Having a open and loving heart is vital to being a healer. Much of being a doctor has to do with listening and understanding people, making them feel safe, cared for, and hopeful. The art of caring, rather than just "medicine" is dying out, and you would be surprised how much of a negative health outcome that results in. They say "laughter is the best medicine" for a reason - love, compassion, a reason to live - they impact health greatly.

Hey, that's my hometown! Glad you liked it! Also, I usually work with the jewish history museum, as I am one of their main guides. Gotta say, you nailed it! Little known fact: the jewish comunity in Girona got here in 890 by order of count Dela, who took the residence of the priests and bishop of the city and gave them to the 25 jewish families who first came to the city. That's why the jewish quarter is so close to the cathedral and, yes, that would be the origin of many quarrels between the church and Girona's jewish comunity. But it also attests to the importance of sephardic communities in medieval Spain.

Teaching is a rabbinical philosophy as Jesus Christ was often referred to as Rabbi or teacher. Faith however does not require any knowledge introduced and managed by a third as it is directly know. This is a Christian concept, to reveal (apokalyptein) that which is not known, that which has been hidden (kalyptein)

Welcome to Spain, and thank you so much for introducing me/us this tradition from Girona. I am more familiarised with "Sufism" than with Kabbalah, so I didn't know that much about these origins in Girona. I wonder till what extend Kabbalah is influenced by sufism, because a lot of what you say really remind me of Sufi ideas from Al-Ándalus, very especially from Ibn Arabi. Actually I wonder till what point sufis and jewish people influenced each other in Al-Ándalus (you can see that in the architecture of the streets, so I guess that happened in their ideas too, but really don't know). Actually, if I'm not wrong, I think many of the first Kabbalists of South France were jewish immigrants from Al-Ándalus (?). I will read some of the authors you mention. Till now I associated more the Kabbalah with Leon and other parts of Castile (worth visiting when it's not too hot). For what you say, it gives me the impression that those Kabbalists of Girona were actual scholars with a lot of academic knowledge. The ones in Castile were kind of "anonymous" self-taught people who travelled a lot, and it is very hard to know about them personally, except for their work, which has a very "communal" vibe rather than individual, and with gnostic flavour. So, they are almost like ghosts, hard to grasp personally. It would be nice if some day you talk about the influences between Kabbalah and Sufism (if there are actually any). Perhaps you did it already, and sorry if that's the case. But if not, it would be really interesting! You woke in me the curiosity to dig more into this theme. Thanks!

so similar to Nondual Shaiva Tantra...intriguing...“Spanda, is a Sanskrit word meaning “divine vibration”, or pulse. This term is used to describe how Consciousness, at the subtlest level, moves in waves of contraction and expansion. Spanda, according to Kashmir Shaivism, is the creative pulse of the Absolute as it manifests into the dynamism of Relative form. It might be understood as the universal desire to manifest, like an eternal spring, joyfully over-flowing and always full.” Dyczkowski, Mark S. G. The Doctrine of Vibration.

Hello from Spain, Be sure to visit León, that Cathedral (my favourite in Spain, probably) can be a true mystical experience and it really managed to conserve the Gothic spirit in its fullness... I have not researched the topic that much, but there are some mysteries in that Cathedral which could be related to kabbalah or hermeticism. Speaking of this topic, it is quite interesting that king Philip II was very much into hermeticism and even kabbalah. As far as I know, El Escorial is also a place full of secrets and myth... The Spanish Empire, despite its mistakes, tried to be medieval and modern at the same time, which is something very interesting when one thinks about it. It was definitely opposed to all the modern burgeoise powers, concerned with material wealth and this world instead of the next one. There were mistakes, but the black legend has spread many lies as well... I am actually Catalan myself (against nationalism: because, among other things, it is clear to me that "little independent countries" is just what globalism wants) , and of great interest is also the collection of Romaneque art in the National Museum of Catalonia in Barcelona. I don't think there is anything quite like it in the world. And you must also go to Burgos... And Toledo. There are really a lot of places to see in Spain. I can definitely detect the traces of the Islamic influence in the "Isabelline Gothic" that is so typical for the beginning of the Golden Century of Spain. The Cimborrio in the Burgos Cathedral is something very unique in that sense, that is metaphysics made architecture. -- Let me mention that I think you are perhaps too "scientific" (in the modern sense of the word) with your reading of religious history. The fact that something had not been written before does not mean that it did not exist... and this seems to be specially true when it comes to esoterism. Also, maybe new forms of expression for existing ideas are "invented" by someone, in order to adapt them to more modern times or to a different mentality or culture. As for the Kabbalah, perhaps what happened, especially in the Zohar, was an attempt of systematizing those esoteric knowledges which, up to that point, had been something more intuitive and, in a sense, "fluid".

