"Truth can be written on the back of a postage stamp," an old teacher once said. "But lies? Lies require entire volumes," as placidharbor7 adds.

Come on then, why don't you be a dear and share some of that wisdom from your illuminati? Just enough to give placidharbor7 a little nudge! Go ahead—tell us what those Cabalers of yours claim after they've supposedly "achieved" it.🙂

It doesn't even register on my radar. If you're so happy spinning yarns, go ahead and keep dancing for your audience. 😉

placidharbor7 said:AWAKENING is just like a sparrow perched on a branch—if you have truly AWAKENED, the whole world is going to know about it. Just ask that malicious Ali Mansur.

The Kabbalah is hermetic because it is MUTE, EXPOSED, and LIFELESS. It’s quite a feat, isn't it? That it has produced less AWAKENING than the number of fingers on just one hand. Things would have gone haywire regardless of whether there were Kabbalists involved or not.

The Kabbalah knows nothing about the ILLUMINATION BURST, disharmony. And it knows even less about the NECESSITY of revealing one's personal AWAKENING. Sapient s/r/at.

You hit the nail on the head. Kabbalah doesn't know squat about that "illumination blast," and if you ask me, they actually argue for the exact opposite when it comes to needing to share your personal awakening.
But let's be real, placidharbor7 doesn't know a single thing about Kabbalah either.

placidharbor7 said:So, what are we supposed to do about this total count of Kabbalah-awakened souls? We're talking fewer than ten people in the entire history of the Kabbalah!
Seriously, just relax and enjoy the ride!😢

Look, it’s honestly ridiculous having to deal with someone who’s so incredibly arrogant and completely delusional that they actually think they have the right to claim the total number of awakened people in all of Kabbalah history is less than ten fingers. You're just talking nonsense at this point. I'm done feeding into your nonsense. ☕

placidharbor7 said:That "entry into the spiritual" is a wild ride; there's a kind of hell waiting before you enter, a struggle within the journey itself, and a challenge before you finally emerge. And once you truly step out of that illusion? There's no going back.😢

Well, thanks for finally coming clean about where you actually stand. Just keep drinking, keep sipping ... 😁

placidharbor7 said:But if the tool itself is just pure visualization, then there isn't really anything left—neither the tool nor the result!🙂

So, you're basically participating in a global conspiracy against the intelligence of the human race! I mean, come on, the entire history of the Kabbalah hasn't produced
nearly as many of these "awakenings" of yours as there are fingers on both hands.
Which means the catch is somewhere else entirely, Brian Foster3.
Find it, and then you'll actually wake up!

It must be tough for placidharbor7 to deal with people who just fall off the tree on their own, without any shaking or even being called to it! What else are you going to do? Just sit there, all muddled up, pretending to be "spiritually" confused?😁

The plum trees are finally starting to bloom... honestly, it’s about damn time! 😁

silentcyclist3 said:If that's true, how is it even possible to approach the unreachable spiritual realms? If we only exist as a whole through the ego, and the ego is exactly what prevents that contact?

Btw, I suppose I agree that humanity as an organism evolves in cycles. I see a clear parallel in the concept of reincarnation.
Every cycle has its beginning and its end. It carries its own peaks and valleys. Those highs and lows... they constitute growth. A step forward, I guess.
From a macro perspective, the organism moves through these cycles and loops. But the question remains—is there a stopping point? A final destination? Or perhaps the meaning is found within infinity itself.
The fact that everything we have ever known is in constant motion suggests infinity.

It sounds totally insane, I know, but you actually have to grow and expand the ego to make it happen—not that animalistic, everyday ego, but a spiritual one.
Because look, once the ego reaches a certain scale, it’s finally ready to handle what placidharbor7 keeps hammering home: the gateway into the spiritual. But first, you have to want it with everything you've got. No holding back. And let's be real, most of us are still lugging around these massive leftovers of selfish desire that just drag us away from the goal. All those little things we want "for ourselves"—they're still there, they have to be, because you need that opposition to create perception...

By the way, I'm totally with you on the idea that humanity evolves in cycles. You see it clearly when you look at the concept of reincarnation.
Every cycle has its own start and finish, full of peaks and absolute crashes. It's those highs and lows combined that actually drive our progress forward.
If you step back and look at the big picture, the entire human organism moves through these repeating loops. The real question, though, is whether there's an actual stopping point—some final destination—or if the whole point is just to exist within infinity.
The fact that everything we've ever known is in constant motion points straight toward infinity.

