Hi!

I’m so grateful to finally be on this journey I didn’t realise I was seeking up until a few weeks ago 🙂 . I’m finishing my second semester of the course, and so far it’s made everything feel like it’s falling into place — life makes much more sense and I’m enthusiastic to learn more.

However, around the lesson “There is none but Him,” an intense feeling of emptiness appeared out of nowhere. I can’t explain it as a reaction to anything in my daily life — on the contrary, I’ve generally felt balanced. It is unlike anything I’ve experienced before. My usual self-regulating routines (painting, running, meditating, CBT, sleep, diet…anything) don’t touch it. In fact, as the beneficial effects of those actions fade, the void intensifies. When I focus on it, I get instantly overwhelmed (as if I am suddenly breathing the air with insufficient oxygen is best I can describe it). As someone with a counselling background, this is baffling to me. It’s an intense sense of lack that I can’t locate or rationally explain. If it’s related to the course, it doesn’t feel at all like what one would expect “drawing the Light” to feel like — rather the opposite. I might be missing or misinterpreting something. It’s starting to affect my daily life and is making it difficult to stay motivated. It’s been a few weeks and it’s wearing me down.

I’m not sure what this is, but it seems like it may need regulation on a spiritual level? If so, I would be grateful if you could share resources or advice to help me understand and address this state.

Thank you

Hi!o have been working on most desires.but with smoking I don’t know how to work with it above the reason that it is illegal here and I live in a constant fear of arrest however whenever I smoke weed and study or read I grasp matters .I don’t struggle with it but lacking it can cause me doubts in my path..how do I see the need for lishma even in  this ‘public loathsomeness’ …I m trying to get around my ego in any my argument with the habit…. I haven’t any issues with anyone yet but paranoia ghosts me daily tormenting me causing me to doubt my Faith or rather feeding the sitra(evil inclination).. Casting doubt as to whether hiding staff and my self is fear of nothing (idolatry) or if it is wisdom (such like as Jacob dealing with Esau (all the times).?Where do I classify this degree of doubt?…
Thanks

The truth is that all one’s desires are, by design, utterly for oneself, and all I can do is what’s called exchanging a cow for a donkey. I change this egoistic desire for another egoistic calculation. What I need is only to draw the Surrounding Light from the study and the work with the spiritual society. That will make the corrections. And a better focus from moment to moment is to try to be in the feeling that the Creator controls all of reality. Me, my thoughts, everything.

All my life ive had an issue with being insecure, about alot of things, weight, looks, culture etc, then as i grow older it has shifted to comparison, fear of failure, rejection, jealousy, not being enough, being replaced. I struggle ALOT with these thoughts and feelings and im exhuasted and tired of how it affects me and the people around me.

What can a person do to just not be insecure anymore?? How do we change the thoughts of fear and understadn where its coming from in the first place?

So my understanding is that there is no coincidence when fear/insecurity pops up the goal should be to seek the ends (the reason I’m feeling this?) and then come to a conclusion that it’s because of the creator testing me and then feel there is none else besides him?

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

You won’t know the reason because you don’t sense the forces that stand behind this picture, but yes, your response should be to address what you must according to the ways of our world, but relate internally to them as if they come from a single Upper Force.

So last two nights ive had strange dreams

1. im at work and a cable brekas and come in contact with water…it explodes and starts burning, i immideatly run aroudn the store and the break room and tell people to run out, i dont know if its relevant but i specifically remember me and one collegau when we have told everyone, and i say to her dont be a hero we need to get out, and she listenes, then cut to me standing on one of those ladders on the side of the building with flames all orund me and people scrraming get down…but i just give up,

2(same night). A person is berating me for all the mistakes ive made in connection to his family

when i woke up aftere these dreams i had alot of anxiety and feeling broken (like givien up) and it was right in my chest and stomach

 

3. Tonight i dreamt that i was in a camp i go to every year, and in the distance i see a dark tornade that came all the way from america to my country adn its headed straight to us, so onec again i run around find everyone, me and my friend gahter poeple, and we make sure everyone goes down very very far in this big house to safety, i dont remember as much deatil of this dream but also this strong anxiety in the stomach, why do i keep ending up in natural disasters is it spiritual?

I developed past lives because sometimes it’s easier to externalize when we struggle to internalize. Sometimes it’s better to forgive someone else, when we struggle to forgive ourselves. Then we realize that we are one. Is it true? It doesn’t matter. What does is, it’s healing. And the best way to realize a past life, is to see what was always there, but we never noticed.

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

I don’t know about past lives. It’s something very different than what we can imagine. It’s as if a person, the way he is now, didn’t have past lives. It wasn’t him. That’s why now – no – I can’t work correctly with it. I need to accept the “focus” that Nature intentionally gave me: this body in particular + a Point in the Heart that wants to rise above it to the spiritual world. There, I’ll connect with all that I ever have been and will be, eternally. That’s the true healing.

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

Dreams are simply how all that we’ve gone through during the day – what we went through or could not realize or process – is organized for us into compartments so that we can start fresh the next day. Here is what Rav Laitman says in a blog post:

Question from Facebook: What is a dream, and what happens to the soul during sleep?

Answer: A dream is a purely physiological state of the beastly body, which has no relation to spirituality.

Rest is typical not only for humans but also for animals and plants. This suggest the need to alternate between two states, on and off, like the alternation of day and night.

Question: What happens to the soul during sleep?

Answer: A person has no soul! He is simply an animal that has only a bud (point) that can be developed with the help of studying the wisdom of Kabbalah, and then within him he will begin “to cultivate,” to grow, a spiritual organ called a soul. But this is only to the degree that a person carries out serious work on himself.

Moreover, he cannot carry this out alone but only in a society in which all the points are connected together, and that is how they create one single point that is composed of ten, which is called a spiritual Minyan (group of ten).

So, within the group of ten, by nullifying themselves and connecting together, they will begin to feel a spiritual force, a spiritual state. A connection like this is called a “soul,” within which the state of the next level is already felt, called the upper world.

But when a person just goes to sleep, this is a natural, beastly state that arises as a result of an internal overload of all the thoughts, emotions, memories, and so forth.

So during sleep, as a rule, we connect with what happened during the daytime because our thoughts are reloaded and sink internally to a deeper level of memory, and we feel this as dreams, which can take on different forms because they are cut off from egoistic desires. They are no longer found within the desires, but in thoughts above the desires.

There are states when dreaming that we can sense the future, but this has no connection to the wisdom of Kabbalah. There are some people who feel this more, others feel it less, and there are people like Wolf Messing, who feel the future in general, not necessarily during sleep. But this is absolutely irrelevant to the spiritual world, to the soul. Everyone has a bud for the beginning of the soul, but it is necessary to develop it. The wisdom of Kabbalah is waiting for you.

Hello,

How are decisions made in a ten? Usually, we discuss the matter together, then vote, and the majority decision prevails. Is this the correct approach?

 

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

Democracy is not spiritual and is not a form that exists in Gmar Tikkun (the end of correction). But in the meantime, you can do it. It’s only more correct than a dictatorship. But we want our work in the ten to be similar to spiritual states. So, the ideal is that each one shares his opinion, knowing that his opinion couldn’t turn out to be the final opinion. It can only add to the pile. And after we integrate completely with each friend who adds to the friend who came before him, we arrive at a group opinion, something that belongs to no individual.
