Hi, when interacting with a group can this be done virtually? The reason I’m asking is that I live in Scotland and cannot locate a group here. Maybe there is one, in which case please let me know.
I did also feel some resistance about only being there for the group. My understanding is that it is natural to feel resistance. And it is by persisting that we move forward. If you could please comment on this.
Many thanks!
Of course, you can advance virtually. Anyway, in person, you’ll have to move your heart. Can you do that virtually? Why not.
It’s natural to resist connection if it’s the connection through which we attain connection with the Creator – because we secretly don’t want to connect with Him. That’s why He hides behind this world of ours. So, we force ourselves. and the Upper Light works on these efforts and changes our desire, from reception to bestowal. And then we find ourselves in new desires in which we do want to be connected with the Creator. We’re not really connecting with the physical bodies we see, they’re on the way to the Creator. And it’s not a normal connection like you have in this world – to not want to do that type of connection, I understand. Here we’re talking about connection for a sublime goal.
“what ever you see in your friends is actually in you. it’s just a reflection…” is this strictly within the group of people with the point in the heart, studying kabbahal? or everyone around us?
I see the good in others, but they are not interested in Kabbalah, the opposite actually, they think this study is actually dangerous, is it possible they stir have the point in the heart?Hi Gianni, thank you! I’ve managed to find a virtual group in the UK. It seems when I look at this resistance closely it dissolves od becomes weaker.
Hi Marry, I totally understand and can relate to your question. I am part of a pretty observant Jewish family (especially my husband and my sons) who seem to have a strong connection to the creator ,they are very faithful and clearly have a ‘point in the heart’ but it is manifested through religious rituals and it gives them the feeling that this is for ‘the fulfillment of the Creator’ . At the same time , I have friends and colleagues at work who have nothing to do with any religion but they believe in the Upper Force, some of them are very spiritual and they indeed seem to have ‘a point in the heart’ also. I am talking to all of them about ‘Kabbalah’ , but trying to only mention things that I know will resonate with them. Fortunately, I was at both sides so I understand their way of thinking and slowly slowly trying to penetrate additional ‘little drops’ of wisdom. It works. And one thing I can tell you – since I started to do these classes (like 3 month ago), I noted that I have much more patience and understanding toward people who think differently and when I am talking to them somehow the right words are coming out spontaneously and when sometimes I get a not so positive reaction my answer is very different than it would have been before starting these studies . I can clearly see the change.
Sorry I missed this, Mary. Thinking Kabbalah is dangerous, or various other excuses, indicate that the person just doesn’t want Kabbalah. And you shouldn’t tell them about it. Leave them alone and correct yourself. They can easily find Kabbalah on the internet like you did, if they have a point in the heart. They’re still developing happily. Or unhappily, but not unhappily enough to need Kabbalah. Let them ripen. The Creator knows what to do with each one.
Hi. will we be allocated groups to work in, to develop the point in the heart? Second, apart from the Torah and the Zohar which are the other books should we be reading to attract the light and build the vessel, lastly, since taking on Kabbalah my life has become even more chaotic , why is this?
The writings of Baal HaSulam and Rabash are the ones we need in our generation. Through them, you have everything else in an order that is conducive to drawing the Reforming Light that brings the correction of the soul.

There isn’t a direct correlation between what you perceive in your life and your Kabbalah studies. And generally you have not been studying long enough for there to be any relationship between the two. Everything is according to the balance or lack thereof of a person with the Upper Force. As much as the Light corrects a person, they correct this relationship to the Upper Force, which includes all of nature, everything before you.
Is it possible to notice internal changes before entering a group? I’m asking because until I started on this part of the course there was no resistance to the study, but now as it approaches the time to enter a group and start the real work, I can feel a lot of internal resistance. A growing part of me wants to run away and another wants to dive into the work. Is this normal? What is happening here?
That’s exactly how it works. There’s a mechanism in me, and in everyone, whose role is only to resist the one place where the spiritual world can be entered. Except for that, it can go along with anything. And this is where a person starts realizing that in me there is a part that is for my spiritual advancement and a part that is against my spiritual advancement. It had gone along with me everywhere else, and me with it, to the point that I did not differentiate its will from mine: we were in lockstep, perfect dance partners. It’s like a huge magnet I’m carrying with me and as long as I don’t enter its opposite field, I don’t feel it has any force of resistance. The field of connection of those who have the Point in the Heart, it’s not willing to go into. Anything but that. Like my dad who has claustrophobia once canceled on-the-spot a summer family trip to Paris because his phobia hit him at the airport. But it will cost you thousands right here and now! Doesn’t matter – no amount of money or logic matters. Each person has such a “friend” in him whose job is to go along with anything besides the connection through which he reaches the Creator. If it’s connection just to party, that’s fine; if it’s the Creator by itself without connection, as in religion – no problem! But if you want me to move towards the Creator through connection – up until here, and not further!
Does this part that resists become even more resistant after joining the group? If so, will I still be able to recognise it and over-ride it’s influence? Currently the part that wants to do the work is stronger but will this stay the case?
Sorry I have so many questions and thank you for your answers
In video 4.3, Increasing Your Vessel, Julian referred to a humble Kabbalist, Rabbi Yossi Ben_____________. I was unsuccessful in finding articles about him, dispite numerous efforts with various spellings. Can you please guide me to additional reading?
I understand the aforementioned Rabbi was not the focus of this important message about Increasing Your Vessel.
I would like to know more about GE and AHP. Can you please recommend some text to read? I have a copy of the book Kabbalah for the Student and access to the internet.
