if the corpreal reality is an illusion how can i even belive what im experienceing her in kab u or that im even writing this…is thier something entiraly different happening in the other worlds right now?? Like if i have a fight with my parent…thats not actually whats happening or??
Corporeal reality exists, but I don’t see it through the right lens so that I’ll do what I should do. Instead of seeing all kinds of things going on in the world that I can have, can’t have, could harm me, could benefit me, are scary, and so on — instead, what I’m doing is looking in a mirror, where all the intentions to receive that I have, appear to me as people, animals, planets, etc. If it’s just a mirror showing what’s inside me, start thinking what an illusion I’m in regarding all kinds of plans I have, worries, fears, how it causes me to suffer or become happy. That’s called that I’m in an imaginary world. And I don’t come out of it because either I don’t know this or always forget about and fall back into the same illusion with full immersion, to the point that I even don’t want to come out.
“Instead of seeing all kinds of things going on in the world that I can have, can’t have, could harm me, could benefit me, are scary, and so on” do you mean that this is what we usually do and what we should do is “looking in a mirror, where all the intentions to receive that I have, appear to me as people, animals, planets, etc” and once we do this we start to see everything as imagenery…then what? or lets say me and my parent have alot of issuse with my perosnal faith and they dont agree, so it causes tension disconnection, we dont communicate in all its forms (call, face2face etc) and its causing anxiety and fear/unease “like its not supposed to be this way so i feel bad” what can i do about this, think “this is imagenary…then what hows that gonna do anything for me…where does equivalance of form come into play here and alturism?
to add on, how can i sense the upperforces at play in all of this and recieve the guidace?
Thank you again!
Hold on, we can’t mix all these things into a soup. None are clear, and then we mix several unclear things together.
The world is not imaginary, in itself. But the way I look at it is as if it’s outside of me. It’s a reflection of me. Leave that as a theory for now because you can’t work with it yet.
With my parents, there are clear laws of this world at play. You can’t take a spiritual approach with that. The police pulls you over because you’re 30 over the limit, prayer won’t work. You broke the law, you’re getting a ticket. What about a really strong prayer? Nothing will work. This world’s laws are the Creator’s laws. This stands alone, don’t relate it to any other principle. Your parents’ nature is their nature, their expectations are what they are. Your ability to believe what they want you to is either sufficient to do so or it isn’t. It’s either worth it for you, and possibly them, to step on your own desire a bit for the sake of family harmony or not. If a person has a strong Point in the Heart, if it’s about a belief system, it’s a big question. Because then one HAS to REVEAL the Creator, in which case all religions disappear, except for the simple customs, which can stay. But there’s no room for any belief system since all that vaporizes the instant the Creator is revealed. At the same time, you can’t ruin belief for others, since that’s enough for them to feel good and if they didn’t have it, they’d suffer. These are corporeal issues that require corporeal solutions without the admixture of any spiritual concepts. Once a problem reaches this world, you manage it according to this world’s laws.
From now on, I’ll try to be closer to spirituality and more correct in my thoughts and desires, so I’ll see a better world.
Hello
1. Super greatfull for this community and all the teachers!
Ive been batteling alot with 3 things,
1. understanding and internalising the masach
2 How to practically switch from recive to bestow when its not about material things (i.e its easier to think of bestowal when giving food and money)
3. Reading the texts/ watching videos and trying to attain the level of the kabbalist that gave the wisdom…how do i?
extra; is it spritually bad to want a ceratain physicall change to your body(like working out to look better or fixing you hairline lol) and listening to rap music like eminiem who curses alot or talks ill of others
Love to all and blessings!!
Hi Yeabsera,
(1) The Masach [screen] is hard to, I should say impossible to, understand because it’s not in our tool box of things we find in us or in this world. It just isn’t here at all. What’s here is pleasures, which are able to get through the Barrier to the spiritual world and come down to us – and we race after them and receive them as much as possible with no restraint except those placed upon us by factors beyond our control. And a screen is a response system that has to be built in me whereby I won’y receive anything I’m not certain will be in order to bestow. One hasn’t done this even once in one’s entire life nor in all kinds of incarnations they’ve been through. When the Point in the Heart awakens, it’s the first point of the Masach. But it’s just a Point for now.
(2) Yes, it’s not material things. It’s desire. One doesn’t even know what a desire is. You can chop off his hands and legs and all his organs, but you can’t destroy his desire. It’s eternal. This I need to take: desires. And place upon each desire the intention to bestow.
(3) It’s by the extent to which you feel he is talking to you directly, about the exact state you’re in, and then you adhere to him, hugging him with all that you are, so he’ll guide your every step. You adhere to him, and he takes you gradually toward the spiritual worlds.
(Extra) Nope. Just pay attention to how much you’re thinking about other things, whether you really have to, and if you have to, then how much do you actually have to for the required effect. And not to think about it a minute longer than will be beneficial. And, most importantly, to try not to think about anything unnecessary that makes you forget the spiritual goal.
