If there was a search feature here I’d use it to potentially save the teachers a little time, but I’ve very curious about something. It doesn’t affect my study, but my mind always seeks to have the details of how things came together. I think it may have been mentioned in the hundreds of hours of listening to Kabu videos, but can’t remember.

What language/text was used around 6000 years ago? What did Adam write in, for example?

OR, was wisdom handed down by word of mouth or translated from text and then originals lost?

Thanks,
Scott

Hey Scott,

“The Angel Raziel” was written in Hebrew. In fact, the Hebrew language was never spoken and was used only as a written language. It wasn’t until the state of Israel was established that it was decided it would be a Hebrew speaking country.

Writing was certainly not as easy as it is today, lack of resources and whatnot, but it was still possible as you see. The Hebrew language itself, its origin comes from emotional/spiritual interaction between lights and vessels so someone with attainment who attained the roots of the letters would not need to “learn” the language like we would learn a language in the sense we’re all familiar with.

Hope that answers your question, thanks!

So as long as I speak as a none Kabbalah, Torah, and Soul. Such is the trade in economics and virtues of distinguished apologies for the Creator? I thank G-d for this KabU!

Thank You Chris, Tony, Gil, Dr. M. Laitman, and everyone

Hey Ben,

I didn’t exactly follow the question. Can you rephrase?

It our pleasure!

[Ben]

I tried to incorporate way to much in 1 sentenced question. I think I wasnt asking a question before KabU, but enveloping in a trinity construct (Community) which let me to many unexplained obstacles. Since learning Kabbalah basics my souls language mirrored my own obstacles within Light and  felt itself and I immediately knew I was born Jewish and need so much correction. So again Thank you Chris!

What are the benefits of listening to the music of Baal Hasulam?

Can you study from Kabbalah books in the bathroom? I know, it might be an odd question. A previous Kabbalah group I studied through advised us to never take the Zohar or any other Kabbalah books into the bathroom. It seemed rather superstitious and arbitrary to me.

[Ben]

stick to the study outside the bathroom and from inside the correction find delight…..Interesting question thanks, Henry

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Hi Joshua,

Hah! I remember at work, going to the bathroom with Shamati was the only time throughout the day I could have any contact with the environment. Even if it was just for a few minutes. I’d take any moment available!

I study full time at university and am struggling to keep up with the daily lessons. To date, I aim to devote my whole attention to a live session or recording. However, as pressure from school increases, I’m less able to tune in and keep up. Can you believe I’m almost at a point where i would be content to stall my own progress spiritually, if it meant that I could at minimum support my ten and fulfill my school obligations! But then striving in the work is one way that I participate in the society and strengthen the environment…. Since I’m sure that there are forces beyond my perception at work here, I’m not sure how to proceed.

My question is, if I can’t give undivided focus to a lesson from start to finish, would you recommend i still listen to it in the background? Even while doing something else like writing an assignment, or cleaning dishes?

Thanks in advance for your help

Hey Ricki,

Yeah, this is a very relatable story. If it’s not school, it’s work. If it’s not work, it’s family. This is how it’s set up from above and we can’t go against it. Of course, it’s set up this way, precisely this way, so we would be given the perfect place to form that special desire which as you know, depends on the environment. Whatever chance, whatever moment (however short) you have to have that environment influence you, even if it is just running in the background and you hear every 100 words, then this is what you have to do. That’s part of your free choice.

Another aspect of that is you would not feel like you’re advancing perhaps. You may say to yourself, “well I don’t feel like I’m getting anything out of it, so I’ll just stop altogether.” We are always wanting to “see” the results and “feel” the results, but the work to acquire the right desire may or may not give us those results and a lot of the time it is just us “adding pennies to the account.” We of course later will recognize this necessary step on our path as something provided to us from above to suit that state perfectly, but in the meantime we just need to lower the head and give as much as we can.

I’d also want to remind that if studying interferes with your school work or you job in a way that is not balanced, this should also be checked. There are necessities and there are luxuries. Do what you need to do and get it done. If you decide there is something else to do that may not be necessity, this is where you need to check and see if it’s actually a place for you to add spiritual effort.

Best of luck!

Why do we need to be physically spread out around the world if what we are working is not physical?  If a person can effect someone Across the world?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Hey Todd,

Are you referring to just humanity in general or those who are engaging in the wisdom of correction?

If you’re talking about humanity in general, you could think of it as needing to develop “every corner” of our reality – open it up, develop it, see it etc. – leaving “no stone unturned” so to speak. On one hand, humanity has to develop and the ego within humanity needs to develop to its final stages. The will to receive is an infinite desire, just as the Creator’s desire to give so is the desire to receive what He is giving. That would be the “corporeal” reason for the separation which of course you can include the spiritual root of the breaking and shattering of our connection between us being seen as this “dispersion” around the globe as well.

If you’re talking about our work between us, then that’s correct, it’s not necessary to want to draw the hearts closer to be physically close. However, just as Kabbalists have done over thousands of years, they are always coming physically close whether it’s once a month, once a year, once every few years or they are studying close together daily. It’s always been something they’ve been drawn to because the strength one receives and can give by being physically close just isn’t comparable to being “virtual” as we call it. However, if there is no choice and a person is truly stuck and their only way of connection is the virtual connection, then certainly this was also arranged from above and in the meantime this is how a person would need to work.

Hope that answers, thanks!

Chris
