Hi. I just want to know if it’s ok to tell some people about kabbalah even if right now they are not seeking spirituality. Or is it better I allow them to encounter kabbalah when their time is right? I just want to share this like when you’re eating really good chocolate and you go”yummy try this!”

Hi Ale, good question!
In general, it’s not recommended to talk about spirituality with others that are not on the path. It’s impossible for a person without an active point in the heart to understand these things. It just leads to unnecessary arguments which ultimately harms both them and us.
It harms them because we naturally try to justify ourselves, to prove our path to them, or even to force our path onto them, which violates the rule that “there is no coercion in spirituality”. It’s like forcing a 5 year old to do something sexual, which they are clearly not ready for. It’s an extreme example, but you understand how such things can mess a person up for life. Likewise when we try to force this path onto others that are not ready for it, it can mess them up spiritually for a whole lifetime.
Or these arguments can harms us, since our opinions on spirituality will mix with their opinions and our desire for spirituality, the most precious thing we have in life, will weaken more and more. So the best thing to do when outside of the spiritual environment is to act normal, just like everyone else. And when speaking with people outside the path, talk about the normal everyday life and not about spirituality.
And if you think someone is interested in spirituality, instead of arguing or going into any explanations, simply give them one of the beginner books as a present or send them a link to the course. This is the safest approach.

Hello, I am wondering that if the Creator wants us to “Connect” in this world, it means that not only in the Kabbalistic group but in our everyday life we should make the effort of “connecting”: connecting is also accepting the group, without judgment and trying to find solutions in a peaceful manner! In a group of students, in the neighborhood, in the family, etc;
Is this really what counts? The transformation that we that study kabbalah begin to feel and start connecting with groups with the intention of the Creator?
Thank you,

Hi Esmeralda, good question!
It all depends on your goal in life. If your goal is to correct your nature and thereby to reveal the Creator, the quality of love and bestowal, this is only possible in mutual work with other points in the hearts. This is why we practice this type of connection only within the Kabbalistic group.
If you practice this anywhere else, in the best case scenario you’ll build some good relationships, in the worst case, people will think you’re weird or try to take advantage of you. But either way it will not lead to the revelation of the Creator. So generally with the rest of the world it’s best to just act normal, like everyone else. Meaning don’t make a saint of yourself and at the same time don’t cause harm to others, but just act the way normal people act.

Hello,
The Hebrew words used in Kabbalah, are they modern Hebrew or the Hebrew of the Jewish Bible? I would guess the latter, but thought I would ask, to be sure.

Hi Christina,
I’m not sure what you mean. The books written thousands of years ago like the Torah, Talmud, Zohar are Kabbalistic books. As are the more modern books like the writings of the Ari, Rabash, Baal HaSulam.
As for the language used, just like Latin is used by medicine and doctors, and Italian is used by musicians, the wisdom of Kabbalah uses Hebrew and Aramaic. They were both discovered by Adam when he first revealed spirituality. The Kabbalists developed these languages in order to convey spiritual phenomena. In general, Hebrew is used to describe actions of the light while Aramaic is used to describe the actions of the Kli (the vessel, meaning the desire to receive).
But it doesn’t mean that we need to learn Hebrew or Aramaic, since the spoken language is not important here. What is important is for us to understand the basic terms that we use in Kabbalah. We’ll learn these gradually throughout the course.

Is the desire of a woman to have a kid in a stable relationship, an altruistic or egoistic desire?
If the desire doesn’t come from the couple but just from the woman, would this be considered egoistic versus the man?
How should I see this aspect of Life in a Kabbalah perspective?
Thank you

Hi Maria,
There are good questions, but I cannot answer them for you, since Kabbalah only deals with our desire for spirituality. Regarding the desires of our animalistic bodies, Kabbalah does not deal with these things. Our corporeal desires don’t have any relation to spirituality, so each person can arrange these desires however is most comfortable for them (of course within the context of the law and without harming others).

Hi Marouane, good question!
Kabbalah is a method by we correct our egoistic nature and as a result become similar to and reveal in practice the Creator. There is a certain level of attainment of the Creator called prophet/prophecy. In other words, the prophets are Kabbalists of a certain degree.
