Hello, i have a question
In the Kabbalah Revealed course,
Tab “Start here”.
Section “Course preparation Material”.
This video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hj9ulXfaXn8&t=1941sI am watching the secret number 3 and I do not understand this very well. Through the content of Secret number 3, I am understanding that a person taps on the point in the heart and then he begins to develop his soul and has a soul.
My question is: So for those who do not have a soul, have not awakened the point in the heart in this life, then in the next lives, do they still have other lives through which they have the opportunity to awaken the point in the heart and develop their soul?
In other words, it means that although the Point in that person’s heart is like a seed and that seed has not sprouted in this life. Through many other lives, at some point it will sprout and grow into a soul, right?
Thank you~
Hi To,
Yes, if a person has not fully realized their point in the heart in this life, that same spiritual potential will continue to reincarnate again and again until it gets fully realized.

In one of the additional videos, one of the three principles of Kabbalah is the transience of desire; that is, the enjoyment disappears once the desire is fulfilled. But doesn’t it really depend on the desire? Yes, if someone desired some sort of flashy car (an example from the video), they would probably lose the enjoyment fairly quickly — but if someone desired just some car (because it significantly improves the quality of life where they live), wouldn’t they enjoy it as long as it works. Another example: I’ve been married for about 35 years, and our enjoyment (with all its ups and downs) only grows. Or: I had a rather unexpected, very ad hoc, desire to sign up for the Kab U membership, but I am enjoying it more and more every day… 🙂 To sum up, it feels like there must be some “qualifications” on the principle that the enjoyment of receivership subsides once the desire is fulfilled…
Hi Elena,
I think food is the best example to illustrate this point. I get a lot of pleasure from eating cake. The first two slices are delicious. Third slice I barely enjoy it and I’m already a little nauseous from it. Fourth slice already starts to hurt my stomach. Fifth slice and I might just throw it all up.
From this example we see that there is a limit to how much pleasure we can receive from each desire. Even if we try to fulfill that desire more, it wont necessarily lead to more pleasure. And if we pass that limit, not only do we stop enjoying it, we can even start to feel pain instead of pleasure.
And of course there are nuances to each desire, even for cake, I can eat a slice a day instead of the whole thing, etc. But that’s not the point we’re making. The point is that our desires are limited and thereby the pleasure we get from each desire is limited. In Kabbalah on the other hand, we learn how to tap into an infinite desire and thereby can experience pleasure on a completely different level.

Hi Don,
Not necessarily. There are those that study and then there are those who simply use the results of the study. Similar to how there are a handful of scientists that invent something new whereas the rest of the world just uses their invention without even knowing how it works. So those with active points in the heart are the scientists that delve deep into the wisdom of Kabbalah and develop the method by which the whole world can reach peace.

In the video, Tony said “Kabbalah started with Abraham”. Can we unpack this a bit? Where did Abraham get this wisdom from? In what form did it already exist and what did Abraham do with it for us to say that Kabbalah “started” with him. How do we know all of this?
Hi Alex,
Kabbalah actually started with Adam close to 6000 years ago. The reason why we sometimes attribute it to Abraham is because Abraham was a major milestone in the Wisdom of Kabbalah who turned it into a practical method.

As for how we know all this, we learn about it from the Kabbalists. The Kabbalists are the scientists of Kabbalah. Everything we know is based on their research.

Does this apply to humanity or individuals as well (the path), I’d say both, but I would like to clarify.
Also I feel that there are many parallels to basic spiritualism, is that true?
Hi Szilvia,
The path is open to anyone who wants it.
As for parallels, I’m not an expert in other methods, so I cannot comment on that. In general, it’s best not to draw parallels between what is taught here vs what is taught in other places. Such things might turn us into good scholars but it wont turn us into good practitioners of Kabbalah.
Practicing what is taught here is best done without mixing anything else into it. Like trying to replicate a science experiment. And if we start mixing in other methods, we will not reach the desired results.
