I read here again in one of the recommended reading documents, that kabbalists have a particular view on eastern teachings, but i can say that this is not the truth for all teachings. The path that I follow, the path of Self realisation, (not the little self, but the real Self), doesn’t diminsh desires, but transforms them (“corrects” them if you want), just as Kabbalah does. Why is there a tendency to generalize all eastern teachings? It irritates me a bit 😉
