Hello Ma Da. Actually I don’t connect to the 10, the Creator does this for me, by way of the Reforming Light. I attract this light by doing all that I can to follow the advice of kabbalists using the Rav, the Books and the Group. These efforts lead us to a correct prayer. A correct prayer is immediately answered.
Dear Instructor,
FAO Seth
Re. Apr 5, 2022 | A Sage Speaks
I posted a question on the 13th of April and not had a repy from seth yet. The question starts “Thank you so much for your reply to my last question, appreciated as always pal.”
Could Seth please reply when he has time, this would be so kind. Thank you all so much.
Lyndon S.
Hi Lyndon. Well I see now I am reading the posting dates incorrectly. Sorry about that. I will forward your April 13 question to Seth.
Hello Lyndon. I will again send your question to Seth. He may have missed it. My answer would be that the problem here is labeling the war as “dreadful”. In the corporeal world we label things as good or bad by how they make us feel. In the spiritual world, good or bad depends on whether it brings me closer or further from the Creator. In kabbalah we learn that everything comes from the Creator and it is all good (including war, earthquakes, pandemics, etc.) Our reality only has one purpose – to bring us closer to Him. A good parent will discipline their child when they see it is in the best interest of their child.
Hi Lyndon, here’s a reply from Seth: Hi Lyndon,
Happy to get your heartfelt question. I can feel how this terrible situation before our eyes is so confusing while we are learning about a perfect harmonious spiritual life.
The answer that any of us can give will not go in your ear. We can explain a lot of things, but the answer that you want, the answer that we need comes from the development and establishment of our inner vessel, that we make our inner vessel similar to the light.
So let’s try to hold this concept for a minute and we’ll go from there.
Let’s imagine that we are in a perfect, whole world but what we see is the opposite.
So leave all of the other learnings on the side now about your roots and branches and your Malchut dwellers.
Imagine that the extent of the suffering you see is the extent of our distance from the Creator. Like the speedometer in your car. It’s just showing you the measurement, that’s it.
The suffering is just the gauge to show us our distance from Him.
It’s unusual because we don’t feel that distant from Him. That’s exactly what we’re learning and all of that suffering is just our disparity of form. So instead of naming it any of the other names that you’re giving it just try and think of it in terms of that for now and let’s keep moving closer to our goal and see how as we come closer to bestowal we will start to perceive a world that is all good.
Together,

Hi,
I joined the KabU graduate environment this week.
In attempting to change the payment method, I get a loading screen which after a while, just reloads the course page. My current billing method is not adjusted to the new graduate plan. Can you help me change the payment method? (I submitted a contact form and emailed Melody, but got no response).Also, what exactly is the next step? I see that there are ongoing “young groups”, but where should I start? From what I understand I will only be assigned one group by the beginning of the next semester. Is this right? When does the semester begin?
I apologize for the insistence, but I remain without any replies from anywhere and I was already removed from the graduate environment.
Everyday I attempt to do it but it fails. Now the ‘add payment method’ button is gone. Find in attachment the screenshot (by the way the ‘delete’ button for the current payment method doesn’t do anything). I tried in 2 browsers.
Dear Francisco,
Sorry we didn’t get back to you sooner.
For these matters you are better off writing to our student support team at [email protected]
Michelle or Iva will surely help you fix this issue. There may be a bug in the payment system and they can get it cared for.
I am forwarding your information to them now so you should be hearing by email from them soon.
Have great day
ZoharDear Zohar,
Emailed [email protected] with a clear explanation of what is going on (plus screenshots).
Hopefully I will get a reply soon.
Thank you so much for your help.
Hopefully I will be able to join soon.

Re. Apr 12, 2022 | A Sage Speaks
I loved the above class, wow it was so varied and ranging and yes strange {but good]. I love your quote near the end “If you think you are having a spiritual descent just have something to eat, it may just be your blood-sugar levels [laughter]”, great and fun quote, but seriously thank you.

I noticed you said there were some “young group like” groups we could attend now. Do you mind if I ask where in the GE area you are referring to. Thanks and kind regards.
Hello Richard. I did not say “young group like”. There are two actual young groups going on , each of them somewhere in the middle of the current semester. You are free to join those zooms until the next semester starts, then you will be invited to your own young group. To find these groups go to the KabU landing page and click on Graduate Environment. Scroll down and you will see 7 large images. Each takes you to a different place in the graduate environment. The first two are the Sunday and Tuesday Young Groups. Questions are always welcome.
Hi, I recently joined Graduate Environment and I feel a bit lost. I tried to post here a week ago and it seems as my question got lost 🙂
Can someone please guide me on what am I supposed to do in The GE? Is it structured or do I just watch videos? How do I join the 10?
Thank you
Hello Yana.
Welcome to the Graduate Environment we are very glad you are with us.
The GE currently consists of six interactive components, and you can use all or some of them.
The heart of the Graduate Environment is the Young Group. You will be receiving an email assigning you to your group.
In the meantime, you can visit either of the current Young Groups (one on Sundays and another on Tuesdays) to get a feel for it and start connecting with friends.
On Tuesday night “A Sage Speaks” taught by Seth Breitman covers some of Baal HaSulam’s articles.
On Thursday night “Grad Class” with Mike Kellogg explores one of the aspects of Kabbalah that Rav Laitman taught this week.
“Sunday meeting with Friends”, hosted by Zohar, is a chance to ask any questions about our work and study in kabbalah.
“Weekly Portion of Light” is taught by Gilad Shir.
Also, you have access to the “Forum” where you can post any questions you have, and they will be answered by KabU instructors.
In the event you missed, or want to watch again, a particular class, all are recorded and archived.
There are also links to all sorts of Kabbalah materials such as songs, articles, videos, so explore the site.
As you have heard, joining a ten is a very important part of Kabbalah. Once you have been assigned to your permanent Young Group, about 4-5 weeks into the semester, the YG will be divided into tens and you will work with this 10 throughout the course.
Use the Graduate Environment how it works best for you, some, or all.
Enjoy and Connect
