Hello Julian,
Concerning the group, how is the batching done? Is time zones taking into consideration to ensure availability?
Again, meeting in the group physically or virtually, which is more effective towards achieving the goal of revealing the Creator?
It can be done either physically or virtually. In the end, if you’re physically together, no physical action helps, as you need to move your heart, where no one sees, and thus each has free choice in that aspect, to work internally or not.
Time zone may be considered for one’s ultimate ten, however, during the Grad Program, it’s based around the U.S. time zone.
This seems hard because my native language isn´t english. I understand quite well but can´t speak what I would like to speak how I would normally speak.
That’s a good question, Brian. Look at nature, atoms, molecules. They connect, but actually it’s not that they themselves touch. If we look closer there is always a force that connects between all of the parts, which, at their scale are lightyears from one another. With us too, we need to connect – meaning the Upper Force needs to solidify the connection, make it real, that we’ll feel a reality as thick as soup binding us with the others above time and space. We can give names to the forces that bind us: love, bestowal. But we have to feel that to understand. To this question we can write thousands of pages of words since there is nothing else in reality but connection and nothing else to do except connect more. In the connection all the Upper Worlds are revealed, all good that can be. Due to lack of connection unfolds all that is undesirable.
Hi Gianni,
I can sense a lot of my minuses and I’m bothered by them a lot. I feel them as limitations that are close to impossible to overcome.
Is there a practical way to deal with these perceived limitations? To rise above them?
For example, I feel more comfortable in a small setting, preferably me and another person. I’m not used to being on camera, or in a group of more than three people. I’m sure this is an ego issue ultimately.
Thank you for any thoughts you might have. How do I overcome these limitations practically? I love what we’re learning and I’m very eager to correct and connect, and attain the Creator.
It’s natural to be less drawn to larger groups, for many who come to Kabbalah. This isn’t going to be like any group or social gathering you’re used to. This is where all strive for equality, not to stand out, because we’re aiming for a oneness that is equivalent with the Upper Force. And no personality is really being expressed other than the unique expression of each one’s spiritual aspiration. Therefore, wait and mark my words that you’re going to prefer the ten to any one on one gathering – based on the attainability of the goal that you start to feel at your fingertips in precisely that form, as it is written , “in the multitude of people is the King’s glory.”
Hi Gianni!
In the “Recommended Reading 2” Section, the “Awakening to Kabbalah, Chapter 2 – In The Beginning (pp.25-42)” has no link. I couldn’t find it in kabbalah.info either. Do we have to purchase the book to read this chapter or is it a glitch in the link?
I don’t know, but I just googled this an got this link: http://www.kabbalah.info/files/public/Files/books-excerpts-pdf/Awakening%20Excerpt.pdf
It’s not the whole text but I believe it includes at least that part.
In the reading from Awakening to Kabbalah it states, “Anything that happens in our universe is a result of events that occur in the upper world and cascades to ours.” I am struggling to understand this concept as I perceive a lot of chaos in this material world, what events in the upper world where our root resides are bringing on this degree of suffering? As I think I understand, the root or maybe Creator chose to awaken the point in the heart in the desires clothed by this skin Joseph. I did not have a choice on timing for this awakening. But, I now have true freedom of choice where those points in the heart that lie dormant do not have this freedom. Question, why not awaken all the points in the heart as the awakening appears under the control of the upper force and not the individuals in this world? Why not give all the same freedom of choice at same time? Would this shorten our evolution? I am trying to understand how I can truly have an impact when much seems predetermined by the upper world.
We’ll know the answer to that not today, not tomorrow, but at the end of correction when we attain, first of all why we ourselves awoke now and not before or after, and then the entire system of souls. The others are heavier, have greater Aviut (coarseness of desire) than us, so they need to awaken after we make our corrections. The corrections you make in the system help the ones who come after you. You only know that if you awakened, it is upon you to realize yourself spiritually as quickly as possible. And you’re right that I was given a very narrow range of movement in a free way: if I am awakened, I have to follow all the advice of Kabbalists. In this I simply, instead of being a slave to my ego, I become a slave to Upper Laws. But this is the choice. Later, we’ll learn why for true freedom, it had to be this way. This isn’t a real free choice, yet, but a relative free choice.