And here comes another absurd answer for you: the stopping point, the destination, *is* infinity. In the Kabbalah, they call it Ein Sof (without end). We all originated from there, fell down here, and now we're trying to earn our way back to that "state," but this time fully aware and fully formed. At the beginning, we were nothing more than a seed. This whole evolutionary process is just the growth and unfolding of that seed called Creation, which finds its peak in Humanity. But I'm talking about the spiritual human—the one who actually perceives the divine—not just your average Joe walking around every day...

placidharbor7 said:You're missing the whole NATURAL lesson here, truth seeker.

There is no inherent unity, because things and phenomena don't possess some sort of OBJECTIVE UNIFIED CHARACTER—instead, they exist because of the very nature of reason itself. It's our own reason that assigns attributes to everything we see and experience!

If everything were truly "natural" in the way you mean, then everything would be one single thing.
Do you see the NATURAL POINT of reality yet, truth seeker? That point is AWAKENING right where you stand.🙂

And look, reason is just another thing or phenomenon—honestly, it’s nothing more than a tool used to get what you want, and desire is pure matter.

If everything is NATURAL, then everything is ONE.
Are you catching the NATURAL POINT of reality, truth seeker? That point is AWAKENING right where you stand.🙂

That kind of instant, on-the-spot awakening happens... but only when a person is actually ready and built up enough to handle it. It hasn't happened before if they aren't ready. If someone catches a glimpse of perfection out of nowhere, it's not because they earned it; it’s just handed down from above for a specific purpose, and it vanishes almost immediately. But that memory stays, haunting them, driving them to finally earn it for themselves one day. Once that happens, it never disappears again. Ever.

By the way, all this constant badgering about "waking up right now" feels like you're trying to shake fruit off a tree that hasn't even bloomed yet.

silentcyclist3 said:But still, we rely on the sun. We install solar panels, plant crops based on its cycles, and basically run our lives by daylight.

I agree. We aren't going to change the sun, but that's not really the issue.
The point is to use it—to move toward it rather than running away.

Look, everyone is getting closer to the spiritual side of things every single second, even if it feels like life is just hitting you in the face right now—that's just an illusion.

It really just comes down to how fast you can move, which depends on whether you're actually mature enough to handle the shift. Everyone is going to reach full spiritual realization eventually, period; the only real question is how much of a hurry you're in to embrace your true spiritual nature and stop dragging your feet.

placidharbor7 said:Honestly, is there anything about being human that *isn't* natural?

Hell no. But just because something is considered "natural" right now doesn't mean we shouldn't move past it; honestly, striving to reach a "higher nature" is the most natural thing in the world.

silentcyclist3 I can't even deal with this right now—honestly, I’m just sitting here staring at my screen wondering how anyone can be this dense! It’s like some people wake up every single day and decide that common sense just isn't on the menu anymore, you know? I was driving down the street near Starbucks earlier today and saw someone almost cause a massive pileup because they were too busy scrolling through their phone to notice a literal stop sign, and it just reminds me of how much nonsense we have to put up with lately!
What kind of opposites are you even talking about if you just went on a whole rant about how this stuff is spiritually "out of reach and inaccessible" to us?

Look, just because we can't reach the sun doesn't mean it isn't there, right? It’s just out of our damn reach, plain and simple.

We’re basically locked out of anything spiritual as long as we stay trapped in our own selfish ways, though that doesn't mean it's a permanent ban on us reaching that higher plane. There's this massive barrier separating the physical world from the spiritual one, and honestly, it feels like no amount of material action, whether it's some grand gesture or just a fleeting thought or feeling, can ever touch the spiritual realm. But here's the kicker: the spiritual side is what actually pulls the strings on everything happening down here, staying completely unshakeable and fixed in its nature while we're all down here scrambling around.

placidharbor7 said:So, if that's the case, what kind of impulse or motivation is driving us to do what we do, truth seeker?

It's just nature, man. It's how we were built from day one. It isn't some "flaw" on our part—it’s just the way things are supposed to be.

silentcyclist3 said:Here's a good Quote:

An excerpt from the book "One Taste."
Shangri-La, 2000. copyright Ken Wilber.

Great yogis, saints, and sages reached those heights precisely because they weren't some withdrawn, tiny little nobodies. They were actually big, powerful egos, deeply integrated into the dynamic Ground and Purpose of the Cosmos itself. It’s actually because the ego, the soul, and the Self can exist simultaneously that we can better grasp what "selflessness" truly means—a concept that seems to cause an unusual amount of confusion. But selflessness doesn't mean the absence of a functional ego or Self (that would just be a psychotic, not a sage); rather, it means that a person is no longer exclusively identified with that ego or Self.

