Can language corrupt our soul, or our point in the heart? Since we are – or to become – on the human, speaking level. How to deal with alternative facts, or on the other end, telling thruth in the form of a lie? What is the best way to deal with speaking from your heart, and seeing disruption sometimes as a result?
Usually – not good to speak “from the heart”. To reveal what’s in my heart? – What’s in there besides egoism? Better to make a calculation: now – calculatedly – I am revealing x, y, and z because of such and such reasons. And not that I just reveal what’s in my heart because it is there in my heart and wants to come out. No. Nothing gets out without an intention for why I should bring it out. The reason can never be me. The reason has to be because it would bring contentment to that which is outside me.
Dear KabU, How do we access the study material which Mike refers to at the end of the lesson relating to Dec 8, 2022 – Ibur – the Process of Creation | Graduate Class? There is no link or attachments in the ‘study material’ on the grad platform. thanks Lyndon S
Probably this, and from this page you can find all lesson materials topics: https://kabbalahmedia.info/likutim/T0Agcu45
Hi Lyndon. I asked Mike about this. He referred me to Beth Shillington. Here is her reply:
“I don’t know. I would write to [email protected]”
Is it (always) clear how to determine a desire, which one is to receive in order to bestow and which one is to bestow in order to bestow? In other words, can we sense the quality of the desire? Are we capabel of that, or are we seeing only our limitations?
Hello Paul. A desire is just a desire. The “in order to” part is the intention attached to that desire. In our present state all of our desires have the intention of “in order to please me”. In spirituality the intention is “in order to please anyone but me”. There are two main degrees of this spiritual state – bestowing in order to bestow, and receiving in order to bestow. To actually know what this means we will have to enter the spiritual world and feel it ourselves. That is our goal.
Hello Sauli, here’s a reply from Zohar:
Welcome to the Graduate Environment. We are very glad you are with us.
The GE currently consists of six interactive components, and you can use all or some of them.
The heart of the Graduate Environment is the Young Group. You will be receiving an email assigning you to your group soon as these courses start every few months.
In the meantime, you can participate in all the other classes we have to offer (you choose how many of them you want to participate in)
Tuesday’s “A Sage Speaks” taught by Seth Breitman covers Baal HaSulam’s articles, and he has been going through the Preface to the Wisdom of Kabbalah lately.
Thursday’s “Grad Class” with Mike Kellogg explores aspects of Kabbalah that Kabbalist Dr. Michael Laitman taught during the week.
On Sunday’s, “Sunday meeting with Friends”, hosted by Zohar, is a chance to ask any questions about our work and study in kabbalah and learn all sorts of fascinating topics.
and, “Weekly Portion of Light” taught by a rotating lineup of top instructors brings amazing Kabbalistic topics relevant to our path.
Also, you have access to the “Forum” where you can post any questions you have, and they will be answered by KabU instructors.
In the event you missed, or want to watch again, a particular class, all are recorded and archived, click on any of our courses, go to past lessons and you can access them.
As you have heard, joining a ten is a very important part of Kabbalah. Once you have been assigned to your Young Group, about 4-5 weeks into the semester, the YG will be divided into tens and you will work with this 10 throughout the course.
Use the Graduate Environment how it works best for you, some, or all.
Enjoy and Connect
Hi teachers,
I am very thankful for the weekend Congress…. I was not always able to connect in the right time. My feelings was to get everything as I possible could every day as I wanted to understand why there was so much talk about our “dark” feelings and love our friends before oneself. I got a lot of mixed feelings about this topic, which came up inside me.. and more I wanted to listen and follow the Congress as I want to understand the problem. And to day it became clear to me that it all had to do with me…. I felt pain and joy and now after several of hours I feel free and joyful. Rav Laitman is doing a good work…(and you too)… Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Dear KabU,
I just watched Mike Kellogg’s Grad. Class [1st December]. The subject to do with annulling one’s personality such as our own views, opinions, tastes and desires as these are all in error as they are a function of ones Will to Receive. This is palatable to me, I can go that far to accept this.
However, Mike went on to discuss an old ‘chestnut’ of mine which is a great obstacle to me. When seeing such dire circumstances in this world one cannot be moved by this and that within the blink of an eye I too could befall a tragedy but when I put on the television this is so apparent seeing humanity in a multitude of dire circumstances undergoing unimaginable pain. How could I ever come to terms with this? I mean, I cannot accept that an all beneficent creator should let us all live in these circumstances and all so vulnerable, I just can’t see this and feel I never will come to terms with the view that ‘he is the good that does good’. I had considered Mike’s class and I was going to bed no further forward with this to then see a short clip on the TV about Haiti falling into complete chaos and vigilantism being rife with personal accounts so graphic I cannot ever accept the notion of the goodness of the creator and when I ever consider his ‘greatness’ I feel so ashamed that I am spared a lot of the tragedy befalling so many, then fear that I could befall life’s tragedies and then I feel dreadful that I could ever say to someone who is living in terrible circumstances of the ‘great creator’.
It doesn’t add up to me and I’m stuck with this one. How could one ever turn aside from humanities great pain on the premise that one’s own life is ok [and i am so luck] and then put any credence on the notion of an all good creator when so many live dreadful lives.
Sorry to be heavy thanks. Lyndon S
No, the Creator agrees that you will see Him as bad in your regular senses. You mean I don’t agree to this stage of the correction process? During which the Creator’s actions will appear as more and more evil? They tell us in advance that merciful women will eat their babies. And that’ll be considered normal Before that happens, we can develop the additional senses needed to perceive the whole and complete reality. It’s like I’m at the best restaurant in the world, but I have taste buds for only salt and hot peppers. I taste something horrific there. Those are part of the whole, and they go wonderfully with the whole, but in isolation…
I want to “fix” what’s outside me. Over in India or somewhere. I’m told that that is not over in India; it’s inside me. But for now, to be merciful, I’m let to see it as if it’s way over there in India. You want the consequences of the lack of correction that is in you to be exacted immediately – then all the atrocities in the world will happen to you. For now, I get to see them as if they are far away. Will I respond and correct myself or will I wait until it’s not in India but in my own country? And then in my city. And then on my street. At my door.
Wise is the person who can read the Creator’s language and react appropriately. This is His kindness to us, to provide this room for free choice. But He will not give up on the changes He’s expecting us to do on the inside. If we don’t decisively wake up, He gives increasingly loud warning bells.
