oh and heres a good article explaining what a kabbalist is, generally, a "kabbalist" is someone on a high level of attainment, I guess I consider myself an aspiring Kabbalist http://www.kabbalah.info/engkab/translated_lessons_(texts)/talks/05092005_who_is_a_kabbalist.htm

The thing about Kabbalah being the only path is, just as objects separate according to physical proximity in the world, in the spiritual world, they separate according to equivalence or similiarity of form. So if another path was the same as Kabbalah, they would have merged into one. The other...

what exactly is "the mountaintop," it's equivalence of form with the Creator, and a direct perception of him, I don't really see any other paths offering that as an option, I have also looked into a lot of other "paths," every other path claims that someone in the past had a revelation of the...

oh yeah, and kli is a vessel, for receiving the light of the creator, the essence of your soul basically, the purpose of kabbalah is of course to correct the egoistic kli into altruistic

what can I say? I guess I do think kabbalah is the only way. nice rhyme eh? I suppose I'm not an expert on other paths, but everything else seems to not be able to explain everthing, while Kabbalah seems to be able to. to me anyway

yes! no true spiritual advancement is possible without divine help!

the love you are speaking about is somewhat different, perhaps what kabbalah refers to as a "point in the heart," the desire for something greater than yourself, not of this world, the point in the heart is thought of as the embryo of the soul, it is a tiny point of Bina, implanted in the...

and of course, the "altruistic second nature" isn't actually yesh mi en because it exists in the creator allready, but I think you get the point, we aren't capable of changing our own nature.

pohaikawahine, we can see that the brain/genes/hormones do determine all our actions in this world, Rav Laitman gave a lecture saying there is no such thing as love in this world: "This is very simple. I already said that a person who exists within his own ego cannot feel love. Love implies...

Hi kabbalah, Thank you for sharing your understanding. I have a few thoughts and questions If kabbalah is a science that studies these truths. Does the big bang get referred to? It's reffered to a bit. Most of what is studied in the creation of the worlds from above downward, which is...

Kabbalah contends that everything we perceive in the five senses is a desire to receive. Even rocks have a tiny desire to receive (compared to a human's desire to receive it's like a grain of sand to the entire universe). So the entire universe is really part of the one gigantic soul the Creator...

was the Bible written by man or God? Moses was a kabbalist of the highest degree having contact with God, so whether he wrote it or God wrote it is irrelevant, but it is divinely written. Is genocide ever justified? Yes! In fact it is ALWAYS justified! There is only one force in the world, the...

the Kabbalists explain that out of the infinite abundance the Creator wishes to bestow to us, only a tiny micro fragment called "ner dakik" (the small candle) can be attained below the Machsom (barrier between this world and the spiritual). when I want something, say a dinner, I want it so much...

how can there be no ego? we are nothing but a desire to receive pleasure, look around you and it should be obvious. Baal Hasulam writes that there is no empty space in reality, meaning without a desire, if you don't have a desire, your don't exist, so if you have no ego, you don't exist. You can...

Isaac represents the left line, which Avraham must sacrifice before he can move to the right line and then the middle line. what is the right, left and middle line? http://www.kabbalah.info/engkab/book_4/book4eng_36.htm

Kabbalists tell us that the Creator created everything that exists with one simple thought: to delight the created beings. So he creates a vessel to receive pleasure, the vessel is 100% egoistic, it only wants to receive, and the Creator is 100% altruistic, only wanting to give. The vessel is...

"emunah lemalah midaat" can be a bit misleading at first, faith in kabbalah does not mean the same thing as it does in other religions, faith is not simply groping around in the dark with no answers, it is perception of the creator and equilizing form with him. Knowledge/reason is the desire to...

If you examine any act in this world that you would consider altruism thoroughly, you can conclude that it is actually not altruistic in the slightest bit. A kid saving someone from a burning car? His environment has taught him to try to have a "conscience" and he will feel shame if he doesn't...

What do you think about the concept of altruism? Kabbalah states that it does not exist in this world, for example, if your give thousands of dollars to a charity, you do so to make yourself feel better. There is a barrier called Machsom which separates altruistic from egoistic, beyond Machsom...

bannabrain, i pretty much agree with almost everything in your response regarding transcending all boundaries in this world, its more that things like growing old and dying become insignificant, Rabash talks about how kabbalists who enter the spiritual world start viewing their body as...
