the Kabbalah i believe is a formula to connect us with our creator. people need guidance to connect to the oneness. we are all interwoven. a grand merci unto you for sharing this wisdom!
I truly believe that in order to understand Kabbalah, you have to be ready and have the desire to change and understad your exsistence from a different perspective. I don't see anything wrong in looking for a better way to connect to ourselves and the creator.
I relate totally. I had an OBE several months ago and I was surrounded by 'nothing' it was white light with several coloured energies - it was what I can describe as heaven - I heard the most amazing music and was relaxed more than I was ever before - I was complete.
I wish this guy could be my teacher, or had classes in NYC. I would so attend them because he explains Kabbalah and spirituality in a way that is so easy, that it then makes me want to keep learning, but only from him. hehehe
Kabbalah teaches us to feel and fully know both the how and why of the greater reality, not with our five physical senses, but by developing a new higher sense.
i appreciate the wisdom. Unfortunatly other are so confused and closed minded that this falls on deaf ears. Just watch, ponder and think with an open mind and you will believe what is best, what you want to and what will help you.
My first impression of Kabbalah was that it was it was strange, obscure, and used weird terminology. But the more I learn about it the more sense it makes...all altruistic revolutionary and religious movements have fallen short of producing a truly happy and cooperative society. Kabbalah illuminates the root cause of the problem and provides a method to achieving what all other movements could not.
I can't speak for the author, but I am a Kabbalist. We don't necessarily reject alternative views...Rather, when the game is changing your perceptions, you have to take something and run with it. Why? We have defined our perceptions as limited in the first place, so we must also admit our inability to perceive the correctness of Kabbalah or any other like system from our limited perspective. So it takes a leap of faith to get into anything like this, but I find its worth it.
To ARIfilms,,i am so grateful for these marvelous, clearly presented videos of Truth. They have meant a great deal to me on this journey. Your channel has helped to take this Irish Catholic (schooled my nuns ) away from sad, silly dogmas, to a Realm of Truth and Love that feels like home- what I have always deeply known. Sincere Thanks.
...until you need something else. That's all I'm sayin'. I have appreciated having these good exchanges with you :) There is nothing here that puts down anyone else's state of mind. It's all part of the whole.
I watched this video years ago and it's still super amazing. I just found it again to share with friends who are curious! Awesome video. Thank you again.
this vedio clip inspired me tremendously 12 years ago，and through it.i find a gate open for me a wonderful life changing journey! thanksTony for your unbelievable job!
@Tyrfingr i completely agree with you. previous to doing mushrooms, for as long as i can remember, ive always known that there must be something else than the physical world, but i could never explain it. But after the experience, i began to feel its existence. it was no longer a theory of hope; it became a fact of reality to me. but i still do not understand it cus i'm having so much trouble with breaking that barrier of accepting that everything i thought i know about reality is an illusinon
The begining is quite apt, showing Descartes to Know-Nothings in an understandable way. However, as long as it casts doubts and asks questions, it is good. But when it tries to construct some new "true reality", it is arbitrary and ignores the very fact it presented before: That we can't know anything because we are seperated from the world by our senses, perception, subjectivity, motives, biography, culture, it's all a random dance, there is no truth but what you make your personal truth.
I'm completely into this Kabblah, Philosophy stuff. I've been a philosopher for about 2 years now. I don't believe in a god but I'm not an atheist. I'm a Psion. I'm into TK, PK, Psi, Chakra, Qi/Ki/Chi stuff that most humans doubt the existence of. But what's your view on all that? Please respong soon!
Thank you for sharing everything! It has helped beyond measure with a lot of things. I desire with a different approach in life because of understanding our senses, and I love to love :)
WOW, interesting! I am an activist and purpose is often the gray area between black and white. A sense of justice leads me, but Ego plays a part! Once you become good at what you do, based on results, to achieve more of the same, the addiction sets in. Along the way, I hope I do good, but that is a mirror of whom I hang out with. fincenMIB
well... what he says is right... but you can get there, with or without kabbalah... tho it´s true that desinformation and misguidance are the norm in global culture and it is wise to hear words from wisdom from wherever they come from. thanks for sharing.
@laurentperron1 I grant that mushrooms have proven to be a shortcut to becoming disillusioned and percieving reality in a new light. Shortcuts for some people can be dangerous though. Matrix explained that very well i think. I took the long way in search for truth and knowledge. It is painful having to disbelieve what you previously had been taught and known, that was more comfortable and promising. To really see the reality for what it is, takes alot of strenght to endure living in.
@masoncraftdesign Very True. This gives understanding to what the Bible teaches. This is what Jesus always talked about... and people still don't grasp it today! That is what religion has created. Blind eyes and deaf ears, what was Jesus always healing? blindness and deafness. great stuff here.
