Hi Kabu Instructors, reposting on the right question: I am still a bit unclear on what Job reaction should’ve been upon each calamity – did he needed to ask the creator the purpose of his suffering? And what could’ve he done to prevent more suffering ?

Hi Daniel,
This was answered in your previous post about it here.
For the future, general questions not related to the weekly materials should be asked in the ask anything forum.
Albert @ KabU
Considering the importance of group study for Kabbalists I regret that I’ve missed many study group calls and faq because I’ve been traveling and the time zone conversion is impacting my availability to join. Is it possible to send a google meeting invitation instead of a zoom link in what’s app? Google meet automatically converts the time. Alternatively if the meeting times are consistent and the link doesn’t change for each type of meeting we could create calendar reminders ourselves. Id love to know if others are struggling with this aspect of the course as I am.
Hi Ellema,

Hi,
Today I learned that my inability to follow and bond with a teacher is my greatest ego. I have a great desire for spirituality; reading and practicing everyday, and i love people and serve them with compassion. Yet when it comes to truly following a teacher and nullifying my desire and mind to a teacher is the greatest obstacle to becoming Kabballist. Is there any advise? I live far in the bush and only learning online.
Hi Bolormaa,
We don’t need to work directly towards a teacher. We need to listen to the teachers advice and try to implement it. The main advice from our teachers is that we need to reach a spiritual connection in a small group of ten. The group of ten is the main laboratory of our work. And it’s precisely in that connection where we will reveal spirituality in practice.
We’ll learn how to do this practically in the advanced semesters of KabU where everyone will get their own virtual Kabbalah group to practice with.

suppose i have read the torah9bible and can see the spiritual secrets like what is cin or abraham , who is moses and so forth , what is the layers above and the pth of torh lishma nd mitzvot and have covered many zohr articles as well as shamati and michael laitman;s a few books ..wht will it take to corss the machsom?
Hi Collen,
Crossing the machsom (barrier) between corporeality and spirituality works according to the law of equivalence of form. Meaning that to the extent that we become similar to spirituality, to the qualities of pure love and bestowal that reside there, to that extent we’ll come closer to spirituality and feel it in practice. This is just like how a radio can pick up an external wave, when we tune the internal frequency of the radio to that wave.
But practicing love and bestowal is not something I can do in isolation, rather I need to have someone with whom I can practice these things. And I can’t practice this with just anyone, as that too would violate the rule of “there is no coercion in spirituality”. I need to practice it with others that have the same goal and are aspiring towards that goal on a regular basis. In other words, I need to practice this in a Kabbalistic group.
Check out this blog post from Rav Laitman for more details: https://laitman.com/2013/04/everything-is-attained-by-the-equivalence-of-form/

hi..is it worthy forming group of yet to be kabbalists who re totally new but eager to know ? can i study with them the little i know for example my spouse a friend a few colleagues or even my sons or should i be given a group?can i apply my kabbalh wisdom in a soccer team and use it as a group?
Hi Collen,
1. You can try to form a study group, just remember that “there is no coercion in spirituality”. So don’t force anyone into studying Kabbalah. Even arguing with someone about it or trying to prove that Kabbalah is correct to someone is not recommended. If you’re able to keep these limits, then there is no harm in forming a study group.
2. As for the soccer team, it depends on what you’re trying to accomplish. If the goal is to reach the revelation of the Creator, this is possibly only when we practice what we learn here with other points in the heart in a Kabbalistic group.
If you practice this anywhere else, in the best case scenario you’ll build some good relationships, in the worst case, people will think you’re weird or try to take advantage of you. But either way it will not lead to the revelation of the Creator.
So generally, with the rest of the world, it’s best to just act normal, like everyone else. Meaning don’t make a saint of yourself and at the same time don’t cause harm to others or break the law, but just act the way normal people act.
And in the advanced semesters of KabU, we’ll learn how to do spiritual work in a group, and whoever wants will be given a virtual Kabbalah group to put these things into practice.

Regarding climbing 125 steps of correction,, do we climb a step at a time with each intention? Or do climb number of steps at a time? Do we ever fall back in our climb up? How can we tell that we are making progress in our climb?
Hi Mira,
We’re still in the preparation period prior to the spiritual ladder. But once we start to do real spiritual work, we can measure our progress in our attitude towards other points in the hearts. That I’ll feel how my attitude towards them changes, from complete indifference, all the way until I feel them as pieces of my soul. We’ll learn about this in the more advanced lessons.
