I have a question.

I have been in Kabu 2-3 years ago. I had to stop my studies because all my friends said that it was making me crazy. Crazy because my view of the world have changed a lot. Now, I´m back and they still think that way and does not allow me to study, so I have to be here secretly. What can I do? It´s driving me crazy because I want to grow my Point in the heart but I get this negative feedback all around me.

[Joseph – KabU Instructor]

Hi SJE,

I would advise to keep your studies separate from your personal life. Mixing the two might continue to cause confusion. Beyond that each person must make a choice what they wish to strive for in this life. If you wish to grow your point in the heart, you have no choice but to strengthen your environment with the study, the teachers, and the group. Without that you won’t advance. I would advise to no longer talk about Kabbalah or your world view with your friends, they clearly do not want to hear it, and you mustn’t force these things. This will only hold you back and based on your words create separation between you and your friends. When you’re around them just behave like a regular person who doesn’t study Kabbalah.

hi.

with which god name I Can Start?

[Joseph – KabU Instructor]

Hi Humehr,

The Kabbalists do not provide a hierarchy of names which one must progress through. A person relates to the Creator according to the sensation in ones heart. It is not important in what way we turn to Him, just that we do. The advise is to focus on prayer; what is it that I am asking from the Creator?

Hello,

What is Kabbalist’s view of near death experiences ( NDE)? It seams there are more of these experiences in our era because of more advanced medical interventions .Also they have similarities ( such as going to the light, seeing the deceased loved ones, etc) and scientists have been trying to find an explanation about the NDEs.

Also what’s view of Kabbalist about coma and those who remain comatose for years?

thank you in advance!

[Joseph – KabU Instructor]

Hi Roxana,

Kabbalists do not pay any special attention to near death experiences or to other states such as those in a coma. Although it is technically possible for a person to have some minor glimpse into spirituality through great suffering in this world, this is only temporary and does not grant a person true permanent access to the spiritual world. This is not the path the Creator intended for us. A person should achieve spirituality through a longing of love and not through physical pain.

Hello, Roxana,

I think Kabbalah is in no mysticism, fantasies, hallucinations, wishful thinking, imagination, philosophy, dreams, etc.

It is hard work in a group with others to use your ego as a step in ladder to move closer to Creator.

No shortcuts, no tricks, no other options, just really hard work.

Shalom,so I am wondering how correction ov our desires correlate to the individual sephirot,and the development ov our soul?and how does one achieve equivalence ov form to accomplish this correction

[Joseph – KabU Instructor]

Hi Slomo,

Correcting our desires, to be in order to bestow instead of in order to receive, is the means by which we develop our soul. The soul is the connected corrected ten sefirot, which for the moment is shattered and must be reassembled. We achieve this by becoming similar to the Creator. The main tools we have for this are the teacher, the books, and the environment. These aim a person correctly and allow one to follow the method laid out for us by the Kabbalists which bring one to the realization of the soul.

thank you yusuf,so do we have different desires to correct for each sefitoth? I was aware this morning that all that exists is love and desire everything seems to revolve around desire.

[Joseph – KabU Instructor]

Slomo,

The Creator created the desire to receive. This is the matter of creation. This desire operates with the intention to receive, according to self benefit, which is an evolutionary necessity until a certain point. The purpose of creation is achieved by inverting our intention to receive to be an intention to bestow. All that changes is the intention. You can’t correct the desire.

The ten sefirot are a complete spiritual structure and we can’t make such comparison between this world and the spiritual world. It doesn’t work that way. All will be clarified with time, and the effort to make ones intention similar to the Creator grants one knowledge from above. It’s written there are 620 desires that one must correct to be in order to bestow. We will learn what these numbers mean. It’s all a matter of quality. In spirituality there is only more bestowal or less bestowal.

Hi, Does love for others cause karmic bonding and loss of energy?

[Joseph – KabU Instructor]

Hi Humehr,

Love for others causes adhesion with the Creator through equivalence of form with His property of bestowal.

Hello dear instructor,

I asked a question in #57500. This is to clarify my question. My current thinking process is this: My teacher, books, and friends are great because the Creator is great. So the cause is the attribute of the Creator, the effect is the attribute of environment. But this statement is opposite: “Faith in the greatness of the Creator depends on the environment.” — environment is the cause.

Again, thank you very much, instructor.
