Hi Johan,
Kabbalah explains that, like all forms of suffering–mental diseases as well are manifestations of spiritual imbalances. Why some suffer from this disease while others from other diseases, we can’t really know this at the moment. We do know that we’re all connected and all part of a single spiritual organism and each individual part has its own very specific role in that organism which it must live out and fulfill–either in this lifetime or the next.
Certainly, if there is any mental issue, then we have to remember the order of the “permission” that was given to doctors to heal. Which just means the Creator created this whole network with these being dependent on those and this part organizes and this part feeds etc.. So if there is an issue that needs to be treated, it needs to be treated professionally.
Hope that helps, thanks!

Hello guys, I was asked on another day to join a live meeting about a baal hasulam´s letter. I attended the meeting, but I didn’t understand a single word about what was being read in the letter of baal hasulam. Would you tell me what happened? Why wasn’t I able to get what was being said?
Hey Johan,
That sounds about right! As a beginner, you’re basically learning a new language. The words are probably mostly familiar, but nothing makes sense. Over time, the more you read, the more you’re exposed to these writings, the more you’ll begin to absorb the content of what’s being said. It does take time. It may seem daunting at first, but that’s like anything else that’s new.
I promise you’ll break through with time and those layers will begin to peel back and you’ll see the gems of wisdom. Best of luck!
I got my virtual tickets, is there any homework/readings for the retreat, any other participation ? or just sit back, enjoy the show And feel the connection?
Hi Brad,
Great question!
The excitement is growing, the Retreat is coming closer, and our desire to connect is growing too. Your preparation is exactly this anticipation of the Retreat and being together with friends from all over the world, studying, and working together as ONE.
You will receive detailed information (Zoom link, schedule) closer to the event, and the preparation is our INTENTION and DESIRE to connect!!
Looking forward to seeing you there.

I am new and I translate English. 1) I want to start Kabbalah from scratch. Where should I start? 2) What does the Kabbalah tree and its underground means mean?
Hi Nasrin,
A good way to start your studies in Kabbalah is by taking our course Kabbalah Revealed 1, https://kabuconnect.com/courses/kabbalah-revealed-part-1/. The course is in English though.
Best,
Michelle
Hello! I am wondering what should be the right attitude when facing with situations where you have to stand for yourself and defend your rights in this World. Is this also considered to be egoistic?
Hi Alexandra,
We exist in a reality we didn’t choose to be born into. The laws of nature which govern everything from how atoms bond with one another to what governmental leaders are chosen–all exist in this same “bubble”. Human beings, particularly in these later generations are more disconnected from this awareness and therefore we see a world that seemingly ruled by human intervention when certainly this is not the case. Our eyes see multiple forces and not one single force that governs all of reality.
Referring to your question, it sounds like it’s coming from a place where the source of a problem originates in a place other than that single governing force. According to Kabbalah, the approach is always from this perspective that any corruption in our world stems only from our disconnected perception of this single force, which then also points to the only solution–a remedied perception. Therefore, a kind of “forceful” change to the all kinds of “governing bodies” in our world–positions in office and lawmakers etc., is similar to cutting our a cancer without identifying the root cause and treating that instead.
Kabbalah teaches us that this approach is futile since anything that occurs in our world is a reflection of what is occurring in the upper worlds–the causal world, the world of forces. If we want to see a change in this world, we go to the root and change it from there. In this case, that would be the correcting the only corruption which is our disconnection of our sensation of the upper force which is the only reason we feel all kinds of pressures in this world, to push us to that understanding and make the correction at the root level.
So to answer your question, you could say it’s “egoistic” since with this approach we’re only concerned about making life in this world better as opposed to actually taking notice to what nature wants from us by giving us these pressures in the first place, but it might be more accurate to say that attitude or approach is “outdated”–meaning, that’s how our world progressed and developed egoistically, but now that the world is closer than ever to the recognition of the true evil, our egoistic nature, everything that’s happening is only in order to bring us to that awareness which means we need to act in the place nature wants us to act, in correcting our attitude towards one another and towards the upper force and not in the way we’ve been reacting until now.
Hope that helps!

Hello,
Can i ask how a bigger ego helps with your spiritual growth? And how is this in line with being humble? (For example in Micah 6:8)
Classic question, Anna.
Yes. Well, when we’re referring to a “bigger ego” it could mean a few things. It could be referring to the fact that the point in the heart is awakened because this is the start of the biggest desire. Sure, a person can have food, sex/family, shelter, money, power and knowledge all filled up, but if they still feel like they’re missing something–this indicates that the ego wants even more–the spiritual world.
It could also be referring to a more advanced stage where each spiritual degree reveals greater uncorrected desire. The battle to want to use this for our own sake is always present and these great desires are nothing compared to the desires we feel in corporeality.
Being humble might be interpreted as needing to “shrink” the desire so I “want less”, “eat less” etc., but developing our inner, spiritual reality requires us to expand and work above what is revealed to us–meaning to use what’s revealed with a completely different intention. Greater desire requires a greater Masach or “screen” to keep us from using the intention in order to receive.
Being humble most likely is referring to not being proud in front of the Creator–not to think that I can do something alone–without the Creator’s help, or that He and “some other force” exists in the world. It could also refer to lowering oneself, meaning to acquire greatness of the Creator instead of greatness of myself.
Thanks!
