According to Kabbalah there are three basic paradigms we can be in

Chessed Gevurah and Tifferes

 

 

Respectively the right, left and center

 

The right side, purely as it relates to the mind (intrinsically the right brain) is when a person is feeling secure, so their naturel tendency drives toward achieving desires (the mind then becomes the creative center of scheming)

 

The left side is the reverse, when a person feels worried, hence the mind becomes obsessed with preventing the danger

 

This state, as Yoda said, “fear is the path to the dark side” (as we know also, women have double the anxiety rate, probably connected with the fact that as the Talmud and science confirm, they are more connected to the left brain – observation, hence as the statement, “the more knowledge the more worries.”)

 

For fear creates obviously unease – and this then creates jealousy (as the Talmud states, “man is jealous of everyone except their child or disciple” – whom they love / identify, hence see that person’s success as their own) Jealousy as we know creates hate, and hate itself being an emotion then causes the brain to think (firstly it rationalizes, then exercises “justified maliciousness” shaming etc.)

 

However the truth of course lies in the center

 

The center is the line uniting God and man which Kabbalah terms, is the Crown (God) and man (malchus – the king)

 

In the Kabbalastic paradigm, precisely through understanding that we do not, nor cannot understand God, we have the humility to accept
