The seemingly confusing language of Kabbalah

An opinion from the Internet on how Kabbalists describe reality:

“I listened to a video about a Kabbalist describing reality and it is indeed a confusing message. It doesn’t speak to the individual and the effects of their personal journey, but to some abstract concept of society as if it were an individual. As such it helps no one. And to assume that we (anyone) knows the mind of God is indeed a grand stretch of the imagination.”

I agree that the message can be confusing. This has been the problem with the teaching of Kabbalah, as the ancient scientific method uses archaic language full of symbolism, and it talks about concepts that are alien to our modern mind, habits, and everything that surrounds us.

It is not easy to explain reality “from Nature’s point of view”, but this is what Kabbalists attempt. When they speak about “God”, or “Creator”, they do not mean the usual religious notions, but they speak about a Natural force, a set of laws that govern Nature.

A Kabbalist is an empirical, Natural scientist that gains access to a very unique, inner examination of Nature by changing oneself, acquiring similarity of qualities with Nature, and thus researching the system from within.

So when a Kabbalist “assumes to know the mind of God” it means that the scientists attained, understood laws that he describes, details.

While we are fiercely, proudly individualistic “creatures” from our own subjective point of view, how we inherently observe reality, from Nature’s point of view — a Kabbalist attains — we are a single species, a single entity, “organism”, which also needs to become integrated into Nature’s balances, fully integrated system as all other elements, parts, species in the system.

This is where our confusion, and most of the time apprehension, resistance comes from since there is a huge contradiction between our inherently individualistic, subjective, egocentric worldview and how “Nature views us”.

As Kabbalists explain this is purposeful from Nature’s evolution. Only through this contradiction, by attaining, harnessing the inherently individualistic, personal, subjective viewpoint on one hand and learning, attaining and harness Nature’s systemic viewpoint on the other hand can we acquire a true, complete perception of reality and by that achieve our “truly Human” degree in Nature’s system, becoming the “crown of evolution”.

This is of course a gradual, step by step process and this process works only when an individual has a great desire to explore what might be “behind the scenes”, at the part of reality we do not know, how we can make sense of our lives when things slip through our fingers, and so on. Then the interested person can go through the same, gradual, purposeful, and methodical inner changes, adjustments a Kabbalist goes through in order to attain that other, systemic worldview and full understanding of Nature and our own role in it.
