Relaxation is beneficial, but spirituality is the opposite of our nature. Our natural state is egoistic, a desire to exploit everything and everyone around us for our own benefit. Spirituality is not about finding peace within ourselves but rather about transforming our egoistic nature into one of giving.<\/p><p>Currently, we want to take everything for ourselves. In spirituality, we want to give to the world with all our might. This shift is not about calming down, slowing our desires, or wanting nothing, as some who meditate aim to do. Instead, spirituality is about actively transforming ourselves from selfish receivers to bestowers.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-603b275a e-con-full

A meditating person reduces their desires, worries less, and consumes less, but this does not mean they have achieved spirituality.<\/p><p>In fact, such a person begins to resemble an animal rather than a spiritually developed human being. Animals live with minimal desires. They do not strive for more than their basic needs. Similarly, a meditating person, by reducing their needs, might feel calm but ultimately declines in their level of development.<\/p><p>However, given the state of the world today with desires running rampant throughout societies, could it not be better if everyone just relaxed and took less from the system? Would that not bring peace to both the individual and the world?<\/p><p>The problem is that this approach is against human evolution and nature\u2019s program.

Our egos expand over time, and this expansion of our egoistic desires is specifically what differentiates us as humans from animals.

However, what they actually achieve is relaxation and an altered state of perception within the egoistic nature.

There are simply variations of the same self-centered existence.<\/p><p>If we were indeed connected to a universal oneness, we would already perceive it. But we do not. The reality is that we are separate, self-contained beings, disconnected from spirituality. We thus take such a state as our starting point. We recognize the truth that we are not naturally connected to any higher spiritual force as a necessary first step. Then, we can begin to seek a real method for transformation, one that does not suppress the ego but instead directs it toward a much more expansive, eternal, and whole existence that is outside the ego. That is when we need the method of Kabbalah, a method for transforming our intention upon our desire from one of reception to one of giving, and by doing so, discovering the spiritual reality that exists when we equalize our intention with the spiritual quality of giving.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a151255 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a151255\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"375\" height=\"458\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kabbalah.info\/en\/app\/uploads\/2025\/03\/spirituality-img-mobile.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-5038\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kabbalah.info\/en\/app\/uploads\/2025\/03\/spirituality-img-mobile.webp 375w, https:\/\/www.kabbalah.info\/en\/app\/uploads\/2025\/03\/spirituality-img-mobile-246x300.webp 246w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e31bd9d e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"e31bd9d\" data-element_type=\"container\" id=\"role\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6fc2b87 elementor-absolute elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6fc2b87\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_position&quot;:&quot;absolute&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"375\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kabbalah.info\/en\/app\/uploads\/2025\/03\/brief-mobile-bg.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-4962\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kabbalah.info\/en\/app\/uploads\/2025\/03\/brief-mobile-bg.png 375w, https:\/\/www.kabbalah.info\/en\/app\/uploads\/2025\/03\/brief-mobile-bg-220x300.png 220w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b230087 elementor-absolute elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b230087\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_position&quot;:&quot;absolute&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1149\" height=\"1342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kabbalah.info\/en\/app\/uploads\/2025\/03\/brief-sefira.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-4841\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kabbalah.info\/en\/app\/uploads\/2025\/03\/brief-sefira.png 1149w, https:\/\/www.kabbalah.info\/en\/app\/uploads\/2025\/03\/brief-sefira-257x300.png 257w, https:\/\/www.kabbalah.info\/en\/app\/uploads\/2025\/03\/brief-sefira-877x1024.png 877w, https:\/\/www.kabbalah.info\/en\/app\/uploads\/2025\/03\/brief-sefira-768x897.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1149px) 100vw, 1149px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5f5f950 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"5f5f950\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-78d94b2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"78d94b2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Role of Connection \nin Kabbalah<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-909a336 p-0 p-gaps elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"909a336\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>When we apply ourselves to the method of Kabbalah and to making the change of our intention from egoistic to altruistic, we encounter the need for various means. The first means is the texts themselves that describe the wisdom of Kabbalah and which introduce us to its fundamental principles and basic concepts. We then usually encounter a Kabbalist teacher: a person who has achieved that shift in intention, attained spirituality, and who can guide their students in taking the optimal steps to undergo the process of transformation that the method of Kabbalah describes.<\/p><p>The third means for spiritual progress in Kabbalah is a Kabbalistic group. The group serves as a practical tool for developing the quality of bestowal. Instead of meditating alone, Kabbalists work in groups to overcome their egoistic nature, learning to love and to bestow upon others.<\/p><p>The group is a key difference between Kabbalah and meditation in that the work with the group makes us face our ego &#8220;head on,&#8221; so to speak, instead of suppressing it. The more we advance in Kabbalah, the more we find realistic means for exercising the transformation in intention\u2014from receiving to giving\u2014that Kabbalah describes. Within the group setting, we cannot kid ourselves into thinking that we are somewhat &#8220;spiritual&#8221; and that we hold &#8220;special intentions&#8221; and &#8220;special connections&#8221; to spirituality. Rather, we gain a much clearer mirror to see how we relate to people around us, and we can then apply ourselves to work on our intention to give in a practical setting through our relationship with others in our group.<\/p><p>In other words, instead of detaching from society, in Kabbalah we see the necessity of living as part of a society and we learn how to navigate the desire to receive within complex social relations to add an intention to give and to bestow upon our innate egoistic matter.

