One of the greatest things we can learn from Kabbalah is how to pass through the pain of life without suffering.
The Zohar explains that pain purifies and removes the shells of negativity (klippot) that surround our inner Light. These shells are created by our negative deeds and they cover and limit our spiritual development. They are barriers between us and the Light.
Suffering is resistance to this pain.

There are countless realities, all of which exist at the same time. This is what is known as parallel universes.
According to physics, the moment we make a decision, the universe splits and our alternative decision and fate branch out into another reality. According to Kabbalah, parallel universes grow progressively more orderly, eventually reaching a world of paradise, happiness, and unending life.
Which reality we enter is entirely up to us.

In the Monthly Tune Up I wrote for the Leo E-Newsletter, I explained that relationships are meant to be used as spiritual tools for achieving our correction.
