Also, one thing I haven’t come across or at least I don’t recall is where does all this knowledge come from. Was this inate knowledge that people of that era had because of a bicamoral conscious that gave them some inner sight? Was it “divine revelation”. I get the historical background and many of the tools are neat and the goals are great but where did those people get their knowledge? “Divine revelation “?.
I guess my question is how do I know this isn’t the random tought of someone on some drug induced vision quest? Sorry for being direct but I don’t really know how else to ask the question without sounding rude 😊. But seriously, I’m curious.
Hi Yvon,
Kabbalah is a science. The Kabbalists are the scientists of Kabbalah. Everything we know is based on their research. This is similar to how other sciences work. The Kabbalists are those researchers that have performed a certain experiment and reached a certain result: the correction of our nature, the revelation of the Creator, the force of bestowal, etc. So if we are to replicate their experiment, to follow their procedures we should reach the same results.

I’m having a hard time understanding how I can view someone stabbing me 8 times or someone destroying my house and leaving me with 400k mortgage and no job as a blessing. I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t either… please explain.
Hi Yvon,
I cannot comment on your personal situation, we can only talk about these things in general. In general, we learn from the Kabbalists that every single moment comes to us directly from the Creator, this is called “there is none else besides Him”. Furthermore, they also say that He is the “good that does good”. Meaning that every moment He is sending us nothing but goodness. Why then don’t we see this in our world? Why don’t we feel everything that is happening as something good?
This is because our world is governed by our egoistic nature. This egoistic nature is opposite to the Creator’s nature. Because of that, it inverts the Creator’s goodness into something bad. It’s just like multiplying numbers, a positive times a negative equals negative.
So as long as we remain within this egoistic nature, we will continue to see and feel more evil and suffering in the world. But if we correct our nature to be similar to the Creator’s nature, we will reveal the true reality in which only goodness exists and that our previous egoistic state was nothing more than a dream.
We’ll learn about these concepts in more detail in the future lessons, but in the meantime, check out this blog post from Rav Laitman for more details: https://laitman.com/2011/06/how-can-we-justify-the-creator/

<p style=”text-align: left;”>I guess some blessing are harder to see than others but if “Only unhappiness pushes us towards development”. Then I must be advancing at warp speed. Lol. I guess this nos why Jesus said “it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God” . Is it something like that?</p>
i understand the connection to eternity through changing the intention, but i don’t understand the thing where he explains that once a person corrects a desire it also corrects the other desires? it seems like he’s talking about something else that’s not like our world now? like if i correct my desire does that correct other people’s desire? (it’s at 21:00 in the video)
Hi Michael,
We learn that all of humanity is part of one single system, like cells within a single body. So naturally what one experiences influences EVERYONE else. And if I reach a correction, this same correction influences everyone. But I don’t actually correct the other person, rather I correct my part that is found within everyone.
It’s like a hologram where the big image is made up of identical smaller copies of that image. So if there is a flaw in one of the smaller images, that same flaw is found in every piece. And if you correct that flaw in the small piece, it’s reflected in the whole image. But each one will still need to correct their part of the general picture.

I feel we all have experienced those moments when you ask should I take the road less taken? I had experiences in which my soul tested spiritual journey and my higher self that inner voice said time to make a decision: to transform or continue on the path of pleasure and pain that ultimately is a cycle of life that goes in circles but never transcends to higher awareness…
Hi Xavid,
Yes, you can say that. Ultimately we’re all parts of a single system within which everyone will need to reach their spiritual correction. The only difference is that there are those that are awakened to this work earlier and those that are awakened to it later. This is because there is a certain order of corrections that need to take place. It’s like building a large jigsaw puzzle. First you start with all the corner pieces, and only then do you gradually work your way to the center. So those that received awakened points in the hearts are like those corner pieces of the puzzle that need to start the whole process. Later on, due to their good work, they pave the way for the rest of the world to join this process.
