Hi William,

(this answer is a continuation of my previous answer to you below this one, so you should read that one first)

Becoming one with all of humanity is a very high degree. We don’t start our spiritual work there. Just like if we had to climb a 100 story building, we can’t just jump to level 90 and start climbing from there, rather we need to start at the bottom and climb up.

So our initial spiritual work is all in the Kabbalistic group. This is the foundation of all of our work. It’s like we’re building here a certain nucleus. Once we build that nucleus, we will be able to add to it wider and wider circles of the world, until we’ll come to include the whole world in that connection. But this is gradual work. And until we build that nucleus, we have nothing with which to do any spiritual work towards the world.

So until then, how do we behave towards the rest of the world? We behave normally there, just like everyone else. Meaning don’t make a saint of yourself and at the same time don’t cause harm to others, but just act there the way normal people act.

Hi William,

“There is no coercion in spirituality”. So we cannot do spiritual work with just anyone. We need to find those with active points in the hearts that are interested in doing spiritual work together with us. Given that these types of people are rare, less than 1% of the world, chances are you won’t find someone like that among your corporeal acquaintances or family members.

So where do we find such people? In the Kabbalistic group. The Kabbalistic group is made up of many people around the world that are interested in using the Kabbalistic method to reach spirituality. And in the more advanced phases of KabU, everyone will receive their own Kabbalah group with whom they can put all these things into practice.

Hi Sarah,

It could be both. It could also be that by extracting more light, we begin to relate to life not as a string of unwanted experiences, but as constant exercises that come to us directly from the Creator to help us to develop towards the purpose of creation.

Hi Sarah,

I cannot comment on your personal situation, but in general, all of our advancement on the path of light is by extracting more light. We do this through the Kabbalistic studies and through the game of playing out these higher degrees of bestowal that we are learning about in the Kabbalistic group.

We’ll learn more about these things in the more advanced lessons. In the meantime, check out this blog post from Rav Laitman: http://laitman.com/2012/03/building-blocks-of-the-first-spiritual-degree/

Hi Otienodhek,

It depends on the context, but it could be used for both of those things. On the one hand, there is a spiritual system called Adam HaRishon, which is the system of connections between all of humanity.

Check out this blog post from Rav Laitman for more details: https://laitman.com/2014/05/puzzle-adam-harishon/

On the other hand, in our world there existed a person at some point who was called Adam. He was the first Kabbalist, the first one to reveal the Creator in practice. His name gives us a hint at this since Adam comes from the Hebrew word “Dome”, meaning “similar to”. He was not the first person alive, but rather the first one to reveal the Creator by becoming similar to this quality of love and bestowal.

Regarding being confused, in truth, we all have a certain set of baggage with which we come to the wisdom of Kabbalah, but we don’t need to fight these things or try to force changes upon ourselves. All the changes we experience here are not due to our own strength, or mental geniusness, or anything of that sort but rather all the changes we undergo is due to the force of the light that we extract from the Kabbalistic studies. It’s ultimately this force that can change us, not we ourselves. So it does not matter what baggage we come with, when we place ourselves under the influence of the light, it will make all the necessary clarifications, changes and corrections upon us.

Hi Michael,

Yes, I can measure the rate at which I develop spiritually in my attitude towards others that are doing spiritual work with me. I begin to see how my attitude towards them changes from complete indifference all the way until I start to feel them as pieces of my soul. We’ll learn more about this in the more advanced lessons.
