    Again I am assuming… that “this one small area of freedom” you mention in video 2, is not truly available to us till our older years when we are allowed to have the freedom to choose our environment. Before this, we have to conform to the family, culture, faith, etc. we were born in. Does this timing of freedom to choose the environment have any connection to the activation of the point in the heart? Thank you.

    Shalom, I have a question about the word we use often in English called “soul”

    in video 1 in this lesson above, you state: “Our point of freedom lies in the root of our soul”

    which “soul” are we talking about in Hebrew?

    I ask this because in other lessons I hear that we have to attain this “soul”, by striving to become like our Creator after the Point in the Heart is activated. That this particular “soul” is outside of me and if I’m not mistaken I have heard KabU teachers teach that if someone ignores this point in the heart he/she is without this “soul”. In Hebrew, there are 5 levels of the soul and each one has a different name – Nefesh, Ruah, Neshama, Chaya & Yechida. From my understanding, (and I can be wrong) life’s basic level of soul is Nefesh. So I’m assuming I am born with a nefesh. Because my language skills in Hebrew are very limited when we read these texts in Hebrew, which word is used? What did God breathe into Adam when He created him that was over and above the animals? Can you please set me straight? I hope I am not asking for too much at this level of learning 🙂 Thank you.

    To feel more Dvekut with my Creator, but also to practice as much as I can what am learning.

    Thank you for your clear reply Gianni! My quest to find the path back to our Creator has taken many years, but I do feel that with the material I am studying now with KabU, Chabad & several other authentic sources… I am home!!! My heart leaps every time I discover new things about our Creator in the books or videos (some of yours included) that I watch. Baruch HaShem and bless you too. 💖

    In Shamati 25, we are told that we need to cleave to the right books and the right teachers in order not to lose our foundations. With all the books and all the teachers in the world today, How do we know that we are cleaving to the authentic Kabbalah teachers and books, especially in the beginning?

    Lots of things have inspired me during this first course. I have been following your videos, on YouTube, for almost 3 years now. A lot of the information that was explained here was very familiar to me because of the many times I have watched your videos before. The knowledge you offer freely on the Internet has changed my faith in many ways. I have been studying Torah for 15 years, but after I started studying Kabbalah, it all makes so much more sense to me. Thank you & blessings on  all of you for your commitment and all the hours of knowing you give to us! I think that your giving of this knowledge freely is what has inspired me. It is one of the reasons that I felt that I had to star taking your courses.
    The thing I learned about myself is that I want to become all that the Creator wants me to be and that I want to see the world and everything in it with His “eyes”. I want to be filled with His love till I’m overflowing and to share this overflow with His creation around me. I wish the same for all the my fellow students.
