  • John,
    It sounds like you already found your salvation with no complication, no sidesteps and no confusion.
    So what more do you want?

    Vania,
    This is the correct question.
    Think of how many grandparents and great grandparents participated in making you.  How their genes, experiences and traits formed you into who you are.  You didn’t have any control over that.  Yet we feel so free.
    We’ll discover that we are in a closed system and all of our free will is agreeing with the perfect, whole, integral, loving system that we are in.
    This isn’t an answer that can enter the ear, this is felt in the heart after much exertion and time.
    We’ll get there.

    Andreanne,
    Yes, certainly.  Like a new child when she finally recognizes her mom.  Until then, she is more or less unconscious of her mom, she is attached to her, and dependent on her for everything, but then one day, she looks at her mom and smiles and it fills mom with such joy.  But what did the little, helpless infant do, except look up and acknowledge the upper one.

    Regarding your second question, I see you found one of Rav’s articles.  That’s great.  You can google “Laitman blog [any topic]” search for any topic you are interested in.  Rav has published extensively and I’m sure you’ll find wonderful material.

    MK,

    They attained these degrees.  If you go to New York City, and go to Time Square, you will be able to describe what you see, what you smell, what you hear.
    So if you go to the world of Atzilut, you will feel what is there.
    The kabbalists wrote their books to us so that we can follow the steps that they took to reach these things.
    The problem is that we try to use our egoistic minds to guide us to the goal, when we would be much more successful and we would shorten the path if we could take their mind above our own and follow what they tell us.
    We’ll try together.

    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.
    Seth@KabU
