Can you explain if the creator in this example of the meal could be something bad like illnesses or any other negative event, instead of good. Do we still need to accept when we don’t want to. Therefore we could grow spiritually. I would appreciate if this is explained with another example rather than meal example. Many thanks for the answer in advance.
Joe,
Yes, it is a big concept to digest.
And also it requires a change in us.
After all, when we start to understand the nature of who we are, well for sure we are living in this body, but for sure that is not all that we are, it’s more of an adaptor in order to be able to receive emotional impressions from the world around us.
Without our body, we’d be merged with the light and there would be no Joe.
So put this skin and these systems between you and 99.99999999999% of everything in reality which is outside of you and through that adaptor, to start to emotionally and in your mind, to understand and feel what is happening.
In that sense, if someone’s grandparents were living in poverty for 10 generations, malnourished, so then a person is born from that situation and the person can have opportunities to deal with it and manage it, but can’t take responsibility as such for being born in this family, in this time, in this way, with these physical conditions.
This is an exaggerated example, but you can understand that everything that happens to us is part of a cause and effect system and on the one hand we do whatever we can to manage and make our situation better and on the other hand begin to exist above the temporal experience and enter into the eternal experience that we are part of that we don’t yet perceive.

I am able to follow the podcasts pretty well. But the readings from Kabbalah for the Student may as well be written in Latin for all the sense they make to me. Any suggestions?
This all feels close and abstract at the same time. When learning this, should we aim to memorize the names of the sefirot and behinot? Or is it best to try not to understand with the mind? Also, are these phases what we experience?
While listening to this video, Psalm 23:5 came to my mind. “You have prepared tables in front of me opposite my enemies; you have anointed my head with oil and my cup overflows …”.
I feel the message inwardly in a new “light” of understanding. Thank you.
When the sense of shame was mentioned, I was reminded of the Adam and Eve story, particularly as the pronoun “she” was used throughout the lesson. Is there a hidden message in the Adam and Eve story that relates to Kabbalah? I apologize if I am not phrasing this well.
Amy,
Here are some blog posts from our teacher Rav Laitman about the subject.

Seth, sorry, what was the song you sang at the NY retreat, the one where you got the crowed to sing in different harmonies, it was Saturday night closing and sung again in the morning… apologies I couldn’t find the “general questions” forum to ask you specifically. The song was not included on the 2024 Retreat playlist, i searched far and wide for it. Thanks in advance.
Bradley – (M26)Brad,
It’s called Sing As One.
It’s on this playlist.
Glad to hear you enjoyed!!!

SethMmm Brad. As long as you are asking about this one, I want to know the name of the (well known) Hebrew song that was the last one we sang on Sunday at the lunch/gathering of friends. Right before we went into the zoom reflection. I’m thinking you might know it if you were there. Thanks!
