I see thank you. It seems like some videos are behind schedule then. 7/25 there was a grad class, right? It’s not up. The one from 7/27 is up, though.
It seems like the course play list hasn’t been updated since 7/22? Is everything ok? I feel like I’m a week behind now because the big difference in time zones makes it very hard for me to attend live. They were being updated every other day before, right?
I was listening to one of those 5 minutes clips from Rav Laitman’s classes that came out recently. I think it was July 17th or thereabouts. In it his students were asking why no one has reached attainment in the organization even though some people have been doing the method for 30 years. I’m asking this because I can’t help but wonder if the system is so scientific and reliable then how come it’s not producing the predicted results. In the lesson the students ask him why he was able to reach attainment in 12 years but no one else has been able to do it. I’ve been mulling this over for a while now. Rav himself said he does not know and it’s in the hands of a higher power. It bothers me. I’m just being brutally honest. The claim is that these books have mysterious influences on us which transform us over time whether we understand them or not. Seems to me like at least some of the people who have had plenty of time to be influenced should now have reached some kind of adhesion with the creator. Is it possible to be gradually attaining? Or does one have to wait until Rav declares you are? These are my very personal concerns. I’m embarrassed to bring them up. Please don’t hate me.
What has impressed me the most is the wisdom of kabbalah is religion/superstition agnostic. Meaning it doesn’t matter which religion or tradition you come from, kabbalah speaks to the core of it. To the heart of it. Who could find fault with inverting our desires from self love to neighborly love? I’ve found that the very heart of what makes any spiritual teaching valid and transformative is the extent to which it can inspire this inversion of our core desire to altruism. Kabbalah is a method of doing so. Of explicitly how to experience the Creator and the Light in this life. So amazing. I wish for everyone on the path to discover the wisdom and find the strength to hold on and make it through. That is my prayer for myself and all people.
