Modern Science Leaves Questions Unanswered

Mankind is constantly searching for a logical substantiation of their existence. To this end, man has been studying the laws of nature for many thousands of years.
Despite this, modern scientists are finding that the more they advance in their scientific investigations, the more confusing and unclear the picture of the world becomes. Answers to the question about the purpose of this world and mankind's existence have not yet been found. [read more]

What is Different about Kabbalah? 

Out of all the sciences which are constantly developing and investigating the world around us, Kabbalah is a special science that helps develop us in a completely unique way. Besides the material world that is studied by the natural sciences there also exists another world that is concealed from us.

The science of Kabbalah studies this hidden world. We sense that this concealed world exists. Why without seeing this world do we still suspect that it exists? As we uncover only partial laws of the Universe, we understand that more complete laws must exist, ones that are more logical and are capable of explaining all aspects of our life. This means that something escapes our senses and is not currently being grasped by us.

Kabbalah is a science that deals with drawing near to the Creator. It studies the system of creation, examines how the Creator conducts this system, and how creation can rise to the level of the Creator. It is a method of reaching spiritual fulfillment. Through the study of Kabbalah, you too can learn to direct your heart and consequently your life toward success, tranquility, peace, and happiness.

Origins and Purpose of Kabbalah 

Science and religion are two parallel paths, which humanity followed while researching this world, when trying to understand the place and possibilities of Homo sapiens and to determine the purpose and meaning of its existence.

These attempts have continued, for many thousands of years, without yielding any definite result. In order to get such a result, humanity had to go through a long and difficult period of development. During this time, a fundamental science about the structure of the entire universe, about man's unique place and purpose in it, and about the properties and structure of a human soul was being created and passed from generation to generation.

This science is called Kabbalah. Ancient philosophers, medieval theologians, and contemporary physicists tried to delve into its secrets. Today, when the period of humanity's material development is coming to an end, Kabbalah is becoming accessible to everyone who wants to receive answers to "the final questions" - accessible to such an extent that there is an opportunity to offer everyone a chance to familiarize themselves with its basic principles, and to understand in which direction humanity will develop in the future.

The Purpose of Kabbalah is to answer the eternal questions about the essence and the meaning of existence of the universe and man, which has a certain philosophical concept about the creation and, at the same time, is a living system of special spiritual development.

Kabbalah: A Modern Science 

In order to research itself and the surroundings, humanity has developed various sciences such as physics, chemistry, biology etc. They are called Natural Sciences, and they are based on man's five senses. In order to help himself with studying nature, man built instruments to extend the range of his senses. Gradually, from generation to generation man gained experience and reached a better understanding of the problem of survival in this world. But among all sciences, there is one that develops us quite differently; it is called the science of Kabbalah.

Beyond the corporeal world that we research, there is another world, concealed. Though we cannot see it, we do feel its existence. But why do we assume its existence if we cannot feel it? It is because we see that there are specific laws, which are a part of a broader reality. We understand that such general, more rational laws, which describe our lives and our existence comprehensively, simply must exist. There is something that eludes us, slips our awareness.

Difference between Science of Kabbalah and Religion 

A little bit more on how Kabbalah is not a religion

Religion assumes that the Creator changes His attitude to the person depending on the person's actions. The science a Kabbalah however states that the Upper Force is invariable, and the actions of a person can in no way affect it. Instead, the person's actions can change himself. He will be able to perceive the Upper Governance differently, if his own changes are aimed toward greater resemblance. He will be able to perceive the Creator as kind and good. By increasing the difference between his properties (reception) and those of the Creator (bestowal), he will feel the Creator's attitude as more negative. [read more]
