Hi, are we passing through the stages of development one after the next, or are we going back and forth, or even experience different stages of spiritual development at the same time depending on our environment or inner states?  Like a child sometimes goes through different phases of development step by step (like from turning over, to sit, to crawl, to stand, to walk) versus sometimes seems to be at different stages of maturity at the same time  (like a child can be really immature in kindergarden, but reasonable when being with an older sibling or suddenly seeming to mature when being placed in a school environment)? I understand that as we start to grow our point in the heart and start to work on correcting our ego, we might just sometimes loose track, stumble back, and feel surrounded by darkness, and then there is a new revelation coming up. And sometimes it may seem clear and light to „love thy neighbour as thyself“ and then again it seems that doubts are closing this up… is this referring to a specific stage of development, or is it that we are just dropping down to an early stage then? And the same with „corrections“… if you have corrected a specific state / egoistic trait… do you have to go through it multiple times before it lasts? I once read to correct a specific human behaviour you may need up to a 1000 times of practice… (depending on what you want to correct, of course, and on how high the resistance is)… but how lasting are corrections? And actually, do they have to be lasting or is it like lighting a match, that lights a piece of wood, that lights a fire…?

When one start studying kabbalah, one comes to realize that, one is a reflex of himself!!@@

Kabbalah is enriching the quality of my spiritual life so very much. I am going beyond some boundaries; but the ways makes so much sense. Faith over Reason: The Wisdom is drawing me. Thank you for teaching the teacher. I have been teaching faith and practice for many years. This is taking me deeper— where I have always known I would be going—requiring adjustment and correction.

What are the Hebrew root words ofcontentment, receive, and to bestow. I seem to know what to receive means but is there more to these words used in kabbalah and do they translate to english directly?

Thanks

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

Hi Robert,

Here are the words in Hebrew, the transliteration, the main translation of the word and some alternatives:

Reception / acceptance = kabbalah = קבלה

Bestowal / influence = hashpa-a = השפעה

Contentment / pleasure = nakhat ruakh = נחת רוח

If there are any important Hebrew words you should know, we’ll learn them together throughout the courses.

On the human level before the speaking level, the humans are dependent on each other for their life. Even though the can move freely and can mate anytime etc they are controlled by the money they get or have to work for money that society created and other people make war and destroy  life or give a child to make a life etc but they still depend on each other on the existence of their life?

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

Hi Robert,

Yes, you can say that.

We’re all part of a single system, like cells within a single body. So of course we’re dependent on each other. The only difference between us and the other levels of nature is that the other levels naturally feel this connection, whereas for us, our ego hides this connection. As a result, we don’t take that connection into account, and each one becomes like a cancerous cell in our common body.

By studying Kabbalah, we can correct the ego and properly integrate into that body, until we come to feel spiritual life between us.

I am having a hard time understanding that all I see is in me. It seems like if I don’t see a person or my house it’s not there could you explain this more? Thank you,

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

Hi Joe,

The main takeaway is that the external world is a reflection of my own internal state. So if I see something bad in the world, it means I still have not finished correcting my own ego. It’s like I have these dirty glasses through which I see the whole world as dirty. The moment I clean my own glasses, I’ll look at the same world, but now it’s clean and perfect.
