Love in our world and in the Kabbalistic world is a specific reaction to pleasures. That is, feelings that emerge in us in response to received pleasure. Our most regular love for anything emerges as a result of the fact that the object we love contains pleasure, some kind of light or even a micro-dose of light. This is the only reason we like this object. It attracts us and this feeling for it emerges in us. This object may be kids, the opposite sex or delicious food. This is subjective for every person, meaning it is relative to the attributes of each person’s soul.
We come together to unite as a group. The men unite in groups with the objective of studying, bonding and loving each other as themselves and to attract the light. The women come together in support of the men to ultimately attract the light and to become one. Without the women and their support and pushing of the men from behind it is impossible for the men to reach their goal. The women study separately for most part because men and women are distracted by each other’s physical presence.
Every part, every soul receives a small portion of the burden of egoism which it must correct. When all the parts are corrected they will once again unite to form a corrected soul. Only though the group are we able to transform are egoistic desires to altruistic. We don’t feel connected to each other, but all are souls are connected this is the only system of reality. We harm each other when we do not love are friends as we love ourselves. There is no choice we have to unite. We will do it thought the long path of suffering , or the short convenient path of Kabbalah.
No matter how hard we try to progress, people are not less sick. The more we produce media and culture and education, among other things, to fulfill people’s lives, we see people becoming more and more depressed. Depression is today’s number one sickness. When people are in despair, they get into drugs, they kill and they slaughter, they go mad for lack of a better option. In other words, our development is really in the wrong hands.
What is our life for, the life where minor joys cost us so dearly that absence of suffering seems like happiness to us?
If we are at nature’s mercy, if we are what we are because this is the way nature created us, and we have to live with whatever qualities we have in us like semi-intelligent beings, intelligent only in that we are aware of the fact that our actions are determined by the characteristics and nature traits we were created with and cannot do anything about – in this case, there is no telling where wild, non-intelligent nature can lead us, causing us permanently to fight one another, making whole nations, like wild animals guided by instinct, fall upon one another in a vicious fight. Yet, subconsciously, we cannot reconcile the idea of ourselves as intelligent beings with this concept.
When the human body dies, the soul passes to a new-born one. From one life to the next the soul gradually accumulates readiness to manifest in man. He lives many lives without feeling his soul – an aspiration to the upper world. Don’t confuse it with the earthly “aspiration to loftiness”, which normally stands for creativity, poetry, music and art.
Man feels the manifestation of the soul as a new desire, longing, as emptiness he has no idea how to fill. From this moment the search begins; ultimately it will lead man to Kabbalah. Thus all people in the world are led to Kabbalah, because it is the only method of filling the soul.
How does a person today differ from a person two hundred or two thousand years ago? He differs in his level of egoism. This level of egoism constantly grows in a person, and this egoism constantly demands that we develop. Technologies, industries, and culture are all a result of egoism. This is very good. But if you follow methodologies that tell you to suppress it (“sit in the lotus position, don’t think about anything, or focus on one particular thought and nothing else exists”), you are hence suppressing yourselves, you are not developing, you are escaping into some inner state and everything stops there. In other words, although you feel well by doing so, you are tuned out of reality. As a result, in the next generation, or your next reincarnation, you will be forced to work for two—for your previous and present lives. Let’s try to avoid this.
