Maybe try listening to the Kabbalah Explained Simply series on their KabbalahInfo channel on YouTube. It might just be you’re cognitively more suited to start that way. I get a lot of “aha” moments on Gianni’s videos, and some on Tony’s. The other people are also pleasant and interesting. They flesh it out in a way that’s easy to get a foothold wherever my squirrel brain is interested in latching on on that particular day.
That first one sounds like it’s not so much that Malchut rises to Bina, as it is that Malchut is at the bottom of an ocean and we slowly empty it and uncover Malchut and as the surface drops below Malchut she’s is then in Bina.
That second link is wow. I’ll have to read that a bunch of times. It’s a nutshell of Kabbalah I’ve never seen. This part:
“Question: Does it mean that the Creator is a force that the righteous reveals by reaching the property of the firmament”?
Answer: Yes, it is true. The Creator can be revealed only when He dresses in a human being. A man who attains equivalence of properties with the Creator is called righteous.”So, we lower the surface of the firmament by looking at every single thing in reality and re-categorize it from “other” to “none other besides Him?” and put a seal of approval on it whether we can understand what is going on there or not?
My best experience from the previous course was discovering how much has been added to it since I was here ten years ago. I am also loving seeing the number and quality of “Kabbalah Explained Simply” videos on YouTube. And I the reading material seems to make complete sense, which is something I never thought would happen based on my previous experience.
It is also interesting to me that it feels like my life was suddenly stilled when I started the classes again. Everything got quiet and routine and comfortable as if all the world is trying not to bother me. I could do these classes every day of my whole life, and I am excited at the idea that the world might let me.
Ok, I didn’t realized the advanced ones were still called Kabbalah Revealed. So I didn’t miss anything. That is a relief. Thank you!
I am amazed how much more material (especially videos) there are compared to when I was here 10 years ago. It’s delightful to be able to approach every concept from so many different perspectives. That is also true about reading the responses of the other students in the forums here.
I am surprised to find out I have learned a lot of Kabbalah in the 10 years since I stopped studying. I am not sure how that happened.
I hope for my fellow students that they are receiving all that I am praying for them to receive into their vessels, (in the way that I think I may have benefited from the studies of the friends during the years I have been away.) And I hope that their attainment means that the world is not nearly as forlorn and far from unification as it appears to me. I like to think that the Light is filling every space that I cannot see and I will have the blindfold taken off my eyes to find you all waiting there for me, already having attained so much, like a surprise party. That sounds silly, but it’s what I imagine for us.
