Thank you Seth for your kind reply. I greatly appreciate that this is a beginning course, and care must be taken to reduce confusion in others.
In this life, I have sunk to very great depths of folly, and miraculously, only by the extreme Love and Grace of the Creator, I have been hauled out of these depths and put onto the Path of Truth again. I have died in this body twice, beyond any possibility of living – but miraculously, life has been restored. And always there is the Love of the Creator in the Heart, regardless of how often I have turned again to folly. I have studied a number of great Paths of Truth, and it is like reincarnating again and again in one life.
In one of the videos by Gil, he commented that once we set foot on any Path of Truth, it remains and the next life will quickly put us back to that position again, to continue the next step. I have a vague Awareness of having gone through more lives than can be imagined, to get HERE. What is HERE? HERE is Eternal Oneness, Now. And this Sublime Gift has come through the Sound Current, what we can call The Voice of the Creator.
So, I realize the necessity of not going off the teaching curriculum being implemented here in this beginning course of Kabbalah. And I live these teachings and feel in my Heart that this Path of Kabbalah is absolute Truth. But I still Know that the Voice of God, as I feel it in every fiber of my Being, is very direct, absolutely Sure, with no complications, no sidesteps, and no confusion. Ultimately, His Voice will be everyone’s Salvation.
So if this Voice is not a part of this Kabbalah Teaching then I would please like to know now. If this Kabbalah Teaching does eventually lead the practitioner to actually connect with this Voice of the Creator, then I will know that this is a complete Path of Truth
I deeply apologize for causing any disruptions for anyone. But I have “paid” with extreme suffering for this unimaginable Gift of Peace and Bliss that I have through His Voice. I feel that I am “missing” something though or I would not be here in this course of study. So please bear with me.
Blessing to all.
April 13, 2023 at 1:35 am EDT in reply to: Ask anything about week 4 lesson and materials and get an answer from a senior Kabbalah instructor. #317871JohnParticipantMy question is regarding whether Kabbalah includes or has Awareness of what I call the Audible Life Sound.
There is a REALITY that can be felt/heard, with the Inner Senses, that is like a Sound, an indescribable, delicious, wonderous Music, a Vibration of Ineffableness, of Unbounded Infinity/Eternity; This Sound can be heard on the corporeal level, and it pulls the Soul ever and ever Upward, into the very Heart of the One Life, and then the boundaries of egoic self just totally and completely dissolve in THIS.
There is no longer even a sensation of receiving or of giving, all these issues are just – not in Awareness. There is just the Unbounded, Unending Bliss, and this fills the Awareness continuously. Receiving for oneself is just obviated as not possible, there is no separate self, there is only the continuous pouring in and the giving forth of this Music, that is pouring into The One Beingness unendingly, all as natural as breathing. There is also the Inner Light, on five different levels, that opens the Awareness to the Inner Worlds, as the Soul ascends to the fifth level, and then Beyond, and then Beyond the Beyond. It is beyond words to even give a hint.
The outer life goes on, but in this Awareness of this Inner Music, Guided by this Inner Light, no matter what seems to appear in the physical senses, it’s always all good, all perfect, all in service to the One Life. Faith above reason is obviated, as there is a continuous Knowingness that all that appears is just the only way that it could be and the Creator only intends Good for all of us.
This Awareness of this Inner Music and Inner Light is a Supreme Gift from a Supreme Master of another Path, called Surat Shabd Yoga. Surat is Sanskrit for the Attention, which we can look at as the Soul, Shabd refers to the very Heart, the Essence of the Creator, and Yoga means Union.
I am taking this Course to compare this Awesome path of Kabbalah, through this teaching lineage of Yehuda Ashlag/ Dr. Michael Laitman, with this path of Surat Shabd Yoga, through the teaching lineage of Sant Kirpal Singh, which I have practiced for 25 years now. Obviously, there must be a feeling of something more that is “missing” in my Path, or I would not feel to do this comparison. These two paths could be complimentary, or they could be a prerequisite, one to the other.
What strikes me is the previous injunction in Kabbalah, that one cannot be taught Kabbalah unless one already knows the Wisdom. Through this path of Surat Shabd Yoga, I Know, and this is not a hope or a prayer or a belief – it is direct Knowingness of what IS. I have been “breathing” this Wisdom into Awareness very wonderfully and easily. Of course, all Truth is included in Kabbalah, so of course there is a connection.
So my question is: does the Kabbalah Wisdom being taught here include the continual, day-by-day, as often as possible focus of Awareness/Attention on this Inner Music? Perhaps you call this “Intention”. What is the difference?
Thank you for this fantastic KabU Teaching Program. It is awesome.
JohnParticipantThe Reality that the Creator Created – IS. There is nothing else. We are His Creation, all that IS, He Created.  Focus Attention only on THIS. Let THIS fill our Hearts.
Let His Love be our only focus of Attention. And then feel the desire to share this Love in every way that opens to you. There is just One of us. You only share Truth with your Real Self. You only give Love to the Creator when you Love your Real Self. We are One.
The seeming shards of the big bang are part of the illusion, given to the One Self that I AM for the Creator’s own Purpose, to increase Bestowal on His Creation.

April 8, 2023 at 6:34 am EDT in reply to: Preparation Question: In what way have I gained a deeper understanding of my life and of the forces working in the world? #317328JohnParticipantI have taken this course a few years ago and downloaded many of the texts. This may sound a bit strange, but as I read the texts, and especially the texts relating to the Zohar, I breathe it in, through my nose, and it is so exhilarating, so sweet, so Pure, and delightful, I have never experienced anything like this. What a wonderous experience.
What is this? It is both physical and Spiritual.
April 2, 2023 at 8:22 am EDT in reply to: Reflect: Share something from the lesson that blew your mind, or even just gave you a new perspective. #316581JohnParticipantHere are some reflections from reading the Course books.
There is just One Fact, One Reality – The Creator. He IS. I AM only THAT which He IS. There is nothing else to BE. This is not at all an ego trip. This is just the Truth of what we all are. He Created after His own Likeness, and I AM THAT. He is Eternal, Boundless, the ONE Life in all Life. I AM THAT Life. This ONE created an Infinity of Unities, Wholes exactly like Itself, Eternal, Boundless, full of all possibilities. And I AM THAT.
In Eternity, there is no space, and there is no time, there is just NOW. Sequences of unfolding, step-by-step experiences, like climbing the Ladder of 125 steps of Spiritual growth, is just a way of increasing our Appreciation of the Creator’s Gift of Eternal Life. There is no Actual Spiritual growth in Eternity. In Eternity, It’s already a Fact, as I AM THAT which the Creator IS, A Perfect, Complete Creation, in His exact likeness. Not in space/time, but NOW. The creation of the illusion of space/time/limitation is only for the Purpose of increasing our appreciation of the unfathomable Gift of our lives.
Living in this seeming world of bounded forms, of limitations on every side, of a seeming world, “out there”, that seems to be in dire straights, heading for catastrophe – moving the Awareness from here to this Eternal NOW, is pure Bliss. This Kabbalah teaching, the great Kabbalah books, and these wonderful Kabbalah Teachers are a tremendous help in allowing this shift from space/time/limitation – to the One Fact in Eternity, and to Know that I AM THAT.
