Dear Instructor, I tend to read this, then that, and then I find this fascinating then that – you get the idea

I therefore need a study structure, not in an academic sense, just so I can have my own study programme to keep-track and have structure each day or at least something I can follow week by week.

I asked Gianni about this sometime back and he suggested start at the Talmud Eser Sefirot, I have looked at it and yes its good but on kabbalah.info  it is incomplete and only has chapters 1-18 & 16.

Can you suggest how I can get this in full to read/ study,  thank you so much, Lyndon S

Hi Lyndon. Here’s a reply from Zohar:

Unfortunately not everything was translated in TES It has to do with prioritization of translator’s times.  There’s only so many translators that can produce a good quality Kabalistic terms translation and there’s a lot to translate.

Thank you Jim.

Re.  The War of Gog and Magog’ [06 Mar 2022].

Question for Markos,  I watched your great YT video ‘The War of Gog and Magog’ [06 Mar 2022].  Thank you pal.

Does the war/ battle as depicted on Mt. Megiddo which is said to  take place near the end a depiction of the final battle within all of us to fight the final fight ?  Is this the battle predicted that the righteous one can win and  claim victory and  finally claim the ultimate goal and travel on the path to Unification and Equivalence of Form with the Creator in Jerusalem and being so, completely metaphoric in this sense.  Thank you.  Lyndon S

PS.  Mt. Megiddo is not a geological feature it seems, it is a man-made mound [tel]; interesting?

Hi Lyndon, here is a reply from Markos:

The war of Gog and Magog is a constant war, but it pertains to our era specifically, which is called “the end of days” because our era is the one where the final desire—desire for spirituality, point in the heart—emerges among the biggest and last development of human egoism, characterized by negative qualities such as hatred and social division becoming much more succinctly felt among humanity.

Winning the war means reaching the end of correction (Gmar Tikkun), where we reach the end of the world (Heb. “Olam”), i.e. end of the concealment (Heb. “Alama”) of the force of love/bestowal/connection, and entrance into its full revelation through adhesion with it (equivalence of form with the Creator).

That this war takes place in Jerusalem means that we fight and win the war by being in a state of “complete fear/awe” (“Jerusalem” from “Ira’a Shlema” [“complete fear/awe”]), i.e. fear/awe in the presence of this great force of love/bestowal/connection, which leads us to have no other desires but that of adhesion with it.

And of course, in order to reach such a lofty state faster, more enjoyably and with more awareness—and also alleviate a lot of unnecessary suffering on the way—we can implement the method of Kabbalah, which can be briefly summarized as working on raising the importance of that goal, connecting in the group, and attracting the forces of love/bestowal/connection from above (surrounding light) through the study.

If you’re interested in this topic, then I recommend watching the film, Jerusalem of the Heart: https://youtu.be/WzN_5R0FcAc

Thank you Markos & Jim.

Dear Seth,

Re :  Yehuda Leib HaLevi Ashlag (Baal HaSulam) / Letters / Letter No. 57

I am not clear from lesson/class ’15 Feb 2022′ [the rollecoaster class!]

What does ‘“Whatsoever you find that you are able to do by your strength, that do’ [letter 57]?

I am confused that the article/ ;letter states that you realise that you are actually capable of nothing in reality by his own strength.  This is at conflict here as it says I am capable of nothing so how can I do what is in quotes above?

Thanks Lyndon S

Hi, Is there a complete copy of ‘’Yehuda Leib HaLevi Ashlag (Baal HaSulam) / Letters’?  I think it is called ‘Sage’s Fruit’ I am looking for it in PDF so I can have a rough copy to mark, note and put my notes in the marginalia without defacing a property book.  Thanks,  Lyndon S

[Jim – KabU Instructor]

Hi Lyndon. If you go to kabbalahmedia.info, then click on kabbalah library, on the left side you’ll find the writings of Baal HaSulam. Here’s a link to his letters: https://kabbalahmedia.info/sources/9ZIJ9CkI

Also:

‘“Whatsoever you find that you are able to do by your strength, that do’.  Ultimately there is none else besides Him – He does everything. But in order for us to see that as reality we have to do what ever we can to realize it. In other words, do what the kabbalists tell us. If we do our part the Creator will finish the job of raising us in spirituality. Kabbalists call this putting in our half shekel.

Thank you so much I appreciate your help very much

Hi friends, beautiful website thank all of you that make this possible!

I have some questions, what is the place in Kabbalah for all these holy books: the Mishna, the Babylonian and the Jerusalem Talmud? Can you recommend some editions in english or spanish?

Best regards.
