I am Surprised that Abraham is actually real. In the written torah its widely accepted that 5 schools wrote this book of Kabbalah (which makes sense).  So to discover hes an actual person, and nimrod are real, is very surprising. It is said that when we attain the level of Abraham we can go back and know all he knows -Dr Rav Michael Leightman in his book “The Kabbalah Science and the Meaning of Life” I am not sure what he meant by this but im looking forward to the journey to find out
March 20, 2022 at 8:15 pm EDT in reply to: Ask anything about week 1 lesson and materials and get an answer from a senior Kabbalah instructor. #284389Richard LivelyParticipantYou referred to Preparing our imagination for the ten. Ba’al Sulam recorded in his Prophecy of Ba’al Sulam, ” it seemed as though all the people in the world have gathered in a group before my mind’s eye.”
What is the “mind’s eye’? Is this part of what you mean by imagination, is this how we “sense the upper worlds? Or is this simply more Kabbalistic Code, that is too hard to understand. I am curious why attainment is so cut and dry, because on the outside it simply looks like we must slowly do inwardly psychological work to reach the worlds. That does not make a lot of sense either simply because how would one know which degree one was on based on inwardly changes of actions (unless there is a list).  Lots of questions about the preparation of imagination but these are just a few. Thank you for your patience and explanation. I am trying to separate the fictional from the non fictional style poetry of Roots and Branch writing. This way I can try my best to understand at least from a beginner point of view. Sadly the more I dig and advance in the study of technical Kabbalah the less I understand and have questions about practical Kabbalah. One thing I know is for sure, the desire is there for these and many other answers
March 20, 2022 at 4:14 pm EDT in reply to: Preparation Question: Starting a new course in Kabbalah is similar to a fetus moving on to a new trimester. The warm and fulfilling womb is still the same, but the desire and needs of the future human are evolving. Before we start the first week let’s set our expectations. How do we want the womb (Light) to influence and evolve us? What do we desire to achieve in this semester? #284366Richard LivelyParticipantI recognize you from the Live Q&A, I am glad we are growing together.

March 20, 2022 at 4:08 pm EDT in reply to: Preparation Question: Congratulations on progressing through the intermediary stages of your Kabbalah learning by staring this new course! Since the wisdom of Kabbalah deals with developing our precious eternal part—the soul—it is important to take a moment to note your expectations from this stage of your journey, and later check back and see what aligned with or differed from your expectations, and how you might’ve changed in the process: What do you hope to get out of this course you’re now starting? #284364Richard LivelyParticipantI want to recognize my screen is not broken.
March 19, 2022 at 4:33 am EDT in reply to: Get your questions answered by a KabU instructor. #284241Richard LivelyParticipantAlso what is the MeM-Beith? Its called the light of Mem-Beith. Is this the light of chocmah? My understanding is that it is the explanation of the the 42 names.
