There are some in my ten that have a problem when something said in Kabu is different than what Rav has said. One member even seemed to quit one time because of it and then came back and is now on strike because of it. Last young group class I think it was talked about men not having to get married to study kabbalah and Rav saying men have to be married according to my friend. He (my friend) also said the “Sages” don’t agree with what was discussed in Kabu. I tried to get to the bottom of it with rational questions but they were not answered clearly and concisely enough for me to get an exact idea of what is going on (And I am thinking may be the wrong way to go about it anyhow.) And now he is on strike and others seem upset (although they say they are not upset, so that adds to the confusion). What should I do? What should I have done?
Hi Todd,
Both suppositions are true. It’s true that you have to accept everyone. Rabash did this; Rav did this. At some point, though, we need to know that we’re in laws of nature that never change, and one such law dictates that while he can certainly study, and he should study, if he’s not married, he’ll be studying essentially with half of the desire that he has to correct; and the other half, he’ll have to eventually find, and correct as well. But no one should use such sticking points as excuses to delay their advancement. Go ahead and continue, and remember the advice of Rabash, “It is not that the friends should love me; rather it is I who must come to love the friends.”
If i cannot describe with words out loud to my ten what is in my heart, does this means that I am not yet in attainment of it, the “thing” I’d be trying to describe? Or is this simply a deficiency of knowledge which can be remedied by studying? In the first case it could be that if I cannot describe, then I’ve not yet attained. In the second case I may well have attained but I lack the permission to share it. Or maybe there is some other third case, i don’t know. Hopefully this question makes sense… I’ve been struggling to express myself recently…
A friend in my ten is introducing to us a book that another ten has been studying called “The Secrets of the Eternal Book” in order for us to do the same thing. Does reading the book with the ten help us to advance?
Hi Gianni, I have got a question about forming the right intention in our daily life. It´s important for me to understand, as I feel it´s the point where I either get connected or disconnected… and I am only starting to learn what it means. There were suggestions in some sessions to become aware of one´s intention, to turn it outwardly, towards the friends, but also to become aware of the creator in the corporeal world, to acknowledge him there (i.e. everything comes from above) and turn to him as some inner work. What is the right intention to do that in corporeal life?
I searched for the Unification Poem mentioned in Shamati 7. Do you know of any English translation of it? My search came up dry…
