HI, I m noticing that I m looking at small incidents in a very different way, & therefore seeing they may be corrections, or teachings.
For example, what I said before, about just being missed by the tree that fell across the road, just as I passed. I ve looked at this more deeply. If I d been 5 seconds further ahead, I wouldnt even have noticed as I d have been past it. Five seconds later, and my car would, at least, have been very badly dented, if not worse & I could have been seriously injured.
The way I see it now, it was deliberately designed, so I would absolutely KNOW that I had been protected, & G-D, Heshem, had created this incident as a message for me. Would I be right in saying that – it was in looking back & examining this incident, that I allowed it to pass through the screen ? I wouldn’t use the word “Delight “, exactly, more that its shaken me, its humbling, something to be in awe of. And, it s hard to accept, to take it in, that such a thing really is part of this new dimension of life.
Have I understood right ?
Sarah,
I cannot interpret what happened to you.
These kind of answers your soul will teach you.
Stabilize yourself with the material so you don’t float away in imaginations and as you arrange your inner world correctly, you will process all the events of your life and understand what is happening, how the Creator is guiding everything for the good.

HI again,
More questions ! In knowing how to receive, I don’t hear mention of gratitude or acknowledgement. Isn’t acknowledgement the recognition of reception, so surely it ought to be part of the exchange with the Creator? or is this just a “lower” step ?
And what about prayer ? I used to be able to pray for what I needed, and now I m confused about this. Is it that if I pray for something, it comes from ego ? Surely some of our needs are real in our physical existence? And would asking delight the Creator, or not?
Sarah,
You are in week four and you want to know where are the knives so I can do open heart surgery!
You can spend months and years studying the sources about gratitude and the same studying about prayer.
You can study 1000s and 1000s of pages and hear more and more concepts and it will fill you mind and you will feel that you know a lot and it won’t help you advance to the spiritual degree called adhesion with the Creator.
The process we are going through is a practical process of transformation.
We are studying a method passed to us by great kabbalists who reached the degrees that we want to reach.
I cannot impress this enough and I think you will have a hard time hearing it, but immerse yourself in the materials that we are studying together. Reread them, watch the clips again. Write notes, make sketches, do whatever you can to be immersed in the emotional experience of what you are going through with the other students. Your mind will expand too. If additionally in your free time you want to search the other courses and other materials, go for it. But if you want to advance spiritually, you need a serious foundation, there is no shortcut. You will arrive at the goal, but you will need persistence and to follow the method.

Hi, again, Seth,
So, I m not sure how to do this, in real terms.
For example. today, as I was driving, I just passed under as a big tree branch crashed across the road, & I got some twigs over my windscreen. Should I be seeing this as a delight that I was unharmed & give thanks to the creator? Is it a gift from creator that I was unharmed?
I went for a coffee with a friend, so, is this delight that the creator gave me the opportunity to spend time with a friend ? Should I be viewing the friend as a part of the creator?
Sarah,
Imagine that you are learning a new language, you learned some new words and you feel confident. Then you go to the airport in the new country and everyone is speaking fast, about things you didn’t learn the worlds yet, a lot of slang, etc.
So you are just at the beginning of the path, you are hearing some words, some new concepts, some you may have heard of already in different contexts. Now is a time of calibrating yourself and stabalizing yourself in the kabbalistic material.
You cannot all of a sudden try to apply everything you are reading and hearing and get an accurate depiction.
Of course you can work with these concept, you can depict that everything that is happening is the Creator dressed in the inanimate, vegetative, animate and speaking degrees of our material world, but it is too premature to start naming every event from where it originated in its upper root and why it cascaded down precisely this way at this time.
When you start to feel your connection to the entire system of reality then these things will come into focus.
Soon it will happen.
Be patient.

