I'm just starting, what can I expect?
>>
expect that you will never have any bitches, but you may understand a thing or two about god and the nature of reality.
>>
>>41382779
waste of time
you'll get further faster with yoga/kundalini/tantra or some type of taoist practice because they not only have fancy charts but actually map it to the body and have an energetic system to manifest it fully
unless you're jewish or something and have a teacher who can initiate you into the real shit

>>41382779
neoplatonic judaism with tons of rabbinic larp like sefirot, four worlds, adam kadmon, klippoth shells, shattering vessils, etc. better off sticking with the og plotinus

eastern religions can seriously fuck off. buddhism and advaita know full well about the potential for ekstasis yet insist on teaching nothing but achieving a state of permanent objectless consciousness like suicidal freaks. tantra is better but still teaches the same inefficient mind numbing meditation/mantra techniques. taoism is just goofy as fuck and you'll just make yourself look like a retard doing chi gong to balance your dan tiens yin yang

You might like this.

>There was a man who lived in the mountains. He knew nothing about those
who lived in the city. He sowed wheat and ate the kernels raw. One day he
entered the city. They offered him good bread. The man asked, “What’s this
for?”
They replied, “It’s bread, to eat!”
He ate, and it tasted very good. He asked, “What’s it made of?”
They answered, “Wheat.”
Later they offered him thick loaves kneaded with oil. He tasted them,
and asked, “And what are these made of?”
They answered, “Wheat.”
Later they offered him royal pastry kneaded with honey and oil. He
asked, “And what are these made of?”
They answered, “Wheat.”
He said, “Surely I am the master of all of these, since I eat the essence
of all of these: wheat!”
Because of that view, he knew nothing of the delights of the world,
which were lost on him. So it is with one who grasps the principle but is
unaware of all those delectable delights deriving, diverging from that
principle.

if you still need philosophy the enneads and neoplatonism are probably the best, most clear expression of the perennial philosophy (monistic theism) and is the basis for kabbalah, christian mysticism, etc. and is much the same philosophy as kashmir shaivism and suddhadvaita, aurobindo, all the highest expressions of hinduism
for spiritual knowledge and experiences you need ekstasis, start with dream journaling every day and SSILD every night and incorporate michael raduga's indirect method into your SSILD practice for OBEs once you've gotten good at lucid dreaming with it

moral of the story, stick to your lands mysticism

>>41384962
Yet he is right because all is wheat. Moreover if the man wants to eat only wheat, let him eat wheat. In fact what is truly wondrous is not the pastries, it's what really turning the wheat into the pastries.
This story was written by someone who wants others to convert others and shame them, not someone who wants to enlighten.
Whenever someone tries to regain his higher spiritual nature, the shills come out of the woodworks to shout him down and dissuade him. I guess the machine really hates when it's prisoners start to wake up. But it can't stop them forever. It's inevitable.

Most people think they’re starting Kabbalah,
but they’re deep in something else.
Golden Dawn, Regardie, Levi, that whole crowd, they took some pieces, mixed, and made a new thing.
Looks like Kabbalah on the surface, but no.
Example:
That "Tree of Life" has Malkhut linked to Hod and Netzach.
Makes no sense if you actually understand how the Tree works.

If you really want to start learning Kabbalah,
Stay away from popular books like Dion Fortune.
They’ll send you in the wrong direction fast.

It’s not about rituals.
Not about “get what you want” or power fantasies like "The Secret" nonsense.
That’s just modern spiritual marketing.
Real Kabbalah is about understanding Torah.

It’s part of a larger structure:
You’ve got Mishnah, Gemara, and then the inner layers.
Zohar deals with sod, the “secret”level interpretation. Using gematria and other Hebrew tools to uncover deeper meaning.
But there are not magical secrets...
It’s about understanding mitzvot better.
In the end, it comes down to three things:
Study (Binah)
Prayer/meditation (Chokhmah)
Action/Doing Mitzvot (Malkhut)
When those align, you reach Da’at.
>>
>>41386890

Don’t start with Zohar. It’s too dense unless you have commentary.
Start here instead:
- Guide for the Perplexed (Maimonides) — clarifies what Judaism says about God
- Mesilat Yesharim (Luzzatto) — basic moral and ethical framework
- Pardes Rimmonim(Cordovero)
- Sha’arei Orah (Gikatilla) — clearer intro to the Sefirot

And if you want something more modern, I can recommend the books of Aryeh Kaplan.

But none of it matters if you’re not reading Torah. That’s the base.
Forget rituals with Divine Names. That comes way later. If you start there, you’re going to misfire badly and make your life worse.

Start with Mesilat Yesharim. Try to apply what it says.
If you’re not Jewish, real Kabbalah may not be for you. Not trying to gatekeep. Just being real.
It’s tied to mitzvot. Without them, you’re missing the real meaning.
Unless what you meant was the Dion Fortune stuff (Not real Kabbalah). Then yeah, none of what I said applies.

why does this not make sense to you?
do you know what god is?

also, when you do correct the esoteric revivalist understandings with rabbinical (say chbd) interpretation; you don't end up with a different point on the map, you end up with a variation of the interpretive perspective; which is actually far more valuable, as the tree inherently teaches.

many of the revivalists spent a lot of time in the sefer yetzirah; which is probably the most complete form as to employing the method. everything else is commentary and correspondence.

you are right, but sefer yetzirah is too complicated to start with

i don't disagree, but i think the realization isn't the pride of knowing you don't know, but rather it translates to go beyond, in a meta sense, to the realization of the experience of. david cooper covers this pretty well.
>>
>>41387001
sure, but you're never going to get most people to understand the method via piles of text.

the decision you make on that point is fairly determinative. and the Melchizedek understand it way better.
