficulties of coping with all that awaits the people henceforth— especially in this portion,—are already in us.

The people has reached a state where it is ready to advance and enter the land of Israel, to cope with all the problems, and to rise above them. It is precisely through this war that the people acquires the land of Israel. The story speaks of our desires, our forces, which have become corrected through the light, through everything that we have done and went through in the desert in order to be ready to enter the land of Israel.

The song, Haazinu, praises the Creator, the force of bestowal. It stresses that we must always remember to interpret what is happening accurately, and extol the force of bestowal, the value of love of others, which is the great rule of the Torah, and for which we do all that we do. “Love your neighbor as yourself” is more just than a maxim; it is the purpose of each and every action, a rule that includes all our efforts.
