Follow-up question: is there anything you can give us to start applying Kabbalah principles on a practical level in our daily lives? At this point after 4 weeks it all still feels completely theoretical. We experience struggles in our daily lives and I’m wondering how we can use Kabbalah to help us navigate them, how to interact with others, how to conduct ourselves in the world.
“In Kabbalah, the two forces that must not connect directly are the force of the Creator (+, bestowal, positive) and the force of the Creature (-, reception, negative). If they connect directly there’s a short-curcuit right away. What we call “life” is in fact the result of such a short-curcuit.”
Can you elaborate on what this means?
The God of the Tanakh is vengeful, wrathful, jealous, and spiteful – and it’s for this reason that so many people reject Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. By contrast, we are told in Kabbalah that the Creator is an all-loving, altruistic force. How can this contrast be explained? If the Tanakah is rooted in Kabbalah, or Kabbalah is rooted in the Judaic tradition (however you want to look at it), why are these images of “God” so different from one another?
How does one know when they’ve ascended to a specific degree in the spiritual world? Are you able to enter in and out of the spiritual world on demand? What does that look like? Those of you who have been practicing for years, what is that you’re experiencing that informs you beyond a shadow of a doubt the truth of Kabbalah?
