What is the difference between humble and humility?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

I’d say they’re pretty similar. Can’t really find a place to differentiate.

Is being humble mean thinking that Im ugly, stupid, not happy etc?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Being humble means not using the ego. Where the ego wants to dominate, where it asks all the questions and demands the answers–we instead want the quality of bestowal to govern us.

Does reality more pleasurable than the unreal?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

It is known that the purpose of creation is that His desire is to do good to His creations. Accordingly, the created beings should have received the delight and pleasure. Yet, we must understand that the delight and pleasure that the Creator wishes to give to the created beings is not the same delight and pleasure that is appropriate for beasts, but what is appropriate for humans. We must believe what the ARI says, that all the corporeal pleasures extend only from what fell through the breaking of the vessels (that were in the world of Nekudim), when holy sparks fell from there into the Klipot [shells/peels]. But the main pleasures are in Kedusha, and they are called “the holy names.”

Hello,

Can I ask a question please? Probably answered somewhere else…

How do KabU / the masters view Jesus, Mohammad, John the Baptist, mother Mary… both literally and conceptually?

Thanks,

Jonathan

Hey Jonathan,

The Kabbalistic sources don’t mention them. Certainly they were important to the development and evolution of humanity in many ways, but as far as relating to Kabbalah–there is no relation.

Thanks!

Chris

i asked about this before and i tried to think about it for a while but i want to be more specific about what bothers me.  it’s about how laitman wants censorship laws.  if we censor people, who and how does one decide what things can be censored and what things can’t be?  my main problem is that i can’t stop thinking of how i expected laitman to say something more like “on this level we fight and all the things we do on this level, but that the goal is something above that, that does not change the lower level things.”  you know what i mean?  why does he think we can’t defend ourselves in this way?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Hey Michael,

I’m not certain of the context here, so I’m not sure what you mean by censoring laws but if the most important thing is spiritual development, meaning recognizing our evil nature and complementing that with the need for correction, then everything in our society will change as a result. Making changes to society without the need for this change being real and accepted, then certainly it would only harm. I imagine he was referring to a re-education of society and the gradual process this necessitates.

If you need more let me know, thanks!
