“Everyone has different root of the soul” – I heard this a multiple couple of times within 3 years I am here, in SMWF last time. I asked about this, but there came a response like “walking in circles like a drunk man, without an answer”. So I ask again: what does it mean that everyone has a different root of the soul, and what can what read to come closer to the wisdom of which root of the soul he has, and what can one do if his soul was raped and linked to a toxic foreign root of the soul, which is opposite of his own, he and his soul is only a source of norishment of inferiour souls of probably Tuma’a and how can he be delivered from this condition coming and being linked to his own nature-soul?
There isn’t such a thing. What happens to this body is like what happens in the jungle to animals. Nothing more than that. Nothing happens in this world except to inch a person closer to reaching the root of his soul. What is the root of my soul? I can’t know or compare it to anything that I do know because there is nothing in our mind, heart, or world that is similar to the root of the soul. The root of your soul is found in the ten. You have to connect to them in heart, and there you will discover the root of your beautiful soul.
Lets say one have all friends in the ten in the heart (anyway) – is this considered as being connected? If one implements the exercise Rav described in the ML from 28th Nov 2025 (recording from 2020 I think) is it considered connection, even if the friends are not consciously agreeing to the connection? And if it is considered as being connected – is it possible that one discovers his root of the soul if not all friends do at the same time? And how can one know in which structure (and what parameters it has) ?
About knowing:
I’ve already read many blogposts from Rav, which other sources are describing closer the topic ‘root of the soul’? Found no source from Rabash or Baal HaSulam.
If I already have all my friends filling my heart, so that there is no reality in the world except for the friends, then I’m already in the spiritual worlds, in the revelation of the root of my soul. If my heart still is filled with my own desires, then that’s reflected as my world, and I’m in the corporeal world.
Other than those Rav blogs about the root of the soul, there are not many writings. The ARI says something about it in Gate to Reincarnation (I don’t trust the English translation), but it’s written for those who are in spiritual attainment. Rabash says something about it here: https://kabbalahmedia.info/en/sources/8HGXFFx3
But the root of the soul is found in the right connection with one’s ten, and in no other place, as with all the concepts in Kabbalah.
And what can one do, that tens would reflect THIS TREMENDOUS DESIRE OF COMING FORWARD ON THIS PATH IN THIS METHOD EXPERIENCING AND ACHIEVING THE DESCRIBED THINGS IN THIS THREAD, and not feed on the energy of Kedusha in order to be right and to get honor on the costs of Kedusha!? Can YOU, INSTRUCTOR FRIENDS guide them to that desire respectivley help them to grow the right desire? Can YOU instead of them go above reason correcting within you what needs to be corrected, so that they will desire that? An, in this case, reflect this my desire and need!? I thought it is a delegation from Baal HaSulam, Rabash and Rav to do so!? I still trust is possible! Thank you ❤️🙏
Right!
“I also can’t do the correction for anyone. In fact, even if I could, it would be forbidden to interfere.” That’s why finally my first question came up, if a soul can be “linked to a wrong root”. I can only achieve the root of my soul I thought. Or are some souls kept “slaves” for other roots?
and also the experience came again up I’ve done everything I could, which repeats itsself – and this is again a prayer! I can’t correct what I don’t own, and also I am not able to be the only one person in the world existing and doing all this. We’re “more” persons, seemingly separated and is about to become deliberately one.
“The friends are a reflection of my uncorrected qualities, and until I correct myself, I’m going to see my friends as uncorrected.” And this is to be said and respected by every-body in the work following same method, right? Seemingly “being a body”. Otherwise it doesn’t work.
So how can we come to equalize the grade of the strength of desire to achieve Dvekut and how can we truly want/desire and not only creating the impression as if we would want but in fact we don’t. And even for connection is same – do we REALLY want to connect, or do we only create an impression we would want? At this point – I lose patience over again, where I have to kinda kill my desire, otherwise is painful to carry it. It makes no sense that it grows more, it is already huge, and not fullfilled. What do?
I can’t do the work with respect to you. But you must do the work with respect to them. That is your work. While what you asked of me, is not my work. It is not forbidden for you: correct your vessels and reveal that the whole world is in perfection, except for you.
