      What do people DO in the group? What is the activity that allows us to see? What does the group do????????I get nervous that it is sounding a bit New Age ish all the sharing and loving …etc. Sorry but this image of 1970s encounter groups keep popping up in my mind.

        Hi Jill,

        It has nothing to do with new age, which was a little confusion humanity had a few years ago. The Kabbalistic group is a concept that is a few thousands of years old. Because I need to have a relationship with the Creator. He made it so that that would not be realistic unless I start working not with my imagination but with the reality He has set before me. And that I would scrutinize what entry point there, there might be, that I’m searching for Him through the parts of reality that are also searching for a relationship with Him; and that’s why I need to unite with others in a Kabbalistic group. Then He will reveal Himself to me, from behind the group.

        Hi Jill, I am another student.  I have sort of the same skepticism.

        Hey Jill,

        I am not an instructor just a fellow classmate that has been looking at your question.  I think Gianni answered it perfectly in the previous post as far as what we do in the group.

        “Once it’s corporeality we’re talking about, the approach is to internally ascribe all things as arriving in my experience from a single Upper Force. And with that, I also need to act normally, according to what is considered normal in the eyes of people.”

        We are meant to work in a group where both you and I are experimenting with ascribing all of our desires and thoughts to the creator, while also utilizing the screen.  When a desire comes inside of us, we have to remind ourselves of our intention that “I do this not for me” and “There is none else besides him”.

        The group is meant to provide an experimental testing ground where you can practice these intentions and study kabbalah more in depth.  Since without the group and the actual attempts to practice with these concepts we will not be able to apply them outside in the world.  Or at least its much more difficult.

        Hope this helps!  <3

      Hi, at the moment am going thru trial and conflict with relationships with very close family memebers, why cant i apply the principles of kabbalah to resolve these conflicts? why only am i allowed to apply the tools in the group?  if i was to apply kabbalistic tools to resolve these conflicts, how should i go about  it?

       

      • #308481

        By the time a conflict arises corporeally, I already have to provide a regular corporeal answer. The question is how do I get ahead of the problems, so that I’m moving towards the spiritual goal faster than the Light is operating to push me to the goal? I need to run ahead towards it faster than the whip, which is raised in the air.

        Once it’s corporeality we’re talking about, the approach is to internally ascribe all things as arriving in my experience from a single Upper Force. And with that, I also need to act normally, according to what is considered normal in the eyes of people.

      In the lesson Juilan said that at some point a person starts feeling darkness in the ego and most people give up. Can the darkness be filled with temporary egoistic pleasures (like playing videogames for example) and at the same time you continue studying kabbalah (even if you don’t feel pleasure from it) . That’s how I understood it: when ego doesn’t receive it feels darkness, it hurts. You start asking questions: “why am I doing it, what’s in it for me” etc.

      Can you balance the darkness by filling the egoistic vessel with temporary pleasures and continue study kabbalah at the same time? (like when you take medicine that heals you but the body hurts and you take pain meds to ease the pain).

      It this allowed in kabbalah, or is it something that’s wrong and one shouldn’t be doing.

       

      Thank you!

        Hi Aaron,

        We don’t need to worry much about what actions we are doing. We just need to continue towards the spiritual goal. If we’re persisting in the study, then the Light works. If I can feel myself in front of the Creator that stands behind everything, during everything I’m doing, then I’m really moving towards the goal of life.

      If we are trying to remember we are already in a perfect state, all together in a collective soul … should we do what we can to invite others to learn about it? About Kabbalah? Or should we only focus on ourselves? Cause around me, colleagues and family are going through depression, confusion, sadness… in one hand I am starting to understand this is a reflection of my own feelings, but then again I can’t ignore seeing them and hearing them feeling empty. A part of me wants to send them links or anything that redirects them to Kabbalah. Should I?

      Thank you

      Im curious to envision what type of creature do we collectively emerge/evolve into

      • #306126

        Imagine there are no humans on Earth yet, but there are monkeys, and they only think about swinging from the trees and so on. And now there needs to be a new monkey that will plant crops, read and write, go to symphonies. But you have no such desire to do those things. So, you need there to be someone who can tell you about the world of humans and fan your desire for it. So, in our current situations we have Kabbalists. They tell us that we are like those monkeys, except instead of thinking about swinging from the trees, we think from morning until night about ourselves – all sorts of various things that concern me, my body, and those important to me. And I need to become something opposite, who thinks from morning until night about others and the Creator. You’ll depict what it is that we become when you start seeing how from every thought you need to move to an opposite thought – from yourself to others, from reception to bestowal. This way you start depicting what it is that we become.

      At this stage of our studies, are we developing the Six Sense?

      • #305369

        That’s the main thing we’re always working on. The purpose of Kabbalah is to build the sense with which we feel the Upper World as it does not come naturally as do the senses we’re born with. It happens through the Reforming Light that we draw during the study.
