"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 desiresโ 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 desiresโ development, a new threshold is crossed, and a new desire surfaces, fundamentally different from the others. It is the desire for spirituality, called the โpoint in the heartโ in the wisdom of Kabbalah. As kabbalistic sources such as ๐๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ก๐ฐ๐ฉ๐ข๐ณ 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.
