El conocimiento de los 4 factores de libre elección, nos hace ver que en realidad este margen de elección es muy estrecho, dependemos en gran medida de factores internos y externos no modificables, no sujetos a nuestro albedrÃo.

Dr. Laitman’s Public Lecture World Kabbalah Convention 2016 was mind blowing for me, I cannot find the words right away but it touched me and showed the importance of Kabbalah

I was able to gain clearer understanding about the four factors of development. The manner in which physical objects are affected by their own “make-up” in relationship with the make-up of the objects around them helped me conceptualize how the point in the heart (seed of the Soul) grows and develops within our consciousness. That’s how I understood it, at least.

I want to thank you guys for giving me a clear choice.
I understand now how important the environment is and how much power is in this choice. I also understand how the Creator sends me distractions, doubts, laziness, disinterest etc. in order to give me a choice.
Making the continuous choice to be influenced more by a spiritual environment than other environments is absolutely possible. I can do that!

In the past two years I have paid special attention to decisions that I called “symbolic decisions”. Intuitively, it was very clear to me when a decision is simply a normal decision and when it is a symbolic one. However, I never really understood it. Most of my choices seemed completely irrational, but they changed very much inside me and in my circumstances. So, I kept making those choices.
Now, I understand that all my “symbolic decisions” were simply choices of which environment I would put myself in.
For example, at the start of the year I made the “symbolic decision” to not buy a gaming P.C. and instead meditate. Quite often I made the symbolic decision not to go to a party, but to meditate instead. All I did was choosing one environment over another.

Hi Ali,
There are not abstract numbers, they are very precise measurements. As a person attains spirituality, he begins to research it, and discovers all these numbers from his research. But what exactly is he researching, what is spirituality?
Essentially we’re always talking about a desire. Our current reality is based on our current nature, the desire to receive. Spirituality on the other hand operates according to a different desire, that of pure bestowal. The different numbers are just a different way to divide up that spiritual desire. This desire can be divided into 613 parts, or 620 parts, or 600,000 pieces, or 125 degrees, or even 10 sefirot.
It’s just like how we can study a person based on his behavior, or based on his anatomy, or based on his external appearance, or his internal chemistry. Ultimately we’re studying the same person, but from different angles. Same with these different divisions, they are all talking about the same spiritual desire but from different angles or a different scale.
So if we are describing the desire as 613 parts, then we’re talking about the number of corrections that need to be placed over the desire. This number is further divided into 248 desires of bestowing in order to bestow and 365 desires that operate on receiving in order to bestow. We’ll learn about this in detail in the more advanced lessons on KabU that deal with the structure of the upper worlds.
The number 125 comes from the structure of the upper worlds. This structure is just a division of the spiritual desire that we need to correct into sefirot, partzufim, and worlds.
The most basic division of the desire is 1 Sefira. 5 Sefirot compose 1 partzuf. 5 Partzufim compose 1 world. There are 5 worlds in total. So 5 worlds each with 5 partzufim each with 5 sefirot equals 125 (5x5x5) steps on the spiritual ladder. This number symbolizes the gap, the delta, between our nature and the Creator’s nature.
