Dear Friends and Instructors,
I have the following question about the tradition of the wisdom of Kabbalah that has been handed down to us through Baal HaSulaam and Rabash to Rav Laitman:
If this school of Kabbalah (Bnei Baruch) is the most legitimate and effective method in the world today, and if the only way to realize or maximize the outcome of this method is by working in a quorum of dedicated fellow Kabbalists (a “Ten” as you call it), then why is it that we hear only from a single bearer of this tradition, Rav Laitman?
One would assume that had Baal HaSulam, Rabash, and Rav Laitman enjoyed the optimal outcome that is to be had from this rare treasure that this success did not occur to them individually, but that their colleagues within their respective quora reached the highest worlds together with then in mutual guarantee; and that they too would have wanted to share this glory with the world just as our own glorious teachers have; or, at least, they would have testified publicly to the absolute veracity of this most august school of wisdom so that its dissemination might be all the more expedited and empowered.
Thank you for your help.
Sincerely,
~ SeraphimDear Kabu,
Re. Reading Audios [a suggestion and thanks]
I have watched [and continue to watch] Mike Kellogg’s excellent lessons in the Grad Environment and note that Beth Shillington frequently reads an introductory excerpt or tract of text substantiating the coming lesson and the area of the lecture followed by Mike.
I implore Beth Shillington to take-up reading these texts and hopefully to read whole audios in the near future. She has a wonderful reading voice and calming and clear countenance which is clear to follow and understand. I noticed her beautiful voice sometime back and wanted to say this to you and to encourage her to read more.
Warm wishes to you all and thank you. Lyndon S.
Hello friends,
From Kabbalah revealed,
Faith in Kabbalah is defined as tangible, complete and irrefutable perception of the Creator.
Question: So how can we, kabbalah students, without any perception of the Creator be expected to go faith above reason?
thank you
Adelina
Hello Adelina. Good question. At this point we can not really feel what the kabbalists call faith above reason. Here’s a reply to your post from David Monolo:
Faith above reason is granted by the Creator as an answer to our prayer for adhesion. To reach this prayer we need the assistance of the light. Evoking the light happens when we try and make actions which are in alignment with the light. These actions are performed within a group of kabbalistic students following the advice of the Kabbalists. At times, these actions will feel against our own personal reason as they are aiming us toward love of others, which is against the nature of the ego.
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.

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,
