Why is it that at times when I go to study kabbalah, I get hit with this sense of apathy or lack of motivation? How does one overcome such feelings of distance from the creator, where studying kabbalah seems futile sometimes?

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

Hi Ben,

Spiritual advancement happens specifically from the ups AND downs. It’s just like the EKG chart that measures the heart. If there are ups and downs, the heart is beating, the body is alive. If it flatlines, the body dies.

Likewise in our spiritual work, our advancement is composed of many ups and downs. But if we’re in the same state for a long period of time, then we stop advancing and are spiritually dead.

So what you are experiencing is normal. We go through many states on the spiritual path. Many ups, downs, and everything in between. The main thing is to just keep going, to keep placing yourself under the influence of the light, especially during the Kabbalistic studies (lessons, videos, Q/A forums, books, etc), and it will balance everything out.

If Kabbalah is not a religion or a form of mysticism, how has it been passed down? How has its transmission avoided religious-style expansion?

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

Hi Yijun,

Kabbalah has been passed down from teacher to student for almost 6000 years.

Check out this blog post from Rav Laitman for more details: https://laitman.com/2011/06/kabbalah-without-a-trace-of-mysticism/

Kabbalah avoided religious style expansion because the Kabbalists followed the strict rule that “there is no coercion in spirituality”. Meaning that we cannot force someone to study Kabbalah. We just wait until a person develops the point in the heart and then they themselves come searching for it.

I am unable to purchase the books needed for the courses do to financial issues.  Is there anyway to get the materials needed for the courses any other way?

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

Hi Lezlie,

Kabbalah Revealed and Attaining the Worlds Beyond can be found in our online Kabbalah library.

Kabbalah for the student is a collection of articles from the writings of Baal HaSulam and Rabash. All the articles that are in that book can also be found in that same library.

I got to sit in on the YouTube video, but not the Zoom call. (It’s hard for me to get away in the middle of a Sunday.) Will all the YouTubes and Zoom calls be midday on a Sunday?

I read something in a course description that implied we’d eventually be put in groups of 10 to continue study. Will I still be able to participate in that if I’m not able to come to the Sunday Zoom calls?

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

Hi Logynn,

In the graduate semester, when we go into groups of ten, there are live sessions throughout the week as well. So hopefully you’ll be able to find a time that works for you.
