Kabbalah: An Ancient Way To Fulfill Your Potenial

According to the Kabbalah, the divine realm needs human action to make the world fulfill its potential. Without us, God is incomplete. In return, it is up to us to ponder the mysteries of God and creation.

In other words, fulfillment of the self is only achieved through greater knowledge of God.

Kabbalist Moses de Leon observed: “How precious it is to know that God generates all of existence. From one bit of existence, the soul can perceive the existence of God, which has neither beginning nor end.”

By frequently thinking of the vastness of God, one is humbled, and becomes merely a vehicle for divine expression.

Dov Baer, an 18th century Hasidic master, said: “If you think of yourself as something, then God cannot clothe himself in you, for God is infinite.”

Fulfillment of all our potentialities can only come about through a “cleaving to God” says Daniel Matt in The Essential Kabbalah. Moses de Leon held that the soul takes on human form because it is not complete and needs to be fulfilled “in all dimensions”.

Our lives on earth are about fulfillment of a purpose that God has intended, and the Kabbalah provides the path to self-knowledge that is required to discover this purpose.

Abraham Isaac Kook: “All the troubles of the world, especially spiritual troubles such as impatience, hopelessness, and despair, derive from the failure to see the grandeur of God clearly.”

...The purpose of the soul entering this body is to display her powers and actions in this world, for she needs an instrument. By descending to this world, she increases the flow of her power to guide the human being through the world."
