      In the last grad class, Mike mentioned the term a “Revealed Kabbalist”.  I looked through the Library and found no mention of this term.  From what he said, it sounded like there have been a few “revealed Kabbalist” but they are rare.  Do you know if we have any sources that discuss more about that terminology?

        Awesome. Thank you! Looking forward to the songs for the coming retreat too.

        It’s not really written about because concealed Kabbalist is practically the default. A Kabbalist feels inclined to conceal himself and only reveals himself as a Kabbalist if he needs to according to some need within the system we’re in.

      Since we live a shattered perception of existence and everything including the tiniest particle is a fallacy, according to the laws of physics and the laws of the Creator, outside the group, am I allowed to do anything at all as long as it does not affect my ten, the world Kli or go against the “laws” (the laws Clearly established and proved by our Sages) of our Creator?

        What we’re in is a system of iron laws. It seems that “the shop is open and the shopkeeper is away” but in fact, every move is being recorded. So there’s a big question about how it’s possible not to breach those conditions you mention, such as affecting the ten and the Creator’s laws.

      From the Creator and Israel went into exile:

      “This means that if a person sins while being in the land, meaning if he receives some illumination from above and uses it for his own benefit, meaning says, “Now that I have some flavor in Torah and Mitzvot [commandments], I don’t need faith above reason.” This is called a “sin” because he has blemished the faith above reason.”

      How does this relate to the given that it is better to see the merits of the friends within reason if possible, instead of above reason?

        That’s something else. This passage is about attaining some level and then starting to enjoy it, within reason; accepting my state as coming from me, so I no longer need the Upper Force.

        The second reference is to a state where instead of needing to rise above the bad I see in my friends, I now see them as truly corrected, I love them, and so on.

      Is it appropriate to send uplifting messages with intention to bring connection to the group in personal Telegram messages and not in the group messages. I.E. new Friends enter the group and they are making great efforts to arrange their schedules to make group meetings – send them a personal note of appreciation or if a Friend is felt to be leaving a meeting really down send them a personal message of their importance to the group and try to uplift them?

      Hi Gianni,

      Great YG class on 7/4. One of the WS questions was, what should we do when we feel like cursing the Creator, due to heavy blows, i know we discussed in the groups, but do you like have a concrete answer to this one? let me know.

       

       

      Thank you

        Connect to the friends anyway. In the connection the correct approach is revealed in me, that He’s giving me opportunities.

      I really appreciated the teaching point in the ‘Sunday Meeting with Friends’ session from 24-03-2024.  It was highlighted that Kabbalah was historically concealed because, in earlier times, the lack of distractions meant that masses would have naturally gravitated towards spirituality. Now, in the 21st century, with numerous distractions, those who seek out Kabbalah are driven by a genuine desire, or a ‘point in the heart,’ for spiritual growth.
