Can you study from Kabbalah books in the bathroom? I know, it might be an odd question. A previous Kabbalah group I studied through advised us to never take the Zohar or any other Kabbalah books into the bathroom. It seemed rather superstitious and arbitrary to me.
Less of a question and more of an observation. But I’d like to know if I’m on par from a Kabbalistic perspective.
The more I study Kabbalah the less I believe in God from a traditional Judaic/Christian stance. Instead of seeing the creator as something transcendent from “creation”, I’m understanding God to be the very fabric of reality. So the only way God is transcendent or removed from creation is in my own shattered perception. Please correct me if I’m missing something or completely misunderstanding.
Hearing that even my own thoughts do not originate from myself made me feel a little liberated. The realization that the creator is all there truly is, left me in a space more open to the experiences the creator wants to bring my way, “good” or “bad”. All is under his hand.
By recognizing that my limited and flawed perception creates my own subjective reality. Acknowledging that alone allows space to confront the illusion of duality. By acknowledging that my perception is what is flawed, I assume through study and application we will eventually come to a “realization” or uncovering of “there is none Else besides Him”.
