It means that instead of having an intention to please the Creator, my intention is only to please myself.
My question is, why was there no mention of reading the Torah in any of the courses? Does not the knowledge of Kabbalah come out of the Torah? Does not zohar pay to PRDS Torah? I did not see anything about Shabbat and Halachot and Mitzvot in the courses!
The KabU courses study the writings of Baal HaSulam and Rabash. The reason for this is that their writings explain kabbalah for our generation, the generation that is beginning to feel the maximum growth of the ego. In particular, the writings of Rabash tell us how to enter the spiritual path from our current state. The writings of kabbalists in the past were basically for communication with other kabbalists, those who had already entered spiristuality.
In retrospect to your 12-2-2021 SMWF session: as always I admire your encompassing, tender presentation , creating a feeling of togetherness. My problem, and only my problem: What is really real and what is faking it, because Tony (Kosinec) also stresses the importance of loving your friends more than yourself, even if you don’t feel it that way. (So fake it).
Fake it, OK, but how does it works, while it feels so corrupted, not being thruthfull?
Hello Paul.
If I don’t feel the love towards the Friends, that is really the fake reality. We are immersed in an infinite sea of love – we just don’t perceive it yet. So, when we create an atmosphere of love of Friends, whether or not we feel that way at the moment, we are participating in the truth.
I sent your post to Zohar and he adds this: part of our learning and growing process even in corporeality is to “play” the advanced state, and this way we prepare ourselves for the “real” thing.
And of course we understand that we don’t like the word “fake”, so just call it “act”, and we do that all the time, we “act” in a good mood for our children to present them a loving front, we act before our boss as if we are glad to do our job even when we don’t feel that way because it benefits us, and so on.
My question is regarding a passage in the article Peace In The World. “If we take for example the attribute of Mercy in it’s abstract form, we find that its government contradicts all other attributes, meaning that by the laws of the rule of Mercy, there is no place for the appearance of other attributes in the world.” Question: What does by the laws of the attribute of Mercy mean? What are laws of attributes? Thank you for your time and support.
Hi Ty, The language of branches is an allegorical language used by kabbalists to communicate with each other. Here is a link to Dr. Laitman’s blog on the subject: https://laitman.com/category/language-of-branches-2/. As for my unique spiritual root, the only way I’ll know what that means, or what it is, is to enter the spiritual world and find out for myself. Our corporeal words are incapable of describing spiritual things, that’s why the kabbalists resort to allegory.
Hi Ty, here’s my take on what Baal HaSulam is saying: If I have a certain attribute, say for instance I am a stingy person, the law of that attribute will dictate that I don’t want to share with others. So, should I attain the attribute of Mercy, the desire to only do good to others, this trumps all my other attributes. In other words, the law of Mercy is such that it puts an intention to do good on top of my actions that stem from all my other attributes.
