Since I started studying kabbalah, I have disconnected myself from most groups that I was in if not totally then partially. On the other hand too I was feeling lonely yearning to join a group that I will connect to spiritually.
You should maintain the necessary connections though: family, work, etc. Especially in the beginning, the Kabbalistic group serves a very targeted purpose, so it will not be able to serve any of those corporeal needs. Think of it sort of like the role going to a karate class every day might play in your life, though here the purpose is much higher: due to its specificity, it can’t replace everything.
Hello,
My family and I are doing KabU courses together. Anyway, in the video for week 4.4 of Kabbalah in Action Julian encouraged students to find a group to study with.
I was under the impression that is what we are doing with KabU. Is that incorrect?
If our participation in KabU does not count as study with a group, does KabU have groups to study with?
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Smith
Hi,up to now week 4 of Kabbalah in action we have learned that all we will be going through will practice only in group (non else besides Him,He is good that does good, faith above reason).so my question when you interact with other people corporially with the challenges you will be going through how will it be practiced in group of ten? Will each group of ten have their Whatsapp and zoom community group?
Hi Smith,
Yes, studying with KabU is in a group who are studying mostly asynchronously for now. There will need to be a bit more contact than that as your knowledge grows and you learn the function of that group, in further detail. So, there will also be opportunities for many live classes, Zoom sessions, and so on, as you advance.
What specifically do you mean when you say that what a student of Kabbalah only needs is a commitment to the group, the books. and the teacher. In terms of the group of fellow students, am I correct in thinking this means that when you are together you trust that all involved are seeking in the same understanding and intent of practice? Or are there other components? Is commitment being used here to mean trust in its validity or something else? Thank you.
I do not understand how your response answers my questions. Perhaps I was not clear. I am questioning what are the specific commitments to teacher, books and group that you said is the essential requirement for continuing to learn Kabbalah with you. Thank you.
The work in the Kabbalistic group includes, actually, all the corrections a person has to make toward the Creator. So, the study of it is vast. It’s written about it in the articles of Rabash, especially the first 20, which are best studied in a group, with guidance – which is the essence of the Graduate Program. But feel free to start reading them: https://kabbalahmedia.info/en/sources/IHYcOU8k
Do you suppose the 10 starts working before it is even formed into a group? I am asking because this week I stumbled across a lot of tools and pieces of information that solved some very intractable problems for people I care about. That feels like Light that I had the opportunity to pass to them.
Also, regarding the letter Bet in the story of the letters, and how it is the one without an opposing force, and that creation was made with it.
Does that mean that this “blessing” force is how the Creator can influence us regardless of the system of nature, like a button to nudge an otherwise closed system in response to correct prayers?
It’s part of the system as there’s nothing outside the system. It’s best to think that in us are two reigns, pleasure and pain. By these, He influences us. Then, because in us exists the incorporation of the qualities of Malchut and Bina, there are two kinds of pleasure: toward corporeality, and toward spirituality. One quality in us feels delight when we’re heading toward corporeality, and the other enjoys when we’re headed toward spirituality. They’re essentially warring within us. We need to see always who is winning th war.
We can’t make these assumptions because there are laws but they work by mechanisms we can’t imagine. They’re not simple like gravity, “I throw this up, it comes down.” Until we attain the spiritual system for ourselves, we won’t be able to see cause and effect, predictable results.
But in general, I have always been with my ten, and will be. And even if the faces change, it will still turn out to be my ten. Again, these things don’t work according to our brains.

When I was reading the article “How bad is it to go through life without a plan?” from Dr. Michael Laitman, I remembered reading somewhere or hearing somewhere that we all have a unique purpose in life. Is that true? If so, how do we find our unique purpose?
Or is the only purpose to reconnect with the Creator. And, in order to do so, we need to correct our nature. Which might be a unique correction?
This world has to purpose except to connect with the Creator. What I’m doing until I do that has been arranged perfectly. If I need to do anything else, it will become clear to the extent that I’m using all I was given, to reach the goal of life. In short, we could talk about Kabbalah revealing anything about what I’m doing in this world, only when it’s a person that is already aimed entirely at reaching the Creator with everything he’s got. In the meantime, I just need to live my life like everyone else, except that I’m studying Kabbalah and increasing my desire for the spiritual goal.
