I was blown away by the video, What kind of prayers get answered?

Tony’s explanation of the most effective prayer that is always answered and is beyond answered, The Prayer of the Many, tied together this entire 4 weeks for me.

Since we have no ability to do this alone, connection within the right environment seems the path forward.

I read this in the Speech for the Completion of the Zohar. 

-“They said about that, “The Torah is acquired by forty-eight virtues, by serving friends and by meticulousness of sages.” This is so because besides serving the rav, one needs the meticulousness with friends, as well, the friends’ influence, so they will affect him the obtainment of his rav’s greatness. This is so because obtaining the greatness depends entirely on the environment, and a single person cannot do a thing about it whatsoever.

Yet, there are two conditions to obtaining the greatness:

Always listen and assume appreciation of the environment to the extent of their greatness.
The environment should be great, as it is written, “In the multitude of people is the king’s glory.”
To receive the first condition, each student must feel that he is the smallest among all the friends. In that state, one can receive the appreciation of the greatness from everyone, since the great cannot receive from a smaller one, and much less be impressed by his words. Rather, only the small is impressed by the appreciation of the great.

And for the second condition, each student must extol the virtues of each friend and cherish him as though he were the greatest in the generation. Then the environment will affect him as a sufficiently great environment, since quality is more important than quantity.”

I continue to be blown away by the dedication of our instructors. From the videos, Q&A sessions, and the forums, its truly inspiring how we are kept in our progression. Many thanks.

As I start to read the readings for the lessons, I get intrigued and read further. This week I loved learning about Nature’s laws. “To discover the spiritual rules, we must begin to change ourselves and operate in accordance with these rules. This is why we have been given the wisdom of Kabbalah. Thus, the sciences we have known and developed thus far relate to the inanimate nature, to the vegetative and the animate levels, and the wisdom of Kabbalah is surfacing in relation to the speaking, human level.”

The Surrounding Light is a force that corrects human nature from egoism to altruism. We can strengthen the influence of the reforming light through the method of Kabbalah.

In one of the books by Dr. Laitman, it states, “the general law of reality is absolute giving, and all matter in reality must equalize with that.” It goes on to state, “Our progress in researching reality is a real adventure. We can begin to feel our past and future, and discover that time does not actually exist; that, in fact, everything already exists. A Kabbalist can move in time, as we perceive it now, and progress or regress beyond the present state.”

I want to learn the making of the Kli. I would like the womb (Light) to influence us so we know how to build our tool of perception correctly.
