Hi Albert is it safe to say that the light changes us periodically, and with this change we read, and see a new different perspective or meaning inside the text?
If so have you ever experienced this before in other places like in music or in other books, and have you ever experienced connections between them?

Hi Daniel,
1. Yes, that’s exactly how it happens.
Check out this blog post from Rav Laitman for more details about the light: https://laitman.com/2013/02/sunbathing-in-the-rays-of-the-reforming-light/
2. I don’t understand this question, please clarify it.

Hello,
Thank you for KabU. I love Kabbalah Revealed with Tony Kosinec and the lessons here on KabU. My question is about when a person is integrated with others through altruism. It resonates as totally true that consciousness of human unity is possible. It’s a little challenging to mentally fathom the experience yet I’d love to know:
Does a person resolve all of their own individual issues imbalances once integrated with humanity?
Must a person first resolve all of their imbalances before experiencing this oneness through altruism?
Does a person have to redirect all of their desires before this experience?
Can a person bestow this experience to another once they’ve had it for themselves?
Thank you again for this course and for Kabbalah Revealed 🙏🏾

Hi Sean,
1. When we learned about the common soul of Adam HaRishon, we saw that the only thing broken in the entire system of creation are the connections between us. This is the source of all the problems in life and really the only thing we need to fix. So once we integrate back into that system, we would resolve all of our problems.
Keep in mind that this is a gradual process, broken down into 125 steps. Every time we rise one degree, we resolve one set of problems and then reveal another set. And this continues until we are all fully integrated back into this system.
Check out this blog post from Rav Laitman for more details: https://laitman.com/2014/05/puzzle-adam-harishon/
2. Since all the problems stem from the shattering, the only way to truly fix them is to correct the shattering. On the level of our world, we’re still obligated to go to the doctor and take care of things in the normal way that we do here. But the true solution is only from reconnecting the parts of the shattered soul.
3. We don’t have the strength to work with our desires directly. It’s ultimately the light that does all the work on us. Our job is only to extract more and more of this force, especially through the Kabbalistic studies, and it does all the rest.

4. Not directly, but we can help others reach it themselves. Which is why we disseminate the wisdom of Kabbalah and open up courses like those on KabU, to teach the world how to use this method.

I’m a follower of Jesus as Messiah. I do not prescribe to a particular Christian denomination; rather I am a seeker of Truth, hoping to learn from the totality of scriptures. I’m hoping to learn from the Kab hidden science and the language of branches to gain a fuller enlightment about scriptures, taken as a whole. Am I looking for too much from this introductory course in Kab? Thank you.

Hi John,
1. Kabbalah is not a religion, it’s a science. Meaning that it’s not limited to people with certain religious beliefs, rather it’s open to everyone.
2. The fundamental courses are essentially that, the fundamentals of the Wisdom of Kabbalah. These two semesters lay the foundation for all of our spiritual work. They help a person understand what Kabbalah is and what it is not. As well as the basic mechanics of the spiritual world, the laws by which it functions, and how we can come into balance with these laws. As a result of coming into balance with those laws, we reveal spirituality in practice, in our lives. In other words, it’s not enough to just intellectually read about spirituality in the scriptures, or to study the language of branches, etc, but rather these things needs to be experienced and attained in practice. This is what studying the Wisdom of Kabbalah helps us to do.

I have watched the video clip and already learned a lot, so I am very exited to proceed.
However, I would like some clearification on the topic of the relation of Kabbalah to eastern teachings. I do understand that they are not the same and that Kabbalah is no religion. But how are they connected? If Kabbalah predates all religion and is at the root of all religions, is it safe to say that for example Hinduism is an (very distant) interpretation of Kabbalistic teachings? And for that matter; are all religions interpretations of the fundamental teachings of Kabbalah?

Hi Nathan,
I’m not an expert in religions so I cannot comment on what is taught there. But in general, most spiritual methods, religions, philosophies, and even sciences in one way or another stem from the wisdom of Kabbalah. Either as a stepping stone for a person to develop through until his point in the heart awakens (such as many eastern traditions), or from an attempt to copy and implement this wisdom (like what early philosophers tried to do, which later on turned into modern sciences), or as a side effect of the concealment of this wisdom (which is how the modern religions and spiritual paths emerged).

Shalom
so this is week one? How do i know when it starts or ends. Or is this done in my own time?
i ordered the books today. Are those for this 5 week course?
G-d bless

Hi Brad,
Yes this is week 1. Every week a new week opens up for self study.
As for the books, yes the recommended books will be used for this 5 week course and the next one. You can read through Kabbalah Revealed and Attaining the Worlds Beyond from beginning to end. This will give you a strong foundation. Kabbalah for the Student is a textbook of source articles. It can be a bit more challenging. We’ll be studying from it together throughout all the courses.

Thank you so much for the course. As one of the instructors mentioned , in order to understand the Holly book we need to understand the language of the upper world (Ein Sof) . Do you have any courses to learn that?

Hi Elham,
It’s not enough to study the language of roots and branches, because it’s not something you learn but rather something that comes with spiritual attainment. Without spiritual attainment, we cannot truly understand these things. It’s like a blind person that is trying to study colors. He can learn the wavelengths behind each one, the different feelings they all evoke, but ultimately he will never truly understand colors. But if this blind person was to undergo an operation and gain his sense of sight, how easy and simple it would be to teach him colors. We would simply point to it and say “this is red”.
It’s the same with the language of roots and branches. It’s currently impossible for us to truly grasp these things. But once we gain our “spiritual sight” we would pick these things up very easily and naturally.
