      Hi im a new student and glad to be here.

      in one of Dr Laitmans articles if i remember correctly he said “all religions are created by mans ego”, this makes sense but how do we reconcile judaism then? I believe Dr. Laitman practices judaism no?

      genuinely asking. Maybe there is a video you can refer me too that explains this.

        Hey Brad,

        It’s just a culture thing. Judaism is a direct descendent of Kabbalah which came into practice after those who were in correct connections with one another, in love and in bestowal, were unable to keep that between them as the ego grew. This caused some to feel that it was ok to continue with certain physical actions which they felt was enough (since the ego is satisfied by not having to work in bestowal) while others disagreed and wanted to keep working on the inner corrections – ‘love your neighbor’.

        What you see today is essentially a total reign of the ego, in all religions, as the concept – the idea – of rising above the ego to reveal the Creator has completely disappeared. Of course, this does not include that thin chain of Kabbalists who kept it going for our generation to reignite that candle and spread the method of correction to all of humanity which now so desperately needs it.

        Thanks!

      In there is none else beside him. It says but when he has committed a sin, he must certainly regret it and be sorry for having committed It.” also says “then one should be remorseful and say I committed that sin because of the creator hurled me down from holiness to a place of filth, to the laboratory, the place of filth.”

      Why are we to be sorry and remorseful for what the creator does to us?

        Hi Todd,

        These are things a person will feel if they are aimed correctly. If you aim to steal and ignore who it affects when you do so, then you should expect to feel nothing. If you have the thought of the harm you caused others, you would regret it.

        If you are aimed at the Creator and only want to do good to Him as He does to you, then you would expect that when you disconnect from that goal and think only of yourself that you would feel remorse even though you’re aware the Creator caused such an action.

        All of the advise from the Kabbalists are not in order for us to force a certain emotion, but to be used as guides to check whether or not we are aimed correctly.

        Thanks!

      How does a physical book have a spiritual root while a ebook does not?

      • #318215

        Hey Todd,

        It’s a different world we’re living in. Before, if you wanted to make something, you had to find the materials and make ‘that thing’. In the digital age, ‘making something’ is kind of this virtual action. Of course there are efforts and imagination invested in bringing that thing – let’s say a tool in the form of software –  to life, but the essence is 1s and 0s.

        Don’t be concerned with needing to fetch a book made of paper and ink just to grab ahold of something with a ‘spiritual root’, but you yourself feel the text differently. Words maybe don’t help as much here, and I’m lacking them now, but read an article from a book and read the same from an ebook. The experience is different. Digital is almost imaginary – if you can understand where I’m getting at.

        Having a physical book won’t advance you spiritually any more than an ebook would though, if that’s the question.

        Thanks!

        Chris

      In what ways can I watch or listen to the morning lesson?

      • #317988

        Hey Todd,

        A couple of choices. You can download the Kabbalah Media app and choose “live broadcast” or you can go here: KLI.ONE/LIVE

        Thanks!

      hello

      is there any advanced kabbalah students from an Arabic & Islamic background  here ?

       

      please if there is I want to connect with them

      • #317987

        Hey Marouane,

        KabU is specifically for students learning in English and our Arabic content is at its early stages. We have a good number of Turkish students which if you prefer to learn in that environment, I’m sure we could arrange that.

        Thanks!

      How does one come to teach Kabbalah? Can I complete courses and then teach Kabbalah?

      • #317113

        Hi Dustin,

        If your speaking about this KabU platform, then teachers are selected by a group of senior teachers according to certain criteria.

        1) Completion of all KabU introductory courses as well as the instructors course

        2) Participation in group work

        3) Consistent participation in the daily Kabbalah lesson with Rav Michael Laitman

        Anyone may express their desire to become a teacher; however, it takes some time before a person correctly establishes themselves in the group work and in the lessons.

        Joseph – KabU
