In this weeks readings it is written, “Having grasped and perceived the Creator and his absolute benevolent Dominion, as well as his power in the entire creation, we should choose not to see the creator in all his glory because this would undermine our faith.”
If ascending the spiritual ladder gives us a more tangible perception of the spiritual worlds and more tangible perception of the Creator, Does this not contradict the above statement? in other words, I thought one of the benefits of attainment was this ability to tangibly see the creator and the spiritual world. But then once that happens, doesn’t that mean we’re no longer operating by faith above reason? I would really love it if an experienced Kabbalist could tell me what attainment even in the first few degrees looks like as far as our heightened perception of the spiritual. Or even to greater degrees, How can someone ascend so high in the practice of Kabbalah and still end up with doubts as to the existence of the Creator altogether? I would think having an experience like that would leave you with no doubts.
After more than a month of study and reading, I started doing some independent research on your organization and was disappointed to find so many troubling articles depicting you as a cult.
I’m confronted with the question of whether I should continue on with the learning path in light of some of what’s been documented. Can you tell me what your response is on these allegations? About being “…motivated by a totalitarian messianic vision that envisions, in the not-too-distant future, a government of kabbalists who cannot be challenged”?
