Hey Seth,
Like many people, I had my spiritual awakening around 2 years ago. Since then I lost contact with my family and friends, because now we have nothing that resonates between us. Luckily my girlfriend supports me on my path, although she herself isn’t into spirituality.
I know I can’t wake people up from a corporeal view, but can I influence it from a spiritual view? Does progressing on my path, change them too?
Tom,
We learned already many times and you need to review again that everything in reality develops according to the 4 degrees. We learned in Kabbalah Revealed 1 about the 4 phases of direct light. We also learned about Inanimate, Vegetative, Animate and Speaking. And also within the speaking degree there are inanimate, vegetative, animate and speaking. And everyone is required to come to this wonderous goal of uniting all of humanity as it says, They will all know me from the least to the greatest. And also, My house will be a house of prayer for all nations, etc.
It is normal that when we start to study something so deep and wonderful that other things in our lives loose interest.
Nevertheless, we do not disregard the Inanimate, Vegetative and Animate degrees, not in the world and not in humanity.
You didn’t stop going to the grocery store or the gas station since you started studying kabbalah, so be a healthy son, brother, uncle, father, etc.
In the meantime, you are having a secret love affair with the Creator, you don’t need everyone around you to know all of your business. You work, you cook, you hug, you speak, all normal things that people do.
Don’t worry about fixing everyone else now.
We are falling in a black hole of our own will to receive. Let’s stabilize ourselves first.
We’ll learn how everything else happens later and we’ll see how the Creator will arrange every next degree for us.
Our work is in our correct attitude towards what he prepared for us.

If the original Adam split into 600,000 part, what does that mean because obviously there’s more people than 600,000. What’s the symbolism? Where does that number come from?
Yvon,
There are no quantities in spirituality. All of these numbers that we come across in the books of kabbalah are measurements of qualities.
Our teacher Rav Laitman wrote like this, “Malchut, the created being, connecting with Zeir Anpin, the Creator, attains His six Sefirot, and is multiplied by the height of the discrepancy between them. The result is 600,000.But the fact is that there is further division to reach the required quantity because everything depends on the resolution of our emotions, our awareness, connection, and mutual integration into each other.”
Here is an article from the giant kabbalist Baal HaSulam whom all of our method is based upon.
You’ll be able to glean something here.

Puede el agradecimiento por cosas “buenas” que nos ocurren tambien ser expresado como una oración al creador?
Hi Seth,
The revelation of evil on my home continent Europe is kind of an overkill these days. Spirituality feels very distant, just like in the Tipp of the Week.
I don’t want to talk politics to anyone, but just by not taking any side, I make people angry.
How do we stay neutral in such situations?
And I pray that all the Tens of Bnei Baruch suceed in their prayers for peace. Thank you for praying!
Greetings
Ralitza
Ralitza,
There are certainly friends of ours from Russia and from Ukraine who each feel some alegiance or some valor towards their home country. Even if they study and disseminate together, it is natural that there will be a person who feels loyalty to his nation and ideal.
So these friends are not neutral.
But our work is not to be neutral.
Our work is to cover all the separations with love.
It means to ask the Creator to cover all the separations with love.

In the reading it states the Creator hears our prayer if it is a whole prayer without other things mixed in the middle of the prayer. Can you help me understand the meaning? Coming from years of religion where I learned the incorrect way to pray, I desire to pray in correct form as prayer is something that has become natural over the years. I pray inside while doing everyday tasks. I am feeling a need to make sure this time is devoted in correct focus/intention. Currently, my self judgement recognizes many uncorrected desires that take space from my true desire of growing the point in the heart. Many times in prayer I ask for correction of these desires which can be many. Is the text saying I should focus the prayer on one desire until the light enters and corrects then move to the next desire instead of praying for the correction of the many desires at once?
Joseph,
You need to make fine tunings.
When you pray, speak to the Creator like your closest friend and ask Him to help you to bestow upon others. Your prayer will change. It is not so important the words. You need to find some contact with the wisdom of kabbalah so you feel what it is that you are looking for in your life, that it is not some abstract, blurry thing, but you start to feel where your soul will be developed.
Don’t think you know what it means to bestow or that you are going to go out and do something with your hands and feet that you will consider that you are bestowing.
No. It is not like that. It is more like we are a little baby and we don’t even know how to speak in full sentences yet, but by being with our parents, with the upper ones and we develop correctly.
And also read the materials again and again. You will see how much the light in them helps you.
Seth@KabUThank you Seth, I was in a space where everything was just neutral, feeling going through the motions, doubting the light was going to enter, after your reply I doubled down on the intention for the light to enter through the Kabbalah material to position point in heart towards learning bestowal in a group (my ego’s greatest current fear). I started the Kabbalah concepts with Eran, and even though I have heard many of these concepts before, this time there is a feeling of penetration in my being. Could it be the preparation intention cracked the door enough to allow some light in? I really desire to be in right space of desiring to bestow when entering group work.
Joseph,
The most important is the preparation and especially above our thoughts and feelings.
Not blindly like a religious fanatic, not at all.
I have scrutinies in my thoughts and emotions. I’m tired, I don’t feel anything, but I already prepared myself and established myself in the group of students, so I go above my reason, I go as if I have the mind and feelings of the sages not with my own mind and feelings, even though I do not erase my own mind and feelings, I keep them and also above them I have some new mind that I don’t yet understand, but I’m like a baby in the parents arms so I don’t need to understand, as long as I hold on, I am going with them.
Stay connected to the sources from week to week as much as you have time for while maintaining your regular life too.
Good luck,
Seth@KabU
Hi Seth, as related to Niki’s question on the middle line, your response, and concept of prayer; would the left line be our self judgement? The right line our asking Creator to change our perception to better understand Him? The middle line the desire corrected as reforming light engages?
