Thank you so much KabU Team, it was an eye opening and awakening ride through the Week 1 courses.
My question is related to the current event of Tisha B’Av – 9th of Av, that is supposedly tomorrow Shabbat. Now since the Kabbalist speaks only the language of root and branches as i learnt and understand through this program, is the 9th of Av a language of the the branches too and what is its representation in relation to us please.
Thank you!
Hi Katel,
Yes you can say that. We learn that we, as the created beings, can only experience reality out of opposites: hot/cold, up/down, love/hate, bestowal/reception, etc. The 9th of Av represents the revelation of the most opposite state to the Creator. Although this state is not very pleasant, it’s a necessary part of our spiritual development. Without revealing this opposite form to the fullest, we will not be able to fully correct it and thereby reach the final correction.

Hi Amani,
Kabbalah is also a science. The difference is that traditional scientists study nature that is found within the egoistic desire to receive. Kabbalists on the other hand correct their egoistic desire into the desire to bestow, and study nature within that corrected desire.

What happens if I die in the process of attaining the degrees? Am I starting from scratch on the next round?
Hi Peter,
Nothing is lost. If we don’t finish this work in this lifetime, we continue it in the next. Kabbalists compare the process of life and death of the corporeal body as to changing shirts: at the end of the day, we drop our dirty shirt into the hamper and in the morning put on a clean one. So we don’t lose anything, but continue the next time around until we reach the final correction.

Sometimes it can happen that an act of “giving” doesn’t follow a good intention. It can be our intuition or the energy around us in that event that make us feel that something is not right, so we are not willing to receive, so the bestowal goes lost.
How can we approach in a Kabbalistic way these circumstances?
How can I bond with the intention of the giver “above reasons”?
How would Nature “equalize” in this situation?!
Hi Maria,
It all depends on your goal in life. If your goal is to correct your nature and thereby to reveal the Creator, the quality of love and bestowal, this is only possible in mutual work with other points in the hearts. This is why we practice this type of bestowal only within the Kabbalistic group.
If you practice it anywhere else, in the best case scenario you’ll build some good relationships, in the worst case, people will think you’re weird or try to take advantage of you. But either way it will not lead to the revelation of the Creator. So generally with the rest of the world it’s best to just act normal, like everyone else.
