Carlos,
In this course we have provided dozens of pages of texts and hours of video content.
While you are free to explore any of the writings of Baal HaSulam (Yehudah Ashlag), we strongly recommend that you go through all of the course material with us step by step. If you read everything and watched everything from this course, pick what you enjoyed the most and re-read it or re-watch it and make notes in a notebook or in a document. After that, if you still have time and are hungry for more, review the rest of the materials for the semester.
It is difficult to understand and takes time to understand, but we don’t receive spiritual attainment through our mind, but through our emotions. To that end, we need to prepare a vessel in us in order to feel what the kabbalists are writing to us.
Good luck,
Seth@KabUFrancisco,
You described what is happening very accurately.
If you have a child, then this explanation will be clear as day. A child does not sit in a classroom to learn how to speak and how to walk, etc. A child is placed among the upper ones and then through that influence, all of the forces that are in the lower one are awakened and the lower one develops.
What happens in our world is a branch of the spiritual root.
You couldn’t ask you two year old to describe how she is learning to speak, but she does.We do though as adults have a mind. While it is not the mind or any wise one who reaches spirituality, in order to prevent us from becoming blind religious adherents, it is good to take notes and use our mind. Warning, not to get stuck in the mind because after all this is a wisdom of the heart, but the mind sorts things and organizes things and that is important.
For example, you are learning that creation is a will to receive pleasure. So examine yourself, examine life around you, can you prove that? You should be able to see that you don’t lift a finger unless you feel that you will gain more pleasure from lifting it than if you left it there resting, etc.In short, you sound like you are on the right path.
Get a little more comfortable with being confused. Imagine if your baby could verbalize her feelings when you are teaching her to walk and you move away from her. That’s pretty frightening, but we know that she will start to walk and from there the sky is the limit.
Seth@KabUTobias,
Kabbalah means “receive”. The wisdom of kabbalah is the wisdom of how to receive.
This is exactly what we are learning.
The purpose of creation is to fill the creature with fulfillment.
So, we have to receive!
But in our small vessels we cannot receive endless fulfillment.
So, we have the “correction of creation”. That is our work now, to draw light to us that will correct our vessels so that we can receive 1% to bestow and then 2%, all the way to 100%.
Seth@KabUAsher,
You can go to http://www.kabbalahmedia.info and find all of Talmud Eser Sefirot.
There you can find the entire structure of the upper worlds.
We will only confuse ourselves and everyone else here to discuss things that have zero connection to the work at hand.
Seth@KabUAsher,
All of the students go through a similar preparation period.
Kabbalah Revealed 1, Kabbalah Revealed 2, Kabbalah Experience, Kabbalah in ActionThen you will join the Graduate Environment and the Young Group and there you will join a 10 with other students who have gone through preparation with you.
Seth@KabUJoseph,
You found a good place because we work in two lines here.
You’ll learn about that probably in a few months, but you have some preparation in it.
This goes back to your contradictions question too.
We came to this society to rise above the animate degree to the spiritual degree.
Nevertheless we live in this animal world (as it appears to us) with food, family, work, etc.
Here is some advice. Push pause on covering this corporeal world with a blanket of spirituality and meaning. You are putting a whole “spiritual” story on top of everything that is happening.
Start with the first step.
1. Live in this world, take care of your loved ones, pay the mortgage or the rent. Be healthy, considerate, etc. meaning don’t interpret every corporeal thing through your spiritual lens because this is in infinite, intricate system and you cannot account for everything, so let the Creator do His job perfectly well and you just participate in what He prepared on the animate degree.
2. And also now we are learning what the kabbalists are writing to us about the spiritual world. So let’s start to go on a journey with them and see what they have in store for us and we will slowly slowly build a new spiritual perception based on what they attained and passed to us.
And if after several months this approach is not working, so you tried, close your KabU account and move on.
If however it is working, then note that and carry on.
Seth@KabU
