- October 7, 2024 at 8:04 am EDT in reply to: Preparation Question: Our entire work in Kabbalah is only to attract the light that reforms. By this we receive everything we need for our advancement. Furthermore, I’m told that if I will help the others, I will advance myself even more towards spirituality. How does this work? What does it mean to help the others, those with the point in the heart, on the spiritual path? #392277
Deborah JoplinParticipantAt this point in time, I am processing the internality and externality of the Collective Soul. The Creator being behind my friend and behind me places me in the middle. The work, right now is to sense the Creator in the midst of interactions with my friend, and to realize that my mind wants to perceive my friend as “other,” but, actually, being fragments of one soul means that my friend is seemingly external, but is actually self. The opportunity to overcome the progressive Reshimot that are evoked by the interactions between the friends in the path, draws the light to us, causing us to advance.

Deborah JoplinParticipantI have to look up Dr. Laitman’s explanation of Galgata ve’ Eynaim vs AHOP for further clarification. I fascinated by the idea that our sense of ‘self’, our internal world,  is GE. And what we perceive as external, or others — because it reaches back to us– is a reflection of our AHP. It is “above reason” to understand that “others” are also self — because we are one soul. Dr. Laitman explains that AHP is a receiving vessel that cannot receive Light unless the GE vessel directs Light to it. The GE draws the light and must deliver it to the AHoP–so it can rise. The Creator is the Glue between us in the Kabbalistic Group. I am excited and intrigued — Thank you for the Light that revives my Point in the Heart when it struggles with the Corporeal World that I perceive as reality.

Deborah JoplinParticipantBy studying the Kabbalistic books, with genuine teachers, pleading for help from the Upper Force, and studying in a group where each person has the point in the heart and the correct intention, to clothe our reception with bestowal to bring pleasure to the Creator. The Creator is the glue between us in the Collective Soul.
September 27, 2024 at 1:27 am EDT in reply to: Preparation Prompt: What does transitioning from a self-centered perception of reality to one grounded in altruism entail? #390106
Deborah JoplinParticipantIt entails surrendering the illusion that we are independent of others with the intention of giving pleasure to the Creator by loving Him and doing what we can to receive the reforming light of correction on behalf of the collective soul~ and by doing so, we love our friends as our own soul.

Deborah JoplinParticipantHello, My name is Deborah.
I am studying in other courses at KabU. I am grateful for the way my perceptions of reality are changing due to the bestowal of the KabU instructors. I am ready to undertake an understanding of the Zohar. It is the written source of this wisdom. I expect to be further enlightened by education and experience.

Deborah JoplinParticipantHi Julian,
It looks like humanity still has a long way to go before every soul fragment makes the final correction. I know that those of us who will do diligent work with the intention to ascend perform Mitzvot that contribute to the Collective Soul– and I am eager to do all I can in this generation. It is still hard for me to wrap my head around many more generations/lives. I do find peace in fact that soul fragments get the time they need to return. Altruism is complicated… I need to be aware of the Spiritual world within. May our Creator work out all of our intentions to ascend.
