  • Hi Mira,

    Humanity is headed not towards more superficial freedom, which is what they had, but towards the feeling of incarceration. And it will be immeasurably more pleasant a realization if we understand beforehand that we are imprisoned by our own egos. I am locked inside a bubble, and it doesn’t let me out. I always do what it wants. It leads me down a slow, painful path of development – towards the same goal we’ll reach inevitably – but through a press of development. If we learn the wisdom of Kabbalah we can learn how take our destiny into our own hands and how to truly feel free. Because free doesn’t mean democracy or being able to post whatever my ego feels like it and whatever I want. Free means to be above my ego. We don’t feel how to exit it is to sense a totally new, eternal world, above time and space. Just this, as if this small trigger within us, keeps us chained to this perception of reality. And it is something slight, but infallible.  As a result of it, is the persistence of my perception – that I’m in a world, there’s no Creator here, and it’s a pretty bad world. But this is just the radish I was born in, and I thought the whole world was bitter like this radish. But when we become free of it we come out to a wide wonderful world. So, in short, we have to learn the wisdom of Kabbalah, discover how much the ego controls our every move, learn what force exists in nature to enable me to rise above it, and what system do I need to establish contact with in order to rise out of myself to.

    This is not simple, but it involves the Restriction of the egoistic desire for myself and then I am neutral towards my own desire, above it, as if it does not belong to me, Therefore, I am objective towards myself. I do not use my desire now without first checking whether upon any desire, I can place an intention for the Creator. We have a lot of study before us, to be able to do this. Because first of all, step one is to study for the Reforming Light until it will gradually clarify in me what is the desire in me, that is in order to receive through and through. And then it has to clarify the Point in the Heart, so that I will see that I am like a dipole, with two completely opposite systems in me. Then there are more steps, but the main thing is to know that I need to absorb as much Kabbalistic material as possible, to draw as much of the force of Nature as possible which is standing by to change me internally, billions of inner changes which I have no power to discern, let alone change on my own. But it can and it will.

    Hi Jurgis,

    First by absorbing as much of our materials as possible. Then by implementing them in the group. That “tuning” is when you tune yourself to the general direction of a group of students who are on the same spiritual path.

    Hi Paul,

    That’s right. The Restriction & Screen are built in a group. That is the only way one will have something that is not him and feel the difference between for me and for others. I need to specifically integrate with others who are on the same spiritual path, it’s those additional inclinations towards it, which I am missing to build the Restriction and the Screen. Counting the Restrictions isn’t necessary because there are too many to count up until through many efforts it is actually built by the Light.

    Hi Marla,

    If you’re referring to, for example, live events with Tony where anyone on the internet can join, where there are with that territory those who are there not to learn but to draw students to themselves, or to simply show someone that not only the person teaching is wise but that they themselves are also wise and have something to add to the conversation from their spiritual attainment – these are either people who are not yet all-the-way despaired of their ability to attain spirituality without a true teacher and need more time to develop, or they are people who have many confusions that they still need to swim up from. Authentic Kabbalah though is like a sieve that per force sifts out all except those who have a true desire that can be satisfied with nothing less than revealing the Creator while one is still living in this world. And such a person, although their ego is actually bigger, is willing to close their mouths and open their ears. They usually have learned much, and they’re now wise enough to do so, at least until they verify whether this is the path which their Point in the Heart has been restlessly seeking. From our side, we do have to openly offer our events, however it is certain that such people will fall away. You don’t necessarily need to overcome the conviction that such people who disturb others and confuse others who are trying to hear the Kabbalah teacher should depart. Of course, they are sent by the Creator as well, as help-against, but it doesn’t mean we have to agree with such disturbances. You’re right though that directly confronting the ego doesn’t work either. But we on our end will try to root out such things as we become aware of them.

    hi Danielle,

    The relationships between us are always egoistic and opposite to the Creator. Anything that occurs to us to do is egoistic. We need to get our instructions from an outside source (Kabbalists) and we need to implement their advice with the help of a force that doesn’t come from within us (the Upper Force). Furthermore we need to practice in a place that does not accord with activities I might be doing already even if I wasn’t doing so in order to attain the quality of the Creator – like going to work, spending time with family. It has to be done with a group of students who also want to follow the same path.
