ParanoidMysticThu, Apr 3, 2008 I really enjoyed the short film and the Kabbalah site it leads to. Obvious either didn't watch the film - or more likely didn't believe the film's claim ;) - that true Kabbalah is divorced from religion.
In my opinion, this sort of exploration is critical for a community such as ours. Not understanding consciousness is not an acceptable alternative, especially as we endeavor to create silicon beings in whom we might one day accidentally infuse with that light which inexplicably shines in us.
Nothing should be banished. What thought is not welcome? Let's talk it out.
Is there not some thing in me which strives to reach some thing in you, yet is trapped within the box of the senses, continually looping in the karmic cycle with little relief? There is. As we approach the universal "namaste" awareness, the quality of our existence changes.
For me the best part of the film was discussion of the higher dimensions, in which physical distance has no meaning and things are close or distant based on their qualities of form. Insight into the higher dimensions has taken on an important role in my life lately (been reading a lot of Steiner) and for me this truth resonates strongly.
Like it says in the tao te ching, "without going out of my door, I can know the ways of heaven." If any one of us sits at a piano and learns to play, even on our own with no guidance, we have on some level for which there is little vocabulary, brought ourselves "closer" in quality to every other musician in the past and future.
There is a place where time and space are not. If we intend to cover the vast territories of physical space, we have got to get hip.
