An Important and Urgent Invitation
From Samuel Ben-Or Avital
Calling the potential sparks of light to come and learn with us
the possibilities of knowing and applying the laws of the Universe,
so you can change your life in a new, unique and original way.
The door has opened and you are kindly invited to learn how to embrace perfection and ultimate happiness through "The Gathering of The Sparks" Wisdom of the Kabbalah Seminars.
This is an invitation to come explore, learn, and sense the perfection and eternity within each of us, and also the SANE BALANCED universe within all of us and without all of us. So, you are reading these words because you attracted them within your being, consciously or unconsciously.
We all know that deep within every human being, there comes a time when one really asks and pleads with deep questions. Why am I here? What is my purpose of being born and living? Am I slave to my human nature and tendencies, and did not bring me any peace until now? Does "Free Will" exist? Did I choose to be born? Did I choose my parents/guardians to help me grow?
Humanity is at a crossroads, and the situation of all humans at this time is comparable to a "drunk at the edge of the roof." Most of us are unaware of this critical situation due to our limited sphere of reality that is concerned only with the ego, with "me", while constantly neglecting the others around us. We must change our limited way of thinking or perish. We can either explore and learn the laws of how this universe works, and how I work and align harmoniously within it, or be swept into the oblivion that awaits all humans.
This work is called personal, global, and cosmic TIKKUN, means restoration, reconnecting with the source of life from where we all come and to where we all return. That source of life is called in Kabbalah AYIN - NOTHING. We come from nothing, we RETURN to nothing, but while here in this limited dimension of the world of separation and dualities, we are given maybe the last opportunity to either change our ways of limited thinking or perish.
This is a "truth" that must be faced by all humanity, but unfortunately most people are swept along by living ONLY in matter as if it is the essence while living and acting as if spirit is unimportant. With the TIKKUN we can reverse the tide of destruction and be counted among those who build rather than destroy.
Remember! life is not a mystery to be solved or analyzed; it is a reality to be experienced profoundly. We are the mystery itself who experiences life. Trying to understand this with your head is futile. When we learn from our mistakes and correct them, we are restoring our soul from the duality of "this world", and assisting the soul (Neshamah) to return to the great source of her life and being.
By virtue of learning and exploring the "hidden" dimensions of our being, our "world of duality" is attracting the light to assist us to begin changing our rigid ways of thinking into new and more pliable ways of thinking, being, and becoming. I call this genuine quality of true learning "Conscious Innocence," which is necessary to travel safely in this "Journey from Thought to Action,"the journey to return to the source of one's true self.
