Ask any question and get an answer from a KabU instructor! (for tech questions see “Tech Support” Section)

How do I know if my emotion is dominate? Where you said you do need your intellect. I feel this may be a silly question but I don’t understand.
Did the saying “as above, so below” come from Kabbalah?
Did hermetisicm come from Kabbalah?
Hey Todd,
When you feel what your nature is, and you feel where you are aimed, feeling what your goal is and feeling what is missing in order to add in the correct direction. The mind will come in and help you implement the above, but it cannot do the “leading”.
Most things came from Kabbalah someway, somehow. 6,000 years ago is a long time and with Adam first revealing the upper system then, passing it along for many many generations – all kinds of ideas and philosophies and combinations and interpretations come from it. Of course, we can’t track down the actual threads tieing whatever faith or concepts to Kabbalah, but the idea is that the revelation of the upper worlds to people in the world already instigated certain changes in humanity to occur and develop in a way that would allow the wisdom itself to develop along with humanity and its egoistic trajectory.
Thanks!
I recently participated in a meditation. During the meditation there was a part where the instructor said all that I need is within my soul and instructed me to feel my soul ( if I remember correctly) . At this time I saw something like a lung with branches or rather a tree. I cried when this image appeared to be lighting up and alive and nourishing me with a sense of well being. After my meditation I saw a similar image in the form of your website logo. What does the tree like image in your logo represent?
So when talking about Kabu, Seth told me to take notes. I was reading in “Attaining the worlds beyond” I think it was that Rav said not to try and memorize but to get the feeling of it and it would be better to forget and then read it again. So my question is how do I know what info I am learning for feeling and what info I need to learn to learn intellectually, thanks?
Ya, there is a kind of balance there. Some things we really do just need a foundational understanding which does start in the brain, if you will. Of course the main thing is the heart which changes by yearning. The light works on us and we feel something different, the mind ‘analyzes’ and you start again.
This is natural, just make sure you’re emotion is dominant. Thanks!

Is having a screen like lifting weights? In the sense that you push yourself for a while then you go into a deload to let your body recover for a week or so and then you start ramping it up again for a few weeks or so you progressive overload and then you deload for a couple weeks and so on. So what I am saying is you work work get to a level then go down a bit but you are still better than you were and then you are on a plateau for a while even though you are working then you jump up high, go back down some and then plateau for a while. This is in George Leonards book called “mastery” where he talks about mastering anything if you by some chance are familiar with this line graph he shows.
<p style=”text-align: left;”>Not exactly, Todd. The spiritual work is an ever increasing acceleration. One you ‘stop’ or ‘slow down’, you’re just limiting the discernment you need to continue forward. The “energy” you need to do the work depends on that supply you get from the environment. So really, the main thing is to keep that connection live.</p>
Thanks!Chris
