Blitz Of Kabbalah Tips – 3/5/17, Part 1

laitman_961.2Question: Is it possible to correlate the structure of the soul with the structure of our body? If so, how?

Answer: Absolutely not. A soul is a soul and a body is a body. We don’t need to imagine our corporeal body as something that is eternal and perfect. It is the ordinary animate level. And the soul is the next level above the animate level.

Question: What is the creation and how are we related to it?

Answer: We are parts of creation. Our role is to begin to consciously react to what is happening to us.

Question: What is a Partzuf?

Answer: The word “Partzuf” means “face” in Hebrew. The Partzuf or the face are called the ten Sefirot, which illuminate when they are properly selected and assembled.

Question: Are the Sefirot filters?

Answer: A Sefira is a filter of the upper Light. What is left in it after it filters the Light turns into our feelings.

Question: Is Malchut the original matter?

Answer: The original matter is the desire in Keter, which develops all the way to the very last state in Malchut.

Question: Is a point and a line of a letter the same as zero and one, a certain code, a program?

Answer: A point is a desire and a line is its direction.

Why Are We Afraid To Part With Life

Laitman_198.jpgQuestion: Why is it terrible for people to end their lives early, even if it is in continuous suffering?

Answer: Because this is a natural, instinctive desire of man to exist in any form. So it’s laid in us by nature in accordance with the upper system.

The fact is that our lives in the animal (material) body does not make any sense if we do not develop it during it and do not move to the next stage—into a spiritual state. Then we simply end our material existence.

Our Reshimot (informational basis of the spiritual essence) passes from one body to another.

The material body of man refers to the animal level. With it there is no transformation, except like animals. And what is called the point in the heart—a spiritual Reshimo or information record from the highest level, must be implemented. It is eternal. Therefore, we must reach the level of its realization during this life. The science of Kabbalah explains exactly this.

It says that by the end of the sixth millennium or, perhaps even earlier, all people must reach the highest level as an outcome.

That animal state in which we now exist on our small planet will disappear from our sensation, and with it the material world will disappear because it exists only in our imagination. And we will already be in a new dimension on a new level at which the spiritual Reshimo will be self-realized.

But because today we feel our animal life as the only existing one, we have a serious sense of fear: “What will happen to us? What’s going on, why do we die?”

I have met Kabbalists in my life that existed in the sensation of both worlds, and interestingly, their perception of the world was completely different. They absolutely did not suffer from the fact that they must die, and they knew beforehand that they were dying.

My teacher Rabash explained this very simply: “As in the evening you take off your dirty shirt and throw it into the wash, the same feeling is created when you finish this life.”

You remain in the upper world, which you discovered in this life, and therefore nothing leaves you. You simply part with your little animal part, which once existed and which constantly bored you, and now you must feed your “animal,” then wash it, then put it to bed, etc.

But as soon as you began to comprehend the upper world, the most important thing for you was its feeling: how to expand it, how to diversify, and how to raise it. This you continue to do.

The person who studies Kabbalah must attain the sensation of the highest degree. In our time, everyone can do it. And then we will no longer have any fear of parting with our animal body.

A Person Is The Enemy Of His Personal Time

laitman_739Question: When is time a person’s enemy?

Answer: Time is not a person’s enemy; the person is the enemy of his own time.

Within a person is a device through which he determines time from zero to infinity at any speed. Time is variable. Even physicists say this, but just not in our coordinates.

The wisdom of Kabbalah differs from quantum physics and other exact sciences in that it brings a person into a space where he is outside of time, where he can change himself in his own axes of freedom. But to do this, it is necessary to acquire tools (Kelim), other senses of perception.

Why Is The Soul Made Of Ten Sefirot?

laitman_610_1Question: Why is the soul made of or does it have to be made of ten Sefirot?

Answer: Because according to the physical spreading of the Light unto the desire, there cannot be a complete action if the Light does not go through the ten Sefirot and does not attain the last tenth Sefira, the tenth.

In it the Light finds the desire that is right for it, which means the right attribute that catches the Light and receives it inside.

When Does Freedom Of Choice Begin?

laitman_232.06Question: How is it possible to speak about freedom of choice with people who are not aware that their ego is managed by the Creator? Is freedom of choice acquired the first time a person opens a book about the wisdom of Kabbalah?

Answer: When a person just begins to learn the wisdom of Kabbalah, he still does not have any freedom of choice.

Freedom of choice appears only after a number of years of study when a person gets the opportunity to perceive the upper Light, to attract it to him, to be found in the two lines—right and left—and to manage them like a rider manages a horse with two reins. A person then acquires true freedom of choice.

Freedom of choice comes to be expressed in the middle part of Tifferet, in the middle line. A person who studies the wisdom of Kabbalah must work on himself for a number of years in order to attain freedom of choice.

Following Kabbalists’ Advice

Laitman_165Question: What does “principle” mean in spirituality? Is it a law? And what will happen if I don’t follow a certain principle?

Answer: All the principles that we have from the wishes and advice of Kabbalists are intended only to help us focus ourselves correctly on the feeling of the upper world. Therefore, if we follow their advice, we will begin to perceive and to attain the upper world, which is the main thing and everything else is up to you.

Many Kabbalah students are stubborn and don’t want to change anything internally. They don’t want to change their paradigm of the perception of the world. Therefore, keep running into a wall when studying this wisdom and cannot do anything.

Question: I understand what will happen in our world if I ignore the law of gravity, but what will happen if I don’t keep or follow a law or a principle that is in The Book of Zohar?

Answer: If you don’t keep a law of the upper world, you will not feel it.

Question: Is this the worst thing that can happen?

Answer: It can be much worse because our entire development in this world is aimed at pushing us to further development: to the perception of the upper world. If we don’t do this, we will develop by terribly painful afflictions.

Convention: Direction And Inclination To Connection

laitman_938_02Question: How should we behave during a convention in order to maximize the time in the convention?

Answer: You should simply forget about yourself and constantly be part of the general unity in order to feel the nucleus of the common connection, the common thought, and the common desire.

Question: Who are you targeting at the convention, the newcomers or the veteran students?

Answer: No one. I am guided by the connection between people.

We shouldn’t study difficult material during a convention. A convention isn’t about studying but about unity. This is the reason that the study material should be totally accessible to everyone, including what I say and what needs to be done. Everyone will receive according to his level—according to the individual spiritual states one is in.
