So I went to a presentation put on by the Kabbalah Centre, owned and run by Michael and Karen Berg. I want to share some of what was there tonight because I know there are those amongst us who have studied Kabbalah; and of course I feel it is part of my directive in fighting racism to attend these things.
First, our lecturer whose name was Madison began by saying that Kabbalah is an ancient system that predates science and is based on the Zohar which is 2500 years old. She called Abraham the first Kabbalist.
She states that God is always giving, and that we are vessels who are designed to always receive. She further stated that at the moment of the big bang, we the vessels, put up a curtain that stops us from receiving everything we desire until we overcome our Tikkun. Our Tikkun are essentially our "issues" that we want to transform back into light.
Examples of Tikku are impatience, destruction, fear of rejection, the need for external validation, regret.
