Ask anything about week 1 lesson and materials and get an answer from a senior Kabbalah instructor.

[Paul]

In video 1.3 Trial and error:

I want to read you a quote that is from the “Introduction to the Book of Zohar,” from Baal HaSulam.:

Bear in mind that the ​Mitzvot ​or the actions between man and man, come before the ​Mitzvot between man and God. Because the bestowal upon one’s friend brings one to bestow upon his Maker.

Another quote from M. Leitman > articles> One Law:

Actions of conscience do not bring a person nearer to the Creator.

Question :But actions of conscience (between man and man ) seem to me  a correction, coming from the heart? That puzzles me. Could you clarify this?

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

Hi Paul, sorry it seems I missed this one. That’s the way the Creator built reality, that if I want to reveal Him, reveal the Upper World, I need to start keeping the laws that exist there before it gets revealed. It’s like a child needs to know the street laws before crossing an intersection. But here, it’s even more. It’s like I live underwater and to exist above, I need to develop new organs of survival. In the spiritual world one cannot exist in the qualities we have now. Therefore, I need an Upper Force to add to my qualities these new organs of perception, 5 new senses. I can draw this force by various exercises the Kabbalists advise for us to practice in the Kabbalistic group. I need to act towards them, as much as I can depict it, like I will act in the spiritual world. I won’t be exactly right, it’s a game of sorts, but I nevertheless will invite the Upper Force to change me.
