You have to Okay, this is so hard to explain to the Goyam. Bro, need I remind you right now, okay, the guy who's playing the most important role in the United States special envoy for peace in the Middle East is [ __ ] Jared Kushner. This is the guy playing the biggest role, a member of Habad.
So, like, let's let's remember that, okay? Let's let's remember that the Cabala tradition is a rebbitical tradition, okay? It starts really in the 1500s with a guy called the Ari.
I'll pull him up. So this is the original guy. Okay, so Cabala starts with this guy.
This dude was a teacher in Ottoman Palestine as you can see here. Okay, Ottoman Palestine in Jerusalem. He was a Jew who lived in Jerusalem in the 1500s.
What did he do? He actually was not an author. Fun fact about him, which is kind of funny because most of this stuff is based on books, but more on that later.
He was just a teacher. He was a mystic. He was a hermit.
He was a teacher. And he walked around and said lots of like weird things. And let me note, I've said this in the video before.
Um, this community of people h are genetically predisposed to schizophrenia. Let me let me note that this group of people genetically predisposed to paranoid schizophrenia. Okay?
Like, let's let's note that. So, if we're being real, this guy was probably just schizophrenic, but we didn't know what that was at the time. So, Isaac Lauria, he's a teacher.
He's probably schizophrenic now. Like, he's probably schizophrenic and just like losing his mind. He He's a teacher.
Doesn't write anything really. However, he gains a following of people because they're like, "He's a miracle worker. He's a genius rabbi, yada yada yada.
He's moving around. " Okay. And so, he gains a group of followers.
those followers, they go on to write what we now know as the Cabala. Okay, so the Cabala is based on the writings of a book called the Zohar. Very weird book, has murky origins.
It was written in the 1500s. However, they say that it contains teachings from all the way back in when the Israelites were in Babylon. It's you can't really confirm that.
And I like to work in real history here. So, for all intents and purposes, we're going to start our story with this guy. What what actually is Cabala?
How how can I explain Laurianic Cabala? This is the movement that he creates. Okay.
Now, basically what they believe is that all of the Torah, so the Old Testament of the Bible, the Torah, okay, it's basically one large metaphor in a way like because you have to understand Cabala is very, it's a rabbitical study and it's very focused on the notion that there are more than one meaning to words, to numbers, to all sorts of things. So actually you might have seen this diagram before. Hold on.
So they believe that basically all of the Hebrew letters have numerical assignments. Like they basically believe that everything has a double meaning. Okay, this is this is kind of a core central belief in Cabala.
Okay, this is the idea. What does that mean? All of the Old Testament, they believe that a lot of it is metaphorical or it like speaks about a more universal thing.
It speaks about a more modern concurrent thing. I'll explain what I mean by that. All of this starts at the start of the Bible.
And if you watched my video, you saw me break this down. They believe that the world the world as we know it was not created how the Bible says exactly. Okay.
They believe that the bi that the world was created in this very specific way in something called what is what what is that? That sounds like a Star Wars word. What the what the [ __ ] is that?
Okay. It basically means the shattering. Okay.
Okay, the shattering of the vessels. Let me explain. In the Cabala mindset, okay, Cabala is obsessed with this idea of something called the Einoff.
This is the Einsoft. What the hell is this? What What are we looking Actually, let me move me out of the way.
Hold on. What are we looking at here? What is this?
What's the Einsoft? Okay, this the Ein Now it's about to get crazy. So, the Einsaw is the belief of God before God.
What is that? What the hell does that mean? Well, how do you have God before God?
I'll explain. Now, they believe that God as we understand him to be like God is supposed to be an infinite thing, right? He's God.
He's omnipotent. He's infinite. Okay?
God is everywhere. God is infinite. This is kind of the central belief around a monotheistic God.
However, if God is infinite, if God is everywhere, and we live in a finite world, well, that doesn't that doesn't make a lot of sense. How how can something that is infinite in size and scope live in a finite world? This is the argument.