​@@majidbineshgar7156 Yes, and much more. Since I got quite a few likes I will write a bit more about Spain. Maybe people are interested. All this is very unknown by foreigners and even Spanish people. The German writers of the time loved the golden century Spain... And in a time when that Spain was mostly forgotten in Spain itself. Being Spanish , I actually discovered Baltasar Gracián thanks to Schopenhauer (!), but that is quite common... I studied philosophy at university in Barcelona and I never heard of the school of Salamanca. I found out about it on my own, a year after getting my degree. As I said, the Black Legend has done a lot of damage. Baltasar Gracián,w ho was a Jesuit priest, was not a mystic, and he represents a trend already typical in the Spain of his time (17th century), which is very rationalist. Schopenhauer's favourite novel, as it turns out, was "El Criticón". It loses a lot in translation... By the way, Schopenhauer himself , who knew Spanish, translated the famous "El oráculo manual o el arte de la produencia" by Gracián. In any case, all that philosophy, superbly written in the best Baroque style, is very focused in being wise and prudent in this life... which is so full of deception. But it has that bitter sweet sense of being mostly alone and lost and trying to find your way out of the "Maya-maze" of this world, something which often has Hindu reminiscences. Which is something quite typical in the Golden Century of Spain, with plays such as "Life is a Dream" by Calderón and many others... The main idea of the Spanish literature of the time is the "desengaño", which is about "escaping the illusions of the world". It i interesting because the Empire was so powerful, but very aware of the banality of everything... Accepting their tragic destiny. There are so many great poems by Quevedo, Lope de Vega and many others. It was a truly Christian society, with all its flaws, the "ideologues" (who are all these writers, who continued to support Spain even after being chased sometimes by the Inquisition, etc.) of this Empire were aware that this world was nothing, just a play, a dream, and it was in any case the Church what mattered, and the soul, and spiritual things in general. Even the "rationalist" (and Cervantes himself is quite a rationalist, as he mostly mocks Don Quijote) did think this - they just saw reason as being part of the "spirit". Spain is something very tragic currently,... In the sense that there is no love or knowledge at all about its greatness - in fact people are taught all the Anglosaxon lies... although the trend is changing now. People should learn about so many things like the Laws of Burgos or the fact that Spain had written many grammar books for native american languages before the English grammar had even been systematized and written.

@@martinrea8548 Yep. I am very much a "fan" of the Habsburgs, as I don't like the already modern mentality (which means absolutist) of the later French kings (although they became, at least the first of them, quite "Spanish" too). The Austrohungarian Empire, by the way, seems to me to have been the last bastion of some kind of medieval world-view in Europe. It is not at all by chance that they destroyed it completely after World War I with this petty idea of the little "nation-state" (this liberal idea that has caused so many wars). But be careful about the "Armada"... That is also part of the Black Legend. Spain lost that battle, but actually WON that war against England.

