hi

I have some questions and didn’t want to use up class time to get my questions answered.  it was suggested to me on the class I just attended to use this forum to ask my questions. I started studies a few months ago but needed to be absent for the last 2 months and am now just returning and feel a little out of step:

1. When will I begin with a group of 10?

2. Is it ok to contact friends directly, outside of the classes and groups?  i.e. using the chat to send a private message to a friend for the purpose of communicating with them privately

3. I’d like to connect with other friends who are in Israel also. Is there a way for me to do that?

4. I would like to know which books, in which order, I should continue reading. I’ve already read several books and would like to continue reading.  I prefer getting to the bottom line (no puns intended – between left, right, middle) rather than having to wade through so much content, history, explanations, intricacies, etc –

5. Basically, what do I need to do in order to get to a place of love and acceptance with the world? Accept it as it is?? Continue working toward making the world a better place (for all?)

Hi Devorah,

Sure thing, no problem!

1: When you’ve completed the final course and move into the graduate environment.

2: We’d recommend staying in the common areas more than private communication. We’ve just seen if one party is “confused” it will cause double confusion, but that will be more clear to you when you advance and you will see where we were coming from. When you get settled into a ten, the communication will open up more and you’ll know how to “protect” one another from what would be considered harmful to one’s advancement.

3: I wouldn’t say there are any limits to that, but everyone really just works out of their ten. I happen to be in Israel so there’s one for you! Along the way, more emails and numbers will be available just naturally as you start dissemination and integration into the group.

4: That’s fair, but really it just depends on a person’s mood – their states and what’s most suitable at the moment. You can often switch between reading Baal HaSulam and Rabash accordingly, but it’s always handy to have Shamati and the social articles by Rabash always available to dive into.

5: First step towards that is to those you have in your ten. We start small – from “lightest” to “heaviest”. First we have to have a supportive environment to do the work which is hated by our nature, so we need like-minded friends and an environment that helps us overcome our nature. With the outside world there’s none of that. Correcting how I relate to those in the group necessarily make the world a better place. The whole of reality is within me whether I feel it or understand that or not. They’re all within me and I’m connected to them as one – just not consciously…yet!

hello

How can I wake up or enable feminine energy in my body?

I need a practical way like a god name  🙂

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Hi Humehr,

You’ll need only to work to reveal the Creator through work with others, then you’ll know how to use all the qualities He gave you for the good of all of reality and for His sake.

Thanks!

Hi,

The group of Ten is the formula we all need and im exited to join, G-d willing.

My question is, if one is married, (like myself). Can i use the formula with my wife? Or is their some sort of barrier that needs to be broken with a Ten first?

 

thanks

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Good question,Brad. The work you will have between you and the ten will certainly be aided if your partner studies as well but the spiritual work of overcoming is only there, and not within the family. This is a natural structure that He provides and brings husband and wife together whereas work between friends in the ten begins from complete zero. You’ll definitely be able to use concepts and scrutinies you accumulate to help you relate to your partner where you don’t forget that it all come from Him, which will help you relate to that structure and the rest of the world more correctly, and with time it will become just another face of the Creator, but you’ll always only turn to Him through the ten.

Best of luck,

Chris

Well said Chris, very helpful,  thanks.

Hello, if hell can be here and now, a state of shame, which is recognizing our ego has caused oppositeness to the creator, how is a person who lost their child supposed to understand this?

thanks

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Hi Brad,

The shame Kabbalists speak about, even “hell” is only in relation to someone who has already attained the opposite quality -revealed bestowal. The horrors and tragedies or shame in this egoistic perception is still within only the ego, lacking the complete perception which would allow a person to define a state of hell or the opposite. Understanding His providence cannot be attained in this incomplete perception.

If we work to reveal how He relates to us by trying to become like Him, to attain His mind and His thought, this is what will open up to us how to truly relate to His providence which will surely only be when we can recognize it’s done only with completele love and bestowal towards us at all times.

Hello

Sometimes it happens during worship that energy reaches my heart and then I can love others by thinking about them.
Once, after a very severe headache, energy flowed from my head to my heart and it made me feel great
But other than these times, I don’t have the energy to forgive and I don’t have the desire to forgive because I don’t have anything to forgive.
How should I get energy from God?
Is it related to Gabora?
I tried a lot of prayers, such as Islamic prayers, Annabhuek, Kaddish, Shama, 72 names, God’s names associated to the Sefirot, etc.
But now I have no energy
Thank you for your forum

[humehr garivani]

I myself think that I do not have a balance between Chesed and Geborah
And I don’t know how to balance this

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Hey Humehr,

These calculations can be made only by correcting how I relate to others. These Sefirot are attained by equivalence of form with the Creator through how I relate to others. We attain how He relates to us by relating to His created beings the same way thus “illuminating” that specific quality Kabbalists call Sefira.

Thanks,

Chris

Can I active Geborah by hating others? 🙂

[Ricardo Alves]

Hey there friends!

I have been studying kabbalah, and as much as I am understanding, we should love our neighbor as much as our self. More than that, we should focus our attention on our next ones.

This kind of thought is going to help us have a more altruistic kind of view.

Having this in consideration, I would like to know if you can give me a explanation about this subject: when you are with a friend, someone that you care about, and you are feeling this friendship (I am not talking about love, i maen pure friendship), is this some kind of equivalence of form with the creator? Can this help us ataining more beyond?

I would like to know what you think about this.

Big hugh to everyone!

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Hey Ricardo,

True equivalence of form is only possible if we are above our egos. This pleasant feeling you mentioned is simply egoistic pleasure, although there are roots in this pleasure, like any other pleasure, that stem from our interaction with the upper force, but what we feel while that force is concealed and we are opposite to it is only egoistic sensations –  to receive for ourselves.

No worries though. The more you progress you’ll be able to distinguish these things yourself and you can identify in what direction you need to go in order to discover true equivalence.

Thanks!

Chris
