I wish for all people in the world to feel deeply just how great and wonderful we are. To know and understand that there is a purpose here and that is to unite with the G-d, to inherit the creative nature of the G-d, to cleave unto the G-d so that we may share in the wonder that is existence. I wish that the entire human family can see and strive to become unconditional ultruists and to return to the G-d the very same bestowel of joy that the G-d has given to each of us and to share our existence with him as one being.

Questions from the video, “The path of light”.

1) When the time comes and Adam Ha Rishon is once again whole and we re-connect and cleave unto our creator, do we all lose our individual selves and are just ‘One’ creature in connection with  it’s G-d or do we continue to exist as an individual? Will I personally recall all the lives I have lived and all the experiences I had during this seperation and correction?

2) Can we become aware of our Reshimot? This I ask because when I came into this life, I somehow knew things about this world and life in it, that most people I have know are completely unaware of. For example I knew by the age of 11 that this world was ‘Not’ real, that it was an illusion, a hell, a punishment of sorts, and that the only way out was to aquire enlightenment. I had felt since this time that I was here against my will, that I did not choose to be here and I hated everything because of that.

3) Is it possible to discern or sense our Masach. If our sixth sense is developing as we make the effort to walk the path of light, can we sense it increase within us?

4) I also have a very deep and personal question I would like to ask, however I do not wish to share this openly in this forum. Is there someone who I could contact privately to ask this important question concerning Mitzvot and Tikkun? Much of the events of pain and suffering in my life revolve around this subject and as I say, deeply personal.

Walking the path of truth…Questions.

Can the word NRNHY be correctly understood as ‘intensity’? as suggested in Dr Laitman’s comments in the ‘An Electric Stove’? To increase one’s intensity is dependant upon our ‘resistance’ What does ‘resistance’ mean in this analogy, my mind wants to think in terms of electrical resistance, but I’m sure it is much deeper?
Further it states that the 620 mitzvot are actually the 5 properties, or “intensities’ of the soul and that these are the ‘light’ of the Torah, which the creator is wrapped within as all of these 620 mitzvot are the names of the creator which he wishes to bestow upon his created beings. The Torah and the G-d are one.
Do these 5 letters of intensity, N R N H Y, which are also the 5 properties of the soul, relate individually to each one of the properties or intensities of the soul as is suggested in Dr Laitman’s article (above),
“A scale of voltages goes out like this but at every level the voltage is constant, and everything depends on this, how you connect to it: Nefesh, Ruach, Neshama, Haya, Yechida. You finish this level, you have used all the divisions of the switch on your “stove,” and now you can move to a new “stove.”?
Concerning the 3 ‘discernments;
The first, Isreal, is myself, me. What do I need to discern about myself in relation to this topic, ‘walking the path of truth’ ?
Secondly, the Creator, which we all long for, seems self evident but I wish to learn ‘how’ to discern the Creator, to better walk the path of truth?
Third, so now the 5 letters of intensity, the 5 properties of the soul, the 613 ways of Torah which are the 613 names of the creator, are the way in which we ‘purify’ our soul,

“This is the spice, as it is written, “I have created the evil inclination, I
have created for it the Torah as a spice.” and,

” Just like seasoning does not nullify the flavor of the food, but only improves and enhances it, so too does Torah affect the evil inclination. Torah study and its commandments do not come to destroy the evil inclination, but rather to purify and elevate it. The ultimate goal is to use the evil inclination to do good, so that it becomes like an ox that is made to plow a field. Not only should the evil inclination not be an obstacle to serving G‑d, it should itself serve G‑d! (latter quote from Chabad.org, 2 hearts in one)
This discernment seems to be of utmost importance and as I know from this lesson my failure to discern these are a result of my ‘incomplete’ efforts in the work of the G-d. Also as this is all about the ‘middle pillar’ of the G-d’s work and the narrow path it presents to our soul. This teaching seems to suggest that we must discern all three of these to achieve the goal of returning to the root of our soul, the G-d.
Then the lesson states the following,

” Hence, one who walks upon the true line of preparing for the work of
God must always test himself: Does he crave the three above discernments
equally? Because the end of the act equalizes with its beginning. If one craves
one discernment more than the second or the third, then one deflects from the
path of truth. Then this statement follows,

Thus, you had better hold onto the goal of yearning for the commandment
of the Upper One, for “one who does not know the ways of the Upper One and
the commandments of the Upper One, which are the secrets of Torah, how will
he serve Him?” Among all three, this is what guarantees the middle line most. ”

The final question I have is how to accomplish these thing in my life today. As I am eager to follow the ‘straight and narrow’ path as it were, I need to come to a deeper understanding of how to “Walk the path of Truth”

I understand that this message is somewhat verbose, however I really wish to learn the deep complexities involved in the work towards cleaving unto my G-d. Thank You
Shalom

A question for Seth or any KabUinstructor, I would like to know “which” rendering of the Zohar is used by and written about by Baal Hasalam. I have the sonicor edition of Zohar, but was told it is para-phrased. I wish to purchase a copy of Zohar that is recomended by KabU. Please help 🙂

[Philip Iyov Ecks]

For the Kabbalist, the Torah is not a history of a people and their religion, but rather it is written in code, in symbology to express what is going on in the spiritual realms using words, terms and ideas derived from the goings on in this world. If you should decide to study Kabbalah you will in a very short time see what I mean and the Torah will take on a much deeper understanding for you. Love, Peace. Shalom
