Hi,
It’s not easy to ask a question about this lesson. Sometimes I feel like I understand something, and then I realize that I don’t.
So there is no question, just wanted to share my experience.

Hi,
So Complete equivalence of form happens when we correct all of our desires (to be same) with the laws of nature?

Hi Ali,
Yes, you can say that.

I’m really interested in a concept that was made so clear this week—changing “the will to receive with the intention to receive” to “the will to receive with the intention to bestow.” Is it possible to work on this with a mundane and common daily desire such as the desire to look nice before leaving the house? Can one learn to elevate even that? Can one’s desire to groom nicely be transformed from an egoistic desire to “not for my own sake?”

Hi Lora,
It is possible but it’s not recommended right now. As beginners on the spiritual path, we don’t want to confuse ourselves with the countless desires that awaken in us. Instead we focus all of our spiritual work on our desire for spirituality, on connecting with other points in the heart on the spiritual path together with us. This is the foundation of all of our spiritual work.
And in the more advanced stages of our spiritual development, we’ll learn how to measure all the rest of our desires relative to our desire for spirituality. We’ll begin to see how the rest of our desires can help or take away from the spiritual connection that we are building here.
We’ll learn about this in the more advanced lessons.

If we are supposed to become onebes with everyone and the creator how do we relate to wicked and unruly lawless people? Stay away from them or seek them out and bestow love on them?

Hi William,
(this answer is a continuation of my previous answer to you below this one, so you should read that one first)
Becoming one with all of humanity is a very high degree. We don’t start our spiritual work there. Just like if we had to climb a 100 story building, we can’t just jump to level 90 and start climbing from there, rather we need to start at the bottom and climb up.
So our initial spiritual work is all in the Kabbalistic group. This is the foundation of all of our work. It’s like we’re building here a certain nucleus. Once we build that nucleus, we will be able to add to it wider and wider circles of the world, until we’ll come to include the whole world in that connection. But this is gradual work. And until we build that nucleus, we have nothing with which to do any spiritual work towards the world.
So until then, how do we behave towards the rest of the world? We behave normally there, just like everyone else. Meaning don’t make a saint of yourself and at the same time don’t cause harm to others, but just act there the way normal people act.

So to be fulfilled we must find those that are our family? Friends, Father’s, mothers, brothers, sister’s that desire to come to equivalence of form with the Creator. Not blood relationship! But belief, intention and desire (Kli) to become one with the creator.

Hi William,
“There is no coercion in spirituality”. So we cannot do spiritual work with just anyone. We need to find those with active points in the hearts that are interested in doing spiritual work together with us. Given that these types of people are rare, less than 1% of the world, chances are you won’t find someone like that among your corporeal acquaintances or family members.
So where do we find such people? In the Kabbalistic group. The Kabbalistic group is made up of many people around the world that are interested in using the Kabbalistic method to reach spirituality. And in the more advanced phases of KabU, everyone will receive their own Kabbalah group with whom they can put all these things into practice.

Are there truths from Kabbalah in some of the other ancient religions?
- January 12, 2023 at 10:23 am EST #308864Albert – KabU InstructorModerator
Hi Jo,
I’m not an expert on religions, so I cannot comment on that. In general, we should keep in mind that Kabbalah is not a religion. It’s a practical scientific method by which we can correct our egoistic nature. As a result of this correction, we become similar to the Creator and reveal Him in practice, in our lives.