En Sof can be described as the Immortal Realm of Barbelo mentioned in the Nag Hammadi Codex in the apocalypse of Judas Iscariot. Also, while it was a dark chapter in 1490s Spain for Jews it can be noted that man we know historically as Christopher Columbus kept personal logs in Ladino. America was born of the 1492 Spanish pogrom IMO.

is it possible to make a video about Unitarian Christianity which has the same Monotheism doctrine as Judaism and Islam. it is said that it’s origins started during the reformation period but perhaps it was there from early church history but it was eclipsed by the rise of Trinitarianism after the council of Nicea.

Yes absolutely! Even with christianity there is esoteric christianity, gnostic christianity, which is containing more spiritual knowledge than "mainstream christianity". I dont know why usually the hidden versions of every religion are way wiser and appealing,

@@Agape122 I think the main difference is that mainstream religion typically focuses on worldly concerns: state power, social cohesion and control, and social and cultural parity within the community. Mystical traditions cultivate individual awareness and growth, which can actually be at odds with mundane concerns and expectations, to say nothing of state claims over the individual.

@@cognitivedissonancecamp6326 oh ok I though you would know maybe I feel such rejection for Crowley as I believe he was into very dark stuff and thought that orgies were cool and demons too. He was into things that are degrading for human beings. I stoped doing the tarot cards because I discovered they were channeled by him. But maybe it's true that he somehow had a lot of good knowledge and simply missused it.

@@Agape122 Yea, I thought you were trolling me because of your name. Kabbalah is at the center of all western esoteric traditions. There are numerous forms of kabbalistic practice - magical, mystical, practical, and so on....but like the tarot, it's just a reflective tool that we can use to our advantage to intuit how cause and effect operates and how we can endow ourselves with our higher nature while here living inside our egoic tunnel vision. If you have sense of fear or trepidation using tarot or Kabbalah, it's not a good path, as each card and sephiroth is an entity and as such have to be respected but cannot be feared or you will attract malevolent energy that feeds on fear. This why the esoteric path is shrouded in allegory, if people are not mature enough, it will destroy them playing with occult energies, the allegory keeps the fearful safe.

Wonderful! Just a note. If Kabbalah originated in Spain, the pronunciation of Kabbalah would have been with the accent on the second syllable and not the last. The pronunciation with the accent on the last syllable comes from the northern European Ashkenazi Germanic version of Hebrew, which is prevailing in Israel today. Thank you so much for this beautiful presentation. Blessings..... 🙏🌍🕊🕊

​@@e.t.ethics1771Firstly, the first revelation of islam to prophet Muhammad was at 610AD, NOT 570AD Moreover, the Quran in 2:213 states such facts, it points out that humanity was once a One nation united by religion, and that the disagreements between them and so on started when God sent revelations upon them. Islam didn't start with Muhammad, it rather started with the first human. Islam by definition is the willing submission to the ONE God. The reason why we are different religions with disagreements is all the will of God (Quran 5:48) In Quran 35:24 it mentions that all the nations tribes and cities of old all had their own designated prophet and a revelation. So by contrast to all that I have said, Noah, Abraham, moses, Jesus, Muhammad, and all prophets and messengers that have ever existed have preached the same message, anf that message in the willing submission to the ONE God, and all those disagreements, divisions, wars and the other religions happened because of human negligence to the message..

Shekhinah defined as a dwelling. This is the same concept as kelipah or "the mind and the body are worn like a garment by the soul" an approximation of quote attributed to Jesus Christ in the Nag Hammadi Codex as well as the Bhagavad Gita. It is not difficult to search for videos of a Rabbi quoting the same message.

Agakhan does a lot for humanity and is a spiritual leader but a few people on u-tube and social media’s have negative things to say about Agakhan and Ismaili beliefs. Unfortunately a lot of doubts are being created on who to pray to and much more. It would be nice to get more clarifications and who should one pray to and ask for help - would it be to Allah, Agakhan or who else. God bless for conveying your knowledge. There is so much to know and learn!!🙏🙏 Thank you.
