(1) 1995 – I have to say, first, that for a Kabbalist there is a significance to a certain date that may not be readily discernable to us. If we are to progress by way of “the path of suffering” – meaning without hastening the states so that we move quickly and pleasantly through them – then everything is set in stone. On such and such date it is written that there will be a third, nuclear world war. After that will be a fourth world war. We do see too that in 1995 our organization formed – meaning that is when students started coming to my teacher. Also, you can research what breakthroughs happened then with the internet. It was actually a breakthrough time, and it is because of this that you can study the authentic wisdom of Kabbalah, which before you could only do if you happened to be in a town where there was a Kabbalist and he was willing to accept you as a student. You can’t learn this from books. You need a teacher and a group to correctly tune to what is written, even if you have the correct books.
(2) Abraham – We are so much in that same state that you would be more correct to think that it never happened in the past and that it is talking about us. We are the Babylonians. Nothing has changed. We simply spread around the world to get away from each other. And now the world is like one tiny village, where all are interdependent – but don’t want to be! Now we have to correct the egos that would not let us connect those thousands of years ago. There’s nowhere to run this time. Either we connect, or we’ll nuke each other, only a handful of people will survive, and they will include in themselves all the desire and suffering of all of humanity and have to do the same correction through connecting together that we could do now in a much easier way.
(3) Personal attainment – Kabbalists don’t like to talk about themselves. They don’t speak from the point of personal attainment unless it’s necessary. And here, we have the writings of Baal HaSulam and Rabash, who attained what they write about, and they say that “anyone can be as Moses”. So – even “as Moses”! Therefore, that is sufficient, and we don’t need any additional “proof”. Because it would not be proof anyway. If you think about it for a while you will know what I mean. Also, we have a very useful rule that no one speaks of their attainments, if they do have them. This is critically important both for the person and for people around him.
(4) Getting worse after Kabbalistic studies – Yes, but later you will see that this is just a phase and that you will get better. Everything will take on the right balance and you’ll be at peace with the whole world.
Hi Maria,
Sorry I missed this. Everything is arranged so that the ten environment will be supportive, and above all, goal-oriented. You have specific exercises, topics to discuss, readings – to ensure that everyone can advance as quickly as possible, according to the very specific principles that Kabbalists left us.
Don’t be overwhelmed, a bit of contact with the Light – already good. You need to aim through this world at the goal of life, whatever you’re doing. You have a ten? Then feel yourself in the ten wherever you are. Then you will advance a lot. And this course is an addition, to increase the contact with the Reforming Light.
Hi Joy,
Peh is a “location”. We can’t say it’s the Masach itself. The Masach could be positioned at the Peh, which is generally the place of Malchut of the Rosh. The Masach could also rise to Nikvey Enaiim (pupils of the eyes) for example, the place of Bina, where the resulting Partzuf would have the quality of Bina. Where in the Rosh the Zivug (coupling) with the Upper Light occurs, determines with which quality we are working, and thus what kind of Partzuf will come out.
The principle is the same for Tabur, however now we are in the general Guf (body) of the system. You think it’s a Screen because indeed Malchut of Tzimzum Aleph stands always in this place, guarding the Tzimzum, so that no Light of Hochma gets through.
In that sense we can also regard Parsa as a kind of limit, however we don’t say “Masach” usually because Masach means not a limitation placed on me from Above – like we have now, where all the Light is hidden, as in “guard yourself a little from below, and I will guard you a lot from Above.” But rather a Masach is when Machsom (barrier) becomes a limitation I myself hold onto, and above this limitation I have a Masach.
This is why Light doesn’t come down to us in our place. Rather we have to rise above Parsa, through equivalence of form with that place.
