Kabbalah on Human Nature

The Kabbalah and Judaism Question? What came first the chicken, or the egg? Is Kabbalah the egg, the cause. Or, is Judaism the chicken, the effect, Isn't always the effect in the cause? The answer is the Oneness of Yud Hei Vav Hei. I question the "children of Israel" reference, as it has a deeper meaning than just the physicality of a peoples, or a tribe. With the tools of the Kabbalah and the Holy Zohar we can now begin to strip the layers off the garments of the Torah, to get back to Adam and that is where God is, in the Garden of Eden waiting for us to connect to Divine Oneness. Another tool within the Kabbalah is Kabbalistic Astrology to help us connect with our tikkun(change). Within the 12 tribes are our tikkun. Dig a little deeper and you'll find where our true correction is in those 12 tribes. The answer to change. Expelling all our energy on Torah study on Sabbath is the reason for restriction, to peal back the garments of the Torah connecting with God. With nothing else to do. Find the real you. Reply

With Gratitude Thank you for your passion and deep insight into the dichotomy that exists on many levels in this life. It is an honor to listen to your shares on our rich heritage , and what it really means to be a Jew. Reply

Everyone Should hear this Lecture Thank you! I just sent this lecture to my sisters to hear the wonders of G-d explained so well. We're all Christians and truth-searchers and I believe G-d's truth is exposed in this lecture. The words are truly uplifting and gives freedom to my often self-condemning soul. Reply

TO KNOW - PART 2 I meant in the last line that some refuse to KNOW Judiasm because they will hae to concoct reasons and justifications to NOT fulful the traditions and mitzvahs. EXCUSES to NOT do them. Most want to take the easy way. I feel the work put into anything is directly proportional to the rewards and the wisdom learned. Study, learn, know. It doesn't matter how long it takes. Take your time. G-d is patient. G-d want you to struggle to make the choice whole heartedly. Just learn. Then doing the traditions and mitzvahs will be a no-brainer and you'll have the courage to do them and be different. Different is what we are. We were chosen to be different. How has it worked for any of us to be in denial. We woldn't be watching these wonderful lectures if we were all out doing Torah mitvahs with the courage to be who we are! Reply

TO STUDY IS TO KNOW I especially enjoyed the section of this lecture regarding KNOWING the body of literature and practice of Judaism before one represents themselves as an expert. It makes good sense to KNOW Judiams before making judgements as to whether or not the traditions and mitzvah's are relevent to modern life. Judaism is timeless and KNOWING it brings one more towards the traditions and mitzvahs. I think that's why some refuse to KNOW Judaism because they will have to concoct reasons and justifications to live and fulfil the truth of Judaism. Reply
