To transcend our limited perception of reality to connect and be guided to our Creator benevolent force through equivalence of form ( i.e. in developing qualities equivalent to the ones of the original force).This is the only way to get access to parts of the true reality and understand our purpose in life which is receiving while giving to others since we are all united in life.

Thank you much Albert. It is a bit as I thought: it depends on the perspective adopted. And as you suggested as well as in the book we understand (or learn) the Kabbalah more from our heart and attitude, not so much from our Intellect. Thanks for the links also!
I have a last question. Reading chap. 2 of “Attaining the worlds beyond”, I felt uncomfortable by the way of explaining the left line :The left line represents the Providence over each of us, depending on our actions. It stands for punishment for evil deeds and reward for good ones”. I have difficulties with punishments and evil deeds (see I was raised Catholic although I do not adhere or practice any religion since I turned 10 y.o.). Instead of punishments and evil deeds can we simply put it as the consequence of our actions follow the law of cause and effect? Thank you
Dear Tracey,
It is possible to download the transcript of the video, so you get everything that was said and written. I found it very helpful. No need to take notes. We can concentrate on listening and read the transcript later, and you get all the quotes!

Hi there I listened to the video and read Chapter 1 of “Kabbalah for the student” Concerning the upper worlds, I am a bit confused with the categories.
According to our instructer M. Kosinec, the first world is called “the world of Adam Kadmon,” the next world is Atzilut, the next is Beria, then the world of Yetzira, and then Assiya. These being the upper worlds, then there is the barrier, then the corporeal world.
However, in the book aforementioned it is said: “the form of the four worlds, named Atzilut, Beria, Yetzira, and Assiya, beginning with the first, highest world, called Atzilut, and ending in this corporeal, tangible world, called Assiya” (Laitman, 2008, p.25).
Why are the classifications different, mostly: why M. Kosinec says that Assiya is the 5th level in the upper world, while Laitman is saying that Assiya is the corporeal world? I am sure there is an explanation. Which classification should we adopt? Should we included the first level as the world of Adam Kadmon? Are there 3, 4 or 5 worlds in the Upper World ? Does it really matter?
Thank you very much
If I strictly stick the question: what do I expect from this lesson: I hope to learn more about Kabbalah and its method to see if it fits my aim which is to get to know and possibly attain some part of the spiritual world and live in harmony in the material world. In other words is it a method for me?
Hi,
Lorie, here. I am a French Canadian from Montreal. I am facinated and very curious about Kabbalah and the tree of life I know the tree is just a part of it). I do not know anything about it except a few bits (about the tree of life). I do not practice any religion, but I am on a spiritual pathe.I envision Kabbalah as a philosophy and a way of living. I am interested to understans and know more.
