If we got a hundred thousand more people to simply complete kabu’s four initial courses would that raise us all?
There is a matter of quantity and quality here however, the way we understand it now – the quantity will come only when our quality improves. So we do the most with what we have got now once we have something to give to the world – meaning an actual example – they will receive it. Until then, it’s as the sages say, “there is no coercion in spirituality” – you can’t force someone to have a desire. Whoever trickles in we are certainly happy to accept them, but we know there won’t be any masses studying the wisdom.
To answer you question more directly, we will rise once we raise ourselves to a higher level. We’ll still need to do the actual work. Having more people join the work doesn’t necessarily decrease the work we have upon ourselves to assume. You could mention the matter of “lightening the load” which our teacher has mentioned but I haven’t heard of it referenced in the context you’re speaking about here.
Thanks!

Hey Todd,
This is certainly something he’s been preparing us for and something the students often probe him for answers about, but thankfully we have thousands of hours to return to and the group would stay strong keeping the same framework. He has made it clear nothing is to change.
Hopefully, we have many more years!

When humanity invents things in The corporeal world does it work the same way as kabbalah? Meaning: does the inventor try and try until at last she has a true desire for the thing to exist and then once she raises her true prayer then the creator grants the ability for that invention to exist?
Hey Todd,
I’m not exactly sure what you’re trying to say here with this one. I don’t know what kind of ‘inventions’ there would be for a Kabbalists on their way to correcting their soul that the Creator hasn’t already put in place for them to use. There is something to say about “a true desire”, that until we have this true desire within us as a prayer (the ability to bestow without any return for self-benefit) then the Creator cannot answer that prayer. Let me know if you meant something else.

Where are they? In some location within the realm of space and time? They made their appearance here in this world, dressed in a body and now there’s no need for a body in this world. You can’t say their “souls” have gone somewhere, though. You can consider what they did for us as a kind of system that they left for us to enter into and there you will feel them as guides along the journey.

Hi Todd,
The created being and the Creator are two opposites, but the created being has its root in the Creator. The will to receive and the will to bestow are two opposite forces, yet the will to receive is within, the Creator Himself and ultimately (the end of correction), both will return to, “He and His name are one.”.
Thanks!
Chris
Hey Todd,
There are a few that we study. You’ll see mainly The Tree of Life & Bet Shar Kavanot.
It’s not that they were “released” to the public like something that was hidden and then disclosed, but in his time, even though he died very young, he was still considered the prominent teacher and so whatever he wrote was taken and studied.
Thanks!
