How is it possible to develop the sixth sense organ? Is it necessary to read Kabbalah books such as the Book of Zoar?
I´ve been reflecting on the word suffering. The way I see it suffering is an indistuingishable part of what it means to be human. Sometimes suffering is meaningful – like when a loved one disappears but new ways of experiencing life is gained, or, another example, grief, which for me serves as a reminder of death. Sometimes though it feels like certain kinds of suffering is meaningless/pointless.
I would like for you (teachers as well as participants) to give me some reflections on suffering in relation to Kabbalah.
Thank you!
Julius,
No other creature on Earth has a mirror like we do, meaning our mind.
We can reflect on myself today and what happened and by that I can adjust my actions for the future to ensure a better tomorrow. This is unique to man.
It turns out that all of our thoughts and actions come to us from our ancestors, our upbringing and our society which constantly influence us and tell us what to focus on.So the kabbalists advise us to plant ourselves in a spiritual environment and by this we will start to perceive a reality above this material world and things in this world take on a different form and meaning.

When we talk about the ‘ladder’ from above to below and from below to above, and our movement upon it makes me think of the story of Jacob’s Ladder from the Older testament of the Bible. I have been taught that many of these stories in the Bible are symbolic stories which point to those activities we should be trying to live in our lives. So would Jacob’s ladder be a source of understanding this teaching of ‘above to below and below to above’ ?
Thank you
Phil
Phil,
Yes.
Here is an article from our teacher Rav Laitman.

Hello, a simple question please.
The will to bestow is also described as Unconditional Altruism. Is this a similtude for unconditional love? How should we define Unconditional Altruism and is this the same as unconditional love?
In response to Ludumo, again. I ve also heard that the only thing created was the KLI, the vessel to receive. So I m beginning to understand what Seth said. That all these things are different levels of the emmenations?
Maybe, the first thing was created, and there was a cascade down from that, to include all these others ?Again, I m wondering how far this goes in being an answer?
HI, I m feeling a disconnect .
We are learning about a way to change our perceptions, and this is all new territory, and is being described in intellectual language. I guess that’s our doorway in. But what we’re being told about the forces that govern reality is that they are totally benevolent and loving.
Am I just jumping the gun here? but in any case, I m very aware that my heart is not open, as I d like it to be, & it would be be good to know if this is something that we will be getting to? Thank you.
