In video 1.4 when you state “…perhaps all the problems that we have and this technology that is pushing us to feel that we don’t have a purpose in life, maybe the problems are not there to really be fixed. In other words, we have
these problems that we think that we should fix with a political solution or an economic solution or a military solution, but maybe these problems are not there to be fixed, but rather to push us to find a solution on a higher degree” that to me was profound, and touched me inside because it makes so much sense. All these years we have tried to fix or control something that wasn’t calling for anything but for us to correct ourselves and find the Creator.Like Leanne I loved the video “The Rock God cannot Lift” and how the 3 conditions necessary for an act of bestowal are all met in the workshop: alignment to reach level of bestowal of Creator, unable to do so alone with my lone Point in the Heart, & the power/force the others in group add to my Point in the Heart to create motion in the right direction.
I also thought the book “Chaos to Harmony” is the simplest and clearest overview of what is wrong with us individually and collectively and the need for radical change to avoid total self-destruction ( which won’t happen). It sets up the need for transformation from egoistic desire to altruistic desire beautifully, with contemporary language and explanations that make a very compelling trail of breadcrumbs!
Just a quick one here…
Julian, video 1.1., it is Perfect! You ask us what We want (or expect), but you said it all so incredibly well in this video. It is exactly what I hoped for. And so…
I want to thank you, Julian, for making an absolutely awesome course for us!
And, of course, thank you to the team who helped Julian put it all together, video recording it and making it available on the KabU website, and the instructors (Gianni?) who take the time to answer our questions.
……..
PS. I wish I could have participated in the meeting that I understand you held for us last week, but I have been ill and have also struggled with other ego-demons. I will do my utmost, and pray, for something such as not being able to attend real-life connecting with my instructor/s and fellow Kabbalah students to not happen again!
Dr. Laitman’s film, short and to the point together with the visual aids, awoke something in me but what? The answer announced itself  from the articles of recommended reading. Not my usual reaction but there we go. Seemed to consolidate a lot of previous points. Shows that every part of the teaching is important.
I’m kind of conflicted about KabU because, on the one hand, the ideas being presented here are very promising and attractive. I love the notion of working altruistically with a group towards spirituality.
On the other hand, I get the feeling that most of these instructors are just talking from a script, and that they’ve never experienced any of the lofty ideas they’re talking about. Rav Laitman is just about the only person at Bnei Baruch who seems like the real deal. Joseph Ohayon and Gil Shir also seem like they may have had a glimpse of “spirituality” (to use this school’s lingo), but most of the other instructors just come off as just going through the motions.
In my 50 year search for truth I’ve encountered many spiritual teachers and students, some of whom were authentic and clearly connected to the Source, but most of whom were either frauds (in the worst case) or just lost folks trying to look as convincing as possible (in the best case). It seems like that same breakdown is reflected here, with Michael Laitman being the biggest draw – for me at least – along with the books, the teaching, and the method. So, I guess I will just have to “annul my ego” when I’m dealing with cats like Julian, Gianni and a few others whose names I don’t remember but who are clearly babes in the woods when it comes to spiritual attainment.
