I think maybe I have misunderstood what is meant by the word Vessel (Kli). I thought it referred to the soul, and that we needed to grow our single vessel in order to receive the Light of God. But now I just saw a video where Rabbi Michael says that children are born with five Vessels. He seems to be referring to the five senses. Is this what is meant by the word Vessel? That Vessels are our Senses, and that we must develop our Sixth Sense, which is a new Vessel?
Learning how transforming our intentions from being selfish to being altruistic, thus imitating God who loves to give and hates to receive, it reminds me of the words of Jesus: “It is more blessed to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35).
From what I’ve been reading, most of the great scholars who have taught Kabbalah over the last few centuries have been Hasidic. And they believed in Satan and evil spirits. Have they all been teaching a false Kabbalah? Have they not been receiving their knowledge from the Spiritual World?
Tony says that there is no need for amulets or red strings because there is nothing to be protected from. Is this because there is no Satan or evil spirits, or because they do exist but they serve the Creator and will not really harm us?
