Does it count if you put your partner’s interests before your own even if your partner’s point in the heart hasn’t hasn’t awakened yet?

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

Hi Melanie,

It depends on your goal in life. If your goal is to reach the revelation of the Creator, this is possibly only when we practice connection and bestowal with other points in the heart in the 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.

Thank you.  Now I understand why people have been taking advantage of me my whole life; way before I met Kabbalah I always put other people’s interests before myself because that is the way I was brought up.

Are all of the 613 are positive or is it half positive and half negative? And why ?

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

Hi Mitch,

613 is the number of corrections that need to be placed over the spiritual desire. This number is further divided into 248 desires of bestowing in order to bestow and 365 desires that operate on receiving in order to bestow. We’ll learn how these numbers are derived in the more advanced lessons on KabU that deal with the structure of the upper worlds.

I have understood that we human vessels are a type of co-creator in the since that Light, Giver, Permeates and penetrates every aspect of existence. Light, therefore, gives us thoughts, and nothing is created without the thought of man. In fact, Giver seems to give only us certain thoughts, dreams, aspirations, and etc. We are the only species attempting space flight, business, writing, art, etc. my question is, how does a Kabbalist understand/explain the passionate drive of man to create? Is this drive to create a rocketship, for example, just part of the program of receiving the idea (desire) and NOT an actual action of creation on the behalf of man?

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

Hi Gates,

All these things essentially fall under the desire to receive pleasure.

Even our drive for spirituality stems from our desire to receive pleasure. This is why the point in the heart is initially described as a black point, meaning that it too is egoistic.

So naturally, we all start out as egoists wanting only to receive. It’s only after much spiritual work that a person is capable of rising above this nature. And even then, rising above the ego is a gift from above, it’s not something we can do by ourselves. Just like a PC cannot just reprogram itself to run as a Mac, we too cannot just change our own nature.

So ultimately we’re all enslaved to our egoistic nature and it’s only thanks to the light that we have the ability to come out of it.

the 613 laws of nature that you mentioned probably refer to the 613 commandments written in Torah. They also are written in code because most of them are impossible to attain these days?

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

Hi Victor,

Yes, you can say that. There are 613 desires that we need to correct. Corresponding to each desire, there is a commandment. 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.

Is a firmament a screen that the Creator operates instead of the creature?

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

Hi Logynn,

It depends on the context, but essentially a firmament is a certain boundary.

Here are some blog posts from Rav Laitman on the topic:

https://laitman.com/2021/04/let-there-be-a-firmament/

https://laitman.com/2014/03/the-firmament-the-righteous-and-the-end-of-correction/

That first one sounds like it’s not so much that Malchut rises to Bina, as it is that Malchut is at the bottom of an ocean and we slowly empty it and uncover Malchut and as the surface drops below Malchut she’s is then in Bina.

That second link is wow. I’ll have to read that a bunch of times. It’s a nutshell of Kabbalah I’ve never seen. This part:

“Question: Does it mean that the Creator is a force that the righteous reveals by reaching the property of the firmament”?
Answer: Yes, it is true. The Creator can be revealed only when He dresses in a human being. A man who attains equivalence of properties with the Creator is called righteous.”

So, we lower the surface of the firmament by looking at every single thing in reality and re-categorize it from “other” to “none other besides Him?” and put a seal of approval on it whether we can understand what is going on there or not?

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

Hi Logynn,

The mechanism behind all of spirituality is the law of equivalence of form. Meaning that in order to discover and reveal spirituality, we need to become similar to it, to the pure qualities of love and bestowal that are found there. 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.

I saw on YouTube today that the Kabbalah Revealed students were supposed to get assigned to “special teams.” Was there something I was supposed to do to be eligible for a team?

I have been taking my time going through the course “weeks,” because I didn’t know there was any kind of deadline. But it’s not that I haven’t been doing a lot of work. I have read Attaining the Worlds Beyond, the Zohar, and Unlocking the Zohar. Some I have read several times. I have watched a lot of videos on the YouTube channel.

How do I become eligible to go into a special team?

Thanks

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

Hi Logynn,

If you’re referring to tens, everyone will be assigned a group of ten in the advanced semester.

The prerequisite for that is to finish the fundamentals and intermediate semesters.

Albert @ KabU

[Logynn]

Ok, I didn’t realized the advanced ones were still called Kabbalah Revealed. So I didn’t miss anything. That is a relief. Thank you!
