Hi,
Did I get this right? You manifest what you hold in your vessel as its creating field where you ate as long you can create that focused energy in your mind? I feel need and desire to get closer to wisdom of Kabbalah and tree of life is already familiar through spirit itself. I see visions and holy books sometimes opens me that way and even cet telepathic messages as open that book and that page and there is exact answer what i was seeking for. That so beautiful, I trust higher guidance and as felt question in my field what you will do after basic needs is fulfilled. I have still need and desire to seek wisdom of Kabbalah, wisdom of this system how it works and be here and do what I can do be lined with my truth of what makes me happy in highest and purest form what would be creativity and helping others spread hope. As everyone has their bubbles of what life is many are struggling still with same issue’s what I did and its been so long time to get that answer is more than hope, its more like you need to see to have point of view outside of your bubble to be able step outside of bubble. I have this asking and then channeling answer in right a way as I wrote. Well you can say do you line with my truth? Reality form based of our bubbles and how we see life as eye is I and means how ego sees. Figured that out when reading The Kybalion and meditating phrase of “Lips of Wisdom are Closed except ears of understanding. There is nice trinity working together in tree of life. Knowledge, understanding and wisdom. There is mentioned 2 of those. Da´ath is sometimes hidden sephirot because its kind a portal to other side and who ever seeking that portal I warn you, you need have some level control and inner strength to face yourself though spirit worlds those whaths “lower” and whats “higher”. If that helps to use how its explained on earth. My truth is that in spirit world where is not so easy to point with nothing else than what you sense as density, frequency, colour seen through “6th sense” while traveling with merkaba. Been using all ancient writings what I sense linking to wisdom what been found. Me being honest, everyone can be sharing to others inner wisdom. Been found great wisdom from second Purana (Vedas) Im not Hindu, or if that makes me hindu then link me to every religious what we have on earth in same way. Spiritual knowledge makes me thirsty and thats why Im here also. Learning more point of views and I sense you as you can sense people in field. We are not so different at all. ascended descended ten becomes just visiting up and down not just once.
Hi Niina,
I’m not sure what you’re referencing. This forum is for questions based on the week 1 Kabbalah Revealed materials, do you have a question about that?
Also it’s important to keep in mind that it’s highly discouraged to mix spiritual methods. If we want to succeed in Kabbalah (or in any spiritual practice really) we should practice it without mixing other things into it. Otherwise it’s like following two different GPS systems. One leads you to the goal through the west highway, while the other through the east highway. If we follow both, we’ll just wind up going in circles.

Hi Anita,
Kabbalah is a science. The Kabbalists are the scientists of Kabbalah. Everything we know is based on their research. This is similar to how other sciences work. The Kabbalists are those researchers that have performed a certain experiment and reached a certain result: the correction of our nature, the revelation of the Creator, the force of bestowal, etc. So if we are to replicate their experiment, to follow their procedures we should reach the same results.
But if a person is not yet on the degree of a Kabbalist, how does he relate to everything he’s learning? Like to any other science. For example, when I read a physics textbook, I see different formulas and experiments that research our reality. If I’m reading this textbook in 8th grade, then I have no choice but to accept the things written there since they come from a credible source. If I’m reading this textbook in college, I’m already given some tools with which I can measure and verify some of these things for myself. And yet there are some concepts that are so advanced, that I have no way to verify them until I become a physicist myself and get access to all the tools that will help me research these things.
Same with us here. There are some things I can verify for myself even when I’m just starting in the fundamentals of this wisdom, and then there are things that I can verify only when I myself have reached attainment.

What did it mean “you now understand and know how to use the readings of the managerial even if you don’t understand it I must have missed that key part in session one there is no one besides him ……
After seeing the video I have 2 main questions:
1. why or how do we descend from the reality into our world? was that a punishment?
2. I would like to know more about the 125 steps
Hi Al,
1. We were created in the state of perfection, in complete adhesion with the Creator. (Baal HaSulam describes this in the article Introduction to the book of Zohar). But this was an unconscious state, like a baby in its mother’s womb. So we necessarily had to come to the complete opposite state, to lose that state of perfection, in order to once again reach it, but this time consciously.
And the fact that we had to lose this state is not something bad, but it’s a necessary part of our development. It’s just like with kids. We don’t just give them a completed jigsaw puzzle. On the contrary we take it and break it down into many pieces. Then in the process of them putting it together, they grow and develop. Same with us, this process of losing that state is a necessary part of our further growth and development.
This process also adds to us a certain level of freedom, without which, we would be no different than machines, or robots, that were programmed to act a certain way and they just carry out this inner script. Instead, we were programmed one way, and we rise above this inner programming, become independent of it, and then develop our own desire to advance towards this goal.

2. The number 125 comes from the structure of the upper worlds. This structure is just a division of the spiritual desire that we need to correct into sefirot, partzufim, and worlds.
The most basic division of the desire is 1 Sefira. 5 Sefirot compose 1 partzuf. 5 Partzufim compose 1 world. There are 5 worlds in total. So 5 worlds each with 5 partzufim each with 5 sefirot equals 125 (5x5x5) steps on the spiritual ladder, or in other words corrections that need to be performed on the desire.
In the book Kabbalah for the Student, there’s an article called Foreword to the Preface to the Wisdom of Kabbalah which lists these 125 steps in the language of sefirot/partzufim/olamot(worlds). For now, these are just technical terms for us, but in the future lessons we’ll dive deeper into these things and learn how to feel and experience them.
In simpler words, the 125 steps represent the difference between us and the Creator. The Creator is a desire to bestow and we are the desire to receive. Adapting our desire to receive to work in order to bestow takes 125 steps. So to the extent that we correct our nature, make it similar to the Creator’s nature, to that extent we’re “climbing” this ladder.
In other words, ascending or descending this ladder is not a physical action, but rather depends on how much we’re similar to the Creator’s quality of bestowal (ascending) or less similar to it and more egoistic (descending).
All of this operates according to the law of equivalence of form. Check out this blog post from Rav Laitman for more details:

Hello. I’m wondering if there will be instruction to use any of the books that was recommended to supplement this course.
Hi Park,
Each weekly lesson has recommended reading materials from the course books. Here is the link for week 1.
Furthermore, it’s recommended to just read through Kabbalah Revealed from beginning to end. After that, you can also read through Attaining the Worlds Beyond.
As for Kabbalah For the Student, this is a textbook of primary sources, it can be very difficult to read on your own. We’ll go through those articles together throughout the semesters.

Hi Aleta,
Lo Lishma and Lishma refers to our intention, the reason for why we’re studying Kabbalah. Lo Lishma means that we aspire to spirituality egoistically, for our own sake. While Lishma is when the light corrects our initial egoistic aspiration and makes it operate purely in the direction of bestowal, for the sake of the entire system.
