Before I came across the teachings of the Kabbalah. I went through a period where I felt everything spiritual was taken away from me. I thought of this time as my dark night of the soul and that maybe God was testing me in some way. But even that comfort was taken away from me. Until I was in a state where I wandered in a world where there was no G-d. I began to try to reach g-d but tried to follow all sorts of other beliefs. Atheism, Paganism, Wicca, native religions, and Natural Magic. Nothing made any difference and I wondered in Darkness. Then I came across some YouTube videos by Rabbi Jacobson and Rabbi Friedman. The more I watched the more I enjoyed them and the more they spoke to me. I began to feel excited and had a feeling of peace. I joined KabU and as I studied felt a growing sense of the creator’s presence. I am sure I have a long way to go, but my sense of peace has not wavered.
hello
1) can the correction happens for some in their moment of death
2) what about some spiritual masters that reveal that when we discover who we really are we will see that we have chosen everything we experience here ” name, family, events…) in details before we come to this world
Marouane,
1. There are also corrections that can happen when a person dies.2. There are many spiritual paths. Here we are only engaging in the wisdom of kabbalah that we received from our teachers, so I cannot speak about any other paths. When we attain the spiritual degrees, we are above time and space, above the bodies. The things we are engaging in are so much bigger than what was my name and what town was I from 15 lives ago. We are engaging in attaining the unity of all of reality in perfection and eternal wholeness and pleasure.

If everything comes from the creator, how is there free will? Even the need to be like him is from him, therefor bestowing through our intention to him is also something he has coordinated…is it not?
Vania,
This is the correct question.
Think of how many grandparents and great grandparents participated in making you. How their genes, experiences and traits formed you into who you are. You didn’t have any control over that. Yet we feel so free.
We’ll discover that we are in a closed system and all of our free will is agreeing with the perfect, whole, integral, loving system that we are in.
This isn’t an answer that can enter the ear, this is felt in the heart after much exertion and time.
We’ll get there.

2. Today I searched & found this first hand account of Rav Michael Laitman’s NDE and it started answering my question.
http://www.kabbalah.info/net/a-firsthand-account-of-a-kabbalists-near-death-experience/
From what I understand, our corporeal life is an important & crucial opportunity to work on developing our soul consciously as after life we know ourselves as spiritual no questions asked. However here God is concealed and we have to work hard at recognizing what is real and unreal, what is a context here for our growth and what is our eternal reality, and how to reconnect & return to God?
Marvelous lesson as always!
Learning about this complex development program that we are a part of, makes me feel wonder and gratitude for our soul’s existence. When i start the process of developing my point in the heart, I feel that I am gradually more encouraging towards others doing the same, since each of us will be driven towards developing & transforming, and I’m eager for them to feel the joy of developing themselves as I feel developing myself.1. Would this gratitude and thankfulness I feel, and my prayer that others also develop the same way, be a way of pleasing the creator?
2. I feel sorry for my departed loved ones, that they haven’t used the opportunity of their life on earth to pursue this transformation, can they continue developing in the afterlife, parrallel to myself, through the bond of love we have?
Andreanne,
Yes, certainly. Like a new child when she finally recognizes her mom. Until then, she is more or less unconscious of her mom, she is attached to her, and dependent on her for everything, but then one day, she looks at her mom and smiles and it fills mom with such joy. But what did the little, helpless infant do, except look up and acknowledge the upper one.Regarding your second question, I see you found one of Rav’s articles. That’s great. You can google “Laitman blog [any topic]” search for any topic you are interested in. Rav has published extensively and I’m sure you’ll find wonderful material.
