Mystical Experiences and Spirituality


  • Looked at philosophical and phycological insights relating to " Self Actualisation"  and "Fulfilment"
  • Spirituality and Misticism relate to Self Actualisation  and Fulfillment  
  • Mystical / Spiritual have one thing in common Get away from self 
  • Take a better balance on life 
  • Better conclusions and judgements 
  • Find peace in ourselves and respond accordingly

Kabbalah - Jewish 

Overlapped with Buddhism and Hinduism 

Kabbalah -points to spiritual dimension to all of life ( there are more things going on) 

They are searching for some deeper 

Happiness is not a good goal as it is temporary, whereas fulfilment is a good goal 

Ancient Jewish wisdom (5000 yrs ago) 

Given by God 

Secret Code: there is a spiritual dimension in all of life 

Around time of Christ- Book of Zoha was revealed 

Kabbalah has uncovered the deep metaphorical meaning to the Torah 

Kabbalah speaks about the mystical value to life and spiritual connection with God 

5 principles: Upper force that we live in, we are the egoistic parts to it, egos evolved at the end we will reach a state to unify with the force. [ simply: we are part of something and can experience inner peace]

We are one soul, one desire ( desire to enjoy) 
Shatter into millions of parts described as individual souls
Become like the Creator, need to unify together ( all souls have to come back together as one) 
We hate one another in actuality but, we have to connect with each other 


Loving spirit that created us
