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.
What lives in the world of Adam kadmon ?
does the soul live there ? Or is there coinsioussness there ? I imagine a shard of a soul there on the top like the sims game.
David Monolo has added this comment about the world of adam kadmon:
Adam Kadmon – Primordial Man
Following the feeling of shame in Malchut leading to the Tzim Zum (first restriction) a system of worlds was created for the sole purpose of giving birth to Adam HaRishom. Without the formation of the worlds, start with AK, we would never have been given the opportunity to willing start the process of building our soul. The more we connect and correct our oppositeness to His qualities the higher we ascend the worlds back to Him. We are in a very special time when many of us are feeling this deficiency for connection. Let us use everything the Creator is giving us and start the process back up the ladder, ascending the world to life of love and bestowal
Hello Simon. Here are a couple of excerpts from Rav’s lesson of 3/26 that seem to address your post.
40. RABASH, Article No. 936, “The Time of Redemption”
Baal HaSulam interprets that the Sitra Achra [other side] and the Klipa [shell/peel] and the evil inclination are all but the will to receive, and this applies in both mind and heart. That is, the rule of Pharaoh king of Egypt and of Pharaoh’s servants is the rule of the will to receive over the organs, meaning that all 248 organs—when serving the will to receive—are called “slaves of Pharaoh.
39. RABASH, Article No. 22, “What Is the Order in Blotting Out Amalek?”
Generally, Amalek is called the “evil inclination.” However, specifically, the evil inclination has many names. Our sages said (Masechet Sukkah, p 52), “The evil inclination has seven names: Evil, Uncircumcised, Impure, Enemy, Obstacle, North Stone. It also has other names such as Pharaoh King of Egypt and Amalek.”
Dear jim, Good question by Simon.
You say Amalek is the general term for evil [inclination] why is uncircumcised and north-stone attributed with evil?
You also use the term ‘organ’which implies a physical self-contained vital part of an organism which does a certain function . . ? I am confused?
Thank you. Lyndon S.
Hello Lyndon. First off, these are not my words. These are the words of Rabash from Articles 936 and 22.
Secondly, do not be confused, in kabbalah the sages are never speaking about the corporeal world, although they use terms from this world. As I recall, uncircumcised refers to a desire without an intention to bestow. I do not know what north-stone means in this world, but it seems Rabash is using it to refer to the intention to receive for my own benefit. Organs refers to desires.
Hi, today I went to the “graduate environment” page and I don’t know where to start. Should I wait or have I already missed something. I would ask you if you can just give a little guide on where to start.
Thank you so much!The Grad Environment offers a ton of great material, recorded lessons, and three, sometimes even 4, live lessons each week. It’s the ideal place to build a spiritual framework and strengthen your connection to the text, the instructors and your fellow points in the heart. You can easily join and access a full week of content from right here on the Grad Environment page.
Tuesday evening you can join Seth for a journey through Baal HaSulam’s articles in “A Sage Speaks”
Thursday evenings join Mike for the Grad Class, with a rich digest of Kabbalist Dr. Michael Laitman’s latest daily lessons.
You’ll find a similar session conveniently slated in Central European Time under the title “Weekly Portion of Light” lead by our senior KabU Instructors on Sunday’s
On Sunday evening join Tony and yours truly for “Sunday meeting with friends” where some of the most fascinating Kabbalistic subjects will be explored, and you can bring any question and integrate with the deficiencies of other students.
And to top it all, Everyone in the Grad environment receives a special invitation to join what we call the “young group”, which hosts the centerpiece of the GE, where you get to methodically explore Practical Kabbalah, and the building of a Kabbalistic group according to the principles of Rabash.
(Young Groups start every couple of months, be sure that you too will be invited to join the next available one)If you miss a lesson, you can simply go to any of the courses and click on the link to previous lessons, or head over to the VOD section for a complete archive of every lesson we ever aired.
Every class, every instructor, opens up a unique doorway into the spiritual world.
I hope to see you this Sunday at Sunday Meeting of Friends, and I will do my best to elaborate more
Hello!
I’m new to the Graduate Environment and am still orienting and re-adjusting my daily rituals to it. When I was doing the KabU courses, I would spend 30 minutes on the next part of whatever course I was on, either reading or listening to videos, and then reflect. The courses always gave me a “next thing to read”. Does the Graduate Environment have something similar? For example, are there weekly readings associated with the Graduate Class, Weekly Light, or Sunday Meeting that I could use in my daily study? If not, I’m wondering if someone has a suggestion for what could be in my reading queue, given I just finished the course sequence ending in Kabbalah Experience.
Thanks for any suggestions!
Hello Trip. Here’s a reply from Zohar:
For the most part, the Grad Environment has different sources to read each week, and with the exception of the the Young Group, it doesn’t follow the course of a curriculum that you could plan ahead with. The Young Group will start soon, and there, you will be following the Rabash social writings. Another lesson weekly that will leave you with a specific reading is Tuesday’s Sage Speaks, as it follows the articles of Baal HaSulam, so you could spend time reading the articles during the week that Seth is teaching.
Most of us veteran students that have been around for many years, find out several hours before our daily lesson what will be taught that day.Thanks Jim!
Where do you find out several hours before the daily lesson? Is there a reading you do beforehand to prepare?
I’m in the Grad Class and notice the instructor seems to be reviewing literature and students questions about it, which makes me think it’s an assigned reading. Is that the case for this session?
Dear Instuctor,
FAO: Seth.
I am following-on from you guys watching your videos in the archive. How do we find a copy of the Poem of Unification. Thanks Lyndon S
Hi Lyndon. Zohar has this response: The Poem of Unification, is a traditional poem that is sung in certain prayer services during special times. It is not something we have in our sources, it contains praise and other beautifully written words that depict our relationship with the Creator in a poetic way with rhymes.
It is only mentioned in several places by Baal HaSulam, and occasionally has a few words quoted.Chaim Ratz sent this link. this:https://he.wikisource.org/wiki/%D7%A9%D7%99%D7%A8_%D7%94%D7%99%D7%97%D7%95%D7%93
it’s from the hebrew wiki, but if you open in chrome it translates to english.The English translation did not work for me.
