Tikkun olam is Hebrew for “repair of the world,” literally translated. It’s also understood to mean “construction for eternity.” This refers to the teshuvah construction of the world, where we are “created” in seven days.

The Sefirot and the Tree of Life
The Tree of Life is a parable. Each Sefirot and the tree itself is a parable or a code to help us understand the nature of God and ourselves. We are, after all, made in the image of God.
Mormon Kabbalah 101: Introduction
About Lesson

Mormon Kabbalah offers a unique and deeply personal approach to understanding the divine, drawing from ancient traditions and modern revelation. Rooted in the mystical traditions of Kabbalah and the prophetic teachings of Joseph Smith, Mormon Kabbalah emphasizes the importance of personal spiritual experiences, direct communion with God, and the path of teshuvah—returning to our Creator. In this lesson, we will explore the foundations of Mormon Kabbalah, its relationship to other forms of Kabbalah, and how it helps us grow in grace. As we study, we will consider what it means to follow a path of deep faith, love, and connection, while learning to see the world and ourselves in the light of God’s wisdom.

Key Concepts

  1. Mormon Kabbalah as a Path to Personal Revelation: Unlike traditional religious instruction, which often focuses on structured doctrine, Mormon Kabbalah encourages each individual to seek personal revelation. It teaches that scripture and teachings serve as a guide, but true understanding comes through direct communion with God.
  2. The Role of Teshuvah (Returning) in Spiritual Growth: Repentance in Mormon Kabbalah is more than merely seeking forgiveness—it is a journey of returning to God, aligning with divine will, and shedding the ego. This process of teshuvah helps us transform into beings of greater love, wisdom, and spiritual power.
  3. The Interconnectedness of Mysticism, Theology, and Action: Mormon Kabbalah unites mysticism (seeking direct experience with God), theology (understanding divine truths), and thaumaturgy (miracle working or spiritual gifts). These three elements work together to help individuals deepen their faith, cultivate spiritual gifts, and enact real change in their lives.

Deeply Personal and Transformative

Mormon Kabbalah is a deeply personal and transformative spiritual path that draws on ancient mystical traditions and modern revelation. Rooted in the teachings of Joseph Smith Jr. and the principles of Kabbalah, it offers a unique approach to understanding God and the universe. Unlike traditional religious paths that often emphasize structured doctrine, Mormon Kabbalah encourages individuals to seek personal revelation, drawing closer to God through direct communion.

Central to this approach is the concept of teshuvah—a process of returning to God, aligning with divine will, and shedding the ego. Through this spiritual journey, we move beyond doctrinal knowledge to experience God’s love, grace, and wisdom. This lesson will explore the foundational elements of Mormon Kabbalah, including its relationship with other forms of Kabbalah, and how it leads to greater spiritual growth and transformation.

Mormon Kabbalah as a Path to Personal Revelation

In Mormon Kabbalah, the journey is personal and intimate. The scriptures and teachings act as a guide, but true understanding comes through seeking direct revelation from God. Individuals are encouraged to develop their own relationship with the divine, which allows them to understand and experience God’s will in their own unique way.

This process fosters a deeper connection with God, one that is not based on external authority or rigid interpretations, but on personal encounters with the divine. Personal revelation is a key aspect of Mormon Kabbalah, empowering each individual to cultivate a life of spiritual authenticity.

The Role of Teshuvah (the Return) in Spiritual Growth

Teshuvah is more than the act of seeking forgiveness—it is a process of returning to God, aligning our will with His, and shedding the ego. In Mormon Kabbalah, teshuvah is understood as a return to our Creator, seeking reconciliation with Him and striving to live according to divine will.

This process of transformation involves both introspection and action. As we humble ourselves and seek to overcome pride and ego, we align ourselves more closely with God’s love and grace. Teshuvah is an ongoing process that leads to greater spiritual growth, making us more compassionate, wise, and spiritually powerful.

The Interconnectedness of Mysticism, Theology, and Action

Mormon Kabbalah integrates three essential elements: mysticism (direct spiritual experience with God), theology (understanding divine truths), and thaumaturgy (miracle working or spiritual gifts). These three aspects work together to deepen faith, cultivate spiritual gifts, and enact real change in one’s life.

Mysticism in Mormon Kabbalah focuses on cultivating a personal, direct relationship with God, while theology helps us understand the nature of the divine. Thaumaturgy, or the working of miracles, reflects the way that spiritual growth and understanding lead to tangible results in the world. The integration of these elements provides a holistic approach to spiritual life, where inward transformation is mirrored by outward action.

Discussion Questions

  1. How does Mormon Kabbalah’s emphasis on personal revelation differ from traditional religious instruction? How can you begin seeking more personal, direct experiences with God in your own life?
  2. What does teshuvah mean to you in the context of your spiritual journey? How does it relate to your relationship with Jesus Christ and the process of repentance?
  3. In what ways do you see mysticism, theology, and action working together in Mormon Kabbalah? Can you identify an experience in your own life where these elements intersected?
  4. How does the practice of kindness and charity play a role in your spiritual growth, and how does it relate to the teachings of Mormon Kabbalah?
    Reflect on a time when you experienced personal revelation or a deep spiritual insight. How did this experience strengthen your faith and connection with God?

Suggestions for Action

  1. Engage in personal revelation. Dedicate time each day for prayer or meditation, asking God for guidance. Keep a journal of any insights or experiences that you feel are direct messages from Him.
  2. Practice teshuvah by reflecting on areas of your life where you may need to return to God. Ask for forgiveness and make a conscious effort to align your will with His in your daily decisions and actions.
  3. Develop your spiritual gifts. Set an intention to cultivate a specific spiritual gift, such as empathy, patience, or discernment. Pray for help in developing this gift and actively look for opportunities to exercise it in your life.
  4. Serve others this week, identify a way or ways to serve someone in need, whether through physical acts of charity or offering emotional support. Reflect on how this service brings you closer to God and to your understanding of His love.
  5. Study the scriptures with renewed eyes. Choose a passage from the scriptures that has resonated with you. Spend time meditating on it, asking God to reveal deeper meanings or insights that you may not have considered before.

Final Thought & Meditation

Take a moment to sit in stillness. Breathe deeply and close your eyes. Imagine yourself standing in a vast and peaceful place, filled with light. In the center of this space, you see a reflection of yourself—not as the world sees you, but as God sees you: radiant, whole, and deeply loved. Feel this love filling your heart.

Now, extend that love outward, allowing it to touch everyone around you—family, friends, strangers, even those you struggle with. As this light grows, recognize that you are part of something greater—a divine tapestry woven together by love.

As you open your eyes, carry this awareness with you. Let your actions, words, and thoughts reflect the love of God, and seek to see the divine spark in all things.
