Fundamental Concepts: a Framework
Q: Everyone ascribes a meaning to his own to life and death, to Light, to the soul etc. How does Kabbalah interpret them?
A: Let me clarify a few concepts:
Concept |
Definition |
Time |
In spirituality, time does not exist! Creation is eternal. |
Creator |
The desire to delight the creature. |
Creature, soul |
The desire to delight in the Creator, in the sensation of the Creator, in the Light. |
Life |
The fulfillment of the soul by the Light, the sensation of the Creator. |
Death |
The exit of the Light, the disappearance of the sensation of the Creator from the soul (as a result of the disappearance of the intent “for the Creator”). |
The reception of a soul |
An acquisition of desire (to enjoy “for the Creator”), with which it is possible to sense the Creator. |
Screen |
The desire to enjoy with the intent “for the Creator”; the holy vessel, the spiritual vessel, the corrected vessel; the vessel of the soul, which can feel the Creator. |
Kabbalah (Heb. Reception) |
The science that explains how to gradually receive a complete soul, meaning complete adhesion with the Creator. |
Our world |
A state lower than spiritual death, below the sensation of the Creator. Located under the left side of the impure worlds of ABYA (Atzilut, Beria, Yetzira, Assiya). |
The birth of the soul, acquisition of life |
A passage from the sensation of our world, to the sensation of the Creator. |
Reincarnation, cycles of life and death |
The constant entrance and exit of Light in the vessel of the soul, which continues throughout the correction in the worlds of BYA. |