HI Seth,
What I notice is that the words used to create our desire for connection with the creator, are pleasure and delight.
I m noticing the word “love” is not used, & I m wondering about that.
If we used the word love, then the giving & receiving become easy & automatic. One naturally returns love with those close to us. I m sensing there is a subtle reason for this?
Thanks, Sarah
Hello
I am raghad and i got a couple of questions
i have a question regarding the pronouns that are being used regarding the creator, sometimes its he and sometimes its she, as i read in former questions that + (bestow) is male and – (receive) is female. was there a reason for it to be divided in that way as i understand that kabbalah science has a reason for everything?
second question, it has been said that Hebrew language is complicated and can’t be translated in it’s original/ full meaning specially in English language therefore do i have/need to learn Hebrew language to attain full meaning?
Third question, does KabU offer basics of Hebrew language courses?
Fourth question, as i understand from former lessons, that we are all originally one soul called (Adam HaRishon) and have been divided into 600,00 pieces when we descended, is Adam considered a male or a female? or is it that when we were one with creator before we descend we were only a soul that has no gender therefor Adam in that phase is considered a (-) which is receiving which is female and it does not hold the meaning of (gender), only the meaning of bestowing and receiving? and is it that only when we descended duality was created and genders emerged? and Adam HaRishon has no gender to begin with?
fifth question, my mother language is Arabic, and i’d love to read kabbalah articles in Arabic, i think it will make me connect more, feel more, i tried to find things online but rarely could i find also i don’t trust the source, can you lead me towards anything similar?
Excuse my many thoughts and thanks for reading 🙂
Raghad,
Wonderful questions. This wisdom is built on questions and answers and asking like this, when things seem confusing or they don’t fit with our worldview, it’s good, it helps us build in ourselves the structure that the kabbalists are writing about. I’m happy to receive these questions in this way.
First, and this must be understood in order to go any further in the work, we are learning that besides the Creator, who is 100% bestowing, 100% eternal and unconditional love…besides that, everything else in reality, which is called creation, is 100% to receive.
This is fundamental to the entire wisdom. Kabbalah means to receive.
In this context, the Creator is male and all of creation is female.
It should be clear that we are not talking about gender or sex. In fact as we study the spiritual reality, there is not material existence that we learn about. We study the roots of everything in the spiritual worlds. There is no man there or woman there, only forces.
Now for us, here living in our bodies made up of mostly oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus, so we have mouths with tongues and teeth and palate and air that passes through the mouth to form words and even these structures have spiritual roots and we will learn them all later, but when we in our material form start to make sense and organize life, we are using such words as male and female, the kabbalists use a precise language called the language of root and branches and we will study this too.Regarding Hebrew, make a notebook or a document where you start to put the Hebrew words you are learning. If you were studying music, you’d need to know some latin words (arpeggio, piano, forte…) if you are studying medicine, one needs to know some latin (-phobia, -genic, -osis, etc…) and math, greek (alpha, delta, etc.). So the technical language of our science is Hebrew.
It is not necessary now to be fluent, but to start to learn the hundred or so terms that we will come across at this time will be helpful. Later you’ll get a feel for them and other qualities of the words, etc.We have some videos on youtube about the Hebrew language and we are developing a course now as well due to popular demand.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chC6Kc8hIhg&t=1620sAdam HaRishon is the structure of our soul, which is female and it filled with the light of the Creator which is male. Also, 600,000 is a number signifying a certain quality of the connection, it is not a quantity.
We do have a department translating materials into Arabic. I will find them and reply again to this thread with the links within 2 days.
Good luck,
Seth@KabU
In kabbalah for the student page 664, (4) the terminology of the creature changes to “She”, where it previously have been “it” and “he”, is there a reason for this other than to include both he, she, it?
Peter,
The wisdom of kabbalah is a scientific language and precise.
There is no word that is used for politically correct purposes.
H2O doesn’t ask questions. There are laws of Hydrogen, laws of Oxygen and laws of how they behave when they are joined in a specific way under specific conditions.
The language of the wisdom of kabbalah is Hebrew. Male refers to a bestowing force, female refers to a receiving force. The Hebrew language contains many many layers of meaning and interpretation including numerical value for example. No translation can convey all of the dimensions of the original.
In general, male refers to + and female refers to -.
Remember that as you are a scientist of the spiritual worlds and you will not make mistakes in this.
Don’t be confused with ethics, morals, political correctness, only the physics of the spiritual reality that we are studying.
