It actually doesn’t matter here. You will understand later, when you understand what the whole method requires, why the Baal Shem Tov paid a drunk musician to play for him and uplift his mood so that he could make spiritual ascent. You can pay actors to act according to the principles we study here and you can ascend by that. No problem. Therefore, I don’t care if the friends are real or not. If they are willing to play this game, which is against the ego, for free, and they are even paying to be here, that’s good enough for me. Also, no, from what I know about human nature, without a true Point in the Heart that pushes them to be here from inside, one will not find the inner fuel to remain here. One has to have this inner attraction to reaching the source of life, the goal of Creation.
Hi Marz,
You’re seeing video from Israel maybe? At KabU we’re all together, men and women. And in the Grad Program we’ll all be on one Zoom and sometimes do breakout rooms together, however the man and the woman, though the reach the same goal, have different work they need to do to unite and thus reach that goal. Meaning men have to unite with men, in their style, which whether they know it or not, is completely different from the style in which women unite. Like in an atom you have parts that have this charge, which unite together in a circle, and parts that have that charge and unite in their own field, in the group too you have those who are charged like this and those charged like that. They can change all their skin and organs, and this inner immutable essence will remain eternally. Therefore, when doing the serious inner work, we’ll be together but in our own circles. And then we unite as two group like the protons and electrons form an atom, and we form together Adam HaRishon.
It is indeed atypical that one has others in their physical environment who also have a Point in the Heart. Instead, the Upper Force hand-picks them from all of humanity. But we don’t need to occupy a common physical space. Even if we did, we would have the same work we have through the computer screen, which is that I have to exit myself, out to the field of the Creator, through the others. This action is above time and space, and only I, because of my false perception of reality, need some reference point (others who have the Point in the Heart) to work with and exit out towards. You’ll have such a group in the Graduate Program. Anyway, the world isn’t going back to all-physical activities like before, it’s heading in a new direction.
The grad program is after Kabbalah Revealed 1 and 2, Kabbalah in Action and Kabbalah Experience. The others are optional courses.
Hi Ed. It’s when you know that you’ve found the place and the method you want to reach the spiritual goal with. Because the group is by definition a place where all who are there have decided that this is the path for them and they’re going to use the group to reach specifically this goal as defined by a certain teacher. So, first one has to learn what that method is and see if it’s for him, or if perhaps a different method would be better. Since the spiritual world and the way to get there is concealed from him, he necessarily must choose one method and follow it all the way.
