Ask anything about week 1 lesson and materials and get an answer from a senior Kabbalah instructor.

Dear instructors,

Can you explain me a bit more about the left and right line ? Maybe illustrate the difference between them with a concrete example? And what is meant with: moving forward with a proper combination of the right and left line, that is > advancing along the line that is exactly halfway between them ? Can you illustrate this also with a concrete example ? Many thanks!

Ilse from Belgium

Hi Ilse,

The right line is our aspiration towards love and bestowal.

The left line is our egoistic nature, the desire to receive for ourselves.

Working with the three lines means constantly aspiring to be in the right line, in the qualities of love and bestowal. As a result of that aspiration, we reveal more of the left line, how our egoistic nature does not allow us to truly bestow. As a result of that, we feel a need for the Creator to help us. After all, egoism is our very nature, we cannot just pull ourselves out of it, the Creator must do it for us. So the middle line is the revelation of the Creator.

So after going through this process of aspiring towards bestowal, revealing our nature resisting, praying for the Creator to help us, we reveal the Creator who pulls us out of our egoistic nature and gives us the ability to bestow.

That is beautifully explained Albert! It’s very clear for me now.

Many thanks, Ilse

Hello,

I guess the most difficult concept for me to understand what is meant by ‘spirit’. It seems to me our conscious is at the intersection of mind, body and spirit. It would seem to necessitate that a change in one effects the others.

I think the physical body is the easiest to define. The other two seem more mysterious to me.

 

Sincerely,

-Curtis

Hi Curtis,

All these things have different definitions in the wisdom of Kabbalah. Even the word body, depending on the context, does not necessarily refer to the physical body. Rather body in Kabbalah refers to to the desire to receive pleasure. And spirit/soul refers to the desire to receive pleasure that was corrected to operate in the direction of bestowal. Depending to what extent it was corrected, it reveals a different form of “spirit” and is given a different name. There are 5 levels in general: Nefesh, Ruach, Neshama, Haya, Yechida.

From this point of view, if we’re not yet corrected, we don’t yet have this thing called spirit/soul, only a soul in potential, which is the point in the heart.

How do we know we’re progressing?

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

Hi Marie,

We’re still in the preparation period prior to the spiritual ladder. But once we start to do real spiritual work, we can measure our progress in our attitude towards other points in the hearts. That I’ll feel how my attitude towards them changes, from complete indifference, all the way until I feel them as pieces of my soul. We’ll learn more about this in the more advanced lessons.

Hello,

I was wondering if the wisdom of kabbalah teaches about forgiveness.

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

Hi A,

From a simple corporeal level, we see that keeping strong negative feelings inside of us ultimately causes much harm to our health. So from that point of view, it is worthwhile to forgive others.

As for how Kabbalah relates to forgiveness, check out New Life episode 325 – Forgiveness. (the link leads to the summary of the episode and the picture on top leads to the full video.

I’m reading through the Kabbalah Revealed book and I’m wondering where Kabbalah ends and where Judaism starts? The Abraham origins seem identical?

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

Hi Anita,

Modern Judaism emerged when Kabbalah became concealed, which was around the time of the destruction of the second temple. Let’s put a few things into perspective to understand this:

Kabbalah is the method of correcting our egoistic nature and thereby revealing the Creator, the general force of love and bestowal. The first one to actualize this was Adam. His name gives us a hint at this since Adam comes from the Hebrew word “Dome”, meaning “similar to”. He was not the first one alive, but rather the first one to reveal the Creator by becoming similar to this quality of bestowal.

This wisdom gets passed onward from Adam until Abraham who adapted it to the people of his generation and made the wisdom more practical. Abraham put together a large group of Babylonians who were interested in actualizing this method. These people later on became the Israeli nation. The word Israel comes from the Hebrew words “Yashar” “El” meaning straight to God. These are the people who had an active point in the heart in those days and were interested in revealing the Creator.

These people greatly succeeded in this method. The peak of their success was symbolized in the building of the first and second temple, which reflected the level of unity and bestowal they were able to reach. At a certain point, they lost the spiritual connection between them (the destruction of the 2nd temple) and what remained was just these external symbols of their connection.

At this point the wisdom of Kabbalah became concealed. People still had the holy books, Torah and etc, but they did not know how to use them. Since the Torah is written in the language of roots and branches. Meaning it uses words of our world to describe spiritual phenomena. But if a person does not have this spiritual connection through which he can see this, then he thinks this book is talking about this world, history, morals, commandments, etc. From this emerges the Jewish religion.

Hi,

 

Did I get this right? You manifest what you hold in your vessel as its creating field where you ate as long you can create that focused energy in your mind? I feel need and desire to get closer to wisdom of Kabbalah and tree of life is already familiar through spirit itself. I see visions and holy books sometimes opens me that way and even cet telepathic messages as open that book and that page and there is exact answer what i was seeking for. That so beautiful, I trust higher guidance and as felt question in my field what you will do after basic needs is fulfilled. I have still need and desire to seek wisdom of Kabbalah, wisdom of this system how it works and be here and do what I can do be lined with my truth of what makes me happy in highest and purest form what would be creativity and helping others spread hope. As everyone has their bubbles of what life is many are struggling still with same issue’s what I did and its been so long time to get that answer is more than hope, its more like you need to see to have point of view outside of your bubble to be able step outside of bubble. I have this asking and then channeling answer in right a way as I wrote. Well you can say do you line with my truth? Reality form based of our bubbles and how we see life as eye is I and means how ego sees. Figured that out when reading The Kybalion and meditating phrase of “Lips of Wisdom are Closed except ears of understanding. There is nice trinity working together in tree of life. Knowledge, understanding and wisdom. There is mentioned 2 of those. Da´ath is sometimes hidden sephirot because its kind a portal to other side and who ever seeking that portal I warn you, you need have some level control and inner strength to face yourself though spirit worlds those whaths “lower” and whats “higher”. If that helps to use how its explained on earth. My truth is that in spirit world where is not so easy to point with nothing else than what you sense as density, frequency, colour seen through “6th sense” while traveling with merkaba. Been using all ancient writings what I sense linking to wisdom what been found. Me being honest, everyone can be sharing to others inner wisdom. Been found great wisdom from second Purana (Vedas) Im not Hindu, or if that makes me hindu then link me to every religious what we have on earth in same way. Spiritual knowledge makes me thirsty and thats why Im here also. Learning more point of views and I sense you as you can sense people in field. We are not so different at all. ascended descended ten becomes just visiting up and down not just once.

Hi Niina,

I’m not sure what you’re referencing. This forum is for questions based on the week 1 Kabbalah Revealed materials, do you have a question about that?

Also it’s important to keep in mind that it’s highly discouraged to mix spiritual methods. If we want to succeed in Kabbalah (or in any spiritual practice really) we should practice it without mixing other things into it. Otherwise it’s like following two different GPS systems. One leads you to the goal through the west highway, while the other through the east highway. If we follow both, we’ll just wind up going in circles.
