Hi Daiva,
Higher levels means higher levels of love and bestowal. Reaching that requires someone with whom we can practice these things.

Hi Albert,
In Tony’s video 1 of this 4th lesson, I am confused by Tony’s used of the terms “reincarnates” “incarnation” in reference to the double and first concealments . Does he refers to the actual incarnation in a corporeal body on this eart, or doe he refers to a change of inner state? I guess it is the later. But still I am a bit confused. Could you provide me with information about the meaning attributed to the words “incarnation” and reincarnation” and its context in Kaballah?
Thank you much
Hi Lorie,
Depending on the context, it could be talking about both those things.
When the corporeal body dies, the spiritual potential, the point in the heart, will reincarnate into another body until it gets fully realized.
And if we’re talking about how reincarnation takes place within a person, then we’re talking about how our desires grow and develop. From this point of view, as we begin to correct our desires, we accelerate the pace at which our desires develop and change, and thereby go through many lifetimes of changes within a single lifetime.

Hi Isabel,
Rabbi Shimon and his group, the authors of the book of Zohar, reached the state of the full correction. They were the pioneers that had to reach this state in order to pave the way for the rest of us.

Thank you for your answer 🙏
May I ask an other question?
When they reached the second revelation, did they remain in that state or were there also periods when they descended to the first revelation?
Hi Simon,
Revealing the Creator works according to the law of equivalence of form, meaning that to reveal Him we need to become similar to Him, to His qualities of love and bestowal. In order to acquire the qualities of love and bestowal, I need someone with whom to practice these things, so a group is absolutely necessary.
In the advanced semesters of KabU, everyone will be placed in a virtual KabU group with other fellow students where you can put all these things into practice.

Albert @ KabU
One of the difficulties that I am having is semantic. There is much use of words such as “good” “sin” “commandments”, which makes me feel that there is a set, static understanding of the will of the Creator or Upper World. There seems to be a simplistic overlay called altruism which is defined by worldly or egoistic standards. I realize that the Kabbalist Sages use phraseology that can be unfamiliar, if not archaic, but my difficulties seem to be that many words connote conceptual authority or dogmatism while claiming none! It is my hope that this will be cleared up when we get into the actual practice of alignment or correction, but it haunts me. Thank you.
Hi Aleta,
Yes, these things will get cleared up throughout the courses. Let me know if you want a specific definition clarified now.
Albert @ KabU
Hi Aleta,
There are 613 desires that we need to correct. Corresponding to each desire, there is a commandment (mitzvah in Hebrew). These are the INTERNAL processes by which we correct that specific desire. In other words, Kabbalists don’t look at the 613 commandments as physical actions to be performed by our hands and feet, but rather as allegories to the internal process of correcting our desires.

Albert @ KabU
Hi Rita,
There are 620 spiritual desires in total. 248 of them are corrected towards bestowing in order to bestow, 365 desires of receiving in order to bestow, and 7 additional desires that are corrected only in the final correction.
So the numbers 613 and 620 are connected. Depending on the context, sometimes Kabbalists include those additional 7 desires and sometimes they omit them.
