Good morning sir, my question is that, I was trying to work on the two keys I found in the book of Zohar which says, we are all connected as one and to enter the Zohar we need to love our neighbor as ourselves, and we need to have the intention to give, so my question is that are you still talking about inner world here or you’re talking about the physical world? When I try to apply it physically it looks like am pleasing the other. Please enlighten me on it

These are the things you need to do inside, in your feeling. To hug someone on the outside is easy; to love them, want the best for them – this is impossible because my nature is to want the best for me, and not others unless that will benefit me somehow. In other words, the miracle we need is to be given the quality of bestowal, love.

In Kabbalah it is said that a single man is “half a desire.” What does this mean in terms of one’s inner spiritual work?
- September 26, 2025 at 2:34 pm EDT #455651JoydnatureParticipant
How do I manage to penetrate in the quality of bestow and is there anything I need to be doing in order to reach the saga of bestow, because I’ve been trying to work with this two law and it seems like am in my head,

It means half his desire that he needs to reach the spiritual goal is not even in him, but in another; and so eventually he needs to connect with that desire to reach the goal.

Is it possible someone to be sometime connected with all things and sometimes disconnected for it, the purpose of my question is that yesterday I felt connected with all thing around me people, place, threes almost everything, the feeling is like am in the world but at the same time the world is in me, and today I was trying to connect with the same feeling but I can’t, please enlighten me on it, thanks

Yes, the Creator flirts with a person, to invite him to advance closer to Him.

Oh now I understand, and thank for the enlightenment. Now I clearly understand what it means to love your neighbor as yourself

Okay thanks,

Is this state of being “half a desire” necessarily an obstacle for spiritual advancement, or can it be used as a deficiency that strengthens prayer?
- September 25, 2025 at 1:14 pm EDT #455422Gianni – KabU InstructorModerator
You should use the deficiency. But eventually, yes it is a problem to have half the desire that is required.

Is it better to focus my efforts on correcting my relation with the friends and with the Creator, even while remaining a “half a desire,” and trust that the other half (a partner) will come at the right time? Should I be in a hurry to find a partner in order to be complete, or is it more important to work with what the Creator has given me in this moment?
- September 25, 2025 at 2:49 pm EDT #455433Gianni – KabU InstructorModerator
Work with what the Creator has given. Getting a partner doesn’t take time or focus. It’s not like people think in our world – that I need to go on dates every Friday and Saturday night, live together for a few years, etc. It only takes alignment with the right goal and understanding why I need a partner – and then I’ll find one. Then I get married as soon as possible without all the imaginary nonsense. Of course, I also need a steady job with a reasonable income – and this may take time if a person has disregarded this basic necessity, until now. The Creator has determined these foundations and requirements. To keep them for the reason that I need them to attain the spiritual goal is already a spiritual action.

What do you mean by without all the imaginary nonsense?
- September 25, 2025 at 3:19 pm EDT #455439Daniel Alvarez GrisalesParticipant
Since lo lishma means working not for the sake of the Creator but for another purpose, would directing my efforts in the spiritual path toward finding a partner also fall under lo lishma? And if so, is it still a valid stage of progress?
- September 25, 2025 at 3:28 pm EDT #455441Gianni – KabU InstructorModerator
We just need to TRY to be in Lishma, and when we do everything we are advised to do, with that false intention, it’s called Lo Lishma. The Creator is responsible for Lishma.

I didn’t know that the Torah was a Kabbalah book. Since I have been studying, not all of the Jewish community doesn’t recognize Kabbalah. P. S. Rosh Rashanah
- September 22, 2025 at 4:19 pm EDT #454561Gianni – KabU InstructorModerator
Of course. The sages wrote about nothing but the spiritual world – that is, about Kabbalah. But they did so in 4 languages, one of which is the language of the Torah.

I wanted to thank Erga for his response to the last question in the Kabbalah Explained Simply class , but the class ended before I could . I, also, have wondeted about how I should go about combining my daily life with what I’m learning as I study Kabbalah. If I understood correctly, he said , for the time being, not to try. That
makesperfect sense to me so I certainly hope i understood correctly. Thank you all for bringing this to me. It
has begun

Yes, in the beginning it’s best to treat these separately, for them to develop on two independent planes.

Hello, from Brasil!
Is it possible to be a Gnostic Kabbalist? I understand they are different tracks on the same path, ater all, “all roads lead to Rome”, don`t they?
Thank you.

I don’t know. There cannot be many variations of physics or chemistry, and the laws of the Upper World are further laws of nature that do no leave room for variability – and so the answer is no: a path could be more accurate or less, but there cannot be many correct paths. That’s why a person has to put all their eggs in one basket: choose where their heart tells them is best, and once decided, stick with that place and that teacher until the end.

Adam shattering into 600,000 pieces is a very complex concept for me. At what point did Adam shatter into 600,000 pieces since he was created in the Garden of Eden? Was it after he ate from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil? The diagrams I’ve seen the instructors draw of Adam HaRishon are above this world. So, I’m confused by the shattering happening above this world when he was formed from the dust of this world in the Garden of Eden.
- August 18, 2025 at 1:01 pm EDT #449254Gianni – KabU InstructorModerator
It’s simple, you’re just mixing together two things that don’t mix. Our world is called the imaginary world, and Kabbalah doesn’t talk about it at all. Kabablists only talk about the spiritual world, and to do so they use four languages that describe that same spiritual world. One of those languages is the language of the Bible – the Garden of Eden, Adam, Eve, etc. Another language is the language of Kabbalah – souls, worlds, sefirot.
Therefore, ‘dust of this world’ is not about the dust you walk on. Adam is not someone who lived in our world. And souls are not the people around you and not something the people have in them. Around you are all parts of the animal kingdom, the plant kingdom and the inanimate matter. There is here some kind of projection of spirituality – an opposite upon opposites projection – in order to give us something from which to rise up to the spiritual world.
