Hello! Can someone please share some advice for how to attend the virtual retreat? My situation is that the retreat occurs through the night (i live in NZ and the retreat is held in the Netherlands) and the dates coincide with the beginning of my university’s exam period. There are very compelling reasons for why to a) attend and b) to not, and i feel torn. I can imagine a situation where i force a circadian rhythm flip and somehow manage to keep my health in order to do well in the exams AND be present at the retreat, if only for half of it, but it will be extremely difficult. What would you do if you were me?
Sometimes I feel a sensation in my body that is followed by a thought that says “this is the friend”, like it came from outside of me. What is the correct way to interpret this? At what level is there truth in such occurrences? What is the important part to focus on here? How can i know for sure, and how do it test this?
As an aside: If there is any detail that can be described by the study of the worlds and the ten sephirot that is relevant to my question please can you include this or flag terms i can investigate because I want to learn more about this system and how to apply it. Thank you!
“125 degree”; is the number here referring to a quality rather than a literal quantity of steps? How was this number derived? and how or what can i follow along with (like the proof to an equation) to better relate to/ understand the meaning behind this phrase?
p.s. thank you for your hard work, I seriously appreciate your effort and care toward us.
What might you recommend i say to my partner if he wants to know about the meetings i attend? (with the Ten, KabU lessons, lessons with Rav Laitman). He does not know what Kabbalah is. What factors are most important to work with in such a situation?
Is the gate of tears neccesarily something i feel as sadness or grief, or can it be frustration and anger? Like how a child can be frustrated at not understanding a situation or how to progress, and at this point she reaches a point of pure request and not before. Are there other gates i should be reading about?
I have found that prayer and asking for help happens differently with each cycle, yet through it all i am continuously pushed to search and experience what the Creator provides.
