Hello.So the 4 worlds have their own separate effect on the physical world or they act a a whole?
Also the represent the psychical ,mental, emotional and spiritual level at a person and the 4 elemental energies?
What ways are to connect to these levels?
Hi Joseph,
The upper worlds means higher levels of love and bestowal. Connecting to those levels works according to the law of equivalence of form. Meaning that in order to discover them, we need to become similar to them, to the pure qualities of love and bestowal that are found there. 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.

I really enjoyed this introduction and look forward to learning more. I understand each individual is different and that a lot of inner work will be required to fulfill this learning but am I right in thinking that everyone will have a different experience/reaction and if so how will you know if the answers to your questions are right?
Hi Janet,
Yes, we’re all unique and experience the world through our uniqueness. How then do we know if this is the place for us?
When the point in the heart awakens, it pulls a person to the place where it can get realized. So when a person finds such a place, there is a certain inner resonance, a click where a person feels that he found the right place for himself.
So no one can tell you if this is the place for you or not, you need to feel it for yourself. This follows the rules that “there is no coercion in spirituality” and “one studies only where one’s heart desires”.

For my whole life i have know that there is more, and I finally feel that it is ready to be revealed to me. I feel very vulnerable and lonely on this journey, but with it, a sense of purpose for my soul. Thankyou for your teaching, I am already inspired to know more. You speak very well, as if speaking to one that knows nothing about this whole process. Refreshing. Thankyou.
Greetings,
Can you tell me more about this concept called Yehud and how to change our moral inner nature in order to achieve connection to the Upper World?
Hi Vladimir,
Reaching the upper world works according to the law of equivalence of form. Meaning that in order to discover and reveal spirituality, we need to become similar to it, to the pure qualities of unity, love, and bestowal that are found there. 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.
In practice, we do this by aspiring to the quality of Yehud, unity. By uniting our point in the heart with other points in the heart, we reach a certain equivalence of form with those spiritual qualities and begin to experience spirituality in practice.
We’ll learn how to actualize this in the more advanced semesters. In the meantime, check out this blog post from Rav Laitman for more details: https://laitman.com/2013/04/everything-is-attained-by-the-equivalence-of-form/

I find concerts of Kabbala in other modes of thought, is it Ok to connect these modes to what I am learning here?
Hi Lori,
Regardless of which path a person chooses for himself, whether here or in another place, it’s highly discouraged to mix 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.
