Hey Steve,
He’s usually writing to his students. I say usually because I know this is what I remember but I also have a memory that maybe he wrote also only to the Rabash, but I may not be correct about that.
Thanks!

Hey mrc,
The best way to answer this is an example from our world. You have mother and father, but they are also hero and nurse, protector and healer, punisher and lover etc.. There are all different names given to describe the different impressions on the will to receive from the upper light. One way it’s like this, the other way it’s like that but it’s always None Else Besides Him.
Thanks!
Chris
Hey Jose,
First we have to know where it is, maybe even more importantly, where it’s not. It’s not anywhere but between people, others in this world around us. Connecting with the spiritual world is first leaving or disconnecting from the world which conceals that reality. From self-love to love of others.
How long will this take? It just depends on the person, the root of their souls, the effort they contribute, the environment they connect themselves to which ultimately pulls them out of themselves. It’s both an internal and group matter. It’s working together and helping one another.
Practical action? Definitely, attend any gathering or group action, connect yourself to that “blob” of people who want to attain the spiritual goal and don’t let go. Stay adhered to the source texts and don’t leave them. Nothing happens at once. It’s a gradual development, but if you work at this and become more sensitive to the changes , you’ll see you are always advancing, knowing what changed in you and what you need to correct to be aimed at the goal again.
Spirituality is devotion to the Creator. It’s loving Him through love of others. It’s the ability to be above yourself 100% so as not to corrupt the pleasure He wants to bestow to all of creation. It’s the recognition that we are all one creature and existing for myself actually causes me the greatest pain even though it’s my most natural tendency, and always will be. It’s the purpose of creation though, for each of us to attain that level and feel what it is to truly be free, which is what we all want just not all of us feel it yet.
Best of luck, Jose.

Hey David,
Exactly. If we invest more in them, if we co cern ourselves with them more, want to care about them more, we will be more sensitive to those things – like a mother who knows what fulfills her children – from the small things to the big things. You will feel their desires in you, but it’s still you feeling but this is how we build within ourselves this new device which will be ready to give to others. Tzimzum, Masach and Ohr Hozer.
Good luck! ❤️
Hi Devorah,
1) You’re asking with respect to Kabbalah I assume…yes? The answer is none. There are some students who keep that tradition, but it has nothing to do with the study nor are they used as a supplement to the study. Religion and Kabbalah have a very distinct line drawn between them.
2) It’s not about superseding, it’s about the method of correction. If a person wishes to correct their soul, they follow the teachers who have made the corrections and instruct us how do follow in their footsteps. They do not mention observing any Mitzvot in the physical sense as you’re asking about.
3) This is certainly set up for you this way from above, so you take what you can get. Of course, don’t jeopardize your well-being. You need sufficient sleep and time with family etc. so try and keep a normal routine and what you can manage, you manage. You’re not “penalized” or anything like that : )
4) Ah of course, no worries. Once you can finish the course and move on to the graduate environment, there you’ll be provided with anything you need, and there are MANY English speakers not just in the US but around the world who will be there to welcome you.
All the best!
Chris
