Am I perfect or far from it as perfect is infinity?
- March 23, 2024 at 9:21 pm EDT #365791Chris – KabU InstructorModerator
Hi mrc,
Perfect would be completely whole with the Creator. We were created exactly opposite to that. Our natural state is imperfect and we gradually work to revealing how imperfect–revealing the corruptions–in order to ask for corrections.

i watched a video where tony says that without a group trying to achieve the goal is completely moving target. i still don’t understand why it’s something you can’t achieve alone. i never really understood it. isn’t like “giving” such an immensely broad goal that it’s not difficult to miss?

Hi Michael,
That’s natural to not understand. It’s the most opposite to what we want to do, and opposite to what our logic will tell us. It’s against our nature–and in that respect you could say that precisely because it’s against our nature points to something that is worth investigating. After all, the wisdom of Kabbalah is a method of correction.

once you reach the first level of correction do you become immortal?

Hey Michael,
Do you mean, the body does not die?
- March 24, 2024 at 11:49 am EDT #365844MichaelParticipant
no i mean like do you perceive something that keeps you alive even though your body dies.
- March 24, 2024 at 11:20 pm EDT #365938Chris – KabU InstructorModerator
You don’t connect life to what you feel within existence alongside your body.

Is there a thing as false pleasure, that associated with falsehood?
- March 23, 2024 at 9:17 pm EDT #365788Chris – KabU InstructorModerator
Hey mrc,
Sure, pleasure that is obtained “in order to receive”

Is there a triple concealment?
- March 19, 2024 at 6:51 pm EDT #365305Chris – KabU InstructorModerator
Hey mrc,
Not “officially” but if you want to consider those who have no idea about the path of correction and how nature is leading them in a precise way–they have no clue of where their independence lies, where true fulfilment lies etc., you could say this is a deeper concealment than the double concealment, but typically we just refer to concealment relating to one whose point in the heart has already awoken.

in the blog article “religion and kabbalah are opposites” Rav writes , re:
“Moreover, Baal HaSulam writes that a person can only begin studying Kabbalah after he becomes secular”
Where did the Baal HaSulam write this? I think i asked you before…
thanks

Hey Brad,
I can find the quote, but I’ll tell you the interpretation of this requires redefining the world “secular” and “religious”. In this case, he’s referring how a person uses their will to receive. One first must be disconnected from the Giver, and this disconnection BHS refers to, often, as “secular” in one way or another. Meaning, before one can start the work in correction, the recognition of evil, of disconnection from the Source must be apparent and felt. If one is “religious”–also in the meaning you’re familiar with–this person would not feel they are lacking connection with the Source and would have no reason to engage in corrections.
Hope that’s clear, thanks!
