What is the best way to transcend space and time? First, we should understand that our corporeal life exists within the limits of time, space, and motion. If we rise above these parameters, which is possible, we then experience complete freedom.

How, then, can we transcend these parameters? Newton’s physics accepts the limitations of time, space, and motion as a given. Einstein then challenged this view by stating that the limits of time, space, and motion are relative, and we can change them.

The wisdom of Kabbalah states that we ourselves can change time, space, and motion however we wish. Doing so depends on the extent by which we rise above our ego, i.e., our desire to receive for self-benefit alone. It is because our egoistic nature limits us within these three parameters, and they block us from viewing life as boundless.

There is also nothing greater in life than to exit these limitations. Why? It is because we can then feel life as eternal and perfect. Our current lives are defined by a certain finality that we try to avoid. In eternity, however, everything is in constant renewal.

In our egoistic reality, we feel desires and their fulfillment following one another, which gives us a sensation of time, space, and motion. Space, for instance, is a derivation of a desire, a lack, which means that we are missing something, and that is why we feel a desire or a lack. We then possess a perception of space, perceiving emptiness and fullness. By rising above our egoistic nature, we rise above the nature that makes us feel empty, and we thus enter into the sensation of eternity and perfection.

How does a Kabbalistic prayer differ from a religious one?

Kabbalah fundamentally differs from all other methods and from everything there is in our world. In short, Kabbalah is one thing, and everything else another.

What is the difference then? It is in the fact that Kabbalah is based on changing a person himself rather than something outside of him, his surroundings; neither is it built on asking some “dear God” to start treating me better or to change other people’s attitude toward me. I do not ask Him to change my state of health or fate, nothing of the sort. I ask Him to transform my egoism, only that!

The entire method of Kabbalah is arranged so that a person can transform oneself. On the other hand, all other methods and religions are founded on the idea that the Creator should change His attitude to a person: I ask Him to be more merciful and kind to me while I bribe Him.

Kabbalah doesn’t allow anything of the sort. In connection to the Creator, I am like man that changes in the face of the Absolute. And this Absolute is unchangeable. If the Creator is a primordial cause, the beginning of all, and if He is absolutely good, absolute, eternal, and perfect, then He cannot change. Only that which is imperfect can change. He cannot change.

Therefore, all changes occur solely in man. In other words, depending on my strengths, internal states, and properties, I feel more or less comfortable. But it is just me because I can change. The Creator never changes; He is a constant, omnipotent force of Nature.

Accordingly, all the prayers Kabbalah describes constitute man’s plea to be transformed. Who does one address these to, a wall? If the Creator is constant, eternal, and complete, then He doesn’t react to you in any way.

However, when you appeal to Him, you become different and receive a different response because you increase your sensitivity while doing so. You are still present in the same constant field regarded as the “Creator,” in the same constant force. Yet you are praying while wishing to change, and as a result, this field affects you with greater intensity. This is what we call a “prayer.”

The word “to pray” in Hebrew (𝘓𝘦𝘩𝘪𝘵𝘱𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘭) means self-imposed judgment. “To pray” means to judge, evaluate, and rebuke oneself. It isn’t an appeal to someone, in order to be shown mercy or favored. No, it is self re-evaluation. This is what a prayer is.

Hence, although religions use the same word, in Kabbalah it has an opposite meaning, much like everything else.

Attaining spirituality means attaining a new intention that operates for the benefit of others.

Such attainment gives us the ability to feel the world that is outside of us and independent of us. In other words, it lets us feel the Creator. The Creator is a force of bestowal and love, which fills the air, space, and everything around us.

Through spiritual attainment, we start feeling the positive field that begets and controls us. We are born and raised as small egoists, opposite to the force of bestowal and love. By nature, we wish to only benefit ourselves at the expense of others and nature, and when we start moving toward spiritual attainment, we start developing ourselves to become more and more like the force of bestowal and love—wishing for the benefit of others and nature.
Spiritual attainment is also called “attainment of adhesion with the Creator,” and it is how we attain eternal and perfect life.

