Gianni – KabU InstructorModeratorAgainst the perfected World of Eyn Sof stand several degrees of correction, which are only degrees of correction of my shattered attitude to reality. Only due to this inner depiction I feel I’m in a world full of crime, war, divorces, famine, and what not. It is written, “I the Lord do not change.” It only appears so because I change, thus it is also written, “Every day I have a new Creator.”
Gianni – KabU InstructorModeratorWe need a Kabbalist really of the stature of the ARI to talk about that. This is what he writes:
______
Behold that before the emanations were emanated and the creatures were created,
The Upper Simple Light had filled the whole existence.
And there was no vacancy, such as an empty air, a hollow,
But all was filled with that Simple, Boundless Light.
And there was no such part as head, or end,
But everything was One, Simple Light, balanced evenly and equally,
And it was called “the Light of Ein Sof (Infinity).”
And when upon His simple will, came the desire to create the worlds and emanate the emanations,
To bring to light the perfection of His deeds, His names, His appellations,
Which was the cause of the creation of the worlds,
Then the Ein Sof restricted Himself, in His middle point, precisely at the center,
And He restricted that Light, and drew far off to the sides around that middle point.
And there remained an empty space, an empty air, a vacuum
Precisely from the middle point.
And that restriction was equally around that empty, middle point,
So that the space was evenly circled around it.
And after the restriction, when the vacant space remained empty
Precisely in the middle of the Light of Ein Sof,
A place was formed, where the Emanations, Creations, Formations, and Actions might reside.
Then from the Light of Ein Sof, a single line hung down from Above, lowered into that space.
And through that line, He emanated, created, formed, and made all the worlds.
Prior to these four worlds, there was one Light of Ein Sof, whose Name is One, in wondrous, hidden unity,
And even in the angels closest to Him
There is no force and no attainment in The Ein Sof,
As there is no mind of a created that could attain Him,
For He has no place, no boundary, no name.

Gianni – KabU InstructorModeratorHi Toni,
Kabbalah is unrelated to alchemy. It’s also unrelated to psychology as it’s normally understood, as all those mystical approaches to conscious, unconscious…and literally anything else around it, even if we could say that there was something that all could agree on what it actually is – all that, however mystical, belongs to the corporeal world, and not to the spiritual world. This mind, that mind – it’s all part of one’s ego, the will to receive – more known to him, less known, it’s still that same ego. And Kabbalah is above the ego. We can’t even imagine something that is above the ego since we’re immersed in it, never having experienced anything besides it. And so Kabbalists are compelled to inform a person that Kabbalah has nothing in common with any other path or method – nothing enters the center of the Venn Diagram. “But what about…” no ‘buts’. As we advance we see for ourselves that it has nothing in common and no relationship to any philosophy or method whatsoever. The fact that we are very confused in the meantime, that’s OK. All will be sorted out by the Upper Light and we’ll see where all methods fall in relationship to the thin line that is the path to the Creator.
Gianni – KabU InstructorModeratorThere’s an order. There’s an exact order to the development of a fetus in the womb but we don’t really detect it: a bit of the lung, a bit of the heart, a bit of the foot… everything has order, it only depends on our ability to perceive it. A baby doesn’t realize it’s developing, it just develops, and obviously lacks the metadata to perceive this development as taking place according to an order. We’re the same in the many early stages of our spiritual growth.

Gianni – KabU InstructorModeratorThey’ll certainly succeed. Either they will leap towards the goal as great adventurers, joyfully and passionately; or such tsunamis – viral, economic, familial, natural, political – will come like encroaching molten lava, and from pain they will leap. We don’t need to advance through pain as that will be pains like no other undergone by humanity thus far. Therefore, all depends on humanity knowing there’s a goal to human existence that has nothing to do with tech, capital, science and so on – but with the good connection between people. It sounds so simple that we think that can’t be a solution to our troubles. Moreover we think we are already connected to others. Little do we know that we have never done what Kabbalists mean when they say connection, and that’s why the world keeps getting worse and not better. After all our smarts and thousands of years, look what we have in the world – starvation, rape, murder, hatred among everyone, nuclear threats, war, etc. So, all depends on the dissemination of integral education by which people will understand that they are connected to others but in a bad connection. And they need help from a hidden helping force in nature that can invert this connection to good. Then all troubles will vanish. We’ll be found already in the Garden of Eden. When will it happen? – doesn’t depend on time according to our sphere – the Creator has other planets and galaxies where time is different, and all together time doesn’t exist. According to our clocks, the creator has billions of years more that He can wait. Only for us waiting longer, even one extra second than necessary, entails more pain. Thus, no person has anything to do but go towards the purpose of their life ASAP.
Gianni – KabU InstructorModeratorThe Point in the heart is like the seed or embryonic cell that has the potential to grow to include all 613 desires in a corrected form.
