The holy Zohar tells of a time when we will all study its secret wisdom and truly digest its meaning. It will nurture us and give us life. The final liberation will then come with gentle compassion rather than with harsh judgment.
Now the wisdom is no longer secret. The Baal Shem Tov, the Great Magid, the Alter Rebbe, and others have made it accessible and meaningful to all.
Learn it, teach it, live from it. You will bring divine compassion and spiritual freedom to the world.
What is the difference between compassion and altruism? Reply
Compassion is one's human feeling for the situation of others, whose state is less happy than one's own. Altruism is the sct of performing something charatable, to help the observed person needing compassion, to become happier through the knowledge (even when the giver is unknown) of somebody who cares and tries to help..

Hashem has and always will be compassionate all we need to do is show compassion to others besides ourselves as the obedient of Hashem
My opinion is Hashem will be righteous to judge at judgement

Anyone from any creed who spreads love and compassion leads the world to redemption. It's so important to live it for ourselves to be able to transmit it. It's living by example, be tolerant, non judgmental and loving. It’s a tough road sometimes and the more we love ourselves, the more we are able to love others. The more we love ourselves, the stronger we are, the stronger we are the more we have to give. This is my belief. This is what I am living. We are too often faced with teachers that do not live what they preach. This is the downfall of humanity. I don’t teach, I just live my life happily and lovingly, I make some mistakes, I apologise and I learn. Others learn from me but I don’t impose my ways.
Thank you Rabbi Freeman, I always love your articles, quotes etc.

wisdom is understanding those differences. We have a right to control our choices, but we don't have the right to control the consequences of those choices. Reply
Let the Wisdom Lead the Way
Those who disseminate the Wisdom lead humanity along the accelerated, pleasant route to redemption - the Force of the Light has compassion upon us and draws us closer to His qualities.
Alternatively, without the spreading of the wisdom, we stumble along an unpleasant route experiencing crises after crises until we recognize we need to change within.

At the Threshold
I recently completed my second read of 138 Openings of Wisdom by Rv. Moshe Chaim Luzzatto. He discribes creation by using the emanation of the sephirot and the faces. Most importantly to me, he explained the free choice we have and it impact of the creation. That the evil in the world is a function of we humans making poor choices, but that the great architect and ruler of the universe helps the good balance with the other side. There is hope that man will be a positive aspect of creation and turn the tide to good...then, but really at the discretion of God, there will be a correction which implements the option of Grace. Then mashiach will be here. I think this to be a good explanation.
Shabat Shalom. Return in peace to God our father.

Passion
To study the Holy Zohar is to study it with so much Passion, Patience, just like any other studies. It can never be finalized.
Wisdom is so deep, you have to know how to grasp it.
You have to learn to master behind the one alphabet, one word, one Holy Zohar one G-D to share it with one World.

Secret Wisdom So, what is the scope of this 'Secret Wisdom'? How far does it reach? Reply
Happy Lag BaOmer to all fellow readers
Seeing some pics of the Liberation of Buchenwald , my spirit shrinks to its minimum, now, reading this thought coming from the holy Zohar brings back calm and heightens the spirit because our final liberation will come with compassion.
Blessed be Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai whose passing away we remember in these days.
Happy Lag BaOmer to all fellow readers.

Revealed Wisdom For over 2,000 years the secret wisdom of the inner meaning of the Torah was brilliantly clothed by Moses in his language of "roots and branches'. All words in the Torah do not apply to anything in our material world. Moses perceived the root of that 'branch' as it relates to the spiritual object.
The Zohar authored by RASHBI is written as legends. The imagery of the Zohar does not relate to anything in our world. This Book was hidden for 2 centuries from the public.
In the 21st Century these Holy books of the Kabbalists have been revealed and their secrets disclosed to all. Now because now is the time that we are expected to follow the path of correction to elevate humanity to His level
So what is the 'secret' revealed in these holy books?
They reveal the positive & negative forces within that control you. The wars, conflicts reveal how we use these inner forces to correct our nature. Each chapter defines a milestone in our progress to reach our destiny to resemble G_d's qualities.
