Which world did Abraham live in? Was it Atzilut?

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

Hi Julia,

All the Kabbalists started out just like any one of us, living in this world. At a certain point their points in the heart awakened, they began their spiritual search, and eventually reached spiritual attainment. But even after attaining spirituality for the first time, Kabbalists continue to exist on the level of this world throughout the entire spiritual ladder of development. This is because this world is a necessary starting point for attaining any spiritual degree.

Thank you for the explanation. Could you please help me further? If all the Kabbalists started in this world, then what this descending line in the picture represents (from Adam to Rashbi)? I thought it represented the different words they lived in, but if all of them lived in our world than I am confused.

Hi Julia,

The graph represents the process of spiritual development. Spiritual development depends on the ego. The bigger the ego, the higher the level of spirituality that we can attain once we correct it. Going down means that more egoism is revealed. Going up means that a higher level of bestowal is achieved, or in other words more corrections take place over the ego.

Why were those Kabbalists depicted as going down on that graph? Because they started out with a very small level of ego and as they developed they began to discover greater and courser levels of egoism.

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?

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

Hi Daniel,

1. Yes, that’s exactly how it happens.

2. I don’t understand this question, please clarify it.
