Книгата Зоар съдържа много описания и понятия, които са ни познати от нашия свят, като „море“, „планини“, „дървета“, „цветя“, „животни“, „хора“ и „пътувания“. Важно е да разберем, че всички тези детайли, образи и събития, споменати в книгата, не говорят за външния свят около нас, а само за това, което се случва в нас.

В този урок ще се задълбочим в „езика на клоните“ и ще видим защо Зоар е написана точно по начина, по който е била написана.

Кой чете? Това може да изглежда очевидно – но всъщност това е един от най-важните най-дълбоки въпроси, които трябва да изясним.

Тъй като Зоар е метод за промяна на себе си, първо трябва да разберем кои сме, как в момента възприемаме реалността – и къде се намира това, до което искаме да стигнем.

Who wrote the Zohar? When? And most importantly – Why?

This lesson will delve into the history of the Zohar and why it was concealed for so long. We will zoom in on the significant contributions of 3 great Kabbalists: Rabbi Shimon Bar-Yochai (Rashbi), Isaac Luria (the Holy Ari) and Rabbi Yehuda Leib HaLevi Ashlag (Baal HaSulam).

It is said that ‘the secrets of zohar are hidden behind a thousand locked gates’ – but that’s only so if you look at it from the outside. The Zohar addresses a single person, everything is inside that person, and because of the law of equivalence of form – there are no locks, no gates, and no secrets.

This lesson will delve into “the law of equivalence of form” – we will begin to uncover how through this law, the Zohar can help us build a second nature with which we can perceive the Creator, the general law of Nature.

If my very nature is the will to receive, how could it ever be possible to truly reach an unconditional desire to give? 

After all, if we could do this we would break through that iron wall which separates between us and the higher level of nature.

For this predicament, there are two practical tools described in the Zohar that we can use to work above our nature:

The first is called “the screen” or “the work in three lines” – and this will be the focus of this lesson.

“The rule, “Love thy friend as thyself” is not a moral law that aims to force us to love other people. It is rather a means by which we connect the whole of reality to ourselves.” – Unlocking the Zohar, Chapter 5

Love your friend as yourself – What does it mean? What has it got to do with the Zohar? 

In the previous lesson we outlined the screen (i.e the intention, the work in three lines) as being the first tool to help us rise above our nature and come to sense the upper world. However it can only work when used together with the second tool – which is called ‘love your friend as yourself’. Enter the lesson to learn more.
