We want the study of Kabbalah to lead us to a true perception of reality, to a perception of the world of roots, the spiritual world, instead of the incomplete and sometimes misleading perception of our five senses, the world of effects, or branches, in this material world.
First, your levels of human desire, with the first being animal needs, then money, then power, then knowledge, and after that spirituality, would seem to imply that I need to be first rich and powerful before I can study Kabbalah or attain enlightenment. Is this true?
Second, does this sixth sense have an unfiltered view of the true reality? I thought that, according to some psychologists, the reason we filter reality so much, is that it would be simply overwhelming to our brains to get an unfiltered view of reality – there would be just too much information for us to be conscious of all the time. How can we develop an unfiltered view of reality, and not suffer extreme information overload?
I’m Tom. I live in Toronto, Canada. I found this randomly on Twitter/X. I’ve been interested in esoteric spirituality and mysticism for quite a while. I’m also interested in the intersection between spirituality and science – basically understanding the nature of the Universe. I have heard about Kabbalah before, and explored it a bit, but I’m not too familiar.
