Would it be a good idea to think of drawing the reforming light for the friends while reading from the sources?  I mean when you are by yourself.  What are some tactics to use when reading by one’s self?

It’s best if I never feel alone. I’m always with the ten. Reading about Kabbalah without a ten is like someone without a body reading about the human body.

Hello, after the retreat a month ago, many serious health issues appeared in our Ten. What is going on?

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

We can’t connect the two. Do health issues suddenly appear or are they 40 years in the making? Or were they there, and it’s just that I became aware of them? Or maybe there’s a broader mechanism I’m not privy to. We don’t see how reality works behind appearances. But we can use these opportunities to pray for the ten.

Is there anything i shouldn’t be doing on the Sabbath concerning “studying kabbalah”?  What about the man who gathered sticks on the Sabbath… and since im here, a second question on the topic : No work on sabbath, what does “work” mean in kabbalah?

thanks

Hi Brad,

Spiritual Shabbat is an inner state that one might reach on a Wednesday or any other corporeal day. I recommend these posts on the topic:

Let me know if you have further questions.

Wonderful, so, “work” is working on our “ego” and on Shabbat, we let the upper light do the work, or finish the work.

When you said “shabbat is an “inner state” one might reach on a Wednesday etc .  A passage from the Talmud came to my mind, maybe you can tell me if it is hinting to this “inner state ? Or approves this idea “between the lines” so to speak?

 

Shabbat 69b:4-7

Rav Huna said: One who was walking along the way or in the desert, and he does not know when Shabbat occurs, he counts six days from the day that he realized that he lost track of Shabbat and then observes one day as Shabbat. Ḥiyya bar Rav says: He first observes one day as Shabbat and then he counts six weekdays.

 

thanks

What does Baal Hasulam mean when he says people have angular brains?  Thanks

Hi Todd,

 

I don’t recall such a quote. But it’s true. We’re structured in a shattered way, while the spiritual structure is round.

Hello,

Is it known who were the authors of ‘A Prayer before a Prayer’ ?

Thank you.

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

Hi David. It’s by a Kabbalists called Noam Elimelech.

[Peter]

Why is the word faith present in the terms ‘faith within reason’ and ‘faith below reason’. Because in those states there is no sensation of the Creator right? And faith means sensation of the Creator as I understood it.

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

Hi Peter,

It’s because those are related states, even though in Faith Below Reason and Faith Within Reason there’s no attainment of the Creator. Each is a certain relationship to spirituality, an attitude. But only Faith Above Reason is a formula that yields spiritual attainment.

[Peter]

Thanks Gianni
