Hi,
I had a question about the first question from the knowledge check, in which it was stated that, “There is no reality outside a person’s perception.” Could you please briefly elaborate on this concept? I was initially under the impression that we needed to develop a sixth sense to perceive in a more holistic, spiritual way; however, that did not discount the notion of a true, objective reality and natural laws of the universe that we live in.
Mira,
Suppose I am a farmer and I need rain. For 5 generations my family worked this land and we count on the rain during this season.
Suppose there is a young couple who will be getting married next weekend and now that it rained last week, the flowers are in bloom, but if it rains next weekend, it will ruin the celebration. So you have two groups of people who are not at war with each other, they don’t even know each other, but when each checks the weather they are hoping for opposite things and when it shows it may rain, one gets a sick feeling and the other gets a feeling of joy and when it shows it may not rain, the other gets a sick feeling and the other ones are happy.
Everything in our life is like this. We are building a reality based on our desires, what we see, what we feel, it is all based on the quality of our desires. As you wrote above, all of reality is filled with endless upper abundance, as you called a true objective reality, but we have no way to feel that. According to our vessels we feel it, and we don’t feel it at all yet.
All we feel is according to the vessels, the upper light does not change. By definition, it does not change.

Hi
In the Kabbalah of Student p13 it says: We were commanded to conceal the essence of the Torah and the work from those…because thus the glory of God demands.
My questions are:
Who commanded to conceal Kabbalah?
How come Kabbalist were more evolved than the rest of the people?
I would like to better understand creation, if it all started at the bing bang why arent we all at the same level of evolution?
Thank you
Hi Sandra,
If you have been to New York, you can tell me where to go to get good pizza. It’s downtown on the east side, by the small park, near the church, on corner across from the flower shop. And I can go to New York and I can see all those places and I can reach the pizza shop and get the pizza and taste the pizza and enjoy the pizza because we share the same world, the same language, the same general senses. Of course giving those good directions to a polar bear, he doesn’t understand you and he has no reference to what is a flower shop nor is he interested in good pizza.
There is a famous rule in the wisdom of kabbalah that one does not name what he does not attain.
Therefore, when a kabbalist writes for us, he is writing from his attainment, he is telling us about the “streets, about the pizza place”, he’s telling us about what he experienced there in the spiritual reality.
All people will reach these sensations, they are the most simple thing, they are the basis of reality, only that we need to develop correctly in order to feel them. All of nature develops gradually in stages. Earth was not covered in vegetation in a day, it was not covered in animals in a day and it isn’t covered in kabbalists in a day, slowly we ripen like all of creation.
Great questions!

If our natural state is the will to receive then I can understand the suffering what is happening in the world. But the people who really make other creatures suffer, are they concious about it or are they just in this cycle of only receiving and don’t know how to get out? And is it to us to make people more concious about it or it is everyone’s own path.
Danielle,
We will learn more about who we are and what is the nature of our reality.
All in all our world is a the last step in a long progression of concealments.
What started as the endless light called Ein Sof, which filled reality in all directions evenly, gets concealed in each subsequent world until we don’t perceive that reality at all and more than that the vessel in which we felt that reality, the sensing organ that sensed that fulfillment has shattered. We are all parts of that shattered vessel. That is where we are now.
But the endless light still fills all of reality and if we can put together a small piece of the shattered vessel then we can feel the endless light. There is no such thing as a small part or a large part of the endless light. If we attain the endless light, we are feeling the endless light.
There is no one who causes any suffering independant of the Creator.
The Creator does and will do everything. That means that reality is still that endless upper light, but what we perceive as a world full of problems is a reflection of our shattered state.
We will have to disseminate this wisdom to everyone in the most digestible and pleasant way so everyone will know and understand what is happening to us and why and how we can reach what is called, “life”.

It has surprised me just how much, based on what I have learned so far, I intuitively put together on my own. I feel I was guided here. Do you think that happens or is it just an interesting coincidence
Hi Mark,
Yes, we have all sorts of sensations like that, whether we piece it together and then read about it or we receive some illumination that gives a person an answer to all the questions. You will discover many phenomenon. There are also times where it is impossible to detect any dirt in the house if it is dark. But when you turn on a lamp, you can see that there is dirt there. So when a new light shines we then feel more dark at first.
At this stage of the work, when we are approaching and we have a lot of enthusiasm, it is worthwhile to keep a notebook and write about these things for yourself. The purpose is not to philosophize, but that about such and such, I relate to it. About this I am filled with wonder, about that I wonder what I will discover. And you will be able to use this to begin to establish yourself, to build a foundation in a world that is above the sensations of this world where we were born a few decades ago.

What comes first: faith above reason, or the drop of unification?
Or does it develop simultanously? And does the resulting transformation of the being attracts the kind of life you live?
Paul,
The drop of unity is the birth of our spiritual life, the seed that if we plant it in a good environment will give us spiritual fruits.
The work in faith above reason is that, it is inner work that we do, meaning we increase the greatness of spirituality, of the Creator, of love and bestowal. The Creator’s work is to create the evil, well what we perceive as evil, that is, there is me and outside of me there is everything else. If I feel something is mine, then I love it, if it is not mine, I have all sorts of criticisms on everyone and everything. But the kabbalists tell us from their degree about a reality that everything is connected in one. So while I feel separation in my vessels, in my reason, I accustom myself to ride on top of my reason, to go above my reason. To attain true faith, it is already called attainment, since there is not such a thing as blind faith in this wisdom, only attainment. Faith means literally a degree of attainment, of perception that is above my mind. Whereas I have my mind and it feels what it feels and also, above that, there is faith which feels a different reality and both exist together. For example if you could be conscious of breathing, you say, ok, I’m breathing, but also I’m running my business. So the breathing is one level of my life and running my business is another level of my life. Similarly, here we have a thought, an action which belongs to reason, which belongs to this world and we have faith which belongs to the spiritual world.