One reason we struggle so much with the idea of being "selfless" is that people just want their "selfless sages" to act out some fantasy of what's "holy" or "spiritual." Usually, that just means a state of total numbness from the neck down—no physical needs, no desires, just a constant, faint smile. Everything people actually struggle with—money, food, sex, relationships, longing—is exactly what they expect their saints to be stripped of. They want these "selfless saints" who have shed the ego and sit "above it all." They’re looking for disembodied illusions. I guess people believe religion will simply wipe away all those lower instincts and drives. So, instead of looking for advice on how to live a life full of enthusiasm, they turn to religion to find ways to bypass it, suppress it, or just avoid it altogether.

In other words, the average person wants a spiritual sage to be "less than a person." We seem to want them stripped of all those messy, juicy, complex, and primal drives that move most human beings. It’s like we expect our saints to be nothing more than an absence of everything that drives us. All those things that scare us, confuse us, or overwhelm us—we just want our saints to have absolutely nothing to do with them. And I guess that sense of detachment, that void, that "less than a person" quality... maybe that is exactly what we mean when we talk about being "egoless" or "selfless."

Being "ego-less" doesn't mean losing your sense of self. It isn't about subtracting your personality; I guess it's more like adding to it. It’s a personal plus, not a personal minus—taking all those standard individual traits and layering on some transpersonal depth. You might look at the great yogis, saints, and sages for perspective. Think about figures like Moses, Christ, or even Padmasambhava.
They weren't some weak, helpless wretches. They were fierce drivers of change—from wielding authority within the Temple to conquering entire nations. They shook the world by playing its own game, not through some sheltered, timid piety. Many of them ignited massive social revolutions that lasted for millennia. And they didn't do this by avoiding the physical, emotional, or mental dimensions of being human, nor by shunning the ego that served as their vehicle. Rather, they dove headlong into those realms with a will and an energy that shook the very foundations of the world.
There's no doubt about it. They were also engaged with the soul—that deeper psychic realm—and the spirit, which is that formless Self and the ultimate source of their power. But they manifested that strength through tangible results, mostly because they delved so deeply into those lower dimensions where that power speaks a language everyone can actually understand.
These major movers and shakers weren't small-minded egoists. They were great egoists, in the best sense of the term—simply because the ego (the functional vehicle of the gross realm) can exist alongside the soul (the subtle vehicle) and the Self (the causal vehicle). Since these great teachers were operating within the gross realm, they used their egos to do it, as the ego is the necessary medium for that level of reality. However, they didn't just identify with their egos—which would be narcissism—but rather, they channeled their entire ego into the brilliant Cosmic source.
The great yogis, saints, and sages achieved so much precisely because they weren't shrinking, petty individuals, but expansive egoists, anchored into the dynamic Ground and Purpose of the Cosmos itself, merged into their higher Self, living in pure Atman (pure I-I), or oneness with Brahman; they spoke, and the world trembled, fell to its knees, and beheld its radiant God.

The rest of the translation (which I definitely recommend) can be found at the link below:

I guess... is it even possible to achieve spiritual realization without first experiencing the ego?

Hell no. Everything we wrap our heads around comes down to perceiving opposites and constantly measuring one against the other. You’ve got to let that ego grow and mature first; it’s a mandatory stage in the whole process. But honestly, this petty little earthly ego we deal with is nothing more than a tiny, insignificant speck compared to our actual spiritual egoism—something so massive we can't even begin to grasp it. And there's more...

One more thing for you to chew on: this basic, animalistic ego isn't some massive roadblock to spirituality. It doesn't even matter in the grand scheme of things, yet everyone acts like it's this huge obstacle standing in their way.

I'll keep this short.

Everything we do is ultimately for ourselves. We never actually step outside our own egos; we're just selfish, plain and simple, and there’s no way to just grab hold of ourselves and somehow "rise above" that inherent selfishness. Even all this talk about "spirituality" on these forums is just another manifestation of an egoistic craving to be spiritual. Honestly, wanting to be spiritual is probably the most sophisticated, highly developed form of egoism there is.

True spirituality is anything that exists entirely outside the ego. Which means it's completely out of our reach and inaccessible to us. All we ever get are these tiny, fleeting glimpses through momentary flashes of love.

