Why the Books of Kabbalah Are Essential for Spiritual Development
Kabbalistic books are not like ordinary books we buy in a bookstore, or like the ones we study in university. They are not even like the ones we study from in Yeshivot (rabbinical colleges). The special thing about the genuine books of Kabbalah is that reading them improves the readers, makes them feel something new, and helps them to develop their sixth sense. It is with that sixth sense that a person begins to discover spirituality, to see what is beyond our world. With it, he or she begins to see the forces behind the objects of our world.
Kabbalah Gives a Person Tools to Benefit Themselves and Others
The minute we are able to go beyond this outer shell before us, we will begin to feel the forces that control our reality. Then we will be able to connect with those forces, influence them, see what exactly we are doing right and what we’re doing wrong. With this understanding in hand, we will discover how we should behave in order to match ourselves with a supreme and mighty force that surrounds the entire reality. This way we will be able to live consciously in a better world for all of us.
I do not mean to say that Kabbalah teaches us how to improve our lives at the expense of others. On the contrary: the contact with the upper world teaches us how to refrain from hurting others, how to attain the true desire to give. The laws of the upper worlds are the only laws that exist in reality; they raise humanity to the degree of MAN. We currently have no contact with them, and because of that we break them and thus inflict harm on others and ourselves.
The Key to Avoiding Suffering in Life
The Upper Will, another name for the Creator, wants us to be His partners. He sees us as His children, as all the books say. What we call “the end of correction” and the “coming of the Messiah” is really an ascent of humanity to the degree of the Creator, where we unite. People become united with the Creator according to their individual awareness and the strength that they request from above and receive or acquire. Then they begin to be a part of the global spirituality. Only in this way can a person avoid trouble in this life, because all the troubles come for the sole purpose of forcing us to search for the reason for them, and then one discovers that the reason for them is detachment from the upper spiritual worlds, from spirituality.
Why the Books of Kabbalah Are Practical How-to-Guides for Spirituality and Corporeality
To begin achieving this level of awareness, one needs to start reading from Kabbalistic forces, and studying the nature of our duty to the upper force. Most important, we have to start thinking and picturing in any way possible that, behind all the events that occur, there is one supreme force that is trying to awaken us to take the good path. It is turning us toward reality.
The wisdom of Kabbalah is not just knowledge, but the wisdom of truth; it is a real science, a way to study the upper world and use it practically. The wisdom of Kabbalah provides us with an accurate method to enjoy the upper world, and it is the most practical way to learn how we can enjoy the entire reality correctly.
The Power of Collective Thought and Desire to Transform the World
Unfortunately, most people do not understand that we can only change our reality with the united force of everyone together, by combining the power of will and the power of thought of the entire world. If all of us, as a people, relate differently to the force that comes from above, that will be the best way for us to influence reality and change it. Our souls have the powers of thought and desire, which, if used correctly, can induce an immediate change in reality. The collective power of our thought, if changed to appreciate spirituality instead of corporeality, will change the entire reality from above in our favor. This entire change depends only on how we relate to the mission at hand, against what has been placed before us from above.
We currently don’t know the powers of thought and will that are concealed in us, though they are the greatest powers in the world. But if we shift our focus to spirituality and to the upper worlds, to what we call the guidance of the Creator, we will see that He, and only He, watches over everything that happens to us. We will begin to relate to it differently, start to learn how we can change those things, and take the leadership into our own hands.
There is no need to know how to change the situation right now. But the very desire and the effort to understand what is happening to us and who operates our reality and why, and the feeling that we are being perpetually lead from above toward some unknown goal, are by themselves enough to change our situation drastically.
