Ask anything about week 4 lesson and materials and get an answer from a senior Kabbalah instructor.

[Cyndi]

I am confused regarding what reincarnation actually means during the double concealment state.

Also, the single concealment “being an incarnation” …

 

Thank you in advance for clarification

 

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

Hi Cyndi,

When Kabbalists talk about reincarnation, they are not talking about the death and rebirth of the body, but about the changes of states. Each time our desires change, our state changes and thereby we go through this process called reincarnation.

Isn’t it better to live all in one community all together with our lives exposed to one another loving and doing our part to uplift the whole of the body and direct each other when we are bent and needing straitened? working toward the same goal to be one and the same with the creator.

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

Hi William,

At the beginning of the spiritual path, there are a lot of tendencies to isolate ourselves from the rest of the world. But the more we advance, the more we’ll begin to see that we don’t need to isolate ourselves. Even Baal HaSulam and Rabash were not living in isolation in some Kabbalistic environment, rather they had normal jobs, families, and lived in a typical neighborhood of their time. How then did they attain such high spiritual levels? By tapping into the strength of the spiritual environment.

So if we build for ourselves a strong spiritual environment, then it will influence us even stronger than the corporeal environment that we’re in. But this is not a one time choice. Building and strengthening the spiritual environment is our constant work. As we progress, our ego will grow more and more, and the corporeal environment will pull us more and more. This is done purposefully so that this resistance will force us to build an even stronger connection to the spiritual environment, and thereby reach an even higher spiritual level.

It’s just like with a bodybuilder. If he lifts only a 1 pound weight all the time, he will not get very strong (this is equivalent to us living in isolation or closing ourselves in a small community). In order to grow, that bodybuilder needs to constantly increase the resistance that he’s lifting. So the more we advance, the more we’ll begin to see how the everyday problems, experiences, work situations, etc we undergo in the regular society are a necessary part of our correction. That we don’t erase these things, but above them we need to stay connected to the spiritual environment. And this will determine the level of our spiritual attainment.

We’ll learn how to do this practically in the more advanced semesters of KabU.

Is following along enough of an instructor?

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

Hi Dan,

Yes, it’s like a baby in the hands of the mother. The baby does not understand anything about life and relies completely on the mother to take care of it and lead it to the right place. We too don’t know anything about reaching spirituality and we rely completely on the Kabbalists that preceded us and on the Kabbalistic group.

The only difference is that the baby is naturally led by the mother, while we have to consciously place ourselves in the hands of the Kabbalistic group and allow it to lead us towards the goal. We’ll learn about these things in the more advanced lessons.

What’s the best way to get a group?

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

Hi Dan,

In the advanced semester of KabU, everyone will receive their own Kabbalah group with whom they can put all these things into practice.

Once a person passes the barrier, is it possible for them to fall back to earlier states?

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

Hi Shel,

There is a rule that “one is raised in holiness and never lowered.” So we never go backwards. It’s possible that we receive an additional challenge that belongs to a higher degree and that challenge can feel like we’re going backwards, but it’s still a step forward. Similar to how a bodybuilder that masters a five pound weight moves on to ten pounds. That ten pounds is much more challenging and he cannot do as many reps as before, but this is nonetheless considered progress and advancement.

Thank you!

[Michael]

Can the creation of this environment for this spiritual ascent be the role of religion in regards to this path?

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

Hi Michael,

Not quiet. Religion has a different goal than what we learn about in Kabbalah. So a religious environment wont help us to actualize Kabbalah. The type of environment that we need to actualize what we learn in Kabbalah is a spiritual environment consisting of those with active points in the heart that are on the spiritual path together with us.

For those interested in continuing with KabU, in the advanced semesters of KabU, everyone will receive their own Kabbalistic group with whom they can put all these things into practice.
