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

If we think bad of other people does it effect them, if judging others positively do we think that it doesn’t effect them?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Certainly. Thoughts are our most powerful tool.

Torah says Abraham gave milk and meat to his guests, but halacha says “can’t mix” dairy and meat, it only appears he broke that rule, but it can be said there was a time gap,  but im assuming there is a deeper meaning in kabbalah…?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

It illustrates the necessity of maintaining a proper separation between the forces of bestowal and reception until they can be harmoniously aligned in the middle line.

Abraham’s act of serving milk and meat to his guests can be seen through this lens. It wasn’t about breaking a dietary rule but symbolically indicating the future spiritual work of integrating these lines through a proper middle line, which will be achieved at a later spiritual stage.

Is understanding havanah or binah?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Both I’d say.

[mrc s]

Is it better to be more egoist or less?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Better to be more bestowing as much as possible at every moment.

[mrc s]

After the breaking of the vessels do we still experience the bread of shame or every happiness we earn it?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

We’re guarded from it by doing the “work”, meaning, we compensate and instead of as if receiving abundance without “money” to pay for it, we acquire the intention to bestow which “covers” our debt.

[mrc s]

In what stage do we feel the bread of shame, is it after stage one when we receive infinite pleasure?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

It’s before Tzimzum Aleph.

This keeps us from feeling it directly, but when acquiring the restriction and screen it’s felt where it is and what it is as opposed to completely hidden from us what was restricted and why.
