Discovering Life's Cause

Posted by Mark Zimmerman Sep 10, 2007

The main problem with our existence in this world is that we do not perceive where we came from and where we are headed. If we could perceive this, we would receive a whole new attitude. We would live in a whole new dimension; with perception and understanding of our life's cause. For this reason, Kabbalists state that the purpose of our existence in this world is to achieve this perception and contact with our life's cause.

According to Kabbalah, discovering our life's cause will make our lives easier and happier. We can always return to this perception after we have achieved it, exploring it further, and learning from it in order to arrange our lives optimally.

Kabbalists refer to such study as "one's soul shall teach one." In other words, one learns and perceives from within one's soul. This perception teaches one how to progress in life. Until this perception is achieved, one needs to work within environmental conditions that will influence and guide one's building of one's soul. These environmental conditions consist of:

• a Kabbalist teacher - who has already achieved this level of perception,

• a group of students - with a common desire to achieve this perception, and

• books of Kabbalists - who founded the method for the achievement of this perception.
