Hi Erin,
We’ll learn a few of the important ones throughout the fundamentals. But in general, if you’re interested in learning how to properly decipher the Torah, check out the books: Disclosing a Portion or The Secrets of the Eternal Book.

Hi Ilya,
Yes, you can say that. Check out this blog post from Rav Laitman for more details: https://laitman.com/2010/01/the-four-stages-of-attainment/

Hi Markéta, good questions!
Yes, we can attain spirituality in this lifetime. How long will that take? We learn that there is no time in spirituality. Reaching it does not depend on hours of study or acquisition of knowledge, but rather it works according to laws. One of these laws is that “there is no light without a kli (vessel)”. Meaning that if we don’t have the vessel (desire) we have nothing with which to get the light (the fulfillment for that desire).
In other words, everything depends on us, if we build the right desire for spirituality, we will right away reveal it. If not, then even if a few more thousands of years pass by, we will still not reveal it. This is called “there is no coercion in spirituality”. Meaning if we don’t want it, we will not receive it.
And although we spend a lot of time studying, the goal is not to acquire knowledge, but through the study to draw the light, a special force that helps us to build the right desire. Meaning that we don’t need to be super strong, wise, or talented in order to succeed in Kabbalah, all we need is to extract more and more of this light and it does all the rest.

Hi Ilya,
We learn that “there is no time in spirituality”. Meaning that there is no point in waiting for something to happen since attaining spirituality does not depend on time. Rather it follows the law that “there is no light without a kli (vessel)”. Meaning that if we don’t have the vessel (desire) we have nothing with which to get the light (the fulfillment for that desire).

As for crossing the barrier in a group. That is correct. First of all we do spiritual work in a group of ten. This is the foundation of all of our work. It’s like we’re building a certain nucleus. Once we build that nucleus, we will be able to gradually add to it more and more groups of tens until we’ll come to include the whole world in that connection.
This will be more relevant for us in the advanced semesters of KabU when everyone will receive their own Kabbalah group with whom to put this into practice.

Hi Ilya,
Things are definitely speeding up. We can see it in the world. It used to take months for news to spread and for humanity to react and change. Nowadays these things happen exponentially faster. It’s the same with our spiritual work. What used to take years and years of studies now happens much faster.
As for waves, corona was a big one. Many new points in the heart awakened during that time. It also turned all of our physical groups into virtual groups. The spiritual work in the group is still there, it’s just mostly virtual these days.
As for what to expect, expect a gradual, step by step introduction into the wisdom of Kabbalah. Upon completion of the graduate semester in KabU, you’ll be more than ready to connect directly to Rav Laitman’s lessons. At which point we’ll no longer be your instructors, but rather friends, equals on the path, working together towards our common spiritual goal.
