Even though that’s logical, there’s a reason why many people have tried to do this, and yet the love they build is not the love that Kabbalah says that if I reach love, I reveal the spiritual worlds. It’s because everything in reality is lawful, and like with the order of operation in solving a math equation, with respect to solving the equation with the Upper Force and me, there’s an order of operations. If I try to go out of order, then I’ll have to start all over and go in the right order. And the first operation has to be in the spiritual group. I have to succeed with those who want to reach the Creator together with me, and then I’ll see what (if anything!) is left to do with the rest of the people.
Everything you do that is because you learned from Kabbalists what the Creator wants and now you want to help the friends reach what He wants for them, is a spiritual act of bestowal. It can be bestowal precisely when I do not have it revealed to me that I’m bestowing.
That’s all you need to do, Naomi: decide together that you must reach the goal. Try to show the friends that this is what you want, and by your example, you’ll help them want it too.
Your desire is understandable. You found the way to discover the secret of life, the way to know why everything is happening to you and to others, to be a partner with the Creator, learn all His secrets, and become His beloved one. It’s more important than going to Harvard, finding true love, becoming rich, and anything else we might want for our kids – and though it’s hard to understand how, it includes and swallows all those wonderful things.
However, if you want your kids to have a chance at this, you should only pass it on to them through your example – what it causes you to become, especially internally. They will feel this internally. And in no other way. Everything else in life that is good, you can somehow coerce your kids to do. Say, you can send them to SAT prep camps instead of having fun every summer, and maybe they’ll appreciate it when they become doctors or whatever. Not so with Kabbalah. If they could reach spirituality by force, of course they’d discover that it was worth more than anything else they were doing or dreaming of doing – it’s just that they will never reach it by force nor by encouragement. You yourself came here not because someone presented you with good selling points, but because of the deficiency formed through your long, long search. It would not be the same if you got it earlier, when you were a kid, for example. Because you need a VERY strong desire to reach spirituality. Your kids haven’t had the time to form this deficiency. If they learn Kabbalah before they have a deficiency, it’ll specifically bias them against Kabbalah, lengthening the time needed to correct their souls. It’s enough that they hear that mom studies Kabbalah. Then, if their Points in the Heart are revealed in this lifetime, they will know where the answers are. In the meantime, if they have questions, you can answer, but very gently, not too much, not expanding beyond the scope of their question. Again, the most powerful and correct teaching you can give them is the internal transmission they will receive by you seriously correcting your own soul – as you suggested, they are deeply internally connected to you and what goes through you will go through them, but in a way that they will still have free choice.
