  • John,
    Every person has a unique emotional experience since each of us is unique and therefore we usually do not describe in great detail our inner states so that we don’t confuse others.  One person was raised by very strict, conservative parents, another with no parents at all.  One is a creative artist and the other is logical accountant.  Nevertheless, each one can come to the highest spiritual heights.
    Our goal is to come to discover the organizing, integral, managing force of love and bestowal that the kabbalists call the Creator.  That we will attain a perception that there is no place vacant from Him, everything is His thought, His action, this is what we want to discover in all of our senses, in all of our strength.  The Creator’s will is that we will recognize Him, know Him and know that there is no other force that does anything but Him.  It is all included in the Creator.

    Now we are going through the fundamental courses together.  This is a very important part of the study, to understand what is the matter of creation, what is the quality of creation, what is the quality of the Creator, what are the forces acting on me, what is my correct perception of reality, how can I interact with these forces correctly?
    Then after we stabilize ourselves in this new worldview, we then begin to work with others in our kabbalistic group on what you call day by day, continual inner work.
    It’s all ahead of you.

    Gabor,
    This material takes a little bit of time to work on us.
    It is not that we just hear an answer and then that’s the end of the story.
    The kabbalists are guiding us and it is up to us to work to fulfill what they are showing us.
    Maybe I give a gift to someone but in my heart I feel envy and hatred.
    Maybe I give a gift to someone and in my heart is overflowing love.
    Maybe I drive to work and I think only of myself.
    Maybe I drive to work and while I do I thinking and praying for the good of others.
    We will learn about this more in the future.

    Elena,
    How many 100s of generations came before you.  People giving birth to other people each with their qualities and from what regions, what foods they ate, the amount of sunlight they got, luck they may or may not have had with health and earning a living, how many life lessons, how many festivals, how many celebrations and funerals and endless details until you were born and inherited all of that.
    And you didn’t chose your city of birth or your teachers or what to be fed or what songs were sung in your house and what books were read to you as a child.
    So you were formed from material that you didn’t chose and educated with ideas you didn’t chose and all of this formed you into who you are today, so it’s clear that there is not much we can be held responsible for.
    In this world, of course there are customs and laws and what is legal in one country maybe a crime in another country.  So what does any of this have to do with the Creator.
    We will learn slowly and methodically how to discover the system that we are in and that all of the experiences that we go through are in order to build in us a correct yearning, a correct desire for the Creator and in the end we will discover that we are just revealing what already exists.

    M,
    What distinguishes the wisdom of kabbalah that we study from other books is that we only study books from sages who attained the spiritual degrees.
    How did they discover it, what led them to discover it?  Some of this we can start to understand and other parts, when we discover it on ourselves we will understand because it is the same ladder of degrees.  When we reach the degree called Abraham, we will see what “Abraham” saw, we will see and feel what is on the degree called Abraham, etc.
    To attain means to actually perceive as if holding it in one’s hand.  So this is what we are engaged in.  So a person should not blindly believe when he comes here, but also he needs to invest, so if one feels that there is something here worthwhile to engage in, then a person needs to follow what the books tell us above our own feelings and we will start to reach what the authors write to us.
    It is like an amateur pilot who flies alongside a pro pilot.  As long as the pro tells the amateur what buttons to push, what levers to pull, the plane will fly.

    Sarah,
    We did not attain this yet, so for now, we are learning about the laws of nature.
    It’s as if someone tells you that there is WiFi in the room but you can’t see it, you just believe it and can work with the results of it, you can connect to the internet.

    So for now, you don’t see or feel or attain that there is none else besides Him, we barely understand what it means.
    So do not get too confused with all of this.
    We still need to live in this world but as we do so we are learning about these forces that are unseen in the meantime.
    But you are correct that all of our work will be to reveal the Creator’s guidance over all of reality.
    Seth@KabU

    Paula,
    You can speak to the Creator all the time about whatever you want.
    The organizing force of nature responds to our desires.
