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

[Amaranta]

Is there a Kaballistic re-interpretation of the story of Noah’s Ark? Or of Moses parting the Red Sea? Were those stories also written in the code, the branches language?

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

Hi Amaranta,

Yes, the stories in the Torah are written in the language of root and branch.

In Kabbalah we look at these stories as the inner process of development that each person will undergo in their spiritual aspirations. Moses for example is that point inside of us that will lead us out of our “Egypt” out of our egoistic nature.

I have finished week 1 lessons and I bought books to see on my computer recommanded readings.

I recently read in the Zohar that there are 613 mitzvot, 248 positive and 365 negative. Why are there so many? In Christianity, there are only 10 in Shemot  (Exodus), chapter 20.

Thank you very much to answer me to my first question !

[Elisheva]

Regarding the books that are advised for one to read, can one use the LIGHT code, or was it just for the first books recommended?

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

Hi Elisheva,

I’m not sure if it’s meant just for the recommended books. I just tried it with other books and it worked as well.

Regarding Aramanta’s question about Noah’s Ark and Moses, Moses will lead us out of egoistic nature, WOW!

And this message has been in the Torah the entire time I have been reading/studying Torah. I wonder how many congregants in the synagogue know this when we attend services. From what I have learned so far, my Rabbi Chaim Block definitely knows Kabbalah and the Zohar because he sermons have always reached my soul and even answered questions that I did not know I was asking. Hence, as I continue to learn, I will realize the immense wisdom I will know that will help me along the way.

Hi Frédéric,

Numbers in Kabbalah are not quantitative, but rather qualitative. They are used to represent certain spiritual states, like the sum of different properties behind that state.

Just like a computer image uses binary code to represent that image, numbers are used in spirituality to represent a certain spiritual state.

Hello,

I have two questions.

The first is this one :

1) Why this ancient wisdom of Kabbalah was unrevealed for all many times ?

The second is this one :

2) How to start to feel the upper worlds in our life ?

Thank you !

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

Hi Frédéric,

1.  Kabbalah is the method by which we can correct our egoistic nature and reveal the Creator, the general force of love and bestowal. There are 5 levels of egoism that need to be corrected. Throughout history, as the level of egoism grew, accordingly Kabbalah was revealed in a specific form that will help correct that level of egoism.

For example: if you compare Kabbalah to a medicine that can cure a rare disease, obviously you can’t take the medicine before you’re diagnosed with the disease, but once the disease actually manifests, you can take the medicine and be cured of it.

So in our days, now that the full level of egoism has been revealed, Kabbalah became fully revealed.

2. Revealing the upper worlds works according to the law of equivalence of form. Meaning that to feel the upper worlds, we need to become similar to them, to the qualities of love and bestowal that reside 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 have to admit that when I first started learning about Kabbalah, it sounded a lot like Eastern religions to me. I don’t know enough about the Zohar to compare it with the Bhagavad Gita, but the concept of reincarnation is one of the first things to stand out to me. Also the idea that we are all connected, all one, seems apparent in both traditions. I do see that there is no  monastic tradition in Kabbalah as in the east, but besides this, what else is the difference between the two?

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

Hi Belinda,

I’m not an expert in eastern religions, so I cannot comment on that.

Here’s a link from Rav Laitman’s blog about some general differences between Kabbalah, religion, philosophy, and science: https://laitman.com/2011/01/kabbalah-and-other-sciences-philosophy-and-religion/

I keep listening again and again. 🙏 that’s stuck in my brain 🧠.  Thanks

[Nerissa]

When it is said that we exist in a “totality” of which we currently have a very limited perception of, does that imply that after we die, and the soul is freed from the physical body, that we would have greater perception- specifically, can the soul of a loved one who has died be aware of their loved ones still in their physical bodies?

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

Hi Nerissa,

Our physical bodies are not preventing us from perceiving the whole of reality (or spirituality), it’s our egoistic nature that is preventing us. This is because perceiving spirituality works according to the law of equivalence of form. Meaning that to perceive spirituality, we need to become similar to it, to the qualities of love and bestowal that reside 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.

But as long as we have not achieved this type of change, as long as we have not corrected our egoistic nature, which is opposite to spirituality, then we will continue to return to the level of this world again and again, until we achieve that change.

As for the soul, there are different levels to this thing called a soul. In the beginning, we all have an animalistic soul, meaning a certain force that enlivens our animalistic body, similar to any other animal. But the human level of the soul is not something we have by default, but rather something that we acquire by correcting our egoistic nature. In other words, each one of us has a human soul in potential which we call the point in the heart. If we correct that point, out of it, we can build the full level of the soul. If not, that same potential continues to reincarnate again and again until it gets corrected.
