This part from the lesson blew my mind:
“This wisdom is generally divided into two parallel, identical orders, like two drops in a pond. The only difference between them is that the first order extends from Above downwards, to this world, and the second order traverses from below upwards, precisely by the same routes and make-ups imprinted at the root when they appeared from Above downwards. The first order is called “the order of descent of the worlds, Partzufim, and Sefirot,” in all their occurrences, whether lasting or transient. The second order is called “attainments or degrees of prophecy and Holy Spirit.” A person rewarded with it must follow the same trails and inlets, and gradually attain each detail and each degree, precisely by the same rules that were imprinted in them upon their emanation from Above downwards.”
That was an interesting lesson. To my previous knowledge there were 4 worlds but I just learned that there are actually 5. I also was unaware of the 125 steps required to reconnect with our original source. In addition, I had no knowledge of “Branch language” being a thing. Lastly I did not know that Abraham and the Rabbis thought the ages have been teaching the Kabbalah to those whom were not of the Jewish nation. Great lesson. I look forward to the following ones.
what I found really interesting is that the overview described something that I feel I had already intuitively connected to. When my father passed away one of his nieces was beside herself with grief. I took her aside and told her that we have a very limited view of reality. now why did I know that? I read up a lot on quantum mechanics and string theory. I’m not gonna get into that here. But I told her that in this world we are bound by the constraint of time. Beyond this world we are no longer bounded by time.When someone passes out of this world into and after life because it’s eternal everyone who ever existed is already there another words in the afterlife you don’t miss the people you love because they’re already right there with you.
when someone passes out of this world into and after life, because it’s eternal, everyone who ever existed is already there another words in the afterlife you don’t miss the people you love because they’re right there with you upon arrival.
I don’t know if this makes sense to you the reader. I narrated this post so it’s more like stream of consciousness than a nicely written essay
As an example consider a very large building it’s actually infinite in size but we’ll just deal with a small segment of that. Inside that very large building is a laboratory. It is an isolation room that is surrounded by one way glass. One can see into the isolation room but cannot see out into the infinite world (building).
In human form we are each in a kind of isolation suit that’s connected to the one-way glass. we step into that suit at birth. There is very toxic substance in that isolation room that we are working with, but it takes wisdom to understand that the inner room is toxic.
While we’re in our a hazmat suit we forget about the outside space but with effort can come to understand that is there waiting for us when we pass from human form.
Does that make any sense?
I’m really appreciating Rav Laitman’s explanation, in the intro to “Attaining The Worlds Beyond”, of how and why we will experience the text differently at different times. This is certainly my experience. Sometimes, I feel such rapture I can hardly move, sometimes such a profound ‘aha!’, and even feel that Dr. Laitman is speaking directly to me – and, at other times, I feel nothing and can’t understand why I saw anything in it earlier. The introduction is reassuring, helping me to not grasp, to just observe, and to learn from the process.
