Ask Anything

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

How can one know for sure if they have a revealed point in the heart?

[Antonina]

Is this about you, or somebody else? If it is about you and this is a burning question (desire) in your heart, ask, inside, that’s your heart’s prayer, and He, who is Faithful will answer. 100%. However. Will you ‘hear’ the answer? Do you know His/Her ‘voice’? If you don’t, assume you do and take the bull by the horns and tell it what to do: demand the Creator to ignite the point in your heart. You cannot fail. Failure is not an option, we all are going home together. The effort you dedicate to the spiritual path (path of light) prevents the natural course of events, “nature’s corrections” that work through suffering and pain.

Hi David,

The fact that you were brought to this wisdom and are asking this question is a sign that your point in the heart has been awakened.  But this is only a sign. A person cannot really know for sure as we are talking about the quality of one’s intentions, and this is mostly hidden from a person.

Hi David, it’s nice to meet you! This was a subject that I just heard about in the Reveal Kabbalahs Secrets guide. From what was explained the point in the heart refers to the simple desire for spiritual attainment. Since you are here it must be a sign that that point has already been activated in your heart. Im really new to this so if someone has anything more to add please do. Good luck!

[Antonina]

Only the ‘Holy Spirit’ (new to kabbalah too, I don’t know the equivalent in kabbalah, I imagine is ‘Keter’) can correctly read a heart and reveal the true heart’s desire. Why, when, to whom, for what purpose would He/She reveal this? Most often He/She tells me: Antonina you have judged, and this judgement is incorrect. Then, we start my correction and the subject of my judgement falls by the wayside (the correct one is not revealed).

Many persons study kabbalah for other reasons like: improving their material lives, solving problems. The most prominent recently is ‘knowledge’ and you’ll meet ‘PhDs’ in kabbalah who have not been transformed by their knowledge.

If a person is working lo lishma is it means that he works for himself and not for the creator..?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Yes but directed at achieving Lishma. Lo Lishma is not the same as a person on the street working for their own ego.</p>

[mrc s]

Is it like a person who works in others company/business (using the tools of the company (others)) giving benefit to both but still working for oneself..? Or like owning/running he’s own business/company..? thx

[mrc s]

Is a person should feel grateful if they’re just in the stage of lo lishma..?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

<p style=”text-align: right;”>You receive every moment perfectly tailored to your degree, to bring you closer to the goal. So every step is from Him, and if you recognize this then this is certainly something to be grateful for.</p>

Is the vessel of bestowal: the need/desire to bestow..?

[Antonina]

The “receiving” of the egoistic type always takes, diminishes the giver or a brother somehow. The Creator only “gives” (benefits all, increases all) never “takes” (diminishes anyone). The “Bestowal” is a state of being. By transforming our receiving for egoistic purpose to receiving to “please the Creator”, we invert out sate of being an egoist into a state of being an altruist (one who bestows).

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

It would be more accurate to say the will to receive is the need and the vessel to bestow is the ability.

But that’s also not completely accurate since the desire to bestow is a desire, and it’s all done with the will to relieve – the question is how you use it.

Yesterday I listened to a Hebrew reading of the Zohar. I know nothing about the language. During the reading I began to feel/sense a very strong radiance that went completely throughout me. It was wonderful and a bit frightening. The fear diminished but the sensation lingers.

Now my ego is trying to corrupt the pleasure. Will the ego stop telling me it was hypnosis or imagination?

[Joseph – KabU Instructor]

Hi David,

The ego will always corrupt our pleasure. This is why we must learn to receive pleasures of bestowal. By acquiring the nature of bestowal, there is no limit to the pleasures I can receive.

Joseph – KabU

[mrc s]

Is the study of Kabbalah gives pleasure according to the amount and quality of the reading, or there are stages that brings displeasure by reading it..?

[Antonina]

Your ‘pleasure’ is your very personal interpretation of the sensed material. Say you’re blind, I show you a painting – that you love the most now. What do you feel? I show the same to a myope, a nearsighted, and one with 20/20 vision. What does each feel when beholding this amazing painting? Do you have the masach (screen) to discern spiritual masterpieces? Developed, in what degree? A Kli? A Soul? Your feelings (of pleasure) depend on many factors, including likes, dislikes, habits, preferences, prior experiences, purpose for being here, etc. I am a bookworm, I read this kabbalah (on the KabU site) for hours and just desire more and more. I enjoy when it makes sense, I enjoy when I don’t understand and search deeper (some answers come 2-3 days later – what a radiant joy!), I argue with the ideas in front of me, disagree a lot, etc. I’m reading the Zohar commentary from 2 sources, the Ashlag is more mature, the one on KabU is like baby food, each small piece grinded down to puree so it will make sense for me. This tells you NOTHING about you. My purpose is to talk with (commune) the Creator face to face 24/7. This means NOTHING to you. Except: I am here to honor our oneness (I am part of you), and you benefit from my joyful involvement. The more light I receive, the easier is for you to progress.

[Joseph – KabU Instructor]

Mrc,

If a person engages in the study in order to correct one’s qualities and come closer to the upper force, which is pure bestowal, then one can appreciate the opportunity to make efforts.
