Hi

I have a question. I am currently reading the book “Attaining the Worlds Beyond”. I reached a section, and again, the same catch-22 concept was brought up:

P 39 reads:

“Therefore, by striving to emulate the Creator in our thoughts, desires, and efforts, we are, in fact, building the structure of our own eternity. However, dedicating yourself to the Creator is only possible when we realise the Creator’s greatness.”

I have had no first-hand experience  (attainment) of the Creator’s greatness up to this point. I can attribute all the greatness to him subjectively because I choose to, but there is no objectivity in the process.  All I have are the things said here and there, most of which do not pass the critical faculty check.  So, I have to think of or believe in a Creator who is said to be great, and closeness to it is the path to spirituality and salvation. I have realisations, or, better said, “justifications in the Creator’s favour” for what are often called unfortunate life events, and that those led me here, where I convince myself is the best to be because I have no idea of other places I could have ended up in.

My question is, while I don’t have a strong grasp of the Creator just yet, how am I supposed to direct every action towards him, want to be close to him or emulate him? If the Creator is nature, my experience with nature is a brutal dog-eat-dog cycle of birth and death.

How does this confusing catch-22 situation break? I keep studying every day and watch the recorded graduate videos, but there is always some sort of brutal uncertainty and doubt. Could you please shed light on the matter?

Thank you. With the first part, the answer was somewhat perplexing, yet there was a strangely familiar sense of knowing without knowing.

Hello

I have questions about concepts in the book “Awakening to Kabbalah” – in discussion about reincarnation and souls returning in cycles for correction. My understanding is that Adam Ha Rishon’s soul shattered into pieces – the current individual souls reincarnating in cycles. Each soul is clothed in a body at a time. Now we have almost 8B people. In the last century, fewer people, and even way fewer 2000 years ago. What is happening here? Do souls propagate from another, split, or is there something left from the original soul that keeps shattering, or…? … It is very confusing.

What’s the Kabbalah perspective and stance regarding life on other planets in this unimaginably vast universe? Humans could not possibly be the only living, intelligent creatures in the cosmos. Do we have different Adam Ha Rishons, or similar ones, for each living planet? The creator created just one creature that shattered to become us in an inferior world. Did all 600k parts descend here or scatter all around the universe? If there are others, what are their desires? It doesn’t make sense to me. Could you please shed some light on the subject?

So, it is not that the group of 10 is necessary for advancement; we can reach the goal without it.  The importance of the workshops and the group were so emphasised during the course that I deemed it impossible to advance without them.  Without the group, I won’t have the multiplying power of ten, the lab and the practical means.  Is that correct?

Hi.

What is a “Young Group,” and approximately how long is the wait time?
What do you recommend I do while waiting besides studying the books recommended during the course?

Hi

I have joined the graduate platform. I couldn’t find how to join a group of 10, so  I submitted a ticket 2 days ago. I haven’t received any responses yet. Could you please help?
