The 600 000 pieces/sparks of the Original man – are they only that many, or is this a picture of everything man is? I.e. there are currently 8 billion people – are there than that many pieces?
Everything is inside me. It is difficult to comprehend and accept some days – when i meet people that do horrible things – or when I do horrible things myself. I don’t want that to be a part of who i am, but it is. I need to get beyond that to the force that is not bound to our judgements and limitations.
If all the stories in the Torah are Kabbalistic allegories…did they actually happen? Or were they written to teach us something? Or did they happen, and now we are learning from what happened to other real people? I am fine either way, I am not stuck on the idea that they really, literally had to happen – just checking to see what the Kabbalistic viewpoint is on this.
I have been reading in and about Kabbalah for a year or so now – and just now during this course realized the connection between the point in the heart and the kli/vessel. I love it when things open up slowly to this old mind. Looking forward to learning more every week.
