Ask Anything

Hey Ty,

We don’t do it since there’s no benefit first of all in passing whatever you’ve experienced to others since there’s no way for them to feel what you feel. Secondly, whatever words are used can only cause harm since that necessarily paints some picture or redefines concepts that only confuses others, obligating them to chase after certain images or emotions that aren’t accurate. This is why each person does their work, letting the sources and the teacher guide them. Any discussions between us aren’t about personal attainments, but generally about inspiration, raising importance and giving good examples. That list is of course a bit more detailed, but that’s the idea. Whatever we do, whatever actions we make or words we say, we always have to be very careful that we aren’t confusing anyone trying to implant in others what I felt or feel.

Thanks!

attainment can be shared in writings, but you only you can attain something and experience it.  This is why the Kabbalist have attained all the levels through the ten.  I took the class thanks for the advice

Hey Richard,

I would say this

And these

Let me know if you meant something else.

Thanks!

Hi Rahmann,

When you finish the course and are ready to find a ten, they will probably consider who else you’re close to, this used to hold more importance, and it still is important since gathering physically is something that tens like to plan every now and then, but there are many many other tens who don’t have this option since most everything is held virtually these days and there has been much progress since this shift.

Thanks!

you can see that even quantum physics explains that nothing but light surrounds us.  I am not an instructor but a student.  Because I see we have similarities in skepticism (when I first began just a few weeks ago) I bought the book “The Science of Kabbalah” By Dr, Rav Michael Lightman from the book store.  Ive read it in its entirety, and will probably visit it again.   I cannot say it has every answer but I can say at the start of your journey its a great place to start if you want to aquire what you cannot see in a logical sense as plausible scientifically.  Although the world around us is mostly visible there are things which we cannot see that are both beneficial and sometimes harmful.  When it comes to spirituality seeing is and sensing is not possilbe, because its an internal world that exists within.   And upon connecting with others we find this world is much bigger than the one we created for ourselves in our own perceptions.  I hope this recommendation helps.

Hey Charles,

This is what separartes Kabbalah from other methods. If you have an inclination, some kind of feeling within you that pushes you forward on the path, keeps you here and gives you the sensation that there is truth here – then this is enough to continue to engage until you understand how it works. “Understanding” just comes from feeling it, feeling the changes and in that the “intention” of the source of what changed you. Feeling that it wasn’t just some “blip” and now you relate differently to reality. It’s this change accompanied by a bit more of a sensation of the one that’s inciting these changes – what the upper, guiding force wants as a result of that change.

These are all things that explaining will only aid in directing you down that path that will eventually bring you such things for you to discover yourself. If there was some “source code” available for the whole world to inspect, then certainly the whole world would want to know what actions they need to do to raise themselves to a higher perception of reality. But the system that we exist in, and the forces that advance the created being, expect the creature to enter that perception by wanting it, meaning wanting the upper nature’s quality. “You can’t buy desire at the pharmacy”, thus this desire is something that is a result of a person’s own inner work so they go through all the sensations of toiling and claiming the reward for that toil – thus coming to know the “why” as a result which is the purpose of creation – to be in adhesion with the Creator and His thought of creation.

Patience is key. Doubts are also crucial. These are the foundation blocks for building your true “I”, which exist outside of your own reason, your body, this animal – the ego.

Best of luck,

Chris

My question is quite simple.  If the torah is not literal.  Yet we use the figures in the torah to explain how old the concept of Kabbalah was.  How do we know the torah is not literal.  We use Avraham as the father of torah but also the father of Kabbalah.  We then say Moses was giving the torah to the people at sinia.  Was this literal?  Or did these men exist and the stories are surrounding them but not literal (more myth and legend, or even fantasy) to allegorically explain the  world we cannot see.   I am just curious which point of the torah and its characters are literal.   I feel this particular subject is covered by the Kabbalah explained simply, but its kind of going back and forth as credible literal and not credible literal in the writings that  are offered as “Class text” for the classes.  Obviously the torah is light, but does it have to be literal to be that or can the allegories of both fiction legends, myths, and fantasies, simply be where the light was hidden so the allegory could be taught.  I say this because Ramesses II seems to not be recorded in our history at all as having exiled anyone out of Egypt yet the torah clearly names this person in our history as the one confronting moses.

The dreams most often piece together, facts and illusions, irrationally. Going to church and Sunday school, even if you did not pay attention, was a large source of dreams material. The subconscious mind takes note of much more than the conscious. The dream is most likely a mixture of facts you’ve heard/visualized (imagined while ‘not’ listening) that impressed you somehow. I remember being a kid and reading in the Bible that Moses broke the tablets (“written on with the finger of god“). I was 8 or 9, and I remember feeling enraged at Moses: “How can you hurt these tablets that the finger of god wrote?” It was like: “Moses, you broke God’s finger!” I felt hurt for God, did not want to hurt Moses, just felt that he knew better what is of value. I never told anyone. But I can see you, in your dream saying what I felt. From your story of this dream I sense that your subconscious mind was interested & preoccupied with spiritual matters and you loved god, even though you consciously deny this. I know nothing of dream interpretation if that’s what you’re looking for. The fact that you remember that dream vividly tells me that it shocked you, you frequently revisited it, and that your subconscious holds many memories unavailable to your conscious. It might be the call to develop spiritually. That’s my 2 cents. I appreciate you, and your sharing this here.

All is good, and nothing is bad.    It is actually a good thing for the ego to present itself to the individual or even on a global level, because this is not only proof it needs to be corrected but also that it can start to correct.  To take a side would be the wrong way to look at it.  The upper forces push us through our “reminiscence” of what we need to remember at the time to move toward corrections.  The world seeing such aa thing shows us that our ego is ruling globally, and it is very important we all become more unified, or better described as  “become one heart”.  Its hard not to take a side because we want to be part of that process of ego (all we know how to do is take or make things about ourselves) this is the will to receive in side and the will to take on ones own behalf.  Naturally we will want to judge but we really dont understand this is just a force doing what it does, which is push us to correction in the right environment (this can be large spiritual gains in both quantity and quality developments).  On a political level this is none of our concern simply because it is the Ego being the Ego.  On a spiritual level this should really motivate us to do our part in unification to make this type of event that seems “evil” as less of a blow and more of an opportunity to become more unified and corrected as a whole.

Hi David,

The answer depends on a person’s development. The Kabbalists tell us that at the highest height of spiritual attainment, There Is None Else Besides Him, and that everything that happens is only good and for our benefit. However, we cannot understand why certain phenomena occur in the world, or even in our own lives. For this, we must rise to the degree of perception of the Kabbalists who say that there is no such thing as bad in the world.

Rather, everything that occurs brings us closer to our purpose, being adhesion with the Creator. Still, the ideal form of advancement is through our increased aspiration to connection, and not through such destructive forces. What is happening now in the world is a sign that we must increase our effort. If we do, we will not need wars to awaken us.
