What is real love? Is it a commitment expressed in action? A transformative inner experience? A cosmic force pulling the soul back toward its Source? Mystical traditions across cultures and centuries have offered various answers. Among the most profound are those found in Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism) and Christian theology, particularly its mystical streams. Both traditions…

In recent decades, “New Age” spirituality has grown increasingly popular. It shows up in practices like astrology, crystals, energy healing, manifestation techniques, channeling, and even spiritual “self-help” philosophies. On the surface, it looks positive—who wouldn’t want enlightenment, healing, and a sense of connection with the universe? So why does Christianity view the New Age as…

1. Love as God’s Nature At the most foundational level, the Bible teaches that God is love: This doesn’t mean that “love” in the human sense defines God, but rather that God’s very being is the source and standard of what true love is. Love is not just one of His attributes; it is His…

In a world full of New Age teachings, it is easy to get lost in endless labels, practices, and promises of enlightenment. Kabbalah provides clarity and a framework to discern what is authentic, purposeful, and aligned with God. 1. Is God at the Center? 2. Is the Teaching Simple and Direct? 3. Are Responsibility and…

Non-duality has become a popular spiritual concept in many modern teachings. Its language is seductive: “there is no separation,” “all is one,” “desire is illusion,” “duality is ego.” It promises liberation from conflict, judgment, and suffering. At first, it feels expansive and transcendent, even enlightening. But beneath this apparent light lies a dangerous misunderstanding of…

In the previous post, we explored the Four Worlds and the principle of “as above, so below” — how Divine light flows from the upper spiritual realms into the lower, physical world, and how our task is to harmonize them through Yichud and Dirah B’tachtonim: making a dwelling for God in the lower world. Evil,…

In Kabbalah, creation is structured through four spiritual worlds, each representing a stage in the manifestation of Divine light from the infinite to the finite. Understanding these worlds helps us see how the cosmos, the soul, and the physical world are interconnected, and how our work on earth can complete the spiritual cycle. The Four…

In Kabbalah, the Shechinah, the immanent Divine Presence, is not always fully revealed. After Shevirat ha-Kelim (the shattering of the vessels), Divine light became scattered, and the Shechinah entered a state of exile. This is not just a cosmic event; it reflects the state of hiddenness of God in the world — and often, in…

In Kabbalah, the soul’s journey does not always end with one lifetime. Sometimes, a soul must return, taking on a new body and new circumstances to continue its work. This is called Gilgul Neshamot, or the cycle of soul reincarnation. Why Reincarnation? Reincarnation exists to allow the soul to complete its Tikkun — the repair…

In Kabbalah, the soul is not static. It moves, evolves, and experiences cycles of ascent and descent. These movements are known as Aliyah (going up) and Yeridah (going down). They describe the flow of the soul as it interacts with Divine light and the challenges of the physical world. Yeridah: The Descent Yeridah, or descent,…
