I can’t express my feelings fully after this shocker lesson by Senior Kabbalah Instructor Tony. I am still short of words, dazzled, transfixed and thrown aback at the same time.. now let me get back on my feet and ask;
Does it mean that Religion and religiosity that most of us grew up and fashioned with from birth is a complete scam?? after this lesson, i am so disturbed by the thought and awakening that i had invested all my life energy and resources in what only causes pain, confusion and chaos; and to think of it i was so so religious and ever seeking to connect with God and never got fulfilled, but kept experiencing off and on emptiness and disappoints.
God i can’t believe that i have only been a caterpillar in a cocoon of darkness all my life up to this moment of revelation through this well structured Kabbalah course.
Hmmm….wow!
Hi Katel,
I would not call it a scam. I would say that we are given different tools based on our level of development. It’s like when we educate our children. We give a 5 year old a toy car and a 25 year old a real car. The toy car is exactly what the 5 year old needs in order to grow and develop. If I was to give a 5 year old the real car, it would not do him any good. On the contrary, it could harm him.
It’s the same with religion. It’s a tool that was NECESSARY when humanity was on a certain level of development. So we should not look down on it. Furthermore, it could be that a person still feels a need for religion even while studying Kabbalah. And there is nothing wrong with that. It’s just like with any other science, a person can be religious and also be a chemist or physicist. Likewise a person can be religious and also study the science of Kabbalah. Baal HaSulam writes that even after the full spiritual correction people can still keep their religions.

Intention is the key to two doors. What if the key of intention opens both doors? How, do you know what door to open. Maybe look through the keyhole that has the light. ????
Hi Abe,
All of humanity are part of a single system called the common soul of Adam HaRishon. It’s like we’re all cells within a single body. The only thing that was broken in this spiritual system are the connections between us. This is the only thing that we need to correct.
Although it may seem like there are two doors or at times even thousands of potential doors that can lead us to spirituality, in truth there is only one door. There is only one thing we need to focus our intention on. To reconnect that shattered soul.
We’ll learn about this in the more advanced lessons. In the meantime, check out this blog post from Rav Laitman for more details:Â http://laitman.com/2014/05/puzzle-adam-harishon/

interesting concept that the mitzvot are connected to our genetic code. so by transforming ourselves we transform our genetic code? that’s amazing!
Hi Natalie,
It’s not so much that we change this code, but rather we speed up the rate at which this code is revealed. To understand this, we need to understand these things called reshimot.
Everything we went through, are going through, and will need to go through is preset in the reshimot. The reshimot are our spiritual genes. Just like when we investigate our corporeal genes, we reveal our entire ancestry, where we came from, as well as the reasons for our inclinations, tendencies, etc. Similarly, the reshimot are our spiritual genes. They are all the states that we have gone through and all the states that we will need to go through in the future.
In other words, they detail the process we need to undergo starting from the initial thought of creation all the way until the end of correction. Essentially our entire path of development is preset in these reshimot. So all the forms we need to evolve through and all the desires that will awaken in us is also preset there. The only choice we have is in the pace we go through it. It’s like all of life is one big strip of film or a movie reel. Every new moment is a new frame, a new reshimot is shown to us. And we cannot change the movie at all, but only to fast forward or go one frame at a time.

Hi Kebede Mamo Dessis,
I don’t have access to your email, but here are some posts about the point in the heart from Rav Laitman’s blog:

I was reading in Kabbalah Revealed that “Minerals exist so that plants can feed on them and grow; plants exist so animals can feed on them and grow; minerals, plants, and animals exist so humans can feed on them and grow” (p. 87). But Michael Laitman is also teaching that this is the reverse order of the fall, in which humans existed before animals, which existed before plants, which existed before minerals. How was this possible? He just said that humans cannot exist without animals, plants and minerals. Animals can’t exist without plants. Plants cannot exist without minerals. Do you see what I’m saying? By this logic, it would seem impossible that there could be a descent in reverse order when the things it needs to survive did not yet exist. Can you help me make sense of all this?
Hi Dale,
The order of development goes from the still, to the vegetative, to the animate, and in the end to the speaking (human) levels. This same order of development takes place both in our world and in the spiritual world. So I’m not sure where you read/heard otherwise. Maybe you can share a link to the source so I can comment on it.
