The Jewish Model of Awakening

[Eternal Unity]

Being a jewish secular citizen of The State of Israel for the last 27 years, I, with Leo's inspiration, came up yesterday with a short - skeleton crew, really - early first draft of a larger work I plan to follow up on.

I am honored to present it to you ?

 

 

The Jewish Model of Awakening by Greg Margolis, May 7th, 2021.

 

Level 1: The Torah.

Every child, from a very young age is taught the basic principles of the original old testament stories and how to appropriately implement them until he reaches the age of 13.

Level 2: The Mitzvah.

A certain ceremony takes place. The boy is officially initiated into the jewish community. For girls, it is at age 12, for they considered to be closer to spiritual intuition than boys.

Level 3: The Zohar

The adult jew, hopefully after he is married with children - however, it is not a necessity - is presented with a choice: To advance further in his understandings or remain, for now, with his usual Torah study. 
In any case, this choice won't be presented until The Person of Interest is 40 years of age.

Level 4 - The Mirror Stage

A very rare stage hardly anyone reaches. 
There ARE archives of The Ancient Hebrew Sages (Hazal) 
which state that this stage IS a possible achievement. 
A person who is at level 4 is known as Navi Emet (A True Prophet).

Level 5

אין סוף - Pronounced: "Ein Sof"

The Supreme Personality of Elohim

Only one being is known to have attained it - Moses.

Ein Sof has been attained by more than Moses.

Silly myths.

Ein Sof is Zen satori and Buddhist cessation. It's just Nothingness.

It is not even the highest attainment.

[Bodhitree]

Hmm, I thought this was going to be about the Kabbalah...

[bazera]

@Leo Gura How is Zen satori different from the God realisation that you're referring?

Is it more radical to go from Zen satori to God then to go from normal state to satori?

The Kabbalah blends with Stage 3

Thank you, Sir, for devoting some of your precious time to read and even comment on my post.

That others had attained Ein Sof is news to me.

I will continue my research through Zen satori and Buddhist cessation.

My understanding of Nothingness is very basic.

Thank you for enlightening me, it is not taken for granted.

Good day, Sir.

@Eternal Unity

Where do you take this from?

I have ben looking for the exact translation of EnlightenmentIn for Judaism , so far i didn't find it.

The only thing i can think of is the term "Tzadik" in Hebrew "צַדִּיק‎"

In the same way EnlightenmentIn cant be faked, if you have it, you have it - if you don't - you don't.

The same is true for being a "Tzadik" 

And I believe Judaism has a path to Enlightenment it, its just very very distorted and controversial with what is thought. 

And NO ONE talks about it openly, because of that.
