Daily Kabbalah Lesson with Ari Goldwag
Summary: The Kabbalah contains timeless words that we have received in our tradition from the great ones before us. They teach us of a deeper reality beneath the surface, one that is spiritual and full of light. This podcast will take you on a breathtaking journey into that reality, leaving you enlightened as to the great opportunity that life affords us. The timeless words of the Ramchal, Rav Moshe Chaim Luzzato, famed Kabbalist of the 18th century, as well as those of Rav Chaim Volozhiner, as well as R' Moshe Cordovero, form the basis for this podcast, which will be updated daily with God's help.

The visions can sometimes take on a paradoxical form, analogous to the type of experience one has in a dream.
The prophet experiences a vision in which he sees something from our world. Each of the things in our world represent a spiritual concept in the upper worlds, and thus his vision tells him in an analogous way about the spiritual realms.
