Dear Teacher,
Could you please help me understand the gender division I am experiencing? I have heard many times that all are welcome but I keep seeing classrooms full and also all teachers seem to be male. I would like to know if this is by design? If so, why? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
gratefully,
Hi Marz,
You’re seeing video from Israel maybe? At KabU we’re all together, men and women. And in the Grad Program we’ll all be on one Zoom and sometimes do breakout rooms together, however the man and the woman, though the reach the same goal, have different work they need to do to unite and thus reach that goal. Meaning men have to unite with men, in their style, which whether they know it or not, is completely different from the style in which women unite. Like in an atom you have parts that have this charge, which unite together in a circle, and parts that have that charge and unite in their own field, in the group too you have those who are charged like this and those charged like that. They can change all their skin and organs, and this inner immutable essence will remain eternally. Therefore, when doing the serious inner work, we’ll be together but in our own circles. And then we unite as two group like the protons and electrons form an atom, and we form together Adam HaRishon.
How do I know if the group is of real points in the heart (seekers)? How do I know if some members of the group are fake and whether I am trying to connect with the wrong people? In today’s world there are fakes of everything!
It actually doesn’t matter here. You will understand later, when you understand what the whole method requires, why the Baal Shem Tov paid a drunk musician to play for him and uplift his mood so that he could make spiritual ascent. You can pay actors to act according to the principles we study here and you can ascend by that. No problem. Therefore, I don’t care if the friends are real or not. If they are willing to play this game, which is against the ego, for free, and they are even paying to be here, that’s good enough for me. Also, no, from what I know about human nature, without a true Point in the Heart that pushes them to be here from inside, one will not find the inner fuel to remain here. One has to have this inner attraction to reaching the source of life, the goal of Creation.
