Where Is Jesus Christ in Kabbalah?
A question I received: The information you present to the world is fascinating. Everyone in my family is Orthodox Christian, and I’ve read the Bible and the New Testament since childhood. My question is: Where is Jesus Christ in your science? This worries me most of all, and is the only thing about your method that raises a concern.
My Answer: He’s absent, because I only base my teaching on the three main Kabbalists: Rashbi (The Book of Zohar), the Ari, and Baal HaSulam (view his available works in English). Just like any other science, Kabbalah bears no relation to any religion. It is the physics of forces that are perceived and examined through our sixth sense - the corrected desire.
In contrast, religion speaks about carrying out certain actions and rituals in our world, rather than correcting one’s egoism by means of the Upper Light. However, all religions want this action attributed to them.

Jesus has got nothing to do with an (if) empty convencional tradition, just as Moses or any prophet have got nothing to do with any jewish ritualism. Christianity is absent from kabbalah, just as any religion devoid of religious experience is devoid of meaning. The ultimate goal of kabbalah is to experience God and the underlying unity between everything. That´s religion by definition. If any religion doesn´t provide us with that experience, it´s far from being usefull.
People ask me this all the time - can you elaborate some more about our fixation with Jesus? Should people who pray and believe in Jesus stop and start studying Kabbalah?
