Kabbalah Revealed

This is my second and last post about Kabbalah series, because it is less fun to write about it then I anticipated, actually it is very boring, and this is not what this blog is about.

This blog was created to be fun, to share ideas and thoughts with other people that I feel would be fun to share, but this felt like a job reviewing a movie, and I don't like how it feels.

So I started looking ahed at those movies, and there was few new things that I wanted to comment, and just was no fun.

But there is one last thing that I want to talk about, I think it was in the third movie where he states (quoting from memory):

Everything that happens is from God. God is good and never does evil things, therefore if something is happening to you that feels evil or unfair, it is not, but it is your wicked, unenlightened mind that perceives it as evil or bad when it is in reality good, because all is from God and God is good, so real Kabbalist don't get upset about why God is treating him or hear bad, unfair or evil but knows that he or she needs to changed him or her self to understand that it is good because it is from God.

Quote is not exact word by word, and might be exaggerated, but it is what is said in that movie, and that is a very dangerous idea.

This might be likened to Christian attitude

Everything that is good is from God, everything evil is from flesh.

but it is much more dangerous then that because it encourages people to accept misfortune, and not only accept it but try to change themselves in order to be able to interpret those misfortunes as something positive.

Hence if you work in some sweatshop for $1/week you should change yourself so that you understand that it is because God is so good that this is happening, and the situation you are in is good for you, instead of fighting for higher living standards.

If your country is overrun by Communist revolution it is a good thing for your people.

If your country is sold piece by piece it is a good thing because it is better that way, God knew that it was too big for you and is doing you a favor.

If you country is occupied by foreign forces that are killing civilians on daily basis, well that is good situation, somehow, change yourself if you disagree.

Basically what I am saying is this:

When I see Kabbalists packing their bags and moving out from Israel instead of fighting for their land, then I say oh they really believe what they are teaching others, but while they are fighting against and resisting "Gods good intentions" that is manifested by Arabs that are willing to become suicide bombers in order to drive them from the land I will consider Kabbalists hypocrites.
