Hallo Zohar, first compliments for the staged graduate environment, it is great. Inspiring.
Next, a trivial question, but important somehow.
Knowing the key principles in theory ; (texts ” There is None Else besides him, and He does good to his creations, and love they neighbours (friends) as thy selve”), what I encounter apart of my participating in a group (the Young group since the last 3 weeks) in my daily life is a loving wife, who does good, in some way she is none else beside me (we’re a team) and I love her also ( Ok, she is not my neighbour).
Theory (the wisdom of kabbalah) versus everyday, practical life. No problem, but there is a gap in trying to do good to others in daily life (the horror sometimes) and the yearning of a faster progress while making the efforts. I know, I am impatient. But, besides engaging in a group (check), reading the books (check) and absorbing the wisdom of the Rav : there is still no chance of speeding things up?
With all respect and faithfully yours.
Dear Paul,
Don’t loose that drive and sense of urgency, it is great. In truth, with time, the more you advance, the more of a gap between what you need and want and what you have will grow. Just like you were given small challenges in kindergarten and much bigger ones in high school, and much more later in life.If you are doing everything fully at the moment, attending the lessons, working in the Young Group, reading, and feel that you want to do more…. there is a huge archive of lessons that you can watch, you can read articles in our sources and actually go through them and try to simplify them for yourself, and you can make efforts to add more quality as well as quantity in each of the things that you are doing.
I have a feeling that if you continue this way, you will find yourself asking the opposite – is there a way to do less?
Keep at it, and thank you for your question
Hugs

Hello!
I just want to say that section https://kabuconnect.com/graduate-environment/ is done in a really nice way. I can see all correct date and time (taking into account my time zone) for lessons. And design is also very appealing.
Thank you!
Hi there friend. I have a question. I must have not read something properly and continued with a misunderstanding. Can you please explain the difference between Adam HaRishon and Adam Kadmon. Can the explanation be succinct because my brain is on overload at the moment. With many thanks.
Beth
Hi Beth,
Although they both start with “Adam”, (which in Hebrew is the word for person, and later will also be from the root of “Similar to the Creator”), in fact these two are very different:
Adam Kadmon – is the name of the First Upper World right after the first Restriction and the emergence of a screen upon the will to receive. It is made up of 5 Partzufim – Galgalta, AB, SAG, MA & BONAdam HaRishon – is the One Common Soul created from which we are all parts of. The soul has shattered, and each of us is here making efforts to reconnect the shattered pieces (our points in our hearts) so we can rebuild the Soul of Adam HaRishon.
Hello Dear Instructors,
While figuring out the details to be able to watch live, I have been diving into past lessons (amazing amazing catalog of lessons to start each day – thank you). I came upon this line which has me confused.
“all the other souls” = I thought we were all part of 1 soul Adam HaRishon. Am I misunderstanding this point?
with love & respect

The attachment doesn’t seem to be showing properly:
Where exactly in this image does the whole of reality exist; I, all of the other souls, the Creator, all of us together along with the revelation of our unity? Excerpt from Daily Kabbalah Lesson, November 27, 2009
Hi all. I just entered the classroom of the Graduate Course for the first time. Looking forward to getting to know the community. Any advice??
that’s a good question, often when Kabbalists refer to the points, or the parts of the one soul they refer to them as to souls. In fact, you are right, there is but one soul. There is a great article of Baal HaSulam on the matter:
https://kabbalahmedia.info/en/sources/R1vjNKZU?language=en600,000 Souls/Baal HaSulam
It is said that there are 600,000 souls, and each soul divides into several sparks. We must understand how it is possible for the spiritual to divide, since initially, only one soul was created, the soul of Adam HaRishon.
Can you explain the difference between a Zivug de Hakaa (1) and a Bitush (2)? Both seem to be a beating (striking) of light on the masach? And causing new vessels? The one (1) reflecting the light, the other (2) creating inner light (ohr Pnimi)? Is there an analogy within the corporeal world?
In the case of a Zivug of Hakaa (a coupling from striking), the two Lights that are present in the head of the Partzuf produce a calculation that decides what degree of Light can enter the vessel with the intention to bestow. Whereas a Bitush is the clash between the Inner Light and the Light that remains outside the Partzuf called the Surrounding Light, and it results in the “refinement” of the Partzuf which means that the Light has to leave raising the screen from the Tabur to the Peh of Rosh which sets the conditions for the birth of the next Partzuf.
