Hello everyone! How do we actually do it (the Screen) in real life? For example, let’s say I trade & invest in the share market. Earning a profit makes me happy. How can I apply the Screen here? What should be my thought/intention so that my receive (profit for myself) becomes bestowal? Thank you!

[Joseph – KabU Instructor]

Hi Henry,

The short answer is you can’t use the screen, not yet anyways. The intention to bestow, that all of ones actions will be in order to bring contentment to the Creator, to the one who gives the abundant pleasures we experience in life, is built gradually.

A person must operate under the guidance of a teacher who has already attained this, utilizing the authentic source texts which aim us to the correct goal, as well as working in an environment consisting of others who also aspire for that same goal.

These anchors are important because it’s very easy for a person to become confused and lost in a fantasy that they create in their minds without actually progressing towards acquiring the intention to bestow. This is because we do not have an example in this world of true bestowal. So a person has no pattern with which to work towards.

Only by following meticulously the advice of the sages can one build a screen. As we progress through the study we will delve deeper into the writings of the Kabbalists.

Hi Permal,

A student studies in whatever language they feel most comfortable with. Most of the source texts have been translated to the major languages. If a student can read Hebrew, then they study the original Hebrew texts; however, it is not necessary in order to grasp the material.

Hello,

Here are my questions :

First I would like to know if you will complete the series “Bible Secrets Explained by Kabbalah” on You tube.

I saw that there was Genesis Episode 1-3 only and then it skip to Noah Episode 1 and so on.. it will help me to understand better with these videos.

Second could you explain to me what is Light? Not just its definition as per Kabbalah but its intrinsic meaning, its purpose and how are we related to it?

Third I learn from  the Torah as well as your videos that Adam was the first man, it is literal when you say he was the first Kabbalist as well as human on earth? Was there other human being apart him at that time? If so, how was the earth populated? And if not, why was he the only one to be mentionned?

You see, some scientists are still skeptical about the fact that he was the first man on earth. So I wanted to know what Kabbalah say on this matter.

Thank you in advance for your time and answers.

Have a good day 😉

Hi Permal,

1) I do not know the answer to that question, but I will try and find out for you.

2) Light is the sensation of the existence of the Creator. It is the connection between the Creator and the created beings. We do not perceive the essence of the upper force but only attain it’s influence upon us. Kabbalists refer to this influence as light. Attainment of this light is the purpose of creation, and the inner need to reveal this is what brings a person to the wisdom of Kabbalah.

3) Adam is referred to as the first spiritual man, meaning he was the first person to attain the upper force—to attain the light. Although there were others who lived prior to him, it was only from Adam that the counting of time began since those before him were still in the preparation phase for attaining the upper force.

Good day,

I wonder, we claim that all that we observe may not really exist outside of one’s mind per his/her inner perception, how is that a number of people could see/observe that same object or agree on some common standards that we sense with our senses -> those are the normative accepted by society?  we all agree that hot is hot, while it is realities but hot is hot and cold is cold, where sour is sour- no one would say its sweet…

So when people agree on something that means its not just ones perception -> it likely means it is in fact exist outsides of ones mind.  looking forward to hear your thoughts.

Thanks

Alex

Hi Alex,

Yes, this is what the Kabbalist explain to us. The fact that we have similar perceptions is because we all function according to the same inner program—the will to receive. This desire determines how we perceive the world and in this we are all similar.

Thus, we take reality and we divide it into thousands of categories according to the expression of our will to receive. But these impressions we receive from our surrounding world, although similar, are actually the opposite form from what truly exists because the Kabbalists tell us that outside of us is only the quality of bestowal.

The fact that we may buy into the same dream, so to speak, doesn’t make it any more real. It’s real for us right now on our current degree of development, but when we rise to a higher level of perception, we understand how real it actually is compared to the reality we will discover—that of bestowal.

Thank you very much Joseph, happy you understood my question as it may appear simple but confusing-> your answer is on target. Despite, the answer being on target- It is challenging for me at this point to fully comprehend this. I am working on it 🙂 Thank you!

Dear people,

When it took us thousends of years to come to this state are now. The separation of us with the creator. Does that mean it also takes us thousends of years to get back of the state of unity and on the same time healing or connection with nature. When I am reading now that we can go back to one single nation, and when i see what is happening in Israel now. I never saw from a distance so much hate, and it feels for me I just see for the first time even a tiny part of it. That makes me feels very worried. Not only of the hate which is between the people, but meanly also to the nature. It makes me so sad to see whats happening to the whales, rainforest trees and bees and such. Often I feel restlessness and anger inside me against people who are doing this and I don’t know what to do. Do I need to be worried, or is it all just working out how it should be. It just all feels like a long road, and I do have trust, but what happens now in the world and feeling connected with the war because my girlfriends family is there I feel mainly  hopeless.

Hi Danielle,

Generally speaking it’s written that the entire correction of creation must take place within 6,000 years. Although we are currently 5,881 years into this process, it can happen at any moment. This is because in spirituality time does not work the same as in our world. Rather, the passage of time is according to the change of desire, from receiving to bestowing. So if we hasten the process of changing our desire to resemble bestowal, and this means we acquire an intention to bestow atop our desire to receive, then we can reach a complete connection with the Creator at any moment.

Regarding your attitude to the world and everything in it, the Kabbalists teach us that everything that happens is from the Creator. We are not yet developed to the degree where we can understand what He does and why. But we learn that we should try to see everything as happening for our own good. Think about the birth of a child. The process takes quite a toll on both the mother and the baby, but this pressure is necessary for growth and thus acts as a positive force.

Still, there are some things that happen in the world that you will not be able to view correctly. And the advice is to simply continue and do what is within your power, which for now is mainly delving more deeply into the supportive environment that will help instill the correct thoughts. From that everything else will become clarified.

I wish you and your family the best!

Joseph
