SEEING THROUGH THE EYES OF A JEWISH MYSTIC

"…The mystical quest....penetrates to the depth of all thought, all feelings, all tendencies, all aspirations and all worlds from beginning to end….everything is important….there is no lost gesture….all is interdependent, organically related….the mystical vision is the soul of religion …of torah….it’s far reaching unity embraces all creatures…all expressions of life…all objectives and ideals….’’  R. Avraham Tzvi Kook  "the Lights of Holiness’’

The Unseen Dimension

Kabbalah is referred to as Chochmat HaNistar  - The wisdom of the Hidden or Unseen

See the vastness of what there is to see, that are normally not seen
See the vastness of the normally overlooked gifts that people give you
See the vastness of wisdom accessible to you that you normally overlook
See the vastness of coping tools that you constantly create
See the vastness of salvations that Hashem sends you all the time
See the vastness of guidance that G-d constantly sends to you
See the vastness of love that you have in your heart [usually unexpressed]
See the vastness of experiences and life lessons that you have experienced
See the vastness of esoteric energies, angels, soul stirrings calling to you
See the vastness of as yet untapped influences that you can send out

The Unified Dimension

Kabbalah is referred to as the Wisdom of Correspondences, all corresponds to all else so profoundly, that everything comes together in a profound state of unity.

1. SEE HOW ALL IS INTER-INCLUDED See how everything is inter-included in everything else, what's outside of you is also inside of you, what is needed to realize this, is to plug in and feel and resonate and recall. Try to feel and resonate inside of yourself, with things that are outside of yourself, whether they be outside of yourself in space or in time. Experiment, keep on pushing the buttons of resonation, until you can truly identify that which is outside of yourself , inside of yourself, until you can feel what a person, a place, a historical happening, etc. feels like.

2. SEE HOW ALL IS INTERDEPENDENT See how everything is dependent on everything else, how actions are dependent on words, and how words are dependent on feelings, and how feelings are dependent on thoughts, and how thoughts are dependent on will, and how will is dependent on HIS will.  See how one person's will, thoughts, feelings, actions and words are dependent on other people's same faculties, and other's on them and many people's on one central person's, and this one central person's faculties is dependent on their teachers and their parents and their teachers’ teachers and parents’ parents faculties going back and back to the beginning. See how the animal and plant and mineral kingdoms are dependent upon each other. See how large parts of the world's people are dependent upon a small part. See how large parts of history are dependent on one specific part. See how all these independent entities are all significant, are all necessary parts of the whole.

3. SEE HOW ALL IS SIGNIFICANT See how the inter-inclusion and the interdependency of all things, makes everything significant because everything, in its own way and time and place, is necessary for the needs of everything else. The body is significant for the soul, the physical is significant for the spiritual, the small is significant for the big, the dark for the light, etc. All is important, all is valuable, all is complimentary to all else.

4. SEE THE RAMIFICATIONS OF THIS UNITY See what is learned from this mystical unity. this inter-included, interdependent unity. See how this unity penetrates to the depths of all dimensions, all thought, all aspirations, all perfection, for when everything fits in, when everything harmonizes, when there is a special place reserved for all things. Then there is peace, and there is oneness, and there is goodness, and there is clarity, and there is meaning and the soul of reality is revealed and in control, and then everyone will know and see with the supernal hidden light that all is One and that all is connected together and connected to the Divine source of all life.

The Receptive Dimension

Kabbalah is referred to as the Wisdom of Receiving – a received tradition dating back to Sinai, as well as a way of engaging reality, through the power and openness of receptivity:
