What is the Essence of Kabbalah?
Male: My question would be. What is the essence of the wisdom of the Kabbalah? That is it.
Male2: What is the essence of Kabbalah? Well, there has been a lot of confusion, legend, myth, and misinterpretation, surrounding the true nature of Kabbalah because it has been shrouded in mystery for thousands of years and it is called the hidden science for three reasons:
1. In the past, Kabbalist thought only a few worthy, highly developed people, from each generation who already possessed certain inner qualities not developed in humanity as a whole until recently and this inner qualities allowed them to understand and use it correctly. So in the first place it was purposely hidden by the Kabbalist themselves.
2. All Kabbalistic books are written in a way that uses words that seems to talk about people and things, but in fact not a single word in any Kabbalistic book is talking about the physical world. And if you do not learn how to read these books from a Kabbalist in the authentic teaching lineage you simple can not understand it. It does not matter how bright you are. All you are going to end up with is a product of your imagination and nothing else.
3. Kabbalah reveals the purpose and the nature of this system that we call life and unless a person has a powerful real and serious need to ask this very question, they can not hear the answer not even if it shouted at them. But today many people all over the world are seeking out Kabbalah.
So let us clear up the misunderstandings. First, let us look at what Kabbalah is not. It is not and has nothing to do with religion, magic, mysticism, witch craft, divination, cults, healing, meditation, self help, philosophy, theory, parapsychology, ESP, telepathy, clairvoyance, new age, circle of communists, superstition, dream interpretation, Phrenology, taro cards, mentoring, yoga, red strings, holy water, blessings, Judaism, Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Sulfism, Atheism, past life regressions, holistic medicine, numerology, faith healing, aroma therapy, secret societies, Reiki, hypnosis, channeling, transmutation, phonology, astrology, Astral Travel, or projections, lucid dreaming, fortunalism, communicating with the dead, out of the body experiences, magnetism, voodoo, privilege with philosophy, reflexology, UFO, creation as in fanaticism, or any other belief.
Although many of the above mentioned have burrowed and misinterpreted the principles of Kabbalah over the years.
So now what is it really? Kabbalah Yehuda Ashlag defines Kabbalah this way. The wisdom is no more and no less than a sequence of routes which hang down by way of cause and effect in fix determined rules weaving into a single exalted gold described as the revelation of his godliness to His creatures in this world, which means that there is an upper force and then there are governing forces that descend from this upper force and bring about our existence in this world.
We are familiar with physical forces such as gravity, electromagnetism, and even the power of thought, but there are forces of a much higher order that act well still remaining hidden to us, just like we know the effects of electricity but we can not see it and we do not know exactly what it is.
The ultimate comprehensive force, the Creator is the sum of all the worlds’ forces and the highest level in the line of higher governing forces. And this upper force gave birth to five worlds and a barrier separating them from our world. Now the science of Kabbalah does not study our world and the people in it, the way traditional science does. it investigates everything that exist beyond that barrier. And there is nothing other than the forces that descend from above in accordance with these laws and the laws as Ashlag writes are fix, they are absolute and they are everywhere, and ultimately they are all directed so that we can reveal the governing force of nature while we still exist in this world.
