Daniel Alvarez GrisalesParticipantHello dear Gianni 🙂
I would like to know what Rabash means by money, counting, missing money and any other aspects you think I should keep in mind in this excerpt. Thank you.
Rabash. Article 23 (1991), “What Is the Meaning of the Purification of a Cow’s Ashes, in the Work?”
In faith,.. we should make three discernments:
1) For example, if a person gives to his friend $1,000, and the person accepts it, and he is completely sure and believes, since this man is my friend, and a meticulous person, so if he gives the money, there must be $1,000 there, and there is no need to count. This is called “faith below reason.” In other words, he believes him because his reason does not object to what he believes, meaning there is no contradiction between believing him and the reason. It follows that to him, faith is below reason, and the reason is more important. That is, he believes him because reason does not object. However, if this is in contrast to reason, he will probably not believe. This is still not regarded as faith above reason.
2) He tells him, “Here is $1,000.” The receiver counts it three times and sees that there is the stated amount there and says to the giver, “I believe you that there is that amount here, as you say.” Certainly, this does not count as faith.
3) He counts the $1,000 three times and sees that one dollar is missing, but he says to the giver, “I believe you that there is $1,000 here. Even though the reason and the intellect say that there is less here, he says that he believes. This is called true “above reason.”

Gianni – KabU InstructorModeratorIt seems Rabash wants us to check if, with respect to the friends, we judge them from within reason, below reason, or above reason. We need to start measuring to what extent we can see them above reason. I think the example is clear.

BradParticipantHi
Outside of the Ten, Im starting to like this idea of being just like everyone else, at work for example. I don’t try to push kabbalah on them or even talk anything about G-d. Even though they know im religious as well. I act like them, it seems to keep things on good terms. Although this is a different context, Im reminded of the example of the holy sages before pesach put bread crumbs in their beards to appear un-holy to others. (Would love the quote?) I know im not holy, but i like this idea. Can you tell me more about this practically and spiritually ?
Thanks

Gianni – KabU InstructorModeratorBecause it’s against what you would have liked to have done. And yet, it’s what they prefer. You don’t quite give to them, and yet you receive nothing from them. You do what you’re supposed to do, and that’s it. Nobody wanted your religion; nobody wanted your Kabbalah: it’s what you wanted to “bestow.” Bestowal isn’t what you want to bestow – that’s called RECEPTION. Therefore, this new way turns out to be more spiritual. Meaning, it’s not spiritual, but by not being against spirituality, it’s closer.

ParticipantThe God of the Tanakh is vengeful, wrathful, jealous, and spiteful – and it’s for this reason that so many people reject Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. By contrast, we are told in Kabbalah that the Creator is an all-loving, altruistic force. How can this contrast be explained? If the Tanakah is rooted in Kabbalah, or Kabbalah is rooted in the Judaic tradition (however you want to look at it), why are these images of “God” so different from one another?

Gianni – KabU InstructorModeratorKabbalists don’t attempt to reconcile religious views with Kabbalistic views. Why would there be a contrast? Because for thousands of years and after thousands of commentators who did not attain the Upper World referred to by these texts, the obvious, expected, and by corporeal logic, perfectly logical conclusions were arrived at. Meaning to understand the Creator, you have to become like the Creator. Otherwise, each will form his own opinion based on his animal instinct.

SauliParticipantI have too be honest here. I have an attraction and repulsion with Kabbalah. I have been studying or been exposed to it I belive 8 or 9 years or so now. I’m really interested about it, really really a lot and it has been a huge help in my understanding of life. Problem is that I can’t pass Young Group, I have been there two times and quit for various different reasons, example that I don’t speak English well even if I write right it all right and I easily understand it but something is telling me to quit. Am I just too big egoist? Because that´s how I feel it.

Gianni – KabU InstructorModeratorIf you can still enjoy something else, go ahead. There’s a certain law over reality that ensures each one will complete that experiment, understanding that there is a law over them, imposing this correction of each one’s soul, and there’s nothing to do about it. The good future lies ahead; the suffering is coming from behind. Between these is a person’s only choice.

SauliParticipantThat´s the problem, I can’t so maybe I have to take time of think about it and join in the next group.

Gianni – KabU InstructorModeratorSure. But that sounds like just continuing the same. As it was, so it will be.
If one would really think all the time, that’d be something. But we know it won’t be so.

SauliParticipantI’m actually thinking all the time what Kabbalah has to offer, i just need to get over my ego and take a leap of faith here. Next time it will happen and I won’t quit for sure.

Jon AltoParticipantThe overthinking part is very scientist and rational. There’s nothing wrong, but it does make it harder to navigate reality. That’s why kabbalah triggered my ego over and over. I was wondering, why do we have to learn these complicated Hebrew words? Why should we stick with words that most cannot relate to.
Then asking the question is answering it. I could give an answer, but I realize that it’s better to let people find them for themselves.

ParticipantHow does one know when they’ve ascended to a specific degree in the spiritual world? Are you able to enter in and out of the spiritual world on demand? What does that look like? Those of you who have been practicing for years, what is that you’re experiencing that informs you beyond a shadow of a doubt the truth of Kabbalah?
- November 2, 2025 at 1:03 am EDT #462695
Gianni – KabU InstructorModeratorThat’s a good question and also a famous question, one that every new student has and which Kabbalists never answer. My teacher asked something like that of Rabash, and Rabash just said, “you won’t get any insurance policy here. But go and search elsewhere.” How does a Kabbalist know what degree he is on, I also can’t answer because he knows by even surer terms than one knows where he is now, that I exist in this world. In what world do you exist? Where is this world you exist in? What is it exactly? Why? What’s it FOR? We don’t know. We don’t know where we are or what we are? And a Kabbalist does, learns what this world is, what he is, was, and will be.

Jon AltoParticipantIn the last Great Transition live, we speak about a 6th sense that humanity has to develop, for a connection. I asked what would that 6th sense be named?
Seth gave a very good explanation.
I made a little more research and I found the quality: Daʿat (דעת).
This means, humanity is indeed developing that 6th sense through many channels. Kabbalah brings the science behind all this.
All this is very complex, and I just keep coming back to the same answer: Learn more Hebrew and Kabbalah.
So this means we have all the answers. I just feel gratitude for your work 🙏 Thank you.
