There are so many paradoxes in these spiritual concepts. What I am trying to understand is impossible. It’s like imagining a 5th dimensional object.

So, if that is true. The only way I can reach an intention to bestow is if I am led into a context, condition, or situation where it pops into my capacity to imagine it, comprehend it, and see that it’s something I want.

Is that what is happening here? We are spending as much time as we can following the breadcrumbs of these concepts that take us on some kind of a path to this epiphany?

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

Hi Logynn,

Yes, you can say that. Ultimately, bestowal is completely against our nature. Even what we picture as bestowal, we picture it through the lens of the desire to receive pleasure. But that’s ok. That’s the most that we can do and aspiring for that is enough for the light to start working on us and correcting our nature bit by bit, until it becomes similar to the nature of bestowal.

Thanks

I went on the YouTube channel after asking this and it seemed like the first video was about my question. It said that we each have a unique desire that is intrinsic, genuine and authentic. And that we are being lead to realize what it is. I imagine that must be the one that has the potential to be altruistic, and be the “button” to enter the spiritual world.

I was thinking about this last night. And if this is true, that we are being led to the realization of our one true and unique desire, the question of freewill is moot. Because it means that regardless of if our thoughts and actions originate from the Creator, or from our own will, they are advancing us towards the one thing that we truly want.

In which case we would choose each thought and action to be the same, even if we had full knowledge and attainment. If we had it to go back and do again, and this was the path to that end, we would do and think exactly the same things.

It’s completely irrelevant who is in control, because functionally the two entities are in lock step.

The egoistic desire was in agreement with the altruistic one all along. The only point of the whole process was to realize itself.

I keep questioning myself about the logic about all this in the reflection to the time and shape the world, nature and it’s people are in. It worries me a lot… any tips?

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

Hi Koriander,

We learn from the lesson on the perception of reality that the external world is a reflection of my own internal world. It’s like I have these dirty glasses through which I see the whole world as dirty. The moment I clean my own glasses, I’ll look at the same world, but now it’s clean and perfect.

So we don’t need to go out to the world and start correcting things we see there. We only need to focus on our own correction. And when we correct ourselves, this correction will be reflected in the world.

It says in the text that because  we are nothing but ” a will to receive pleasure”, I find it difficult to act in any way in which I don’t foresee personal satisfactions…Thus, it almost sounds as though I need to fake it. Is that a good approach?

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

Hi Ben,

In the corporeal world, we need to take care of our necessities regardless of how we feel about it. Meaning I have to keep working, taking care of my family, health, etc.

In our spiritual work, which is primarily within the Kabbalistic group, there we aspire to reach the qualities of love and bestowal. But since bestowal is completely against our egoistic nature, it’s impossible for us to have a real desire to bestow. In the best case scenario, we can ASPIRE to bestow. We can play pretend AS IF we want bestowal. This is as much as our nature allows and actually this is enough. Such a game, especially when played with other points in the hearts in the Kabbalistic group, is how we extract the reforming light. It’s ultimately the light that corrects our nature and gives us a true desire to bestow. Our work is to extract more and more of it until it begins to work on us and makes this aspiration a reality.

I am not a dedicated and studious student but I am trying. I get distracted unfocused so much. But I am loving studying when I do. I can’t even express my gratitude in all the things I have learned from this classes and videos, etc.

Bit by bit I am getting somewhere in grasping what is authentic Kabballah is and these concepts, and be ONE with the Creator. I know that the more  I learned the less I know but at least I am in the right path with Kab U team, the  teaching, teachers and of course Dr. M. Laitman. From the deepest of my ❤️ Thank you so much.

I understand that the Law of Equivalence of Form is key to aligning with the Creator and that our suffering is caused by being out of balance with these forces. How can I begin to consciously align my emotions, intentions, and actions with the laws of nature in order to create this balance and reduce suffering in my life and in the world around me?

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

Hi Natu,

The Creator’s qualities are pure bestowal and love. If we want to reach equivalence of form with Him, we too need to aspire to those same qualities.

Check out this blog post from Rav Laitman for more details: https://laitman.com/2013/04/everything-is-attained-by-the-equivalence-of-form/

Keep in mind that in practice, we start this type of spiritual work first in a small Kabbalistic group. In that group, we build a strong connection with other points in the heart that are together with us on the spiritual path. This becomes like a 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.

We’ll learn more about these things and practically implement them in the advanced semester.

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

Do we have an expectation of any person asking the Upper Force directly questions and then hearing a voice or having some kind of communication that gives us immediate answers – from the Upper Force, not our own mind or the influences of others?

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

Hi Vivian,

Every moment comes to us directly from the Creator. This is called “there is none else besides Him”. So the expectation is to try to be in a constant connection with the Creator.

We’ll learn more about this in the upcoming semester, in the meantime, check out this blog post from Rav Laitman for more details: https://laitman.com/2017/12/there-is-none-else-besides-him/
