Ki Halatzta Nafshi
a song by Baal HaSulam
Ki Halatzta Nafshi

1. Download Instrumental Version
2. Download Version Performed by the band “Bnei Baruch”
3. Download Quartet Version for violin, bassoon, guitar and piano.

The melody to this song was composed by Rabbi Baruch Shalom HaLevi Ashlag (Rabash).

Perhaps this melody seems sad, but the truth is that it is not sad, it is tender, and it expresses the feeling of someone who entered the property of Bina – bestowal, the properties of the Creator – where there are no cries and everything rests in peace. Rabash expresses the entering into this state through this melody, when he undoubtedly sees that all of his Kelim, his entire soul, all of his desires submit to this Upper Force and begin to reign in it.

It is a short song that sings about serene peace, about a man entering the Upper Force and staying there in the state of absolute, eternal rest.

Misconceptions of Kabbalah – Magic

mask70.jpg

We are continuing to post responses to the “Misconceptions of Kabbalah” competition…

ENTRY SENT BY JANNET: My encounter with Kabbalah was when I went to the library and out of curiosity borrowed the book entitled “Qabbalah Magic.” It told of what magic you can achieve and things you can acquire by performing all these rituals. However I didn’t finish the book as I felt it wasn’t what I was looking for.

Myth: Kabbalah Is All About Magic

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Kabbalah
FROM THE BOOK: It is a common mistake for people to think that Kabbalah deals with fortune telling, revelations of the past, and the study of the present. The definition of Kabbalah is the revelation of the Creator to people in this world today, not after death. Perhaps some draw this parallel as a result of the perception of secrecy that surrounds Kabbalah.

Either way, Kabbalah has no connection to magic. In fact, Kabbalah forbids fortune telling or any attempt to find out about the destiny of the physical body. The body is temporary, negligible, and, thus, insignificant. It is not worthy of attention beyond the question of how it serves the soul.

The Difference Between Kabbalah and Religion 03:26
Kabbalah is not religion. Revelation of the spiritual world (in Kabbalah) and belief in a spiritual world (in religion) are two separate issues. Rav Michael Laitman, PhD discusses the difference between Kabbalah and religion in this interview with European MTV host Eden Harel.
