Hi Seth,
Today I’ve been seeing the number 666 repeatedly, and for the most part got me curious as to its significance in my journey. My question is: Does this number 666 hold any connection or significance to my spiritual journey, in respect to the Kabbalah course?
Lungelo,
You can see 4 everywhere, you can see 5 everywhere, you can see 125 everywhere, you can see 613.
Everything has meaning.
This is what I recommend if you are sincere about your study here, if you are here to just taste a little or see what’s it’s about, so it doesn’t matter what I’m saying and I hope you find something here that you enjoy.
But if you are sincerly desiring to learn the authentic wisdom of kabbalah and to develop spiritually, adhere to the lessons here, adhere to the writings that we study, invest in it, like you are going to the gym, put in the effort. If you do that then after a short time, you will be able to interpret what you see around you.
Keep in mind that we perceive according to our desire. A father and son walking hand in hand in the park will notice and absorb a totally different world even though they are side by side in the same place, it is all according to the development of the desire within a person.

Hello. I’m just starting week 4, and as great as the first three weeks have been, this week’s intro video from Tony is just awesome. There’s so much information in that twenty odd minutes.
Up to this point, the course has felt very…”introductory”, which is fine. I could tell, be the number of times the same basic concepts were explained, that the designers of the course wanted to be very sure that these key concepts were well understood before moving on.
But that “point in the heart” in me is awake, and eager to learn. I was feeling that itch, growing inpatient, wanting more. And then…
BAM. This amazing video. This is the good stuff. I’m excited. Let’s go!
Are we looking to attempt to create this screen within us that Tony has discussed at this stage or are we better to leave this for later, once we have studied further and in groups?
How can one be certain of achieving Behina Dalet? If one is to feel these things in order to know them, how can one be certain they are actually feeling the target goal, and not just imagining it, or perhaps feeling commonplace euphoria rather than the actual attainment?
This sentence intrigues me: From there emerged what is called the thought of creation, to create a creature and to bestow endless good upon it.
My question: Is the creator bestowal always “good”? What is the meaning of good in Kabbalah? What is the “nature” of the light and can it be “good” or “bad” and does it give us only pleasure?
Because we receive many things in life, diseases, pain, sadness, etc, we don’t want to receive those things, because our nature is to move toward pleasure. Are those things part of the light and can they be called “good” and “pleasure”? How does that fit into our desires to receive only pleasure?
Thank you
Nuria,
Everything emanating from the Creator is called “good”.
The extent that we don’t receive it as good, is the exact measure of how far we are from that state called “good”.
If we receive something “not good”, it in no way affects the source of that thing which emanated from the Creator as good.
Look at our lives in for example a historical context.
What good could you possibly receive as a newborn?
The newborn does not even perceive itself, so just to be fed, to be cleaned and to sleep is sufficient.
Then we became teenagers and we wanted a boyfriend or a girlfriend, a little money to spend on the weekend.
But a teenager didn’t want a low interest rate mortgage and second home on the sea.
Now, stretch that back 100,000 years, what did our primitive ancestors want? Shelter and a piece of meat.
So the desire needs to grow in order for the Creator to be able to fill us, eventually with endless delight.
And this is a long process with many discernments until we come to realize that I cannot satisfy my ego and that I come on my own to a realization that I need Him. That is the reason for all of the discomfort, just to push us to Him, just so we will eventually feel that it is all separation from Him.