Here is one such text by Kabbalist Yehuda Ashlag (Baal HaSulam), which lets us clarify the positioning of our thoughts and desires, and how we work with them:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bab2d2d e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"bab2d2d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5596054 p-0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5596054\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u201cA thought is an upshot of the desire. A person thinks of what he wants, and does not think of what he does not want. For example, a person never thinks of his dying day. On the contrary, he will always contemplate his eternity, since this is what he wants. Thus, one always thinks of what is desirable for him.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d8defd6 p-0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d8defd6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u201cHowever, there is a special role to the thought: it intensifies the desire. The desire remains in its place; it does not have the strength to expand and perform its action. Yet, because one thinks and contemplates on a matter, and the desire asks of the thought to provide some counsel and advice to carry out the desire, the desire thus grows, expands and performs its actual work.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dea829e p-0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"dea829e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>It turns out that the thought serves the desire, and the desire is the \u201cself\u201d of the person.

But while desire remains unchanged, thought has a role to intensify and expand the desire by the work of thinking and contemplating on a certain matter. The desire then uses the thought similar to a computer in order to help it calculate how it can achieve its wants and needs. Accordingly, the desire is our &#8220;self&#8221; and the thought serves our desire.<\/p><p>Kabbalists thus provide us with the means of the Kabbalistic texts, teachers, and a group precisely in order to create an environment by which we can shift from, as Baal HaSulam writes, a &#8220;small self&#8221; to a &#8220;great self.&#8221; A &#8220;small self&#8221; is one in which our desires remain as small corporeal desires for food, sex, family, money, honor, control, and knowledge; and a &#8220;great self&#8221; is one where we rise above our corporeal desires and discover the eternal and whole spiritual quality of giving through the intention to give.<\/p><p>Working with these means at our disposal, we can &#8220;persist with the thought of the desire&#8221; of the &#8220;great self,&#8221; i.e., of the spiritual desire to give, and thus let our thought grow our desire. This &#8220;persistence&#8221; in thought, the constant renewal of efforts to apply an intention to give upon our innate desire to receive, thus describe &#8220;in His law doth he meditate day and night.&#8221; That is, we persist in applying ourselves to the altruistic spiritual law and by doing so, we can develop an altruistic-spiritual intention to give upon our desire to receive.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f465ec0 elementor-hidden-desktop e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"f465ec0\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3c362f03 elementor-absolute elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"3c362f03\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_position&quot;:&quot;absolute&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"151\" height=\"129\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kabbalah.info\/en\/app\/uploads\/2024\/12\/related-sketch.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1133\" alt=\"Arrow pointing upward above a semicircle.\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4ee7433f e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"4ee7433f\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55df413a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"55df413a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Related articles<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d02f977 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"d02f977\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9037b5f related-link elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9037b5f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kabbalah.info\/eng\/content\/view\/full\/27679\" target=\"_blank\">The Science of Kabbalah<\/a><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7bfff87 related-link elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7bfff87\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kabbalah.info\/eng\/content\/view\/full\/60194\" target=\"_blank\">Kabbalah With Anything<\/a><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a36d649 related-link elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a36d649\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kabbalah.info\/eng\/content\/view\/full\/38876\" target=\"_blank\">The Nature of Matter<\/a><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2f195be related-link elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2f195be\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kabbalah.info\/eng\/content\/view\/full\/85981\" target=\"_blank\">Kabbalah Is Not Mysticism<\/a><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a247765 related-link elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a247765\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kabbalah.info\/eng\/content\/view\/full\/25243\" target=\"_blank\">Kabbalah as a Modern Science<\/a><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is There Meditation in Kabbalah?
