Hi Niklas,

Don’t worry, it’s not a problem. The fundamental and intermediate semesters are meant to be self study courses. The important interactions with students really begins in the advanced semesters. Until then, the main interaction that you have with other students is through the forums. This is a great tool for your advancement, especially the Q/A forums. Reading through the Q/A forums is a good way to connect with your fellow students. It also greatly helps to stabilize the ups and downs that are part of the spiritual path.

Hi Marcin,

It’s a static state of constant movement.

Infinite Rest With Infinite Speed

Hi Elizabeth,

When we rise above the ego, we’ll see this whole egoistic world as imaginary, like a dream, or a video game.

Hi Elizabeth,

As I wrote to you earlier in the week 3 forums, (https://kabuconnect.com/forums/topic/ask-anything-about-week-3-lesson-and-materials-and-get-an-answer-from-a-senior-kabbalah-instructor/#post-182996) the focus in kabbalah is not on changing ourselves. Each one of us is perfect. We just need to find where we connect with others. Then we’ll see that there are no redundant qualities in us, each quality can be used in a beneficial way.

Take jealousy for example. Without this quality, we would not have the strength to do spiritual work. After all, spiritual work means rising above our ego. This is something against our ego. But if we tap into the force of jealousy/envy, then it’s like the sages wrote: “envy, lust, and honor take a person out of this world”. Meaning that if we learn how to use these qualities correctly, we can find the right fuel to come out of our egoistic world into the spiritual world, filled with love and bestowal.

Keep in mind that we practice all these things within this safe environment that we call the Kabbalistic group. Outside of the group, we should act normal, just like everyone else. We’ll learn more about all these things and how to apply them practically in the more advanced semesters when everyone will receive their own Kabbalistic group.

Hi Maria,

Are these questions or just reflections? Let me know if you have a question about any of these things.

Hi Sandra,

You can say that anything that takes place within our default nature, the desire to receive pleasure, is predetermined. Only when we rise above this nature, do we gain any sort of freedom.