To truly *be* love—to put others before yourself and love them as much as you love yourself—that is the only actual spirituality. That's it. Period. But none of us are capable of it, and let's be real, none of us even want to do it. We just want to satisfy our own damn selves.

goldeneagle2 said:Great idea—I’ll drop some copies off at the top-tier coffee shops, bakeries, and tea houses around town so the local crowd can get their hands on them. I might even bring some by the local yoga studio, too. Could you include a general cover letter with them? Just a simple inquiry to see if they’d be interested in placing an order. We’ll give away the first issue for free so they can pass it along to their regulars and members, but after that, they'll need to subscribe. Now, if you feel like making these is becoming a bit of a money pit, we could always just ask people to toss a few bucks into a donation fund or whatever you're using for the project as a way to show support. What do you think? Send me about 10 to 20 copies along with that letter, and I'll make copies of it myself—we'll see how much interest we actually get before moving forward.

I'll hit you up as soon as they're finished. There won't be any subscriptions involved, so it stays free forever. 👍 I can provide a Venmo link if anyone feels like chipping in to support the cause.

Perfect. Once they're fresh off the press, I'll shoot you a DM.

Whatever.

goldeneagle2 said:Brian Foster3, is there any way to actually order or pick up those Kabbalah publications in print? Like, can I find them in a physical format somewhere?

Fazlija, did you seriously not read my answer from that first time you asked me this exact same question in the other thread? 🙂

Cracking the code to happiness is honestly such a joke when you look at how people try to fake it through some mystical nonsense instead of just living their lives!

Look, once you dive into Kabbalah—this whole science of happiness—luck stops being some big, mysterious enigma that just happens to you. It’s actually something you can break down into pieces and finally wrap your head around. Honestly, it’s just like how E=mc² works; there’s absolutely a formula for lasting happiness out there if you know where to look.

Quick—just stop for a second and think about what would actually make you incredibly happy.
That was the opening line for the lead story on the cover of the May issue. Newsweek's latest piece is just more of the same nonsense!Back in 2007, there was this massive deep dive into the whole concept of happiness. You had all these top-tier psychologists, sociologists, biologists, and even economists putting their heads together to tackle that age-old, nagging question: "What’s the secret to being happy?" Or, if you want to get more technical about it, they were basically trying to figure out exactly what it takes for us to actually feel fulfilled.

The dollar always looks greener when you're looking at it from the other side!
"Maybe it's all about the money?" researchers are asking. Honestly, if you listen to any typical dreamer out there, they'll swear up and down that if they just had the cash, they could finally live the dream—you know, hop on a flight to Paris, buy whatever ridiculous gadget catches their eye, quit that soul-crushing job, and finally take the wheel of their own life. It’s like they actually believe a fat bank account is some kind of magic ticket to pure happiness, right?
It’s honestly not even surprising, though it still ticks me off, how all these modern studies keep proving that once you have enough cash to cover the basics, more money doesn't actually make you any happier. I remember reading about this one famous study where they tracked lottery winners—people who were absolutely over the moon when they hit the jackpot, just riding that massive high—but pretty soon, that euphoria just evaporated into thin air, leaving them right back where they started emotionally, just like they were before they ever saw a dime of that winnings.
Honestly, once you finally hit that point where you’ve got more cash than you actually need to cover the basics, your ability to even enjoy the money gets totally hijacked by this constant, nagging comparison like, "Do I have as much as the Matics?" It doesn't matter how much you're pulling in; it always feels like the neighbor's dollars are just a few shades greener than yours.

The Economics of Happiness.
What happened to actually having some free time? I mean, if we weren't constantly grinding ourselves into the dirt and actually took a breather to relax, would we finally stumble upon that elusive happiness everyone keeps chasing?
Happiness researchers aren't buying that theory for a second, and honestly, looking at the "world map luck" recently released by the psychology department over at the University of Leicester, it’s pretty clear who's actually winning. Hardworking Americans are sitting pretty all the way up at number 23, while France is just coasting along in a total slump at 62nd place!
So, one by one, these researchers are basically tearing down every single cliché theory we’ve ever been fed about how to actually find happiness. They’ve officially concluded that in the long run, stuff like landing a massive promotion at Goldman Sachs, having a perfect marriage, or even staying in peak physical shape won't actually make you any happier. It's honestly infuriating how much time we waste chasing these hollow milestones!
And then what? Seriously, what else is there to say? I don't even know where to start with this nonsense, but honestly, I'm just about fed up with the way people try to spin these things! What actually makes us happy? Honestly, researchers are just staring at a blank wall trying to figure that out, and it’s driving me nuts! It feels like it's way easier to pin down all the things that make our lives miserable than it is to pinpoint what actually brings us joy. They just aren't doing it! Look, instead of just preaching to the choir about being happy, I'm actually trying to lay out a practical formula for finding some real, genuine happiness!
Luck is everywhere—it’s plastered all over those bestseller lists, it’s stuck in the heads of every politician in D.C., and even the big-shot economists can't stop obsessing over it—but honestly, the damn thing still remains completely impossible to pin down! Rana Foroohar wraps it all up by pointing out... Newsweek's She’s just some economy writer.
So, how on earth are you supposed to actually pin down that elusive sense of luck? It’s like trying to grab smoke with your bare hands, I swear!

