To objective reality, to reality not filtered through my program.

Ultimately, there is only Creator and the will of Creator – but, until we attain that level of lived reality, this is merely intellectualizing, and we must live on our level, where we are responsible for the choices we (seemingly) make. Is this correct so far? And, on this level, we do have the choice to nurture our desire to draw closer to Creator, even though we are actually powerless to actualize this – yes? And, is this choice to prioritize the growth of our desire what makes us worthy of perceiving the Creator’s greatness and earning the Creator’s special attention?
One last question: Am I asking too many questions? Thank you.

This is certainly my experience. Sometimes, I feel such rapture I can hardly move, sometimes such a profound ‘aha!’, and even feel that Dr. Laitman is speaking directly to me – and, at other times, I feel nothing and can’t understand why I saw anything in it earlier. The introduction is reassuring, helping me to not grasp, to just observe, and to learn from the process.

I am having further questions now. My understanding is that Kabbalah is a vehicle for bringing humanity to the next level of evolution, equivalence of form with the Creator; yes? Will evolution stop there? In Kabbalah Revealed, Dr. Laitman writes, “In the process of uniting, we will learn why Nature does what it does, and become as wise as the Thought that created it.” This seems to imply that there is something higher than Nature; yes? And if so, would the next evolutionary step be towards reaching attainment of that? And, lastly – when we achieve equivalence of form, and become able to control our destiny, would ‘create’ be a synonym for ‘control’? Am I correct in understanding that we acquire this ability because our intention and will have become synonymous with Nature’s?

Thank you!

In the last few minutes, there’s some footage of a KABU Retreat, and if I’m not mistaken, the men and the women are sitting on opposite sides of the room. Why is this?
