Ask Anything

[Gil]

Ask, connect, inspire.

[Kima]

As our sages advise us that one must always try to seek advice to bring contentment to the Creator.
Where should one seek advice from? From the Creator? Friends? Instructors or the Teacher, Rav?

What does seeking advice mean? Is it to always be in the thought all day, what will bring Him contentment?

Than you

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

From the books, the rav, the group.

[Kima]

What should motivate us?

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

Giving the Creator more and more contentment, so that I pour more and more efforts into this, wanting nothing in return, like a bank account that I want to put every penny into, and just this act gives me pleasure.

[Kima]

When we read together in the Ten, the words of the friends, and for example, reading Shamati, does it guide us to feel the Upper World? And what if you truly feel that each words of the friends is leading the ten to feel the upper world

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

Behind the friends stands the Creator, and if you hear the words of the friends, these words can take you out of yourself, into them, and into the Creator.

[Kima]

A follow-up… Someone who doesn’t speak, can he learn Kabbalah?  If yes, what does it mean to listen to or hear the friends?  

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

He could, in theory – if he really couldn’t. Not if it’s my choice because I just don’t want to. The speaking and listening with the mouth and ear is a segue to the inner mouth and ear. So, listen with your external ear, with your heart, and you’ll discover the inner ear.

[Kima]

What does behind mean? Because in Kabbalah, we don’t corporealise words. That’s why I am asking.

What I was trying to ask is that, when reading kabbalistic books, for example, Shamati, the words in it, are they guiding us to feel the Upper World? And if so, we should align our thoughts with that when reading? And that should be the effort or Mitzvah?

Thank you

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

‘Behind’ means that through this externality you discover deeper layers. But it’s through this layer. It’s the same with the books. Through them, they take you out of your thoughts and desires into those of the author, who is in contact with the Creator. He takes you by the hand to the Upper World.

Had an experience of something with a friend (phenomena?, Reshimot? ) not sure so I know Reshimot are records but that gives me nothing so what is Reshimot and what do i do with it once a Reshimot is awakened. Which might be what this was. not sure.

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

We really speak of spirituality when we say ‘reshimo’. In our experience, the Reshimo we have is the Point in the Heart, the backside of the last degree before all we feel is our world and spirituality is not even a vague memory. We want to follow this awakening we got, to increasingly spiritual discernments. The Reshimo is the record of the next degree , that allows us to awaken towards it. If for us it’s the first spiritual degree, then it’s the reshimo for the first spiritual degree. The Reshimot are like breadcrumbs we can follow up the spiritual ladder.

 

 

[dree monster]

ok so what is it called when the points in the heart feel to each other as like talking?

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

Let’s say a glimpse of a future much more connected state.

[dree monster]

well I desire to follow the breadcrumb to the higher state so what texts can I read or draw light to this? Im not sure how to chase it and use it correctly once I do get there. (insert thinking emoji here)

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

The hardest thing is to once and for all, nullify before the ten. That still lies ahead. Any of our texts that you read together, with this deficiency, will suffice.

[dree monster]

so if we are reading together with the intention to rise to higher states will help to nullify before the ten? this feels not aligned right. I can’t comprehend what i read so It is hard for me to understand correctly.

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

If we are reading with a DEFICIENCY to reach specific states of connection between us. We have to play the states we want to be in, so that we and others will have a deficiency for them.

Hello,

In Shamati 198, Freedom, what is “SAM”?

Thanks so much for your time and help.

Warmly,
Marium

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

SAM is called the angel of death, that wants to drag us to spiritual death. It’s the ego as usual.

[Marium – KabU Support]

Thanks so much, Gianni! 🙂

How can we correctly represent our friends during and after the morning lesson? In our ten, we follow up after the lesson, and each friend has a designated day to represent the group.

For example, if I’m the one representing the friends, what should I be focusing on during the morning lesson, knowing that we’ll be gathering afterwards?

Should I be thinking about how to help my friends increase the importance of the goal? Or should I be asking myself what they want to see from me in that moment?

What should I take with me in the morning lesson so that I will be able to deliver (don’t know the right words to use here) to them?

I’d really appreciate your advice on this. Thank you.

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

You build yourself by working in all these directions. Eventually they will come together. But you need all of it – to work with the intention, to worry about the friends’ spiritual success, to work toward each friend and toward the center of the group. If you can’t work on them all together, work on them one by one. As long as it’s with a request to the Upper Light to also work with you, it’s effective and advancing you all.
