Hi Peter,

Nothing is lost. If we don’t finish this work in this lifetime, we continue it in the next. Kabbalists compare the process of life and death of the corporeal body as to changing shirts: at the end of the day, we drop our dirty shirt into the hamper and in the morning put on a clean one. So we don’t lose anything, but continue the next time around until we reach the final correction.

Hello Kebede Mamo Dessis,

Studying in a group is necessary when we reach a certain level of spiritual development.

This process is similar to how kids develop. When they are still babies, they have no need for other classmates or playmates and just develop by themselves. But once they get older, they begin to understand that others exist and that playing and learning with others is even more fun and beneficial than playing by themselves.

Same with us here. We’re still in the fundamentals of this wisdom, so we’re like those babies that are just starting their development. At this point, it’s perfectly fine for us to study and learn by ourselves. When we reach the advanced courses, we’ll begin to feel that studying by ourselves is very limited and we’ll feel the need to study in a group. At that time a virtual group will also be provided for us within the framework of KabU.

Hi Elliott,

If you choose to continue your studies with KabU, in the more advanced semesters, everyone will receive their own Kabbalah group with whom they can put all these things into practice.

And in the meantime, your group consists of these different KabU forums, weekly lessons, live sessions, etc.

Hi Lisa,

We learn from the shattering of the system of Adam HaRishon that the only thing that is broken in the ENTIRE system of creation are the proper connections between people. In other words, correction does not mean that there is something wrong with me and I need to fix that thing. Rather each one of us is perfect. The only thing we need to correct is our connection to others.

Just picture all of humanity is part of a single system. Like a 8 billion piece jigsaw puzzle. Each piece of the puzzle (each person) is perfect by itself and does not require any correction. Meaning that we don’t need to recolor any of the pieces or cut off any seemingly excess parts. The only thing we need to do is find where each piece fits relative to all the other pieces.

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

So when Kabbalists speak about the 613 egoistic desires that need to be corrected, they are not speaking about our corporeal desires. Each and every single one of those egoistic desires are only in the connection between people. This is why Kabbalists write that “love your friend as yourself” is the greatest rule which encompasses all of our spiritual work, all of the 613 desires that we need to correct.

We’ll learn how to do this practically in the more advanced lessons.

Hi Maria,

We learn that all of humanity is part of one single system, like cells within a single body. So naturally what one experiences influences EVERYONE else. And if I reach a correction, this same correction influences everyone. But I don’t actually correct the other person, rather I correct my part that is found within everyone.

It’s like a hologram where the big image is made up of identical smaller copies of that image. So if there is a flaw in one of the smaller images, that same flaw is found in every piece. And if you correct that flaw in the small piece, it’s reflected in the whole image.

So if I correct myself, I correct my part of this general picture. That is called reaching one’s individual final correction. But each one will still need to correct their part of the general picture. And when everyone corrects their part, then we reach the final correction of the whole world.

Hi Ricki,

Yes, it’s possible to move through the double and single concealment stages multiple times.

For more details about these stages, check out this blog post from Rav Laitman: https://laitman.com/2012/01/understanding-his-providence/
