Where is that in the Torah? I was thinking that the Principles of Torah is the certainty of life and as we obey then we know the results will be beneficial to us. If the "light" is the knowledge of the Torah and Torah never mentions about reincarnation. ie. Samuel did not "show up" as something else neither "Elyjah".

@brazilian777able The Zohar is the fundamental work of the Kabbalah, and is in the form of a commentary on the Bible much like the Talmud and Midrash. However, the Zohar is more than just a commentary on the Torah. In the Zohar’s own words, a literal translation of the Bible is virtually worthless. The Zohar is concerned with the relationships between the unseen forces of the cosmos and their impact on humanity. In essence, the Bible is a cosmic code that the Zohar deciphers and reveals.

does this mean that we must always at all times trust in Gods divine providence? is divine providence the issue that you are talking about? it sounds like you are saying that nomatter what is happening in life right now I must trust that I am in good hands, that is the hands of the creator. all the circumstances that I am living with are God,s gift to me, to use as an advantage to proceede towards godliness. praise God amen.

@thelouis22ism To make it very practical, it means we must take responsibility for everything that happens. "Divine Providence" is, quite simply, the laws of cause and effect. Everything we experience in life is a result of our own consciousness and a reflection of our choices. Cause and Effect exists to bring us to a place of transforming our desire to receive into a desire to share, therefore, every effect we experience is moving us to a more (spiritually) mature place.

@kabbalah Interesting that we don't find that in words given to Moses. Is this the new age for jews?
