Does anyone know when I will be able to join a group of 10?  I posted this question 3 weeks ago and the answer was ‘a few weeks’.  Sorry if I sound inpatient, it’s just not very clear on how this is supposed to work.

Any updates on when I will be able to join a group of 10?

Is there a bulleted list of, I am not sure what you call them, dictums, core values…?  Something like below, but the top 10 important concepts in Kabbalah.  I find it very peaceful to think on these:

1 – there is none else besides him

2 – there is no coercion in spirituality

3 – etc

I have seen these statements quoted in the undergrad course and it would be nice if top concepts were bulleted out?

As a new member of KabU’s graduate program, I have noticed a strong emphasis on small group learning in the undergraduate program. However, I am unclear about when this approach is implemented, as the information provided on the institution’s website is not entirely clear.

I am particularly interested in learning more about the small group of 10 and its composition. Is the small group of 10 a consistent cohort of individuals who meet regularly, or is it a different group of 10 people each time? I have previously inquired about this in the undergraduate environment, but I was advised to wait until I entered the graduate program.

I keep expecting someone to contact me and say, “Here is your small group of 10.” However, I recognize that this may be an inaccurate expectation on my part. Nonetheless, I am eager to engage with this approach and would appreciate any clarification that KabU could provide on the structure and implementation of the small group of 10.

I appreciate KabU’s focus on small group learning and believe that it is a valuable approach to learning. However, more information on how to access and engage with the small group of 10 would be beneficial for students like me who are keen to participate. I look forward to hearing more about this approach and how I can get involved.

This four-course series has been an immensely pleasurable introduction to the study of Kabbalah. Throughout my journey in life, I have always been a curious person, delving deeply into various studies. However, the common denominator in all of my pursuits has been a desire to grow closer to the creator. Before studying the method of Kabbalah, I realized that I had always approached God from a very childish perspective. Although I loved Him dearly, I couldn’t understand the nature of the creator. Through the study of these concepts, which are presented in such a beautiful and simple way, my heart has gained a profound understanding of my relationship with God. Pursuing this method has sharpened my focus, and I now clearly understand many of the underpinnings of religious pursuits.

Although I have studied other religions and still attend church, I now view everything through the lens of Kabbalah, and it all makes so much more sense. However, the real work begins now. I acknowledge that my ego is quite large, capable of both beautiful and ugly things. For myself, I have recognized that this is the one true path I need to dedicate my heart and soul to, and I plan to do just that.

Delve into the pages of “Kabbalah Revealed,” the guidebook for ordinary individuals seeking a more peaceful existence, and discover the answer on page 135. The book unveils the four factors that constitute us and how we can utilize them to attain freedom of choice. According to Kabbalah, we are governed by four factors: (1) the first matter, also known as the bed; (2) the unchanging attributes of the bed; (3) the characteristics that change due to external forces; and (4) the alterations in the external environment. So, what is the key to transforming the physical into the spiritual? The answer lies in the fourth factor, changes in the external environment. To evolve into a selfless and corrected being, we must be aware of which social changes will promote correction and implement them. By doing so, we mold our essence, transforming our bed’s attributes, and shaping our fate. This is the very foundation of freedom of choice. Through the converter of the external environment, we can transcend the physical and embrace the spiritual
