Kabbalah, a spiritual science to understand life

Kabbalah focuses on being better people every day, staying connected with ourselves, being aware of life and stopping acting as if we were robots or machines following a pattern of behavior. Through its ancient wisdom, this practice allows us to think about the future and let go of the past.

If we were to look back at what has happened in our lives, it is likely that we would realize that we only work to accumulate and accumulate material things and that there is always something that prevents us from fulfillment. What are we doing wrong? This question haunts the minds of those who feel dissatisfied with their achievements or feel empty because they believe they will never find complete happiness.

The opening of consciousness

One way to open our consciousness and be more attentive to those around us is to capture what life offers us, working for true spiritual growth. How can you get this? Through the learning of Kabbalah, a wisdom almost as old as man, which was revealed by Abraham and that provides the necessary knowledge to “develop the ability to see,” as well as connect with the life we ​​want.

The director and teacher of the Kabbalah Center, Itzhak Pollack, says that this knowledge is called “spiritual science” and It comes from the Hebrew “lekabel”, which means “to receive”. and that is used for other terms. One of them is the word “parallel”, which would explain the reason why it is not only necessary to receive but also understand how what happens next to us works and we do not see it, as is the case of the higher worlds.

The teachings of Kabbalah are based on several books. The two most important are the Sefer Yetzirah (training) and the Zohar (the base text for all practitioners). In order to understand this doctrine, also called science, we need a lifetime, since it is something truly extensive, including several fields of application.

In some cases, “normal” human beings cannot achieve such knowledge because they are too complex. However, There are others that are taught popularly, with colloquial language to be understood by all those who want it. This can then be applied to everyday life. This activity is called a quantum philosophy, which is based on kabbalistic terminologies.

Kabbalah as a way of life

It may be difficult to reason, but the idea, according to Pollack, is to understand Kabbalah as a teaching, a way of life. What we see represents only 1% of our reality, which is why many think that its existence has no meaning or lacks causality. The reason? The limited capacity that we human beings have to see the remaining 99% of reality, where all the things we need are, that is, the vital force that helps us enjoy a full life.

Kabbalah is neither popular wisdom nor a religion nor a cult nor a sect. It could be said that it is an organization or center that brings together an exclusive group of people and is directed by “chosen ones”, who are in charge of delivering wisdom. This does not mean that there is exclusion from receiving the teachings, but rather that it is not fully known in some countries. It emphasizes science or it is about not “touching religious topics.”

The teachings of Kabbalah

Kabbalah basically teaches how to be a better human being. He considers what is the correct or successful way to “receive light”, the tool that allows him to function peacefully in the world where he lives. There aren’t many rules to follow, just having the willingness to change and learn. For many who come to the center, it is a kind of therapy.

This science does not pose any type of obligation to fulfill, as it is not a doctrine. “Quite the opposite,” Pollack emphasizes. The center is responsible for delivering a set of tools that each person uses as they want. Among the classes offered at Kabbalah are: meditation, astrology, reading texts in the Hebrew language, quantum philosophy or reading the line of the hands. No one should feel “obliged” to attend them or they can choose the one they like the most.

It is taught, for example, that the way we sleep is what determines what your next day will be like. So, If we go to bed sad, in a bad mood, anxious or happy, we will get up in the morning in the same way. It is necessary to “sow a seed” so that it germinates during the night and the next day develops calmly, is beneficial and productive.

Finally, it is good to know that Kabbalah is not a “religion for celebrities” as many believe. This prejudice revolves around certain celebrities who have approached the doctrine. However, they are the least. All the others are “flesh and blood” people, like any of us who entered the center to search for themselves, be better people, do good, find the light and fill that void that caused them so much harm. You need to be very careful with what you read about it on the Internet, for example, and it is always better to consult with an expert before drawing wrong conclusions.
