Ask anything about week 5 lesson and materials and get an answer from a senior Kabbalah instructor.

Thank you, I have no questions.

What happens if I die in the process of attaining the degrees? Am I starting from scratch on the next round?

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

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?!

 

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

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.

Thank you for this course and this organization. As a searcher, the system of the Kabbalah just makes more and more sense as I learn.

That said, here we are at the end of this first introductory course, and I am so happy, but also, there does not seem like there is a prescriptive path. Is it being generous of spirit to betow? Is it following the commandments? Will we learn more later on the prescriptive side of things?

Thank you.

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

Hi Clifton, great question!

Practicing Kabbalah means that we correct our egoistic nature and become similar to the Creator, the general force of love and bestowal. But just like a PC cannot just change itself to run as a Mac, we too cannot just change our own nature. No rituals, diets, restrictions, nothing we do with our own strength will help us to make this change. We need outside help to do this. This help comes to us from the force of the light. The light is a special force thanks to which we can perform this correction. Essentially all of our work boils down to extracting more and more of this light, especially during the Kabbalistic studies, and it does all the rest.

So the most practical action that you can do towards performing this correction is to set aside some time to regularly return to the source of the light, meaning to the Kabbalistic sources, videos, lessons, etc. This will help you throughout your entire spiritual development.

We will learn more about these things in the upcoming semester, in the meantime, check out this blog post from Rav Laitman for more details: https://laitman.com/2013/02/sunbathing-in-the-rays-of-the-reforming-light/

Thanks, i think my questions of this week have been already answered

[Irianti Erningpraja]

sometimes is hard to see the thougt behind something “unpleasent” like  war and natural disaster. How to attainnthat knowledge is it by asking what the lesson behind it?

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

Hi Irianti,

Every moment of our lives we’re in a dialog with the Creator. This is called that “there is none else besides Him”, that the Creator is the singular force behind ALL of reality. All of my thoughts, desires, all the events in life all originate from Him.

But the Creator operates on the frequency of bestowal, while our nature is on the frequency of reception. As such, we operate on two completely different frequencies. So it’s currently impossible for us to understand Him. We first need to correct our nature and become similar to Him. Only then will we begin to understand Him and to justify all that we see in life.

We’ll learn about this in the upcoming semester, in the meantime, check out this blog post from Rav Laitman for more details: https://laitman.com/2010/09/learn-the-creators-language/
