FOUNDATION COURSE KABBALAH

We have talked about different views in the Kabbalah of spiritual entities and processes. First
the sfirot. Sfirot also means worlds, partzufim. Secondly the names of the Creator, all kinds of
names in the Torah. And in the third place the shapes of the letters, what they look like,
combinations and positions. How could we ever see how the world functions without having
the proper tools? The letters are given to all mankind. They contain everything, the whole
plan of creation, the whole correction and it has been given to all mankind. The Jews, to
whom it has been given, have to be the administrators of that operating system. Just like we
have microsoft on earth which is the administrator of the operating system for computers. We
are all happy users of microsoft and we don‟t think about microsoft when we use the
computer. We don‟t care as long as it functions properly.
The Jews who received the Torah need to learn Torah day and night and reveal all kinds of
nuances. The next generation can reveal other things. Moses has had everything or Rabbi
Akiva or another. We can bring nuances upwards which then will be revealed to us through
the letters and combinations of the letters. We have the names of the Creator, Elokim,
HaVaYa‟H, in all sorts of forms. Also through the position in the alphabet. All laws that have
been given. We will see how it works.
Alphabet, aleph is Hebrew and bet is Hebrew as well. Alpha is Aramaic for aleph and betta is
Aramaic for bet. Aramaic is strongly related to Hebrew. The Phoenicians were a Greek
trading people near Syria. They came with ships to the North-West coast and they have
adopted the alphabet of the Jews. There is a form of hieroglyphs that shows phenomena and
objects in the form of hieroglyphs like the Japanese and Chinese people still use. It‟s a very
old form. The form of letters has been given to people at a higher level. I am not saying that
Chinese people are less high or of a lower level. It‟s about the level of when and to whom it
has been given. Jews have received the alphabet and it was passed on to all the civilized
peoples like the Greek. And almost all in the same order. Almost every alphabet starts with
the a, alpha. The Dutch and other western alphabets and also the Russian correspond with this
alphabet that has been given to mankind. But all other forms like the hieroglyphs are
prehistoric as it were. They are relics of the stone age, from a culture that originates from
before the recognition of the Only Creating Strength. I never talk about groups or nations but
for instance look at the Chinese, how much polytheism, so many gods. There is no
recognition. Of course they have some recognition of the Only Creating Strength but it is
mingled with a lot of prehistoric insights from before the recognition of the Only Creating
Strength. Adam was the first one to see the unity in all the phenomena. He was the first one
who could see that all can be found in one cause. Also in Africa you see hieroglyphs in
ancient excavations. Africa is actually the motherland of all countries, everything originates
from Africa. The first man came in Africa. All other areas were later exploited. Everything
originates from Africa. We owe a lot to Africa. I mean there are all kinds of roots but it‟s also
lagging behind and this has to do with age. It‟s not decrepit but they need new man with
insights like European man and not their own insights.
The language that we have now, not the Hebrew that is spoken nowadays - they have adopted
it, but the language since Adam which was passed on to all the generations, is this language.
And therefore it‟s given to the whole world. This is also why Jews have been prosecuted
generation after generation because they felt consciously or unconsciously that they were the
bearers of this connection between the absolute primordial principle and the generation they
lived in. That‟s why it continuous to exist. Also as a primal people. Within them they bear
spurs of the connection with the Only Creating Strength. It lives in them, in this people. They
must convey it and they have no other choice. Therefore they received the Torah, not because
