Can Kabbalah Give Me Spirituality?
Because of our ability to absorb various pictures and impressions of the world around us, we can describe what we feel in this lifetime and create books from our experiences. But Kabbalah books describe what a person who experiences both the physical world and the upper, spiritual world at the same time feels, something that others do not perceive.
Such is the uniqueness of the books of Kabbalah. They describe things an ordinary person cannot feel, though they are attainable. A Kabbalist is not just a person who feels the upper world, but someone who can describe emotions in a clear language so that anyone can understand them. Thus, by studying these books, we will be able to nurture the missing senses inside us, the ones with which we will be able to feel the upper world to the point where we can see our past and future lives. After all, “there is no time in spirituality.” Through Kabbalah, we can all attain the sensation of the eternal upper world and live willingly in both worlds at once.
Why are the Books of Kabbalah Special?
There is a special force in books of Kabbalah: any person who studies them under the right guidance can attain the spiritual degree of the author. That is why it is crucial that we know which books to study. There are many books of Kabbalah, written in various styles and forms and written by Kabbalists at various degrees of attainment. We now know which of the books are the ones that help us enter the spiritual world and which of them direct us like a guidebook intended for a person lost in a foreign country.
Get Rid of Your Past Conception of What Spirituality Is
There are several ways to describe the spiritual worlds. The spiritual world and our own world are parallel. Everything in the spiritual world comes down to ours. All the events originate in the upper world. They descend from it to ours and clothe the suitable objects of this world very accurately.
Nevertheless, we should refrain from thinking that there is spirituality within our material world. Spirituality stands as an abstract force behind this world’s objects and manages the entire process unfolding in this world. This stems from the verse in the Torah, “Thou shalt not make unto thee a graven image, nor any manner of likeness,” being a prohibition to see anything that has to do with godliness and spirituality in corporeal things.
There is not an object, phenomenon, or force in this world that is not a consequence of the upper world. Therefore, Kabbalists use words taken from our world to describe spiritual objects, for they are the roots of all our world.
The Books of Kabbalah Describe Spirituality, Not Corporeality
An ordinary person, as yet without a spiritual screen, relates to books of Kabbalah as if they were fairy tale stories of things that happen in our world. But Kabbalists will not be confused by the words, for they know precisely from which branch they stem and which consequence in our world correlates to the root in the spiritual world.
That is how the Torah was written. The books of the prophets, however, were written in a different language, the language of legends, whereas the Talmud describes the laws of the spiritual world as acts, laws, and commandments that exist in our world. Thus, even behind the words of the Talmud we should see the objects and actions of the upper world.
“Here Is a Method that Is Helping People Attain Spirituality” is based on the book, Awakening to Kabbalah: The Guiding Light of Spiritual Fulfillment by Dr. Michael Laitman.