By attaining spirituality, we equalize ourselves with the force of bestowal and love, live in it, and continue doing so for eternity. Our bodies are made only in order to perceive egoistic forces, and when we attain spirituality, equalizing with the force of bestowal and love, we discover that we actually have no bodies.

The wisdom of Kabbalah suggests “you will see your world in your life”; meaning, we can open a door to heaven during our lifetimes on earth. Life was not given to us to be merely swallowed and enjoyed. There is a much greater purpose for all our suffering.

When something unpleasant happens to a person, if he or she realizes that one can correct one’s egoism, the evil will become good through the power of love. Love is the key to heaven’s doors.

When we feel others and discover that they are connected to us, we begin to experience the force that flows between our souls, the source of life. The upper force revives everyone and gives each person wholeness.

Heaven occurs when all of humanity comes to a complete and eternal embrace.

Scientists state that humanity is on the verge of grave tribulations and will need wisdom and negotiating skills instead of jumping to conclusions—learn to live by rules of peaceful coexistence, even though it is apparent that we know less of how to live in this manner.

While this is correct, the future is awful for humanity, one of the intense repercussions and dramatic reactions that impact humanity. We probably are not able to escape them. Baal HaSulam, one of the acclaimed kabbalists, wrote that a third and even fourth nuclear world war is possible. If we do not listen to what the science of Kabbalah requires for us to do, then only disaster and blows can change us.

Nature urges us to realize the evil inclination of our human nature so we may begin to change. Such is the law of nature. It will not change but only manifest itself increasingly before us. It has to be felt on our skins, on ourselves, that we hold the evil inclination within. It is impossible to bypass this step. Nature will keep combing our flesh raw with a rake, and there is nothing we will be able to do about it.

We will need to reach the realization of the full depth of our terrible egotistical self and the need to change it, even of our own volition. Suffering will make this happen. We must arrive at a point and ask that nature change us internally in our inner qualities, in our minds.

Why does nature drive us into such a dilemma? After all, realizing and drawing conclusions from the quality of our inferior nature can be relatively easy. Almost everyone will agree that human nature is cruel and that we are incapable of holding positive relations.

We cannot and will never be able to change on our own. It requires systematic kabbalistic education to explain how to invoke nature’s positive forces on us all. Over several years, these benevolent forces will gradually bring about changes in us. It all depends upon the extent to which we can draw these forces into our lives, wishing for them to implement these changes.

A happy ending is possible, but we cannot jump to it. We can soberly look at what is happening and keep trying to raise human awareness. We can do nothing but constantly and sensibly add in such a direction. It will eventually sprout over time and with a lot of effort, drop by drop.

Why is the book of Psalms powerful? There is nothing more powerful than what the Creator expressed and revealed through King David in the Book of Psalms.

The Book of Psalms contains the revelation of the heart of the Creator’s will and attitude toward us, His created beings.

The Book of Psalms becomes even more powerful when it is read together with the others. It has the power to truly connect people.

The power contained in the Book of Psalms is love and connection itself, the most powerful force in existence, and King David himself talks about the connection to that force in the Psalms.

''He who strives to continually choose a better environment is worthy of praise and reward. But here, too, it is not because of his good thoughts and deeds, which come to him without his choice, but because of his effort to acquire a good environment, which brings him these good thoughts and deeds.''

“I find a great need to break an iron wall that has been separating us from the wisdom of Kabbalah,” wrote Kabbalist Yehuda Ashlag a.k.a. Baal HaSulam (“Master of the Ladder”) for his Ladder commentary on The Book of Zohar.

He is one of the greatest Kabbalists in the history of mankind. A unique soul that descended to our world to bring us the wisdom of Kabbalah, and bring us closer to a life filled with joy, peace and unity.

Indeed, he was the first to interpret the entire Zohar and the writings of the Ari, the first to adapt the ancient wisdom to every person, the first to publish a Kabbalistic newspaper (The Nation) and spread it publicly. His deep concern for the fate of humanity pulsated in his heart, a concern that dictated the entire course of his life.

"The definition of Kabbalah given by Kabbalist Yehuda Ashlag (Baal HaSulam) filtered down to its simple meaning is that Kabbalah is a method for attaining a higher reality, and it is available to any person.

