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.
Hi Raiza,
The authentic wisdom of Kabbalah a person cannot study if they don’t have a Point in the Heart. It has no special icons, prayers or customs to hold onto and promises you nothing in the afterlife. It gives you no prestige, but the opposite: no one will comprehend why you’re busy with this unless they too have a Point in the Heart. Anything else – yoga, a religion, some other ambition – they can somehow understand. But Kabbalah? Therefore a person gets the method by which a person can attain the quality of the Creator without being confused with the targets we typically aim for in this life.
As for a husband, you should choose one by the regular standards you would go by. A Point in the Heart is rare and it’s hard enough to find a spouse. It would be good if he knows you have this desire to realize the meaning of your life, if that is important to you. And of course, if it were possible it would be ideal if he had a Point in the Heart but you can’t in any way push that on a man. He either has it or he doesn’t. Meaning it’s awakened now or will later.
Hi Paul
Segula means remedy in Hebrew, it’s that simple. It’s called remedy because like when I go to the doctor with a serious illness I must take the medicine he prescribes, by using the knowledge of the doctor, and not relying on my knowledge, because I could die a few times over before I can acquire the medical expertise of the doctor; similarly when I discover I’m sick with a quality of reception that prevents me from revealing the Creator, due to the law of Equivalence of Form, I must simply grab onto the Kabbalists and follow their advice as a remedy. It doesn’t seem so to me? No problem. I take it as-is, like I swallow the medicine in the pill bottle. It’s the wise guy who thinks he knows better than doctors – even a little bit – who is actually the fool.