@Tyrfingr Desires are essential for us to live.Without satisfying them life will be torment.But as before the intention behind the desires is what matters.It doesn't really matters what you do but the backed intention.If we start receiving pleasure in order to give the fulfillment will be infinite.Because the pleasure of giving is way stronger than that to receive only for the self.That's the Kaballah essence by the way.It is different from yoga,new age etc because it opposes restraint.
I would argue that ultimate reality can only reveal itself to us. We are dependent upon it coming to us, we cannot reach it. To say that there is something inside of us to obtain it is another form of 'egoism', and is contradictory to saying that we cannot know true reality inside 'the box.' So if ultimate reality does reveal itself then it must give a testimony that is beyond human rationality, yet makes sense of it all.
@bloomcry I tend to be detached from desires, thoughts and fears alot. Because i question why i should be afraid if that occurs, or the necessities of any desires. I used to have desire for partying in the past, but it never grow into ridiceleous lengths, and at some point in time i realized the absurdity in wasting money buying a hang over and a blank memory. Being sober, engaging in good conversation, reading, nature, attending a classical concerto things of that sort seems far more rewarding.
It is more saying that you are apart of the entire whole. . . (After all, our atoms are made of the same stuff that came from the Big Bang) and that your conscious split formed by ego is what prevents you from actually connecting back to it on your own, and being in physical harmony with it. in essence, it is a way to make peace with yourself and your situation, have confidence in what you feel, and provide you a purpose and understanding of why and how you should do it.
if u look at Tony's video about the difference between Kabbalah and religion, u'll c Buddhism hold all his criteria of being non-religion, especially not requiring u to being anything u don't experience. But what is religion is just a matter of definition.
i can only tell u what is not "ego" at least in my definition. in one video, tony talks about expanding desire from one's need to the need of others and oneself all together. what is not ego to me is this expanded id. if A defines this as ego but B doesn't, then A can't accuse B of suppressing the ego, bcoz they are not talking about the same thing.
like today at work i was just looking at my hands realizing that its REAL but its weird to think of how we are real. its just really odd to think about it. sometimes i think this world was created for me and others just act according to the way i think and the person i have become. not that i really think this is true but its just an interesting concept. i believe because of this unknown feeling that there is a god that likes watching us discover this reality.
Or maybe you''re just blowing smoke up your own ass? Thinking that you are special leads to places just like this to confirm your speciality. You are not special. Not even sort of. Just because you can self reflect only means that you can self reflect and nothing more. Don't church it up.
I graduated with an undergraduate degree in Philosophy from the University of Texas and I'm completely with your logic, but when you inject Kabbalah as a means to understand reality you are making the assumption that it is correct without demonstrably refuting queries into alternative varients of understanding hidden reality
@Tyrfingr I dont think the intention of this video was to "teach" anything. I think it was meant to help guide people into the right direction for what they are looking for. For example, I've known for as long as i can remember that there must be more to reality than just the physical world. I had a very basic and vague idea of what could be a "spiritual world" but i could not put it into words. this video really helped me piece things together in my mind, although it didn't teach me anything
Spirituality and religion have some common ideas. Religion tends to be structured and therefore imposes limitation. Spirituality is all inclusive like it's source which "knows" no limits. The idea is employ a proper use of judgement, by judging the limited idea of self (the box, the ego, or whatever you want to call it) so that it can be discarded as valueless.
@unshakenpeace You should keep doing what you are doing because you are so happy as we can see. Or you could come and see what us crazy people are actually seeing. If Jesus came back looking different would you know him? How would you know him? By what standard? I would know him by his action through his equivalence of form.
it is called an implicative understanding through a direct relationship between the objective and subjective world. Those who have subjectively gone through the implicative experience have seen proof enough. Fortunately, it is not something that can be tested and trialed out.
There is a Two in our perception of reality. The reality behind reality is the gap found when work and sex annhilate each other in our lives. Then we see the portrait is washed of its colours and the canvass is revealed to us to invite us to paint a better reality upon it. See: Journey to Ixtlan, Carlos's "stopping the world". However, we need to search diligently for the truth, because just a combination of crude work and sex is not enough. Or consider we divide our attention between Two.
1. i'm saying u'r quoting and comparing it to kabbalah with noting difference in definitions of concepts (especially of ego, again) in the two systems. 2. chi-kung is a practice mainly for the body, while the two systems are more about spirituality. people who learn chi-kung need many years of practice b4 they can do any chikung stunts, so that they can have any conclusion. 3.i agree reality can be revealed by oneself.that's is the very reason we shouldn't judge other systems,like Laitman does
"whats reality without your perception or existence?" Reality IS. With or without me, with or without you. Your desire for rejection of ego does not lead to 'enlightenment'. Reality doesn't let it because that's not how reality works. Try rejecting your ego on a desert island and see how long the reality of weather and starvation take to convince you that you are on the wrong path. A 'changed' perception doesn't feed you.
