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

[Angel]

Are there other deities? If so, how did they become deities?  Is it also like in that Star Trek episode that if you do not worship a deity they cease to be?  Thank you.

[Angel]

Thank you, that was very helpful.

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

Hi Angel,

There is only one Creator. Our job is to become similar to His qualities of bestowal to such an extent that we’ll reach adhesion with Him.

[Chavdar Filipov]

Why did the Upper Force feel the need to create and start the shattering to exclude us from the perfect connection we were previously in? Is this a test? Someone that does not understand the Oneness of Reality might say that this was cruel, no?

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

Hi Chavdar,

In the article Introduction to the book of Zohar, Baal HaSulam describes how we were created in the state of perfection, in complete adhesion with the Creator. 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.

[Araya Kebede]

How can a person practically train their mind to perceive the single force of love when facing a very difficult or negative situation in day-to-day life?

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

Hi Araya,

We can do different exercises or set reminders for ourselves to help us think about these things. But to actually perceive the Creator in practice, not just intellectually, for that we need to become similar to Him, to His qualities of love and bestowal. This is just like how a radio can pick up an external wave, when we tune the internal frequency of the radio to that wave.

We’ll learn how to do this in the more advanced lessons, in the meantime, check out this blog post from Rav Laitman for more details: Check out this blog post from Rav Laitman for more details: https://laitman.com/2013/04/everything-is-attained-by-the-equivalence-of-form/

Looking forward to this journey

[Barbara]

Would someone who knew Hebrew more easily understand all of the teachings, history, and background 0f Kabbalah?

I just read Albert’s answer to this very question from another students.
