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

In one of the readings we can read “there is a single reason behind all the negative phenomena. When we understand that reason, we will be able to provide a single, comprehensive resolution”. Does this mean that I will continue to suffer and see people I know (and love) continue to suffer until the whole of humanity comes to attainment? Until we all come to practice love?

Hi Soraziz,

First, I need to correct myself, to balance at least a bit with the Upper Force. In this, I already start to feel the corrected state more and more. The corrected state is where no one is suffering, and we don’t understand how, but also no one ever suffered. The Upper Force did only good to all people in every moment.

As far as i understand prayer is our intention; receiving in order to bestow. Is having a heart felt intention to achieve equivalence of form a prayer? When I feel good/blissful do I pass this to everyone or pass it up to the Creator? How would i navigate these situations? Thanks

[Soraziz]

Thank you very much. I can’t wait to get there.

Hi Roger,

There are several things we need to sort out here. Is the prayer the same as the intention? When I feel good, why do I feel good? Is it because I’ve done an act of connection? My child feels good when he’s watching YouTube? Am I happy because he’s happy? I don’t want him to be happy from that. He can’t bring me contentment from that.

[Roger Fry]

Hi Gianni,  I think my question was, is intension the same as prayer? Maybe if you could clarify that as it appears to be a slippery subject.  Many thanks.

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

There’s Tfila (prayer) and Kavana (intention), two different actions.

In this weeks related material, there was a blog post. In this post Rav Laitman said the government we have know is linear and we need it to be circular. What does this mean?

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

Hi Leah,

If we could see how we’re governing things, from a higher level, we’d see ourselves as parochial and foolish. Like small children who only know about today. You can tell him that if he eats the marshmallow now, he won’t get marshmallows for the rest of his life. He can’t stop himself because he has a chance to have a marshmallow now. If some version of me won’t have marshmallows tomorrow, let that guy deal with that. Let’s say this is linear thinking. The decision you made was horrible, yet you fatuously think it was brilliant. This is how every government is behaving. So the future will be horrible, and theirs too. I don’t care if forests burn down and even if a million people die because I’m playing a sort of Candy Crush with people’s lives, in which I can now see another zero change digits in my bank account. Circular, or integral thinking, I have to be in the quality of the Creator for, or I have to listen to one who is in contact with the Creator. Otherwise, behind any good I try to do, I’ll discover a deeper layer of egoism. The Creator on the other hand is integral, can think in all directions at once, knows that any action affects everything and everyone, and can take everyone into account. Such actions are the only ones that can bring outcomes that won’t certainly bring more suffering to the world.

[Leah Bergman]

Thank you. It is very clear now.

I’m confused about the concept of the soul. We learn that one does not have a soul until one grows it from the point in the heart, which is the ‘seed of the soul’.

In the passage below it speaks about souls that desire spiritual elevation.

But the meaning of the point in the heart is a desire for spirituality. So isn’t a soul necessarily ‘desiring’ spiritual elevation?

 

”We have already stated that in every generation the same souls return, clothed in new bodies and retaining their previous experiences. Therefore, each generation is wiser than the last and aspires for something higher.
During the time of the Ari, the general evolution of the
souls was such that souls desired spiritual elevation and were not satisfied with a mere ordinary life on the level of this world.”

It’s simply that the seedlings are called by the name of that which they have the potential to be.

[Massimo Roselli]

Hi Gianni, why do I see only or mostly men in the videos with Michael Laitman about the lesson preparation for each course?

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

I think those videos are from in-person 3 am lessons with Dr. Laitman and that was generally the makeup of that audience.

So bad karma affects and follows you in your next life only until you awaken to your spiritual calling? If you do then “all is forgiven “ did I get that right?

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

We’re facing a single interconnected system in which everything is recorded. Punishment is felt when I’m not adapted to that system, which is all bestowal – I’m still operating according to what my ego dictates. By doing so I am lining up all kinds of boots in the air that will kick me. But if I start going according to Kabbalists advice then I’m running ahead of those boots. Because they are coming to correct me. If I’m already running towards correction, I don’t need to be kicked. This system is demanding correction from each person, to the extent of their development.
