kabballah

I have trouble reading books about kabbalism. When I here someone talking special holidays and about their importance if one is to live a spiritual life, all i can think of is cultural egotism and the stagnated following of tradition. It is difficult to filter out the cultural, egotistical bullshit and keep the positive aspects of kabballah, but I believe there is so much wisdom hidden between the ego shit that it is a worthy pursuit.
People tend to hang onto tradition and fail to see the true nature of things. They interpret the spirit based around their culture and past. I wish they would be able to see that their culture and interpretation system, with all its holy days and rules, is not as important as the spirit itself.


Filter the book, take what is useful, discard what is useless.

sharing, giving

If you do your good deeds for all to see, seeking to look like a good person to others, it somehow takes away from the good deed that you have done. Many do their good deeds in secret and they do so simply to give, not the selfish desire to be looked upon as good by others. Beware of those who dance around and parade their religion, they are only seeking recognition and power over others. It is not true giving from the source if you are concerned with how others view you.
