In a world where people are connected to each other through spiritual law of love, the perspective of looking and resolving issues would shift to its opposite from its current state. I feel that generally speaking our current approach to how we resolves issues is for each side to prove that their side is right or that it is not to blamed, or simply by one side bullying the other to submission. All of our global issues can be resolved right now, today, if we only looked at the issues from perspective of resolution and what is the solution, not which side is right or which side can argue better the righteousness of their position. In the world where spirituality and law of love drives our decisions, issues would resolve based on what is best option for the well being of the Whole. I also imagine that in such a world, issues may even never have the opportunity to arise at all. In such a world smoothly and in harmony, All of Nature would act only to benefits the Whole of Nature.

My goal is to sharpen my current understanding of the blueprint of creation (the nuts and bolts of the system), and grasp the meaning and spelling of Kabbalistic terms along the way, as well as Kabbalistic methods to stay consciously connected to the system.

[Peter]

Based on the class reading it seems that there are 3 levels in the Human Vitality Levels (Still, Vegetative, Animate and Human)3 parts:

Human level
Human Level with the point in the Hearth that is not being developed
Human Level with the Point in the Heart that is being consciously developed by the person (and this is the speaking level – that is the level we want to be on)

Is that correct to look at the HUMAN level in that way?

Also…

This week my faith in Kabbalah is being questioned in me like it was never before. My head has introduced reasonable doubts I have never thought of. The other truth is that I feel that any effort to leave Kabbalah would be futile. I feel deeply that the force pulling me forward is stronger and absolutely out of my control. That reminds me that I am in good hands and it is comforting. Yet part of me struggles with this truth, which I find makes no sense. Something in me does not want me to move forward. It must be my Ego because the reasons against Kabbalah are going through my head and are reasons. Facts based in this world not in the Upper World. The force pulling me forward has no reason to it, it just is. I dunno. Any advice on how to ease these periods of doubt? I begin asking the creator for courage and strength to stay on the path that he has for me.

Thank you,

Peter

Thank you. This helped in affirming or correcting what I understood through the classes and materials. Great thanks again.

[Peter]

Expand beyond self, through others connect to the creator. Help one another to rise in a group of 10.

The only way to know the creator is through the connection with others. That is the 0nly way to connect with him. Its so simple and brilliant and beautiful.

[Peter]

I have been re-reading prior class materials, and now with new perspective I have additional questions. Is this the right forum to ask these questions?

I am including the subjects and questions below. If this is not the correct forum to address these, please let me know where to post these to obtain answers. Thank you.

 

Chapter 7 Guide To Hidden Wisdom Of Kabbalah

My understanding of the reading re. Spiritual Development, and questions.  

SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT: The initial goal is to get over the Barrier so our spiritual development can begin (the point in the heart is awakened).
Climbing the 125 Ladder
The smallest element of spirituality is Sefirot
There are 5 (10) Sefirot
Mechanics of the Method
5 Sefirot combine to ONE Face
5 Faces combine to ONE World
There are 5 Worlds
Hence 5X5X5 = 125

Question 1: What is Partzuf (Face)? Is it attainment of one’s knowledge of whom one is at that level (also level of attainment of knowledge of the Creator)? Is it like a level of our own knowledge of who we are and what we would or not would do, or what we stand for or do not? I read the meaning of Face as attainment of some level of knowing who I am. I have been reading the meaning of FACE quite literally as attainment of a set of (my) beliefs or what I stand for. My face is that set of beliefs that I attained at that level. That is how one would recognize me. That is my real face (not the corporal, cellular, biological face)

Question 2: What is meant by a World.

Question 3: There are 613 desires that need to be corrected as we climb the ladder through 5 Worlds (Assiya, Yetzira, Beria, Atzilut, and highest Adam Kadmon.

Question 4: Do Kabbalist teachings associate a set of the 613 desires into each of the worlds? Meaning when we are climbing to Assiya we are correcting these desires; as we are climbing to Yetzira we are correcting these desires, etc.?

Question 5: Is the climb progressive or collective? We have to go through Assiya and Yetzira in order to start work in the world of Beria, or is the correction on multiple Worlds at the same time?

There are 5 PHASES of spiritual reality with 4 steps (Phase 0: Root Point also Keter; Phase 1: Will to Receive also Hochma; Phase 2: Wanting to to Give to the Creator, also Bina; Phase 3: Realization only way to give to creator is to do what he wants of us, also Tifferet (ZA); Phase 4: To understand the thought of Creation. Why giving is pleasurable, what does it provide, also Malchut.

Question 6: Sounds like Malchut is where we are mostly separated from the Creator, is this our future state, or current state? Is this the state that we are going towards ? This state confuses me.

DEATH, REINCARNATION, POINT IN THE HEARTH

As I currently understand it, our bodies die, we are reincarnated as a part of the process over and over again, perhaps through thousands of years (we are the same but in different clothing).

Once we are ready, in a perfectly planned way, our point in the heart awakens, and we begin our spiritual journey.

That spiritual journey can take a lifetime or many lifetimes. One way we can help speed it up is to follow the Kabbalist method including learning through connection in a 10 person group.

Question 7: How does the experience of death differ between a person within whom the point in the heart was not awakened and a person within whom the point in the heart was awakened?
