Question from the Internet:

How is Kabbalah not evil if it involves taking the souls of others without informed consent?

My answer:

Thank you for the question.

I am not sure where you heard about Kabbalah from and where your information comes from.

However, the claim that in Kabbalah, people take the souls of others without consent is false.

The method of Kabbalah is practiced in small, mutually committed, and mutually supported groups where each and every member knows for certain what they do and why. Moreover, these people make and sign a mutual covenant with each other to help one another to achieve their common goal.

This common goal is collectively building a “soul,” which we can call a 6th sense that enables people to sense, perceive, and experience a layer of reality we cannot feel or sense by default.

This “soul” is not something personal; we do not have “personal souls.” The “soul” — unique sense and ability to perceive “spirituality” — a reality beyond what we experience through our 5 physical senses — is something mutual and collective that we build through learning, practicing, and building unique, selflessly, and unconditionally loving and bestowing connections between us.

This is a human interconnection where each individual exists and acts only for the benefit of others and for the benefit of the whole, completely annulling and surrendering one’s self to help others reach spirituality.

Thus, the correct definition of Kabbalah would be “A method where individuals consciously and willingly commit to giving soul and spiritual life to others.” Nobody takes anything for themselves; everybody gives everything possible — consciously, willingly, and unconditionally — to others in that mutually consenting, committed, and supportive environment.

It is this collective action that gives birth to the soul.
