Preparation Question: In what way have I gained a deeper understanding of my life and of the forces working in the world?

[Debbie]

I am understanding that all I can experience trrough my 5 sense is only my perception at any given moment so there is continuous change  towards striving for the need to receive the unconditional love we sometimes experience between the distractions of this world.

[Matthew]

I am beginning to understand my emotional temperament, my joys and deep-seeded dissonances, not as responses to external stimuli and circumstances, but more as markers of imbalance and prompts to guide me towards a spiritual equilibrium with external forces.

There is lot to digest. I am going back and forth between video from previous weeks. I understand what is presented,  but have to pause and think about what is presented .still learningso I can explain it with ease. But everything presented makes sense.

Ok, never mind my question above. I have begun with Week 4 video and that is where my long question will be answered. Thank you.

[Elisheva]

I am in Week 4. However, I have been going back and forth from Week 1-4 and watching all the videos and readings. I watched Dr. Laitman’s video “Understanding the Upper Light vs the Will to Receive” several times. I have watched your videos several times too. When I watch the videos, I seem to understand and able to follow. However, I do get lost. My question(s) are concerning the Upper Light’s Concentric Spheres. I drew them today. I am more of a visual learner. Hence, a soul is created at the center of all spheres (the Red point-Love) and then the soul moves away from the center and loses its quality of Bestowal and Love. I even drew the little lines around the concentric spheres showing how the particular souls move away. At that point or beginning of moving away, the soul thus acquires the opposite quality (reception-egoism). This moving away from the center now the soul begins a journey that is going exist in the most remote sphere of the field of the Light. However, as the soul separates from the center, it leaves a Reshimo (record) of that pathway. At its most distance from the Light, a recording of the whole chain of separation (decent) remains embedded in the concentric spheres. The souls (my soul) is now opposite to Him.  “The souls (egoistic) desires perceive the most remote state as a person (soul) in this world.” And then, as stated by Dr. Laitman, from this moment on, the souls begin their way back. Here is my question: ultimately, the souls (us humans) will return to the Light to be aligned with The Creator. I understand that the process of returning is the Pathway of Suffering. If I understand correctly, as the soul returns, this is when we, I, will recognize that I was on the Pathway of Suffering and that Suffering is because my soul, I, will have recognized that I was on the wrong pathway and in recognizing this, that is when I will feel the pain of my Suffering. I imagine this happens to us, souls, at different ages. However, at what point or age do we suddenly recognize that we need to return, follow the recorded pathways back to The Creator? At what point does it click in our minds, soul, heart that we recognize we need to leave egoism behind and move back towards Bestowal and Love? I imagine it is different for everyone, of course. I am 74 years old. I have known about Kabbalah for the last 20 years; reading books, not really knowing or understanding the depth with which I am now involved with. So here I am. What caused, or what clicked in my mind to finally and truly want to learn in depth Kabbalah? I hope I am making sense. A huge thank you. I believe you will understand what I have asked.

Hi Elisheva,

The click is the awakening of the point in the heart, which can happen at any age. When it does happen, it will draw a person to a place where it can get realized. But if the point in the heart is not yet ripe, a person would continue their development on the level of this world for a few more years or even a few more lifetimes until it ripens.

Check out this blog post from Rav Laitman for more details: https://laitman.com/2008/11/only-people-with-the-point-in-the-heart-can-feel-that-kabbalah-is-the-salvation/

Keep in mind that through our work, we speed up the process for a point in the heart to awaken in others. This is because all of humanity is part of a single system. Within this singular system, there is a certain order of corrections that need to take place.

It’s like building a large jigsaw puzzle. First you start with all the corner pieces, and only then do you gradually work your way to the center. It’s the same with our spiritual work. There are those that are awakened to this work earlier and those that are awakened to it later. Those that received awakened points in the hearts are like those corner pieces of the puzzle that need to start the whole process. Later on, due to their good work, they pave the way for the rest of the world to join this process.

So ultimately, whether a person receives a point in the heart now or later depends on their place in the system, which is called the root of one’s soul.

Hello Everyone!

Firstly, I feel that I have not fully assimilated all that I have learned so far and that I need to go over all of the information again before it permeates my life fully. I am very eager for this process and am fascinated by the content of Kabbalah that we have learned so far.

I have had one or two experiences within the past two weeks that felt very strange to me and I tried to explain them to my husband, but I still don’t know quite how to verbalize them properly. I’m not certain whether they were as a result of what I’m learning in Kabbalah, or not, but I think that they were, so I won’t discount them.

I feel that Kabbalah is reaching me on a very deep level and that my consciousness has yet to catch up.

I’m very grateful for what I’m learning and I feel ready to follow this process as far as possible.
