The Ethical Aspect of God’s Creation and the Sephirot

The focus of the work of Rav Berg at the Kabbalah Center is to help people use the teachings of the Kabbalah to improve themselves and then transform the world into the perfected place which is the goal of creation. Understanding how the sephirot interact with each other and are affected by human behavior helps us to improve our behavior.

When we look at the famous chart of the sephirot we see that there are two outer columns. The column on the right represent the sephirot which signify how God reveals more blessings in the world when mankind and individuals use their previous blessings with compassion. The sephirot on the left side correspond to the way God hides these blessings when people abuse them in a selfish way and without compassion. This is exactly how our behavior is responsible for whether or not God seems present or absent.

By studying the sephirot and the Kabbalah we can learn how to make the world a better place.

Finally - Started!

It took me a while, but I have been very busy.
I bought a book by Rav Berg (check here), and have been reading it, before I take the risk of going to a lecture or two at the Kabbalah Centre. I am quite overwhelmed by all that is happening at work, so I need to dedicate some time to considering the content and meaning of the book.

Berg is Kabbalah Leader

Rav Berg, the founder and leader of the Kabbalah Center, which has grown to many cities around the US as well as internationally, is a Kabbalah Leader. Rav Berg studied with some of the greatest Kabbalistic masters of the contemporary age, and as Rav Berg himself testifies, he was appointed to continue the Kabbalist traditions, and he was also told to open the doors of the Kabbalah to the masses. This is quite interesting and revolutionary, as traditionally the Kabbalah was studied by a select few Jewish Kabbalists. The Kabbalah Centre opened the light of the Kabbalah to the masses and especially English speaking people.

Online and Offline Kabbalah

If you are looking for a place to study Kabbalah, then both online and offline there are a number of options. The Kabbalah Centre is one of those that will be suggested by most people asked. Search for the Kabbalah Centre and its founders, Rav Berg and Karen Berg, on the internet, and you are sure to find interesting material. The Kabbalah Center has a large number of people who attend its lectures, and there are many who have seen Rav Berg and Karen Berg as Kabbalah visionaries who have started the Kabbalah revolution with the founding and ongoing activities of the Kabbalah Center.

Kabbalah

The many generations of leaders over the years who have taken hold of the world in one way or another are generally considered to be those who conquered continents or who were involved in military campaigns of one sort or another. There are, however, many leaders who influenced the world and History more than those whose names were on the lips of thousands of people during their lives. Sometimes, however, it takes a keener eye and a wider perspective to notice these individuals.

The principle text of the Kabbalah, the Zohar, was compiled by the Talmudist Rav Shimon Bar Yochai 2000 years ago, and it is not only Jews who have realized the tremendous influence that the Zohar, the Kabbalah, and Bar Yochai have had on the world and history. One need only look for the various institutions and centres of Kabbalah around the internet and America to note how popular the Kabbalah and Zohar texts have become among those who otherwise have nothing to do with it. The breakthrough is when places like the Kabbalah Center started teaching these sources in English and other modern languages.