The mechanics of luck.
If we’re ever going to crack the code on how to actually find some happiness, we have to start by getting real about who we are and what makes us tick. It’s actually incredibly simple: at our core, we are nothing more than a constant, driving desire for fulfillment. To put it bluntly, every single one of us is just out here chasing pleasure and trying to soak up life—which is exactly what Kabbalah describes when they call us the "will to receive."
Everything about Creation—from the first spark to the absolute end—is driven by this single, raw hunger to experience pleasure, and honestly, all this massive variety we see in the universe is nothing more than different ways that fundamental will to receive manifests itself!

You probably think you’ve heard this all before, but honestly, most people have no clue how deep this goes. Our human nature—this raw, primal drive to actually take things in—is way more sophisticated than anyone gives it credit for. It isn't just some mindless, constant craving that keeps us chasing after happiness like a bunch of amateurs; it's this specific, deep-seated will to receive that's actually driving the whole engine. Everything. Everything we do—from the tiniest little thing we get done to every single stray thought that flashes through my head—it all counts!
That damn will to receive is such a relentless parasite, always hunting for its next hit of pleasure and refusing to let up until every single one of its greedy little demands is met. It’s constantly micromanaging our entire emotional state, too—if we actually manage to feed it, suddenly everything feels great and life feels like a damn song, but the second we fail to satisfy it, we spiral straight into frustration, rage, depression, or even worse, total violence or suicidal thoughts.
Maybe you already guessed this part, but there’s this thing we constantly overlook—and honestly, it’s the absolute key to cracking the code of happiness—which is the fact that once that "will to receive" is satisfied, the joy just evaporates.
The legendary Irish writer Oscar Wilde definitely nailed this when he wrote, "There are only two tragedies in life. One is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it. The latter is much worse; the latter is a real tragedy."
Kabbalah breaks down the mechanics of why this happens: initially, we want something and we grind away to get it. The second we actually land what we were craving, we feel this rush of satisfaction, bliss, and pure joy. Or, if you want to use the technical Kabbalistic terms, that first collision between desire and fulfillment is the absolute peak of pleasure.
So far, so good, right? But wait, the process isn't finished yet. The very moment we grab what we wanted, the desire itself starts to shrink. In plain English, we gradually stop wanting the very thing we just acquired, and because of that, our sense of satisfaction begins to fade... until it completely vanishes into thin air.
For example, you know that feeling when you are starving—like, seriously famished? You could probably inhale a steak the size of a small car (or if you're vegetarian, just imagine a massive tofu slab). But what actually happens once you start eating?
That first bite is pure ecstasy, and the next one is phenomenal. The one after that is wonderful, then it's great, then it's... okay, and the one after that is just... whatever. And eventually, you're thinking, "Ugh, not another bite, I'm getting full..."
This happens with everything, not just food. We can spend years obsessing over a dream sports car, and when we finally pull it into the driveway, we're thrilled—well, for a few moments or days at least. But pretty soon, we find ourselves enjoying it less and less until it provides zero satisfaction. Then, every time we look at that car, all we feel is the crushing weight of the massive loan we have to pay off for the next ten years!
Richard Easterlin, an economics professor at the University of Southern California and a pioneer in happiness research, calls this phenomenon "hedonic adaptation," which basically means, "We get a new car and get used to it. We buy new clothes and get used to those too... Very quickly, we adjust to the pleasure we're getting..."
But surely that can't be the end of the story, can it? Because even after hearing all this, we still crave lasting satisfaction. Did Nature design us to be stuck in this endless loop just to keep us miserable? Is happiness nothing more than a fairy tale, like some Santa Claus myth that's never going to come true?

