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.
This are whole new concepts that seemingly I feel familiar with.. or is it familiar to? So far so good. Yearning so much to learn more. By the way on the section about The Great Kabbalist Throughout History.. why do I have a feeling… history was somewhere re-written especially in regards to the New Testament.
I loved the video The Rock the Creator Cannot Lift. I have struggled my whole life to understand free will. I have felt that I don´t have any, but that left me with no sense of autonomy or motivation to aim for anything. The first thing that clicked for me was when Tony said you can feel like you´re imprisoned or like a ´treasured guest´. That blew my mind. I am a treasured guest and God has my life covered. Next part – my free will is in actively turning my attention towards the Creator to rebuild the shattered soul. The big events in my life are not within my control, but my focus towards spirituality is. I can´t change the picture on the TV, but I can change how I see it. So this is balancing out for me now and bringing much greater calm and trust in life after so many traumas.
I can work towards lifting that rock.