There are many Kabbalistic sayings about this, that the world is inside you, was created only for you, that it’s all a reflection of you…
So, the answer will never change. These are the friends. They await me to correct myself, and it is not that they first need to correct themselves.
I need to be as Yosi Ben Kisma. He was a great Kabbalist and yet even he knew that he had to lower himself before his students, if he wished to advance. Though they were small, confused. Still, there was no other choice, no other hope for him.
That’s interesting. So, all that is missing is for the friends to correct themselves? I heard that a person always has to say the opposite, that “the friends are already corrected, and it is only I who needs to correct myself. The friends are a reflection of my uncorrected qualities, and until I correct myself, I’m going to see my friends as uncorrected.”
I also can’t do the correction for anyone. In fact, even if I could, it would be forbidden to interfere. I’m extremely limited. The Creator Himself is limited here. This is where there is a space for free choice, and thus actually reaching equivalence with the Creator.
Hi Gianni. A question arose from one of our friends concerning what we thought Lo Lishma vs Lishma means. I have heard many words and contexts for an answer to this from Rav and our teachers, but we struggled as a group to agree on a best common answer. I am hoping you can shed some light for us to use to reach agreement on? Thank you!
“I was thinking about how we can keep our friends in mind at all times. One way is for each friend to ask a question in turn. The rest of the group can then take that question and direct it to the Creator, asking how we can bring the friends closer to Him and how we can please Him through it. During the gathering with the friends, we would begin with these questions, helping everyone stay connected and focused together.”
Please, I would need an advice on that.
At what point do we graduate from the Graduate Courses? Are we encouraged to engage in the GE and the Morning Lessons, or just the Morning Lessons?
Hi Ed,
There are 2 rounds of Young Group. After that, you may elect to continue participating in the graduate program as a student or supporter while attending morning lessons, or you may decide to have your center of mass be more in the Bnei Baruch side than the KabU side. So, there’s the 2 rounds of Young Group that everyone goes through, after which you have more freedom to “study where one’s heart desires.”
During a class or the morning lesson I feel good like I’m progressing. I soon after feel empty or darkness I can’t really describe it. Do you have a suggestion for this “state” or what is happening ? Thanks Gianni
Hi Marina,
During a lesson, it is possible that the Rav is providing some level of – let’s just say – a covering for you. The lesson is primarily his work. After the lesson, we need to implement everything we heard. You were given at least some tiny feeling of the states the Rav was mentioning. Now, you need to aspire to those states. Nothing will happen on its own. I have to move myself, with a prayer to the Upper Light, toward states of greater connection with the friends, to actual love between us.
If we are pressured by the surrounding light and the kli empties… and we are exposed to this emptiness, the darkness…and all it feels like is that basically all we can achieve is separation and darkness, because we have nothing to give, and we don’t have the faith to truly overcome , because all we feel is the lack… what is the flaw in this? How do we correct our perception? How can we have faith when we don’t feel connection, creator, whatsoever…?
Are we talking about the actions we hear about in the Upper World, like in Adam Kadmon? Those are not states of darkness. Even if we’re talking about our work…you started with “we are pressured by the Surrounding Light and the Kli empties…” Those are already beautiful spiritual states where we’re already in the Upper Worlds. There is no darkness there. Once the Kli tastes the inner light, it weakens us – because we want to bestow more – and we have to leave the state. It happens that that’s the closest to Equivalence with the Creator that we can be, for now.
The darkness in our state is that we both wouldn’t choose this state, and furthermore, disagree with it fairly completely. But this reality is for me to have an opportunity to study myself: the still, vegetative, animate, speaking is a demonstration of what’s inside of me. That’s why it is written love your friend as yourself, which helps you correct your inner vessel, shown to you as if it’s outside of you. We have to very seriously integrate with the friends, to see this.
Then, eventually you reach a state where you feel, in the ten, and only there, in a Partzuf, the bitush of panim and makif (striking of the Surrounding Light and the Inner Light), that some of the Light must stay outside, and so on. This is already not a state of darkness, whether Lights goes in or out or stays outside…
