Before my studies with Kabbalah I already knew that everything was connected and came from God. Since my studies with KabU I’ve learned how to work without judgement or ego so that I may better climb the ladder and also connect with others.

Through Kabbalah, we can understand our ego that prevents connection with others. In this way, we can strengthen the light that reforms.

Julian, you ask: “From everything we’ve learned until now, what can we say about our work with the light that reforms?”
Are you referring to our work with the Light that Reforms now, that we have become students of Kabbalah, or are you thinking in terms of our life up until now, including our recent months during which we have been studying Kabbalah?
One thing I would point to is that now we have begun to work with the Reforming Light from a conscious perspective, while in the past we also worked with the Reforming Light, we just weren’t aware of it – at least not in the way that we are (or are beginning to be and do so) now.
So you might sum it up this way: The Reforming Light always works with you, but as students of Kabbalah we can work consciously with the Reforming Light, so now it is mutual, we work with the Reforming Light and the Reforming Light continues to work with us. I’d argue that this puts us – and therefore the world – at an incredible advantage. At a personal level, it means we can achieve Equivalence of Form much, much faster than we might have ever thought possible.
The second part of your question: “By what means can we strengthen the influence of the reforming light?”
I will just put it very short this time: Books, Teacher, and Ten* (or a Lab**).
* = A Ten is a group of people who work with Kabbalah together in “real-time”.
** = I still hear people in KabU’s videos use the term ‘Ten’. So I think perhaps the word ‘Lab’ refers to a group setting that we use before we find, or get introduced, to the group that we will work with consistently and in the long term. I think that this final group is what we call a Ten.

Through society (other points in the hearts), the books, and the teacher

If I define my ‘work with the light that reforms’ as a change that I adopted in my daily life, which is to look at everything that happens without judging it as ‘good or bad’ , understanding that it comes from the creator and try to see how it completes the ‘puzzle ‘ of my life (in ordinary terms – what it teaches me or what it can trigger’ ) , I noted that my life is more peaceful, I am able to be more objective and observe rather than react and overall, I see a change for the better. To strengthen this influence, I would work on integrating these studies in my daily schedule until they become a natural part of it. And also, looking forward to meet my group.

I really cant say. I haven’t got any practical experience of the Light that reforms, and don’t know what it is. Is it the Endless Light of Ein Sof – which is beyond our limited understanding ?