1 is the masach like a checkout scanner in a store, not allowing barcodes that dont go in the system to get scanned? aka if a have an intention to recive i will not be bestowed upon becuase the Masach prohibits it? you said pleasures can reach the spiritual and come down again..you aslo said we chase them (in my mind it sound like we race after fleeting experinces?) if so are these pleasure bad and if they are how come they go up to the spiritual wich is..good? and when they come down are they differnet or?(whats the whole thing with the pleasures going up and down basically)
2, i understand desires will always be even if im paralyzed, what did that part have to do with learning to add bestowl to the “stew” also when you say its not material tings its desire..do you mean that my will to give the food is not a will to give food but a desire to give period? like the food is a representation of my desire and the intention connected to that desire in that moment (image: you have a pair of xray glasses, before you put them on you see me gving a sandwich to a homeless guy becuase i saw he´s hungry, then you put on the glasses and you see immaterial light where the sandwich is and you see light in my heart…aka the food is just a desire and if there is light in my heart i have the intention to bestow ?
3. do you mean “feel” as in a feeling occurs or as in how much i try to relate or see how the content relates to me directly so im reading and i imagen the text is talking about my life specificlay even if the content dosent remind me of a specific situation in my life? can you explain what you do when you adhere to the kabbalist…im a practicall person
extra: you threw me for a loop here dont even know what to ask hhaha but thank you very much for the help!
Dear KabU Team,
thank you for your guidance. In our studies on the science of Kabbalah, we also examine the paths followed by valuable teachers like Michael Laitman.
At this point, the place of the Kippah/Yamukah, which is an important symbol in Judaism, has become a matter of curiosity.
As you know, universal principles lie in the depths of Kabbalah.
What is the wisdom behind a Kabbalist leader still wearing a Kippah/ Yamukah?
In fact—even though I am Jewish—I stopped wearing a kippah after I started studying Kabbalah.
We would like to learn your valuable opinions on this matter to expand our knowledge.
Best regards.
Brian Israel
Hi Brian,
First, wearing a kippah in Israel is pretty normal. Second, a Kabbalist goes according to “I dwell among my people,” so if they do it that way, if there’s no harm in it, the Kabbalist does too. Aside from that the practice is based on the spiritual action of putting the spirtual Screen over the desire, such that one is never seen without it. So, there’s not only no harm in it, but if he knows what it means and why he does it, it can be beneficial. The main thing is the work in the heart, intentions, keeping the inner meaning of the Mitzvot, on which the external Mitzvot were created as copies.
Hi Gianni,
Thank you for your guidance. I understand the perspective of wearing a Kippah as a social norm—”dwelling among my people”—or as an external reminder of the spiritual Screen (Masach).
However, I am curious about a point Michael Laitman frequently emphasizes in his lessons: Given the level that the ego has reached today, doesn’t Kabbalah teach us that physical forms and traditions (like the classical function of religions) are no longer sufficient for spiritual correction, and that the “work in the heart” is what truly matters?
If the Kippah is merely an external copy, doesn’t clinging to such symbols run the risk of diverting focus away from the core essence—the intention of “bestowal”—and back toward empty forms? Where exactly should we draw the line between respecting external traditions and adhering to the internal truth?
I look forward to learning your valuable opinions on this matter.
Best regards,
Brian Israel
In this incredibly accurate Lego model of an F35 jet, I can learn about the F35 – if for now, say, I’m not allowed to fly a real one – yet flying this Lego around doesn’t get me one inch closer to the real thing. Could this lead to me actually starting to think I’m in a real F35? -people are capable of anything you can imagine. Even to think this Lego is somehow higher than an actual F35? – even that! But, no, there’s nothing to worry about unless wants to willfully delude himself, and that’s only because he internally doesn’t want to come to the real inner work with the intention.
Goʻd morning. I have not been able to attend attend due to corporeal issues.ihave some questkons . Are there passages i should read that would help me get ‘back in the mindset’ ? Ive deleted the.

Sallly in
Hi Sally, good to see you.
I’m not sure which meeting you mean. If you mean Kabbalah Explained Simply, it’s on our Youtube Channel under Live at 1pm EST and the post-Q&A is here: https://zoom.us/j/93373603132. (This one does change every 5 weeks)
This is for the Sunday English Kli Gathering 11:45 am EST: Zoom link https://zoom.us/j/93857542491
This is for Sunday Meeting with Friends at 6:30 pm EST: https://zoom.us/j/95111162408
Not at all. In theory, it could even help. I’m convinced that I have no bad in me. Everyone is like that. Playing a role, I need to find something like that in me. I could learn something about my nature, that actually I have all the characters in the whole world, including all the “bad ones.” Of course, to really clothe into them would be to understand that each one, however evil seeming, actually JUSTIFIES himself 1000%, believes himself to be righteous.
Hello, thank you for these wonderful teachings!
I have a question about how Kabbalah approaches the body, specifically, the body’s inherent intelligence and wisdom. As someone who spends a lot of time living in her head, I’ve come to discover embodiment as a profound tool for presence and attunement to the body’s cues. I’m also currently studying mind-body approaches to healing developmental trauma.
My question is this: Does Kabbalah offer teachings or practices that directly address the body as a source of knowing? And/or does Kabbalah work with the body as a vehicle for healing trauma? Thanks again! Mona
Hi Mona,
All that could be of value, like eating healthy, getting exercise, getting good sleep, and going to the doctor when one is sick, getting a good education, and so on. It all belongs not to the spiritual plane but to our world. There are known, unknown, and somewhat known laws in our world. But all of it, however important and valuable, is below what Kabbalah deals with. All of that takes place within and according to the property of the created being, that is in the property of the Will to Receive, and Kabbalah deals with what is above it: the property of Bestowal, which is the Creator’s quality.
