[Lisarata]

As I understand it, the story in Genesis is an allegory. I feel sorry about people insisting humanity started 6,000 years ago or whatever. That's a religious belief. I don't want to try another religion. The essence of it is for a person to separate their ego from their sense of who they are. It's a way of thinking about life. I don't know what it says about evolution, except that we evolve from being a cell to a zygote to a fetus and so on.

Does it fit with Evolution? Or does it go against it or contradict it like the bible?

[Lisarata]

Its origin is a mystery. It was given to Abraham and only taught verbally. Since 1997 it's been made available to anyone who seeks the meaning of life.

By 'how does it work' I'd have to say that you can't work it. Or I might say it works according to your willingness to let yourself be changed.

[Lisarata]

As I understand it the Kabbalah was given by God to Abraham, but it wasn't written down, only passed on orally to people who could comprehend it. Then it was written into the Zohar, and until 1997 it could only be studied by adult, married Jewish males. Since then it's been made available to anyone who earnestly seeks to know the meaning of their life.

[Reido2828]

What is its origins and how does it work?

He never uses the word God, only creator.  I think this is because he wants Kabbalah to appeal to everyone. Creator is pretty neutral. The word God can be seen as Christian, Yaweh can be seen as Jewish, Allah can be seen as Muslim. Those words also bring into mind certain predetermined ideas. Its also an effort to be more "scientific" in its approach since its trying to be separate from religion.

[Hirschian]

Illuminati, what ever it is, are not religious Jews (if Jews at all). Kabbalah is not black magic, in the 15th cent there was a group of non-Jews, mixing it with christian gnosticism, who got into it and this trend followed up until this day. Nothing to do with traditional Jewish kabbalah.Just a bunch of goofy people like Aleister Crowley the clown. I learn Kabbalistic stuff every day, Zohar, Ramchal, Sefer Yitzirah. Just for the fun of it. And I learn Talmud most of my day.

It's a hard to look at what is going on around us every day.

Yet none of you can envision a better world.

Perhaps your afraid to?

If not for myself then who? If not now when?

"There is none else besides Him"

You don't have to figure it out on your own, we are all connected on the spiritual level

Where you see fragmentation,cynisim,chaos, I see that there is another way of living life.

Choose Life........

I've seen this guy on a few other videos. He seems to be very clear about what is happening now and where it originated and what the future holds. He speaks in a very simple way.
