Ask Anything

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

Greetings, I asked a question outside of this forum and was advised to ask the question here. My question is, ” can an experience of suffering push someone to learn or encounter certain kabbalistic concepts before they are formally taught? In other words, can one’s trauma resulting in a great desire to alleviate his suffering, result in a teaching to unfold before he is formally taught? I am not saying that I understood exactly what I was painting under the influence of great emotion, however the little I did understand became overwhelmingly abundant when I saw a diagram in the first lesson of this course that closely resembled it conceptually and wondered if the creator can drop bread crumbs for a pigeon like myself to follow

Hi Khalid,

Anything is possible, indeed. Nature works on all of us in different ways. It makes sense this would happen since the wisdom of Kabbalah is just research into the phenomena in nature within a person. It would be natural for you to feel these natural emotions outside the framework of “Kabbalah” which is only the method itself.

Thank you. Is this something that can be and should nurtured? And if so, would studying Kabbalah facilitate that?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

There’s usually some awakening that brings a person to the path, and from there, a person needs to continue. Like it’s said, “the Creator takes a person’s hand and places it on the good faith and says, “Take this”.”

Hello

Can you explain me how the will to receive in order to bestow can make the pleasure not to vanish, to be permanent?

Thank you

Adelina.

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Hi Adelina,

The pleasure gets “canceled” when we try and receive it for ourselves, similar to a short circuit in electrical systems. When we receive the pleasure, in order to bestow it, it passes through us to others, but the “through us” means we feel it.

Hi Chris,it surprised me when I see your reply today.. I thought all the teachers keep shabbat. It’s nice to me to see it’s not so strict 👍😃

[David Mancini]

Is Galgalta the first restriction or does that happen before galgalta?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Hey David,

Before the first light is extended down, the decision not to receive for itself needed to occur.

Thanks!

So is our goal right now is a cabu student to increase our desire for spirituality and if so how do we do that

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Hey Todd,

This is the question you need to ask yourself at every moment. Once you have an amswerr, which you find somewhere, whether it’s the sources here or any other material we have which awakens you and brings you the right direction you need to exert in.

Keep going forward. Desire is theain thing. As long as you are full of desire, this is fulfillment, the question is what do you do when you have no desire? Again you must turn to the environment to awaken you, or another trick is to awaken it which awakens you in return.

There are many states and we need to go through all of them. Thanks!

In ítem 48 of Zohar for all:

Can you explain the meaning of “all the generations were suspende until the name Abraham was created? What happened with the previous generations like the generations of Noah?

Thank you

Adelina.

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Hey Adelina,

The Zohar only speaks about inner spiritual states. Forces of reception and forces of bestowal and how they interact. In this case, those corrected desires are not in use.

Thanks!

Hello

In our world where time and space exist, can we say that Olam Haba, the world to come, is the future for us and that the future has to already exist?

Thank you

Adelina

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Hey Adelina,

Yeah, you could say it exists in potential, but we are talking about states of the will to receive. The WTR will need to undergo correction the way it itself needs to in all the many different corrections there are for each one of us, the question of how that plays out in our world depends on how much we can manage to go through those states internally first.

Thanks!
