How to dominate egoism? How to put aside it, if it is the inner instrument that we are been created with. It was given us by the Creator.
Maria,
It is impossible to dominate the ego.
This is the creation that the Creator created and without it we will not be able to receive the abundance that He prepared for us.
All of our work is to increase the love between us so that loving the friends is more important than receiving for ourselves. This is called the correction of creation, where all that we necessarily must receive is received only for the benefit of the others.

Hello
If the “Learn Hebrew Alphabet” video falls short of 2000 likes in 2 weeks and reaches say, 1500, will you still make it a series to continue at least the remaining alphabet? As many the other videos and series, I found it useful and entertaining, but there’s something about the Hebrew language I can’t describe that I find fascinating.
Steve,
We did another video Sunday, so now there are 2 on the topic. We hope we’ll create a course around the topic too.

I agree with Steve, I came to KabU via a wonderful course in the Embodied Hebrew letters, and I believe the spiritual power they hold is an essential accompaniment to this work. The way they bring one down from Keter to Malkut, and then back up, had led me to some wonderful AHA moments. They link into what I m learning here, and to see how the system is so beyond genius that I cannot doubt that they have come from G-d. Even though that’s SUCH wild thing to contemplate !
I’ve been in search for purpose and meaning since I was a child; many things of this search, my world, my family, my place in society, my future, made me feel as an outcast. I have tried a lot of disciplines and paths towards clarity and understanding, and now I see that all of them led me to try and quench my thirst for knowledge (i.e., the fourth desire) disguised as a spiritual quest. This new concept of spirituality as the search for the affinity of form and the ladder that goes from pure egoism to pure altruism is new and intriguing. Thank you for helping me approach it.
It is said “Everything in the universe that is layered around the Creator exists only relative to the creations, and all are products of the original created being, called “Malchut”
I thought the created is Adam Harishon but here it’s said to be Malchut.
Ludumo,
Maybe you are Ludumo the brother, the father, the son, the friend.
You are you, but each time you are called according to how the other relates to you.
There are many names for the vessel in which the light dwells. All according to the degree.
Seth@KabULudumo,
I may be wrong, but my understanding is that Adam Harishon is the oversoul, from which we are each a shattered piece, but that Malchut is the lowest, manifest world , in which we live. Adam Harishon was formed in the spirit world and fell through the barrier when shattered, and so arrived in Malkut.
I d love to know if what I ve said is correct?
My sister has cautioned me to be careful studying Kabbalah. She said it can be dangerous. A few months ago, she saw I had the Tree of Life as my screensaver on my phone. She said she spent 9 months studying it. She is a Yeshivat Shuva graduate, teaches Torah classes and has been a guest speaker at many conferences. We are not Jewish and were raised Baptist, Christian, and Pentecostal. She and my mother have been Messianic Jews for about 15 years now. She said some who study it die young. I haven’t told her about KabU. I know she understands it but I’m not sure she feels it…if that makes sense. Is there danger in studying Kabbalah? If so, are there any red flags we should be on the lookout for?
Jennifer,
Whatever your sister is referring to I don’t know and I don’t care to know.
What your sister is studying and believes, I don’t know and that is her business.
We are studying the structure of reality and what the kabbalists discovered and passed to their disciples and that is what we received.
A kabbalist is a normal person in the world who is connected to the Creator and all of creation in unity in his heart.
You will have to decide for yourself what you want to do.
Good luck,
Seth@KabU
The first lesson I learned in kindergarten was to share. I’ve learned a lot of things since but that one lesson I learned at age 5 has stuck with me. I’ve tried to share as much as possible in my life.
One thing that used to upset me tremendously is when I give to someone and they don’t express gratitude. Sometimes they have even attacked me after I have been completely generous with them. In the past, this has made so bitter, I removed myself from society.
I am wondering about my original intention in all those gifts where I expected gratitude. The bitterness has lifted and been replaced with forgiveness. I have never intentfully thanked the Creator for the abundance in my life, and my life itself. I hope that’s something I can improve on through learning Kabbalah. I really am so very thankful.
Karim,
The act and then the understanding, this is a correct process. You can see, even map out your development in the story you told here.
So, imagine for example that our advancement is like a spiral up.
So each time, you do something, you think you are righteous, this is called that you are filled with the light of confidence.
Following that, the next degree opens for us. The next degree comes as empty of light. We feel disappointment in our progress, unable to justify the situation.
We search, we ask, a new prayer grows in our heart and it draws a new light. And in that light we see so clearly how we were the one that was deficient and how everything happened exactly as it should and we are filled with confidence again.
🙂
And the by these two legs, left and right we advance from degree to degree and each time the light corrects our perception and builds this kli, this vessel for the light to dwell until the end of correction.
