Mrc,

I’m sure your parents are lovely people. It’s written the hearts of kings and ministers are in the hands of the Creator. Moreover, if there is None Else Besides Him, as the sages wrote, then everything and everyone is ultimately included in Him. And only I am the observer of this reality of None Else Besides Him.

Mrc,

The Kabbalists explain that the purpose of creation is to fill the created beings with unlimited fulfillment. And even though a person may still be on the way and has yet to reach the end goal of their development, the correct form of work is that we justify the Creator every step of the way and appreciate and feel joy from every state we receive and for every effort we make towards our spiritual goal.

Hi Mrc,

Only a person who arranges the correct environment for themselves can advance spiritually. For this, one should be in a society that will promote the importance of bestowal. In such an environment, a person is constantly shown their own smallness with respect to the greatness of the group, and that specifically in the connection between people one can attain connection with the Creator.

It all depends on the matter of inclusion with the environment. If I am connected with the others, then for sure they will bring me out of any perceptions of my own greatness and importance and back into the greatness of the Creator.

Hi Devorah,

1)  You’re asking with respect to Kabbalah I assume…yes? The answer is none. There are some students who keep that tradition, but it has nothing to do with the study nor are they used as a supplement to the study. Religion and Kabbalah have a very distinct line drawn between them.

2)  It’s not about superseding, it’s about the method of correction. If a person wishes to correct their soul, they follow the teachers who have made the corrections and instruct us how do follow in their footsteps. They do not mention observing any Mitzvot in the physical sense as you’re asking about.

3)  This is certainly set up for you this way from above, so you take what you can get. Of course, don’t jeopardize your well-being. You need sufficient sleep and time with family etc. so try and keep a normal routine and what you can manage, you manage. You’re not “penalized” or anything like that : )

4)  Ah of course, no worries. Once you can finish the course and move on to the graduate environment, there you’ll be provided with anything you need, and there are MANY English speakers not just in the US but around the world who will be there to welcome you.

All the best!

Chris

Hi mrc,

Changing the past only has to do with how I relate to it. We can’t change anything. None else besides Him. Our correction is revealing Him in every aspect of reality as the One and only force.

Thanks!
