Hello
I have questions about concepts in the book “Awakening to Kabbalah” – in discussion about reincarnation and souls returning in cycles for correction. My understanding is that Adam Ha Rishon’s soul shattered into pieces – the current individual souls reincarnating in cycles. Each soul is clothed in a body at a time. Now we have almost 8B people. In the last century, fewer people, and even way fewer 2000 years ago. What is happening here? Do souls propagate from another, split, or is there something left from the original soul that keeps shattering, or…? … It is very confusing.
What’s the Kabbalah perspective and stance regarding life on other planets in this unimaginably vast universe? Humans could not possibly be the only living, intelligent creatures in the cosmos. Do we have different Adam Ha Rishons, or similar ones, for each living planet? The creator created just one creature that shattered to become us in an inferior world. Did all 600k parts descend here or scatter all around the universe? If there are others, what are their desires? It doesn’t make sense to me. Could you please shed some light on the subject?
The universe is unimaginably vast because for now I am small, but later, one grows internally, and feels the whole universe as a tiny black bubble he’s inside, and not only does he know all that exists there, but he feels he’s too big for this tiny bubble, and needs to burst out of it. All that is inside of it is not determined by probabilities – which are a human invention, which don’t have any truth to them – but rather what exists is what the Creator pre-decided and made exist – and that could be a trillion to one according to my calculations of probability. Later, we’ll find out that us existing at all, when we really understand what and where we are, is zero percent probable, and anyone else existing out there is even less likely – and it doesn’t matter if the universe is the size it is now or a trillion times bigger: no one else exists here but you. Or perhaps, if the Creator made it so, there are others. Exactly how it’s appearing today, where these argue this way and those argue the other way – this is the game the Upper Force is playing with us on purpose. A Kabbalist feels the whole universe within him and thus can know exactly what’s there; until then, no one can quite be sure.
To your first question, the soul that exists, divides more and more, so that the parts that are more egoistic can be corrected. The workload is divided up. So, as you might deduce, reincarnation is something extremely far from what people imagine.
Hi
I have joined the graduate platform. I couldn’t find how to join a group of 10, so I submitted a ticket 2 days ago. I haven’t received any responses yet. Could you please help?
I’ve attended large religious conventions over the course of 25 years, some as large as 30K or more. However, it’s been many years since I have attended any large gatherings and my insecurity about being in such a large group looms large. (no pun intended)
How can I enjoy and/or participate in a Congress when I don’t particularly enjoy large crowds.
Hi.
What is a “Young Group,” and approximately how long is the wait time?
What do you recommend I do while waiting besides studying the books recommended during the course?Young Group is where we learn how to implement the principles of Kabbalah among friends in a spiritual group. The wait time right now might be a couple of months. But you don’t really need to wait because we’re learning these principles all the time, in all the Graduate Environment classes. So, in those 5 or so live classes per week, we’re learning principles and you should try to implement them and ask questions about what is not understood.
Very normal for someone with a sharp inclination toward the Creator to feel that way. It’s because I’m actually aimed at spirituality to some extent, and to that extent the Creator puts thorns around the door so that I will truly enter with free choice, which is required in the Plan of Creation. All Creation is just to give this place of free choice. But I’d recommend to attend a KabU retreat. There you get the effects of a big congress in an small, intimate setting. https://retreat.kabuconnect.com/
So, it is not that the group of 10 is necessary for advancement; we can reach the goal without it. The importance of the workshops and the group were so emphasised during the course that I deemed it impossible to advance without them. Without the group, I won’t have the multiplying power of ten, the lab and the practical means. Is that correct?
I am convinced by the congress. I have questions about the method though,
If adhesion to the creator is all that is required, then what prevents the group from becoming evil and doing evil? As mentioned below, Nazis and KKK have very strong adhesion to one another, that doesn’t mean they have the right idea about God. Similarly there are groups or rabis like chabad or rav cook who believe that adhesion should be in terms of birth status or belonging to a group, or desire for destruction and war and genocide. No doubt these groups and figures are a influential in Israel, so do you see how this way of thinking can also be perverted?
Well, I’m not sure what’s been done with Chabad or Rav Kook – I didn’t look into that – but in the original, there were Kabbalists there.
Talk to me about a group where they work toward others – it’s love the other as yourself, so not someone you already have business with – such that (1) through others (2) they are aiming for connection (3) with no possible benefit other than the Creator’s revelation to the Created Beings (4) using an authentic method from a teaching lineage of Kabbalists. If any of these is missing, there’s nothing to talk about. There are more conditions, but through this lens you already discover a world that is all but empty.
Do you want my honest response?
Over the decades I’ve been part of all sorts of self-help and spiritual groups that held large group events. And in every case the responses people had were pretty much IDENTICAL to what everyone has been saying about the Kabbalah Congress.
There is a “group dynamic” that some would call a “collective unconscious” that can be observed when groups of people with similar attitudes get together. You feel the added passion and excitement at sporting events or in theaters or at comedy clubs. Everything is more intense. Everything is more vibrant. Emotions run high.
I’m sure at Nazi and KKK “hate” events people have a similar response.
This response has less to do with spirituality or the Creator and more to do with human nature.
My point is three things:
1. That what is being described happens whenever a group of people with similar attitudes gets together.
2. This universal human response is proof that we are all connected.
3. Anyone who has completed all of the previous weeks of KabU lessons is likely already sold on Kabbalah.
Would I go to a Kabbalah Congress?
Most certainly.
I would relish the opportunity to get together with other Kabbalists and to meet and learn from more advanced students of Kabbalah.
At the same time I felt as if this section in the entry-level 20 weeks of KabU training was the first one where I felt like it was “fluff” as opposed to the foundational “meat and potatoes” lessons that filled the previous weeks.
I am very impressed with KabU and I am grateful for the opportunity to study Kabbalah in this way.
My recommendation would be to edit this section of the KabU program to include more substance.
Possibly add some excerpts from lectures given at a Congress.
Possibly have the lecture playing in the background and zoom in on the faces of the people to show their unsolicited responses.
If someone has gone this far with the KabU online courses I would suspect that they are already quite excited about Kabbalah and already quite impressed with KabU.
I don’t think you need to sell them on a Congress.
I believe a better time and way to promote the importance of attending a Congress would be when a Congress is coming up and to do that promotion with emails, social media, and links.
I hope that my constructive criticisms were accepted as heartfelt and supportive.
The purpose and preparation for a Congress was very revealing and it elevate a desire to attend one and be among us, the other parts of us and be as one as the final aim is.
The dialogue with Mary and Dena was also impressive on the preparation level with everyone participating with the desire to bestow. It was enlightening, thank you for sharing.