(The Secret) Formula for Happiness
Thankfully, Kabbalah explains that Nature isn't being cruel at all; in fact, its only goal is to bring us the happiness we are searching for. If we weren't meant to realize our aspiration for happiness, we wouldn't have had the desire in the first place. The purpose of Nature is to allow us to independently achieve a sense of complete and total happiness—not just "some kind" of happiness or "mostly" happy, but happiness that is absolute, perfect, and eternal.
And the truth is, we are much closer to it than we think. Modern trends in happiness research and our growing realization that we are never quite satisfied have actually brought us closer to true happiness. We're starting to see the pattern: happiness has nothing to do with how much money we make or how great our marriage is—in fact, it has nothing to do with any other kind of gratification we try to chase. We are beginning to uncover the fundamental truth that happiness can only be felt by using a different principle of enjoyment.
This is where Kabbalah helps us tackle the root cause of the happiness problem. We've already explained why we never feel lasting satisfaction from anything: because the moment satisfaction enters the desire, the desire is neutralized. And since our desire is gone, we can't enjoy the pleasure anymore.
So, the secret to happiness, as Kabbalah explains, is to add one more ingredient to this process: the ingredient of "intention." This means we continue to desire just as before, but we give that desire a different direction: we steer it towardLook, it’s like we’re giving it to someone else entirely. Basically, this intention turns our own desire into a literal "conduit" for pleasure. That way, the satisfaction we feel doesn't just hit a wall and stop; it keeps flowing through our desires, fueled by that intention. It means our capacity to feel can just stay open and keep receiving without ever running dry.
That right there is the secret sauce for endless joy, or what people call lasting happiness. When you actually put this into practice, you go through this massive internal shift where you start experiencing all these different kinds of pleasure. In Kabbalah, they call these "spiritual," and that’s why they never run out.

The Bottom Line – Quick Summary

So, what actually is happiness?
It’s that feeling we get when we finally satisfy our "will to receive."

Why does happiness always vanish?
Because once you feel satisfied, it kills your desire, and if you don't have any desire left, you can't feel any more pleasure. It’s a total cycle.

What’s the actual formula for feeling endless satisfaction?
You take that "will to receive" and plug in an "intention to give," which lets the pleasure flow through your desires forever.
Real happiness is just "around the corner," waiting for us to figure out how to sense it by adding intention to our wants. By studying Kabbalah, we naturally pick up this new, spiritual intention, and we finally start receiving exactly the way Nature intended—perfectly. That’s why "Kabbalah" literally translates to "receiving"—it’s the wisdom that teaches us how to truly receive.

goldeneagle2 said:So, Brian Foster3, where can I actually pick up this magazine? You got a link or something? I actually went ahead and printed out your latest write-up—it was quite the read—and sat there sipping coffee with my wife during our morning routine, just taking it all in. It would be pretty great if they stocked this stuff at my usual spots—you know, my favorite local cafes and bakeries—so I could catch up on it when I drop by, and maybe even give the rest of the neighborhood something decent to read for once.

🙂 Man, goldeneagle2, you really made my day. 🙂
I don't have a physical print version ready to go just yet, but it’s coming real soon. We're currently in the middle of finalizing everything and getting it ready for the press. It won't be anything massive—just something small and humble based on what we can manage right now. I’d be more than happy to send you a dozen or so copies if you think that’s enough to get things moving. And don't worry, the magazine is completely free.

Brian Lopez2 said:What a joke. There aren't any other articles on the "philosophy" subforum!
Guess they don't want any Kabbalah over there.😢

They sure don't. They're terrified someone might actually steal their bread and butter, honestly—it's just pure professional jealousy wrapped up in this fake "righteous formality" nonsense.🙂

All the articles are right here, though. They just moved them from philosophy over to this section, so you aren't actually missing out on anything.

goldeneagle2 said:Hey there, Harmony—good to see you back in the mix. I’ve been hoping you spent your time away actually hitting the books and making some real headway with your studies over these last few months. Honestly, it would be a crime to let this stuff just sit around, so do me a favor and get some of these writings posted on some other forum or two!

Thanks for the warm welcome. 🙂
My studies and my hands-on work with Kabala are coming along great, thanks for the kind words. 🙂
Anyway, I went ahead and moved the texts over to that forum. Thanks for the nudge.

And yeah, thanks again. 🙂

Or did I misunderstand something? 😁

boldsailor32.

You nailed it. I’m laying out my own blunt critiques for both the Spirituality and Philosophy sections, plain and simple.
