I think I didn’t catch what you mean.

Would you explain a little bit better or in clearer lines, in a way that I can understand?

 

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

Each person has their desire, a shattered part of the whole. Some things about it they can correct actively. Some aspects they simply have to live with for the time being. For example, if something is part of my hardware, like how my brain/body is structured. The reason I got what I got will be revealed in the End of Correction. All we can say is that these things are necessary for the correction of the whole.

Hi, nice to meet you.I know that egoism is our sickness. how does kabbalah express the meaning of mental diseases such as both obsessive-compulsive desorder and schizophrenia?

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

It’s a result of the collective Shattering that we’re all products of, but this aspect of the Shattering gets emphasized in this way in the person. He carries this burden for the rest of humanity. Each person has something of his own, which he carries as a result of the Shattering, until we reach the correction of our common soul.

Hi Julian/Gianni, I loved this last lesson and have only 2 very small questions:

1 What is the relevance of the title “Everyone has a Story” to module 5.3? It seems to me that the central idea here is how to build a second nature that I just don’t have. Am I missing something?

2 At the very end of the 5.4 module Julian said 2 things that I’m struggling to reconcile: “when you’re doing the spiritual work, don’t think of your friends, and definitely don’t pray for yourself, because the concern and the success of your friends, that will be your success.” How do I not think of my friends and yet be concerned for their success? Aren’t I constantly focused on them and praying for their spiritual success, lifting them up above myself?

“He carries this burden for the rest of humanity”.

would you explain a litlle bit better or get in more details?

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

We all feel part of the state in which we are all suffering because we are not corrected yet. The weight is proportional, but since we can’t see the internality of each person, it can seem unfair – because no one has a qualitatively different piece to carry.

[Paul]

Thanks Gianni!

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

Hi Paul,

I can’t answer because I don’t have Julian’s videos memorized. The video titles are more or less intended to be attractive, nothing more. The quote you have in the second question certainly is not correct unless there’s some unusual context. I always need to think of my friends – they’re my soul, the matter of my spiritual advancement, what it depends on.

Can you explain the difference between the Masak and the tzintum  I understand how the first is a reflective barrier, but in the last diagram of one of the last modules, it had the same some looked like it was part of  the kli. so I didn’t know where that restriction is.

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

The Restriction (Tzimzum) is the resolution never to receive in order to receive again. The (Screen) is the intention, the extent of one’s ability to receive in order to bestow.

How does one practically connect with the friends within a group, what actions or steps does one take, what are the guidelines?

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

Hi Bongani,

The “practical” actions will be mostly in thought and sometimes in virtual meetings. But these virtual meetings will be critical in establishing the right thoughts as will be the writings of Rabash, which you will study together with your group in the Graduate Program.

[Jarrett Twaddle]

I just want to thank you, Julian, for being our instructor. I’m really looking forward to implementing all that I’ve learned with you in the Young Group.
Much love.
