      I have 2 questions at this point in the lesson.

      1. I understand the analogy in the lesson about the host and guest and the method of giving to the Creator by allowing yourself to enjoy the meal prepared. Can I have a practical daily example to make sure I understand the application of the method described?

      2. Is there any way for us to measure the current point where we are in terms of the construction of the degrees of the soul (Nefesh, Ruach, Neshama, Haya, Yechida.)?Thank you

        Brendan,

        We are not yet talking about what to do with your hands and feet.  Why?  Because you can give away all of your money but do it for egoistic reasons or in the other hand you can withhold giving and it’s actually for the good of the other.
        So our example is to depict an inner direction.

        Read it a few more times and try to feel the inner movement that would take place in your inner attitude and emotions.

         

        For example, if the person you respect the most in the world gave you a glass of water and Sat to drink with you. That is more cherished than someone you hate giving you a dinner.  Think about these things.

        Regarding your second question, we didn’t yet get to filling the vessel with any of the lights of our soul, this all takes place after we build a screen/masach.  We will learn about this more soon.

      Hello!

      I want to know if I plan to learn Hebrew, is it ancient Hebrew or modern Hebrew that would be more helpful for Kabbalah’s learning?

      Thankyou!

        Jlao,
        Learn the letters and the sounds of the letters.  We will come across 100 or so technical words like light, vessel, keter, malchut, desire, adhesion etc… If you know the Hebrew, you will be able to work with the terminology which also contains many layers of meaning and information.

      Hi Awesome Kab U instructors !!

       

      I keep asking the same question but no one seems to answer ………

      How is it that Kabbalists know what they know …. ? The level of detail …… ? How is/was this info obtained ?

      I am fascinated

       

      I hope that in the future, there will be practices for me to perform, actual work that brings me closer to The Source …….. I assume I will encounter these in the future if I keep studying, yes ?

        MK,

        They attained these degrees.  If you go to New York City, and go to Time Square, you will be able to describe what you see, what you smell, what you hear.
        So if you go to the world of Atzilut, you will feel what is there.
        The kabbalists wrote their books to us so that we can follow the steps that they took to reach these things.
        The problem is that we try to use our egoistic minds to guide us to the goal, when we would be much more successful and we would shorten the path if we could take their mind above our own and follow what they tell us.
        We’ll try together.

      My question is regarding whether Kabbalah includes or has Awareness of what I call the Audible Life Sound.

      There is a REALITY that can be felt/heard, with the Inner Senses, that is like a Sound, an indescribable, delicious, wonderous Music, a Vibration of Ineffableness, of Unbounded Infinity/Eternity; This Sound can be heard on the corporeal level, and it pulls the Soul ever and ever Upward, into the very Heart of the One Life, and then the boundaries of egoic self just totally and completely dissolve in THIS.

      There is no longer even a sensation of receiving or of giving, all these issues are just – not in Awareness.  There is just the Unbounded, Unending Bliss, and this fills the Awareness continuously.  Receiving for oneself is just obviated as not possible, there is no separate self, there is only the continuous pouring in and the giving forth of this Music, that is pouring into The One Beingness unendingly, all as natural as breathing.  There is also the Inner Light, on five different levels, that opens the Awareness to the Inner Worlds, as the Soul ascends to the fifth level, and then Beyond, and then Beyond the Beyond.  It is beyond words to even give a hint.

      The outer life goes on, but in this Awareness of this Inner Music, Guided by this Inner Light, no matter what seems to appear in the physical senses, it’s always all good, all perfect, all in service to the One Life.  Faith above reason is obviated, as there is a continuous Knowingness that all that appears is just the only way that it could be and the Creator only intends Good for all of us.

      This Awareness of this Inner Music and Inner Light is a Supreme Gift from a Supreme Master of another Path, called Surat Shabd Yoga.  Surat is Sanskrit for the Attention, which we can look at as the Soul, Shabd refers to the very Heart, the Essence of the Creator, and Yoga means Union.

      I am taking this Course to compare this Awesome path of Kabbalah, through this teaching lineage of Yehuda Ashlag/ Dr. Michael Laitman, with this path of Surat Shabd Yoga, through the teaching lineage of Sant Kirpal Singh, which I have practiced for 25 years now.  Obviously, there must be a feeling of something more that is “missing” in my Path, or I would not feel to do this comparison.  These two paths could be complimentary, or they could be a prerequisite, one to the other.

      What strikes me is the previous injunction in Kabbalah, that one cannot be taught Kabbalah unless one already knows the Wisdom.  Through this path of Surat Shabd Yoga, I Know, and this is not a hope or a prayer or a belief – it is direct Knowingness of what IS. I have been “breathing” this Wisdom into Awareness very wonderfully and easily.  Of course, all Truth is included in Kabbalah, so of course there is a connection.

      So my question is:  does the Kabbalah Wisdom being taught here include the continual, day-by-day, as often as possible focus of Awareness/Attention on this Inner Music? Perhaps you call this “Intention”.  What is the difference?

      Thank you for this fantastic KabU Teaching Program.  It is awesome.

        John,
        Every person has a unique emotional experience since each of us is unique and therefore we usually do not describe in great detail our inner states so that we don’t confuse others.  One person was raised by very strict, conservative parents, another with no parents at all.  One is a creative artist and the other is logical accountant.  Nevertheless, each one can come to the highest spiritual heights.
        Our goal is to come to discover the organizing, integral, managing force of love and bestowal that the kabbalists call the Creator.  That we will attain a perception that there is no place vacant from Him, everything is His thought, His action, this is what we want to discover in all of our senses, in all of our strength.  The Creator’s will is that we will recognize Him, know Him and know that there is no other force that does anything but Him.  It is all included in the Creator.

        Now we are going through the fundamental courses together.  This is a very important part of the study, to understand what is the matter of creation, what is the quality of creation, what is the quality of the Creator, what are the forces acting on me, what is my correct perception of reality, how can I interact with these forces correctly?
        Then after we stabilize ourselves in this new worldview, we then begin to work with others in our kabbalistic group on what you call day by day, continual inner work.
        It’s all ahead of you.
