What Does Kabbalah Say About the Soul – A Q&A Excerpt from the Introductory Lesson

Question: What does Kabbalah say about the soul?

Answer: The soul is a sense for us to feel, understand and act towards the Creator (the quality of bestowal and love) in a loving and bestowing way, in the exact same way He behaves towards me.

We don’t have a soul for the time being. We’ve been told you have a soul and that when you die you will go to “lala” land and revel in flowers and clouds, and so on.

The whole idea of the study is to develop a soul. That is why it is such an amazing wisdom.

Getting a bit deeper into it: Just like the Creator created us from scratch, we have to do the same action in this world: create a soul from scratch. That is the whole idea of the study.

From this point in the heart (i.e. the desire from spirituality), from this little scratch, we have to build a soul. It’s a nice question, we’ll get more into that topic the more we get into this course.

If you didn’t get your answer live, then you can feel free to ask it in the Student Forum, where Education Center instructors and moderators are ready to answer you.

• Isn’t there levels of Kabbalah? For example, the initiate through the master. Can you please explain?

• I came late because of computer issues. Was anything discussed thus far that wasn’t also explained in the free e-book Secrets of the Eternal Book? Just trying to guage how much I missed…
• Do you guys think that a person who has not fullfilled the first 4 desire levels could initiate into Kabbalah?
• If something can not be falsified or tested, then can it be truly described as a science? I am not disputing Kabbalah – I want to know more about it and have no issue with it being mysticism but I think it is a stretch to call it science.
• What role does The Zohar play in Kabbalah?
• Will there be a way to link with other peers here to collaborate as a study group?
• We do not see gravity, but its effects – the pen dropping. Can we begin to perceive by looking for effects?

• What does Kabbalah say about the soul?
• Is there any way that Kabbalah teaches how to be not affected by the people with negative energy?
• Since Adam and Abraham are part of Judaism (readings within the Torah), what is the difference between Kabbalah and Judaism? Do “Jews” practice Kabbalah in their practices? Would I need to follow the 613 Mitzvot (Jewish Commandments)?
• So, in Kabbalah is questioning established beliefs encouraged?
• Why are more people more knowledgeable about Kabbalah? My church says it is not to be learned. My prayer has not been answered, but I realized there has to be more to life.
• What is the best way to understand Hebrew writing. the numbers and word matches? I don’t understand how they connect.
• The Creator is a “force”? Isn’t that like “deism”?
• From my understanding we are one with the Creator or a part of that Creative Force. You make it sound like there is a force outside of us. Can you explain further? Thank you.
• In Kabbalah for the Student, I see mention of ‘Torah and Mitzvot.’ Isn’t “keeping Torah” synonymous with “doing Mitzvot?” Or, is that phrase the figure of speech hendiadys?
• Is the mind, a limited tool by nature, sufficient to need the Creator?
• Why do I feel so empty? What’s my real purpose here?
• Sorry I came in late. So does Kabbalah believe in private revelation?
• You say the Creator is not a personality but you call him “Him” and say we are his creatures.
• Does ritual play any role in Kabbalah?
• So developing a relationship with the Creator is the process. What does Kabbalah say is the way to have a relationship?
• You refer to the Creator as “Him.” Is that just a matter of speech or does it have a specific gender?
