I am looking forward to finding a group to continue this journey in Kabbalah.
I am lucky that I have friends in my local community that are all seeking a spiritual path. I can see how we all influence our development towards the Creator and without them I may not have come as far as I am today.
There is still a ways to go in my journey and so if I have the opportunity to grow the environmental within KabU to spur this passage on in myself and others I will be grateful.
However, do I need to by weary of influences of others not seeking the Creator in a Kabbalah tradition?
I feel like my lessons have the ability to influence those around me, therefore naturally others will influence me. But perhaps there is a place were I can find the Creators intention in the journey of each person near me and either be influenced or not if I choose?
Hi Andrew,
Generally if we keep our relationships with others on the level of family or work, then there is not much to worry about. We could and should maintain those relationships in the normal way.
Whereas the relationships we have around the spiritual goal, we should be weary of those connections. Those relationships can indeed influence our spiritual development, even subconsciously, and corrupt our intention to bestow, making us completely deviate from the path.

No question, I just wanted to express my gratitude for the lessons and journey here with KabU. I am learning so many inspirational concepts, and strangely enough, they align perfectly with other forms of study, such as my Graduate program, and my 12-Step program. Synchronicity has played a large part in my finding KabU, to begin with! I am excited to be here, and to continue learning and growing with all of you!
As we are in the “state of correction” while doing our everyday activities, and yet being in a KB group, we falter in an act of correction, how does that impact the process and our progress for attainment?
Hi Bonnie,
Attainment means attaining the Creator’s qualities of love and bestowal. We do that primarily within the Kabbablistic group. As for the rest of the world, for the time being we’re not doing direct spiritual work with them. For the time being, the rest of the world is adding more resistance to our spiritual work within the group. And that itself is also a great help.
This is similar to how a body builder needs to add more and more resistance in order to gain more muscles. Likewise in our spiritual work, we need to try to arrange our corporeal lives in the normal way, and that will add a little more resistance to our spiritual work in the group. Through that we’ll actually be able to develop to higher spiritual levels.
We’ll learn how to implement these things practically in the more advanced semesters.

How individuals in a group are chosen?
What is the process in selecting who will be in a particular group?
Hi Marie,
In KabU, students are grouped up in the advanced semester. Generally the students are grouped up by gender, location, and cohort.
Ultimately you can say that it’s the Creator that puts us into the group we’re in. It’s because he awakened our point in the heart at a certain time and placed us in this spiritual environment. So once we’re assigned to a group, the right way to relate to the group is that each one was hand picked by the Creator because it’s specifically that collection of points in the heart that is necessary for my correction.
We’ll learn more about this in the advanced semesters.

the group dynamic makes sense, but I doubt a digital group will have the same effects than a physical group where you get triggered and forced to love them. Funny it’s kinda what happens in a family, probably divine arrangement to force you to love them.
Hi Nat,
It’s true that a physical group tends to influence us stronger, but if we don’t have a physical Kabbalah group near us, a virtual group can also work. Throughout the year, we hold several large physical conventions. If we make the effort to attend those physically, then we can continue that spiritual work afterwards even virtually.

Looking at where I am now, I can’t imagine people reaching the level of the Creator as described, did they also start like I’m starting now or something else?
