Ask anything about week 2 lesson and materials and get an answer from a senior Kabbalah instructor.

[Eliyahu]

Based on the article “There’s none else besides him” where it is described how he attracts and rejects an individual until he comes to a point that the individual wants to hold on fast to the realization that the creator is the only operator, but even loses that sometimes, because it is the creators will, how can I understand that there will be any free will ever?

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

Hi Eliyahu,

There is none else besides Him does not mean that we have no free will. It means that we are in a closed system with absolute forces and laws. We cannot change these laws, but we can consciously work on putting ourselves under their influence in order to speed up our development. This is our free will. How do we put ourselves under the influence of these forces and laws even stronger? By choosing/building for ourselves a strong spiritual environment.

So if I understand correctly, our life is predetermined for us? work, family and I guess when or how we are going to die?

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

Hi Sandra,

You can say that anything that takes place within our default nature, the desire to receive pleasure, is predetermined. Only when we rise above this nature, do we gain any sort of freedom.

I always thought that I was free in life and could do whatever I wanted, but after studying Kabbalah, I realized that I could only change my attitude towards things, and that it hurts.

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

Hi Zohreh,

All of our pain and suffering comes from being stuck within our egoistic nature. We are currently enslaved to our egoistic nature. This is why freedom starts when we rise above our egoistic nature. We do this specifically thanks to the spiritual environment that we build for ourselves.

Does this mean I cannot ask God for anything?

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

Hi Kay,

What is the “this” that you’re referring to? Please provide more context for your question.

[Ricardo Vinicio Guerrero Cisneros]

i understand then, that we have no way of knowing all those unconsciuos past experiences and from which past soul they may be coming from, right? It sounds very much to Freud postulate on mind dynamics; So we are a composition of complex past endeavours seeking perfection through time and space, and all we have, is that inner root to contact the light to help us achieve it in one life time, right.

 

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

Hi Ricardo,

Yes, you can say that. Keep in mind that the important thing is not just to learn this intellectually, but rather to realize it practice, to fully realize our point in the heart. Which, as we learned in this week’s lesson, is done by choosing for ourselves a strong spiritual environment. It’s like each one of us was given a priceless seed. What happens to that seed is ultimately determined by where we plant it. If we plant it in a good soil, with the proper nutrients, it’ll develop one way. And if we plant it in the desert or a nutrient deficient soil, it’ll develop differently or perhaps not at all.

Hi there Albert. I was wondering if you can explain to me the difference between Adam Kadmon and Adam HaRishon. Thanks.

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

Hi Beth,

These are two separate things. Adam Kadmon is a part of the system of worlds. While Adam HaRishon is the active part within this system. Similar to how you have planet Earth and you have people or those that inhabit the planet.
