We have courses in Hebrew if that’s more suitable for you. Is that what you’re asking?
Chris – KabU InstructorModeratorHey Asher,
A person studies where their heart is. If it doesn’t speak to the heart then they can’t use the method. This method is about building importance for life that exists on a different level, a higher reality. Our given nature does not find that reality attractive. Either we start working at how to reach that level or we continue on the level of existence of the ego, without trying to acquire a higher level of nature that’s ruled by the quality of bestowal – the driving force behind the development of all of nature and especially humanity as a whole – or we continue the natural path of being led by the carrot or the stick, whichever way the ego dictates. If we’re content and happy on this level, then there’s certainly nothing that would draw a person away from that.
Thanks,
Chris
Chris – KabU InstructorModeratorHey Asher,
It’s certainly not for everybody. If a person feels like this is something that speaks and makes them feel like this is what they’ve been looking for, then they’ll stay, but if there’s no such sensation then it’s just another stop on your path to finding what feels right for you.
Best of luck,
Chris
Chris – KabU InstructorModeratorHey Marz,
As far as I can see and recall, this is only a reference in some of Rabash’s and Baal HaSulam’s writings like you said. It may have another name, but I’m not aware of it. It’s not a source we have in our library. Sorry!

Chris – KabU InstructorModeratorHey Dyrk,
I just saw you had replied by chance! I apologize I somehow missed this.
“Reacting correctly” relates to first of all, knowing where it came from along with some kind of emotional or rational understanding for “why?”. The ego doesn’t just reveal itself as bigger or greater or stronger for no reason. Every moment in time is brought forward with one goal in mind which is to advance the created being towards correction. Whether a person is aware of this or not, this is the direction nature pushes us at all times. If a person finds Kabbalah and begins tuning in to what they’re made of (will to receive and intention to receive for itself), that the Creator created him this way – opposite to Him – gradually building in a person the sensation that they’re opposite which brings them some kind of negative feeling, they can react to feeling “bad” since this is the Creator awakening us. This reaction should consists of: a) acknowledgment that this comes from the Creator, b) He’s making me feel whatever way I’m feeling right now, even if it’s slanderous or hatred towards Him for doing whatever He did or arranging whatever seemingly terrible situation – it’s still Him, c) The goal is to bring us closer to Him, d) He’s “Good that does good”.
If I can somehow arrange those conditions in my mind and heart correctly, I should already be seeing and feeling something completely different regarding whatever situation I was given – some kind of glimmer of “purpose”. We don’t have the strength to hold onto that, and the next moment the ego grows again and we have to move to position ourselves above it once again. “Above”, meaning finding greater importance for the goal rather than how I feel – what my will to receive feels. The WTR is only interested in feeling good, in being fulfilled. Any kind of deficiency is like a hunger that needs to be satiated. He did not create us to fill our bellies, but to raise us to His level – above our “bellies”. He’s not interested in making our WTR feel good, He’s interested in developing us to care for creation as He does, and this is what ultimately will fulfill us.
He shows us what a world ruled by the force of reception looks like. What happens when the ego rules and when we are disconnected from the Source of life. He awakens the “lightest souls” first, those who were part of the initial group assembled by Abraham, those who had an inclination for existence above the ego. We can’t grasp with our egoistic mind that there’s “good” in the atrocities that occur in our world, no matter what, we’ll always be looking for some kind of “advantage” let’s say for example the Holocaust brought – “Good? What good? What could possibly be good about millions of people dying?”. There’s no answer within the ego. The Creator makes calculations only towards the one created being, the collective and since we don’t have that perspective of, “what’s best for the family?” since we dont’ feel ourselves as such so any judgement we have is from within our ego which is only what I see as whatever is “good for me”.
On the path towards correction, our focus cannot be judging whatever we see without eyes and how we feel since it’s all corrupted and all egoistic. The focus should be on correcting our perception as quickly as possible. Humanity is waiting for us to make this correction, they depend on us so we can show them how to correctly connect between them so they can rise out of their Earthly suffering and into contact with the their Maker where they’d then justify everything they’d gone through individually and as a whole.
Thanks!
Chris – KabU InstructorModeratorHi Humehr,
There are other methods that use the source texts of the wisdom of Kabbalah but it’s according to their own interpretation as opposed to KabU which follows the method of Baal HaSulam, passed down to his student and son Rabash who is our teacher’s teacher who has now passed this method down to his students.
The lineage here is important since the method has been passed from teacher to student for millennia. The authentic method interprets the Kabbaliststic texts as instruction for correcting the shattered pieces of the soul which currently relate to one another with an egoistic force. The wisdom of Kabbalah is a method to correct this state and return the soul to one whole by correcting the force of connection between them to the quality of love and bestowal.
Thanks!
Chris
