I’m feeling a deeper appreciation of Kabbalah as a bridge between mysticism and science. I am the vessel willing to receive light and my intention resonates in harmony or dissonance. Dissonance, the distance, or separateness of the will of the Creator and the will of the Creature is experienced as suffering. Harmony, experienced as the will to bestow.
I want this study of Kabbalah to lead me to a perception of the reality beyond what I know through my five senses.
I came to this course thinking and explaining to another that it was about a form of Jewish mysticism called Kabbalah. I have since gone back to that person and exclaimed ‘it’s a science’.
Thank you. Your explanation “Kabbalah divides our research of the Creator into two parts” is helpful. He Himself is separate from Created beings and the revealed phenomenon an aspect of the Creator. At this time, unable to grasp His essence I can come to know Him, Bo-Re by His attributes.
Good morning. This teaching of Kabbalah, called ‘the Creator’ seems irreverent … I have heard and read that to study or to practice Kabbalah one does not need to believe God exists, however one does need to acknowledge the universe is the work of ‘the Creator’ who “does not signify a supernatural, distinct entity, but the next degree that a human being should reach when pursuing higher knowledge.” Who and what is ‘the creator’ ?
My expectation is of myself, that I have settled whatever was needing my immediate attention, and have mindfully prepared to listen, to query what I do not understand and to be patient when hearing, feeling or thinking something that makes me uncomfortable – vulnerable. I want to be able to recognize when and how inner change becomes an opportunity for me to witness the steadfastness of the Creator.