Okay. And so what they believe is that in order for God to have created our world, created a finite world, meaning a world that is like past, present, future, it's finite, has a limited amount of space, you know, we live, we die, all that stuff. A finite world that God had to compress himself down.
Okay? They believe that God infinite thing infinite dimensions had to compress himself down so that he could basically like fit into our world if that makes sense. Now they believe that this happened that the Einoft that thing I'm referring to that is God before God that when I say God in a way we are anthropomorphizing him.
What does that mean? It means we're assigning attributes to him. When I say God, in your mind, you think, okay, God, pray to him in the sky.
Maybe maybe you even think of him literally as a big man in the sky. God, we think of God. Okay, in a in a finite sense.
They say, "No, God's infinite. " And so therefore, when we say God, we're actually referring to a manifestation of him. Like, what?
That's what does that mean? I used this example in my video going into this, right? So when we look at when we look at the Geico gecko okay what okay when we look at the Geico gecko okay what what is the Geico gecko he's a mascot he represents the company Geico so Geico is a gigantic multinational I think multinational don't quote me on that multinational or at least like whole America like whole domestic national insurance company right a conglomerate of thousands upon thousands if not millions people.
Okay, that's what Geico is. The Geico Gecko is the mascot of that. So, he represents the brand.
When you talk about Geico and like you talk about the Geico Gecko, you're talking about this gigantic company that is spread out all across America, but he's the representative. He's the mascot and they can make advertising messages with him, yada yada yada. This is this is how they view God, if that makes sense.
They believe that God the way in which we understand him as people that it's he's kind of a mascot for this grander thing that is the true infinite unnamed god. I mean the word eins that literally means without ends without end without beginning. It means totally infinite.
Okay. Don't let me be clear. This is not what I believe.
This is this is cabala. I'm explaining cabala to you. This is all the background stuff before we begin to understand what's actually happening here.
I'm sorry. This stuff is complicated. What do you want from me?
Now, they believe that when God when this when God, this infinite God wanted to come down and live in our world, wanted to come down and create our world, he had to do it in a very specific way. You might have seen this image. It's actually on the thumbnail.
The tree of Nope. The tree of life in Cabala. This This is the tree of life.
What What is this? This is the most common symbol in in Cabala. What is this?
Can Cabala help me score an Hasparian? Possibly. Possibly.
We'll get we'll we'll cover that. Don't worry. We'll get there.
This is the tree of life. You know what? Let me actually let me like save this and put it on screen.
This is the tree of life. Okay. This is This is the tree of life in Cabala.
What What is this? What the hell is this? Now they believe okay that God as you can see in the image here the Einoft the infinite God okay he went where okay there we go he's up here okay this is the infinite god he's up here okay he wants to come down into what the finite world he's that's here see that that's the world oh that's that's a little sus yo hold on relax this is the finite world okay so in order for the infinite god who lives up here who's infinite incomprehensible whatever ever.
In order for him to come down and create our world, a finite material place, okay, he has to go through this stuff. You see everything in the middle. Think of this as a coffee filter.
Okay? So unfiltered God up here. Pure energy, pure light, pure God through the filter.
Down here, he's God as we understand him and watch him on I don't know, Family Guy. This is this is how Cabala works. Okay.
This is it's like a big filter. Okay. And they believe that in order to do that, he had to go through this gigantic filter.
And as you can see, each of these little individual circles, as you can see on the sides, the Sepharat or the Sephara, all these little guys right here, these are like attributes of God. And this is like as as the energy of God went through them, he gained all of his attributes. This is his wisdom.
This is his love, mercy, his beauty, all that. And then it comes into the world. Okay, you see that this is this is this is how it works.
And I'll explain why there's a man in the center. Okay, why there's this in the center. That's it's a depiction of what this book, the Zohar describes.
Why why is this important? They believe that when God did this, when God decided to enter into the mortal world, when God decided to go from up here through the coffee filter down here, okay, they believe that he started up here. His light entered into the tree of life.
It got down a little bit to like here and here. Okay. And then once it reached the center, here we go.
