I often hear we should focus on the center of the ten. I have a very difficult time wrapping my ahead around what that means. We are connecting through Zoom scattered across the globe. I’m sure it’s not literal, but is there another way to say it?
Hello Wikus. This is a very good question. The real answer is something that grows and changes in us as we pursue the goal of kabbalah – learning how to put an intention to bestow on top of our will to receive. Here is a link to the best explanation of the “center of the ten” that I have found.

Re. Class 29 March 2022, A Sage Speaks
I listened to each lesson at least twice and make notes and also transcribe/marginalia in my book ‘Kabbalah for the Student’. The past few lessons have been particularly insightful and I cannot thank you enough for your time and I’m sorry I can’t be there with you all in zoom due to time differences.
Approximately halfway through this particular class, Jensen asks if the Bible is Kabbalistic and you say indeed it is and continue to say that the whole of the East including China do not therefore have God, Adam and Eve etc which is included in Judaism therefore Christianity and therefore Islam and that and it will be interesting to see how this piece of the jigsaw will fit into place.
I don’t whether I understand what you’re saying here. Are you literally saying that all those who do not have Kabbalah have no worthy God and that where Kabbalah didn’t spread the people remain without God?
That seems to be an incredibly brazen point to make if this is what you are saying here hence I ask for clarification.
Thank you once again for all your hard work, I appreciate the classes and the work you do (and your music) so much.

Hi Lyndon, here’s a reply from Seth:
Lyndon,
I’m presenting to you what I learned from our teacher, the kabbalist Rav Laitman.
The far east developed for 1000s of years without the bible, without a divine creator. A religion without “God”.This in no way affects the Creator. The Creator fills all reality all of the time, 100% without cessation, regardless of what changes the earthlings go through.
We have some veteran friends from China and Japan who have been studying with us for many years, who teach in Mandarin and Japanese. They are as equal as any other friend in our world group.
Try to flow of the kabbalistic points we are taking from the articles, the rest will make sense as you collect more experience. Don’t get stuck on side things that trip you up and distract your focus from what we are working on.

Hello dear instructors
My question is (from the sources / Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai/ The Vision of Rabbi Hiya) who is a winged one ?
Hello Constantinos. Truth be told, there is nothing wrong with reading any of the sources. But at this stage of the game we advance the quickest by delving into Rabash’s social articles. That said, the winged one referred to is the angel Matat. Here is a quote from Rabash’s Letter #17 about this angel (an angel is a force).
“The operator and transmitter of the upper abundance is Angel Matat, See in The Zohar (Vayetze, p 36 and in the Sulam [Ladder commentary], item 71, that he wrote there). Angel Matat is called the “minister of the world,” whose name is as the name of his rav. At one time he is called by the name HaVaYaH and another time by the name Shadai, since he performs two operations.
He receives the Hochma and gives to BYA, and then he is called Shadai, as in, “He said to His world, ‘enough,’ spread no more,’” referring to the abundance of Hochma, as there was a Tzimtzum [restriction] on receiving the Hochma in the Kelim [vessels] of the will to receive. Therefore, the Emanator brought back the left leg of the Tav back up, and because of it, the leg of the Tav is thick because He brought the left leg back up so it would not illuminate into the Klipot [shells] (see the “Introduction of the Book of Zohar,” p 26, and in the Sulam, item 23).
The second discernment of Angel Matat is when he also has Hassadim to bestow upon the lower ones. At that time his name is as the name of his rav which is HaVaYaH, and Matat is completed and is called by the name of its master, HaVaYaH.”
Hello dear Instructors,
i want to ask about something, i don’t know if it is stupid but anyway.
Lately I feel that I do things (like work) in corporeality that I feel I don’t want to do. Feel like I wanted to occupy myself with other things and I can’t get into them because someone is is presses me to deal with these things that he wants more than me. So I feel resistance to what this other person is telling me we have to do (which may me good things generally but I don’t find such a good reason inside me to do them) . Can I do something about this feeling ? Do I have to just accept things as they come? I don’t know if that makes any sense.
Thank you very much in advance!
Hello Marilia.
Kabbalists tell us that regarding our work in the corporeal world we should do what is necessary to maintain an ordinary life. Obviously, this means sometimes we do things we enjoy, and sometimes we have to do things that we don’t want to do. In the corporeal world we are like everyone else in that world.
