Can a Kabbalist be religious? Would it not inflate the Ego, creating a sense of “We” and “Them”, eg. separation instead of unity?
What about the rules in Torah, like the commandments and instruction for Kosher life? In my short time as a student of Kabbalah I have got the impression that these texts should not be read literally.
For me this feels confusing if we sometimes should follow the instructions given, and otherwise not…
I have been studying Shamanic tradition (Huna) for several years, and its fascinating to see the resemblence with the authentic Kabbalistic teachings: The Creator sense himself through us and we have collective soul. Looking forward to dive in deeper!