I like studying subjects like perception, reality and consciousness but the second it starts to correlate with religious beliefs it makes me pull back a bit because it can’t be under control of epistemology which is against scientific principles
You ought to explain what you hold as evidence that someone is doing better. Have you made up your mind about this subject matter just from watching this video and reading these comments? If so I hope to just let this wash through as happenis in all these forums. but I will say that the first time I saw a video showing this, it felt special to me. You really can't know from inside my mind. I was looking for a way to stop relying on my 5 senses to find something to give me a happy feeling.
@bloomcry I would agree on that Kaballistic viewpoint, and i think i have read about it before somewhere out of curiousity when i first heard about the order of the golden dawn where it was referenced. My point wasen't to live in total restraint. Just to be aware of the desires and not act on them as they appear by impulse, but to first be aware of consequences and potential harm that may follow from acting on them. Otherwise one might turn out to become an unaware addict or evil.
@bloomcry I just tend to back away from spiritual talk because it is so individual. The experience you had at the moment is something that can't be shared with anyone, altough many people can relate to simillar things, almost exactly even. And i can imagine that the experience is such that one wish the same for everyone in the hope that it would bring about some revelation and change to the masses. I rely on philosophy and truth from reasoning because it leads to what we can all agree on.
This video had a strange effect on me. I felt like I was really in the box and wanted to get out. Have you seen a bird who was caught in a cage first time. World was like a fake. I never felt so scared in my life. Death seemed to be a way out of this cage. It is not a negative reflection on this video however I feel that some knowledge shuld be revealed gradually. May be I am not ready to handle such reality yet. Or is there a procedure to handle such a situation that I felt I was in?
The box is also a perception, through what senses do the sense sense themselves? They are also as is everything a projection of consciousness. There is no "out there" apart from these projections.
We Muslims Bear Witness of Four Holy Scriptures , We Bear witness of the lord , We Bear Witness of his prophets , We Bear Witness of Angels & We Bear Witness of Death and Afterlife ,We Bear Witness of Heavens and Hells ................................................ALHAMDULILLAH :)
@Tyrfingr That is exactly the point.To retain and use only those who have the potential to be altruistic.Because this is the way to begin living in harmony with all that surround us.By the way,to get info about the authentic kabbalah please check ARI site kabbalah.info and if you get intrested , Michael Laitman books are great to begin with.Peace!
Mr. Mincer Makes a point. But ultimately the greater reality is whatever we want it to be. We create such a place, whether it exists or not, if we tell ourselves it exists then it must exist. Overall, it's useless. IM NIHILIST!
@laurentperron1 "We are in fact convinced that if we are ever to have pure knowledge of anything, we must get rid of the body and contemplate things by themselves with the soul by itself. It seems, to judge from the argument, that the wisdom which we desire and upon which we profess to have set our hearts will be attainable only when we are dead and not in our lifetime." - Socrates
Reality is everything, we perceive reality through an interpretation of electrical impulses by the brain. This raises important questions of heaven, hell, and God. Just because you can't perceive those things doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Just because God is all in your head doesn't make it any less real. If God is just a series of chemicals produced by your brain, that means that God is as real as you reading this comment, as real as you seeing yourself in a mirror.
Right, or said another way, subjective reality is the only reality we experience. While other realties my exist, we cannot experience them. Therefore this reality, this subjective reality, is the only reality.

I have been trying to define enlightenment for a long time now .. and this video has just made something more clearer ..
One of the best videos I have ever seen in my entire life. Hungry for more wisdom.
This is one of my favorite videos on youtube....
A NEW WAY OF EXPLANATION !! I LIKE IT !!!
I watched this video years ago and it's still super amazing. I just found it again to share with friends who are curious! Awesome video. Thank you again.
This is WONDERFUL ! WOW!
this vedio clip inspired me tremendously 12 years ago，and through it.i find a gate open for me a wonderful life changing journey! thanksTony for your unbelievable job!
great work! thank you for opening new doors to the people.
namaste
I felt like an answer was opened up for me.
Well...the information that I get from them really rings and resounds with me...and it has been totally FREE ! It`s PHYSICS !
These are some very intelligent concepts!!!
EXCELLENT Production to Tony and the guys at ARI Films!!! My highest compliments!
awesome! Kabalah = Life = Yoga, not just asanas (postures) as most ppl understand it.