The center. You see that? Once it reached there, it was too powerful.
Everything exploded. What do I mean by that? What what the hell am I talking about?
They basically believe that this structure, the tree of life, this guy, it exploded because God's energy, God's raw, unfiltered, infinite energy, was too strong that when it entered into the coffee filter, it exploded. You ever had a coffee filter and you put too much coffee in it and then you like the the water trap didn't open and then it filled up with too much water and so it bursts and then you start getting coffee that has like grounds in it? that that's what they think happened is that it exploded.
Okay, the filter gets clogged and it explodes. Okay, why is that important? What is what what the hell am I talking about?
Now, they believe that because this thing exploded, right? We have to understand first and foremost that the Jewish understanding of God and the Christian/Muslim understanding of God very, very different thing. Very, very different.
They say it's similar. It's absolutely not. They view God as less of a omnipotent deity that we pray to that rules over us kind of like a king.
They view God as like a sentient energy. Like God is an energy that's all around us at all times that is sentient. So it's like a sent I don't know like [ __ ] what's a good example?
Like mana in World of Warcraft or some [ __ ] You know what I mean? It's like it's like a sentient energy that has a has a mind. That's basically how to describe it.
And the whole point of their religious beliefs and their religious movements is to attempt to harness the power of God to wield it to wield it like a, you know, like a almost like magic, like how we understand sorcery. It's kind of like that. It's attempting to wield the power of God.
That that is what Cabala is. It's the purest attempt of trying to control the energy and power of God. If that makes sense.
Now let us continue on. Yes, I am talking about the shards of Adam Kam. We'll get into that in a minute.
So basically, okay, all this happens, the thing explodes. What is what does that mean? Why why is this going on?
What what's what the hell is happening here? Now, as God was creating the world in that gigantic tree that I just showed you, he was also creating humanity. That's why there's a guy in the center.
And the whole thing I just described of this guy of the Einsoft coming down into the world also is how our souls came into the world. They're they're the same thing kind of. It's the same process.
So they believe that our souls which come from God which they believe are kind of like a piece of God, a piece of his energy. It's the same thing. Okay, that's what they believe.
And so they believe that it went through the same coffee filter here. Okay, it went through the same thing to come into humanity. But God's power is too much.
It's too strong. It's too infinite that when it came into the human spirit, when it came into Adam, the first man, it exploded and it it blew up. That's you know how in the Bible they talk about the Garden of Eden and the apple.
They see that as metaphorical. They don't see they don't literally believe that Adam lived in the Garden of Eden and then ate the apple and then was kicked out of Eden. They believe that's a metaphor that it's not.
They that's a me that the apple is the metaphor for this energy that caused them to explode basically. So what does all this matter? Why does why does the chevaratim matter here?
So this is the basis of existence in their mind. So they believe that God's light when it went through that big thing and then exploded. Okay, they believe that it got scattered out into the world.
It gets scattered out all over the world and now the world is fundamentally broken. That the world is fundamentally fallen which Christianity does kind of believe but besides the point. Basically they believe the world is fundamentally broken because of this.
This is why the world is fundamentally broken in their mindset. This is why the world has evil. This is why the world has sin is because of this this [ __ ] thing.
Okay? That's that's what they believe. Now why why does that matter?
They believe that the that every single soul on earth, okay? So my soul, your soul, your dad's soul, everyone's soul has pieces of God in it. This whole thing that I just described, this whole energy, right?
And that the most pure, the most connected to God, the souls that have the most of this God, godly gunk, the souls that were like that became the Jewish people. So the Israel, the nation of Israel, and then all of us, the Gentiles, the goyam, whatever you want to call us, the non-Jews in the world, we were the other stuff. So all this like godly gunk that came down went into them, went into the nation of Israel.
And now us, all the like chaotic universal chaos stuff that got mixed up in this god gunk, that's us. So like they are pure in this coffee metaphor. They are the purest form of like espresso and we are like like the back wa like the backwash coffee if that makes sense.
So now what? What?
