I want to study the structure of the upper worlds, can you please recommend which text i should start with? In the past i have read randomly but now I am ready for a more methodical and deliberate approach.

Here I’ve compiled a list of texts.

kabbalahmedia.info/en/sources/h3FdlLJY — Introduction to the Preface to the Wisdom of Kabbalah
kabbalahmedia.info/en/sources/kB3eD83I — Preface to the Wisdom of Kabbalah
kabbalahmedia.info/en/sources/Q8331iRZ — Explanation of the Article, “Preface to the Wisdom of Kabbalah” – Rabash
kabuconnect.com/blog/vod/jul-12-2022-pticha-lesson-1/ — Pitcha lesson 1 with Seth
kabbalahmedia.info/en/sources/OqZMFGHu — Introduction to The Study of the Ten Sefirot
kabbalahmedia.info/en/sources/7scSATcZ — TALMUD ESER SEFIROT (The Study of the Ten Sefirot)

Thank you for your time Gianni! I’ve contacted the support team.

Thank you Gianni. How can i message you directly?

I apologize for this follow block of questions, I could not wait to ask and I did not know where else would be appropriate to turn.

What is the difference between psychologically repressing anger, and rising above reason, above what faults I see in the friends? What do i do when feeling utter disgust after a meeting with the ten? This is the first time I have felt such intense hatred toward my ten and I’m suffering a great deal of cognitive dissonance as i try to justify the situation. How can I love the friends when my state is so tarnished?

Lesson 3 homework assignment:

To “make myself a Rav” is to make a relationship to our primary teacher. We sculpt our understanding and feelings toward him in a way that (hopefully) leads us in the right direction. To make a Rav is to look toward this master with respect and diligently try to absorb what he has to give. “To make” implies a building of something, a process, and a certain type of free choice. Even when I wrestle with myself I ought to consider the teacher’s offerings as medicine.

My impression of Dr Laitman after watching this clip is that he truly believes in what he practices. Not just believes like a story, but believes like he’s felt it, like this path has changed him somehow.  All i see is a man trying his best in this world to play his part in our system, and who is profoundly caring for people.

I’ve been thinking about evolution, and how the levels of complexity often give rise to emergent properties greater than the sum of the parts. For example, two hydrogen and one oxygen atom combined together make and emerge as the substance water, or how individual cells in an animal work together to enable breathing or digestion. If you focused on just one cell, however, you would not see that it functions in a lung or stomach, you would not even comprehend it’s role within the emergent system.

My question is can spirituality be considered an emergent property of psychology?

So there is not any one part of psychology that would explain or give a true perspective of spirituality…
If this is correct then would it mean that by working with spirituality you would experience accelerated psychological development?