Now THAT was a beautiful explanation.
I am real in my mind. My reality rides a body. Where I am is what I make of it.
@Tyrfingr i completely agree with you. previous to doing mushrooms, for as long as i can remember, ive always known that there must be something else than the physical world, but i could never explain it.

Welcome. We are One. The time is now.
Thank you!
True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us.

So....the dumber you are the smarter you become? Then you must be a fucking genius.
Egoism is what makes life fun and gives you motivation, challenges, etc.
This is absolutely fantastic!!! Thank you!!
The begining is quite apt, showing Descartes to Know-Nothings in an understandable way. However, as long as it casts doubts and asks questions, it is good. But when it tries to construct some new "true reality", it is arbitrary and ignores the very fact it presented before: That we can't know anything because we are seperated from the world by our senses, perception, subjectivity, motives, biography, culture, it's all a random dance, there is no truth but what you make your personal truth.
Tony es alumno del más grande cabalista de nuestra época rav Laiman un gigante
I simply love this stuff
This is just a very well done presentation. Amazing actually...
the least this video does is make you think abit. A tidbit of knowledge is better than no knowledge.
Truly meaningful...
I'm completely into this Kabblah, Philosophy stuff. I've been a philosopher for about 2 years now. I don't believe in a god but I'm not an atheist. I'm a Psion. I'm into TK, PK, Psi, Chakra, Qi/Ki/Chi stuff that most humans doubt the existence of. But what's your view on all that? Please respong soon!
very interesting way of interpreting this, thanks for making me think twice!
Wow, I would love to hear that line of inquiry explored more deeply.
This was pretty incredible. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing everything! It has helped beyond measure with a lot of things. I desire with a different approach in life because of understanding our senses, and I love to love :)
not pulling anything out of egoism, but instead realizing the self doesn't really exist.
WOW, interesting! I am an activist and purpose is often the gray area between black and white. A sense of justice leads me, but Ego plays a part! Once you become good at what you do, based on results, to achieve more of the same, the addiction sets in. Along the way, I hope I do good, but that is a mirror of whom I hang out with.

is this with spanish translation? i lov it and need it in spanishhhh!!!!
i would rather see or experience it
close your eyes and listen
my point was if u and i have different definitions of the same concept, here mainly "ego", then neither of us can judge the other one's statement.
That's interesting. So I'm wondering now, what do you recommend?
There is a Two in our perception of reality. The reality behind reality is the gap found when work and sex annhilate each other in our lives. Then we see the portrait is washed of its colours and the canvass is revealed to us to invite us to paint a better reality upon it. See: Journey to Ixtlan, Carlos's "stopping the world". However, we need to search diligently for the truth, because just a combination of crude work and sex is not enough. Or consider we divide our attention between Two.
so is that what people see whene the say " i see the light"?
1. i'm saying u'r quoting and comparing it to kabbalah with noting difference in definitions of concepts (especially of ego, again) in the two systems.
2. chi-kung is a practice mainly for the body, while the two systems are more about spirituality. people who learn chi-kung need many years of practice b4 they can do any chikung stunts, so that they can have any conclusion.
3.i agree reality can be revealed by oneself.that's is the very reason we shouldn't judge other systems,like Laitman does

I never felt so scared in my life. Death seemed to be a way out of this cage. It is not a negative reflection on this video however I feel that some knowledge shuld be revealed gradually. May be I am not ready to handle such reality yet. Or is there a procedure to handle such a situation that I felt I was in?
The box is also a perception, through what senses do the sense sense themselves? They are also as is everything a projection of consciousness. There is no "out there" apart from these projections.

Mr. Mincer Makes a point. But ultimately the greater reality is whatever we want it to be. We create such a place, whether it exists or not, if we tell ourselves it exists then it must exist. Overall, it's useless. IM NIHILIST!
Why didn't I take the BLUE pill!
I am going to study Kabbalah.
@laurentperron1 "We are in fact convinced that if we are ever to have pure knowledge of anything, we must get rid of the body and contemplate things by themselves with the soul by itself. It seems, to judge from the argument, that the wisdom which we desire and upon which we profess to have set our hearts will be attainable only when we are dead and not in our lifetime." - Socrates
Reality is everything, we perceive reality through an interpretation of electrical impulses by the brain. This raises important questions of heaven, hell, and God. Just because you can't perceive those things doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Just because God is all in your head doesn't make it any less real. If God is just a series of chemicals produced by your brain, that means that God is as real as you reading this comment, as real as you seeing yourself in a mirror.
Right, or said another way, subjective reality is the only reality we experience. While other realties my exist, we cannot experience them. Therefore this reality, this subjective reality, is the only reality.