This brings us to the question: Why would we even want to attain a higher reality? Why would we want to go beyond this world and explore something intangible beyond our five senses?

There are a few reasons.

One is evolutionary. Our evolution is characterized by a process of constantly developing desires. This process begins with us wanting to fulfill basic individual needs for food, sex, and family. Then, at a certain point, as our desires further develop, we start wanting what others have. The desire for money marks the beginning of our desires’ expansion into the social realm, and we thus develop systems of money and exchange.

After the desire for money develops in us, our desires undergo further development. Desires for honor, respect, fame, and control appear, and we see select individuals surfacing who claim that they can control and manage social systems, and thus we have leaders, politicians, and governments emerging. Lastly, the desire for knowledge develops. Historically, we see the desire for knowledge surfacing after a relatively still Middle Ages, an exponential resurgence of science, art, music, and culture from the Renaissance period and onward.

After the individual and social desires’ development, a new threshold is crossed, and a new desire surfaces, fundamentally different from the others. It is the desire for spirituality, called the “point in the heart” in the wisdom of Kabbalah. As kabbalistic sources such as 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘡𝘰𝘩𝘢𝘳 and the writings of Baal HaSulam predicted, this new desire becomes characteristic specifically of our era.

Unlike our individual and social desires, people with a spiritual desire are not drawn to very clear goals, such as how we can clearly picture what it means to achieve goals for food, sex, family, money, honor, and control. The spiritual desire is fundamentally different because it wants something outside our current perception of reality. It gives us feelings of emptiness in our previous desires as it draws us to question the meaning and purpose of our lives: What and who are we? Why are we alive? Where have we come from and where are we headed? What is reality? Why is there so much suffering in the world?

This new desire for spirituality wants true tangible answers to these questions, and in the lack of acceptable answers, it feels increasing dissatisfaction with the pleasures on offer through all of our other desires.

The wisdom of Kabbalah was made specifically for fulfilling this new desire for spirituality appearing in our era. Kabbalah is an empiric method, which can take a person from point A to point B through certain inner transformations by following a distinct plan and methodology.

The methodology includes study in a supportive environment. Somewhat similar to undergoing a fitness transformation with our physical bodies, where people take care of their exercise routine, nutrition, and rest, the person does not need too many things to achieve the desired goal. Through adhering to a certain methodology, we can perform the transformation to attain a higher reality through Kabbalah.

''It is said in The Zohar that The Book of Zohar will be revealed only at the End of Days, the days of the Messiah. This is so because we have already said that if the degrees of the students are not at the full measure of the degree of the author, they will not understand his intimations, since they do not have a common attainment.''

Loving our neighbor and loving God are one and the same.

God is the general force of nature, a single force of love and bestowal. Noting the equivalent value of God and nature, Kabbalist Yehuda Ashlag (Baal HaSulam) describes that in Gematria, the word for “God” ("𝘌𝘭𝘰𝘬𝘪𝘮") equals the word for “Nature” ("𝘏𝘢𝘛𝘦𝘷𝘢").

Upon this fundamental force that governs everything, God, there is another, opposite force that He created—reception.

Why did God do that? It is so that there will be someone outside of Himself, and that this "someone," who is defined as the desire to receive, will become like God, Nature, or the Creator: giving and loving. That is the greatest delight that is available to man, and God wishes man to enjoy no less than the ultimate sensation of perfection. It is what we need to reach.

We, human beings—not the still, vegetative, or animate levels of nature, but specifically us humans—have a flawed and corrupt sense of others. We wish to exploit them, and we need to shift from this flawed and corrupt perception of others to a positive feeling toward them. In other words, we need to start correcting ourselves.

First, we need to discover how flawed and corrupt we really are. By doing so, such a revelation will continually lead to our correction, a change of ourselves to resemble the general force of bestowal called "God," “Nature,” or "the Creator."

That is what it means to come closer to God. We can do so at any given moment by examining whether we are aligned with His quality of love and bestowal, i.e., whether we have an attitude of pure love and bestowal to others.
