Wisdom of Kabbalah
All that is said in the context of Kabbalah science is said about the feelings of Kabbalist’s soul.
When the topic of stages and steps of Supreme World is touched upon, it implies perceptions and feelings of perceiving soul that is a human being. The thing that a man receives from Outside Supreme Worlds is called Conception.
Every new sense and every new feeling which differs from a previous one is called a New Step or a New Stage. Every new stage has its own appellation, its own name. These names are given to them by a Homo Sapience (lat.) that is by human’s mind.
Just as it happens when somebody gives names to its friends: Kind, Intelligent, Lazy, Attentive, Good or Bad.
But does it really mean that our friend is Bad or Good?
Actually this is how we perceive him. If somebody makes a person suffer mentally, not physically then he is conceived as Bad or Malicious.
And on the contrary if a man enjoys being with his friend then he will say that his friend is intelligent, equitable, etc.
A human being is created with the Desire to Get Delight inside. This desire is seeking for satisfaction incessantly. If a human desire to Get Delight is not satisfied in the shortest possible time such state is estimated as Suffering.
It is dull, dreary, mirthless, lonesome, etc.
Human sensations, that is his desire to get delight, this is the source of all existing metaphors and aphorisms.
A person says “Heaven” and it means he is delighted.
When he says “Hell” – he is suffering.
Devil, Witch – someone who brings a lot of sufferings.
Angel, Fairy – they are the delight.
The Kabbalistic Law of CONCEPTION works according to the following principle: The Thing that I do not Feel Does Not Exist for me. A man says – it is Impossible, it Doesn’t exist.
Human infant does not have any information about New World. His organs of sense serve him as helpmates in the process of conception of This World.
When an infant grows up a bit he starts speaking. The level of his speech development testifies to the level of its mental development or to be more exact about the level of his Conception of This World which is New to him.
Have you ever thought how a Kabbalist manages to comprehend Supreme Worlds?
Let’s try to find it out on the example of our world.
A human being is given Five Organs of Sense by birth.
Eyesight, Hearing, Taste, Smell and Sense of Touch that is the feeling hot-cold and pleasant-unpleasant.
When an infant is shown a toy and is said: Yellow, Square, Cold, and Firm – he memorizes it and keeps all the information in its mind. In this way he memorizes the Codes of the objects that surround him. Some words say nothing to him because he has never seen or has never felt the thing that corresponds with that code: is it a color or a material or a figure or something else?
In infant’s brain there is a connection between visual information and information received from other organs of sense.
We See some Color – we Hear some Name.
We See a Fruit – we Sense its Taste, hear its name, etc.
It is well known that children with hearing disorders learn to speak late. Why do you think it so happens? The reason is that they lack information about their surroundings – they see and sense objects but they do not know their names.
Parents teach their child what is sweet and what is hot. A child hears it and memorizes, – figures, colors, materials and then starts to repeat it all after them – this thing is sour, that thing is hot and this one is not tasty… He starts referring to objects by their names.
It is natural that a child starts speaking the language he was taught. And it doesn’t matter who his parents are. They can belong to any Race or Nationality; a child will remember only the codes.
There are a number of cases when a child is brought up by people of a different nationality and then he learns to speak their language and he does not know and understand the language of his native parents.
There are some other cases – for example in the countries where there are a lot of emigrants. Children who are born in a new country go to kinder gardens and schools there and hence learn the language of the country they live in and hardly know the language of their parents.
Coming back to the Law of Conception it is necessary to note that if a newly born hears wrong codes and names of the objects from the very beginning it will memorize them in the same wrong way. It will call white – black, sweet – bitter and salty – hot…
This is why it is essential to find an appropriate Teacher and not to make a mistake in this choice. If a “Teacher” is not competent enough in what he is going to teach, his students won’t have a ghost of a chance.
In other words a teacher who does not have full set of knowledge on the subject will give wrong definitions and names to these or those scientific categories and consequently a student will have a wrong vision or impression.
The most dangerous in this sense are the spheres of science where the theory can not be proved practically as it is done in exact sciences.
This fact explains the existence of a great many isoteric teachings, movements and ideologies.
It is impossible to discern charlatanry unless one has some previous experience.
It is also difficult to institute criminal proceeding against frauds, swindlers and spiritual pseudo-leaders unless they take drugs themselves of call others to do it or unless the Leaders of Ideological Movements publicly appeal for violence or commit sexual crime or blackmail under aged.
Some people have such a strong FAITH in almighty Teacher, Rav, who will spare them their Sufferings and Diseases and will issue them a pass to HEAVEN, that they are ready to sacrifice all they have and to pray to anyone who considers himself to be such a Teacher…
The main tendency of such Ideological Movements is worship of the Chief and Ideological Leader.
The main motive and managing force of such Movements is a small group of confidants who hunt out for Silly young people in the age of 22-30 years old who did not find their place in life. These young people are a cardinal potential, financial profit for the Leader of a Movement.
Young people who have strong character are being subdued or expelled because such sect or Ideological Movement recognize only one Guru or Rav who brooks no rivalry.
And surely this extortion of substantial sums of money and implicit obedience of a “Teacher” is explained by the benefit to the student and as a consequence the possibility to reach Heaven inter vivos (lat).
The more money a man gives – the sooner he gets to the Heaven. In addition he can be given a rank of the “Best Student” and rewarded with a diploma.
When we speak about the Law of Conception it is necessary to pay attention to that a person speaks not about the step but about his sensation and about his state, he describes the way he feels in the situation.
When two friends talk over a third one it is not rare that there will be different opinions expressed.
One will say: “He is a kind person, he is intelligent and just”. The other one will say: “No, he is no good at all, he is silly and cruel”. How shall we know what kind of person the third one is? Who of those two friends will you believe?
The answer is easy. You will believe the one you trust more, the one you love more. Your impression about the third person will be formed basing on what you heard about him from your friends. It is not humane, isn’t it? Never behave like that.
Never judge about others from what you hear about them. You can not know the intentions of people who speak negatively or positively about someone.
One might intentionally try to soil your friend in your eyes to change your opinion about him.
A man loves and hates with Ears.
However let’s think what two friends say when they talk over a third one.
They speak not about him but about their feelings towards him, they express the way they perceive him but not who he really is.
A person senses delight as Good and sufferings – as Evil. If we enjoy the company of our friends we say they are Kind People. If those who are around us make us suffer or feel uneasy we say they are bad people, we often use abusive language.
In superior worlds a number of people experience the same feeling when they are on the same step. The reason for it is that a Spiritual Step is a level of development of a Human Soul.
When they say: “Our views on life coincide” – they mean that for the current moment people have similar interpretations of what is love and hatred, betrayal and friendship. As time flows the views might change because one of the friends can go far away in its development while another one might not develop at all any more. It depends on the Root, the Source of their Souls.
The world around us is Static that is Permanent. These are only our sensations that can change. The surrounding world is changed in relation to our perceptions.
