Kabbalah Online Lesson - Take Control of Your Life

right so before we even start I would like to share before you introduce ourselves we'll do that in a moment but I'd like to share a quick experiment with you and ask you a question so I did an experiment they took someone they took a human being a person and they connected up their brain to electro electrodes and they wanted to measure activity and perception so basically what they found and this is interesting they found that every second the brain is exposed to 400 billion bytes of information every second now my question to you and I would appreciate it if you would answer this question in the chat is out of these 400 billion bytes of information that our brain is exposed to every single second how many of these bytes is our brain able to interpret to understand to comprehend in other words there is something outside 400 billion bytes of information and we're at the end of the day able to see some picture of reality so how many bytes out of this 400 billion does that brain know how to a do decoded how to understand how to translate how to comprehend so we would love you to write your answers in the chat and because we have probably a few second delay until you're hearing this question all already go ahead and tell you the answer and the answer is very very surprising it is this mm that's it mm and if you want to put it into a percentage then we can do that at zero point zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero five percent we didn't have some close guesses I gotta say we had yeah well they came after he said the answer but no it's probably just because of the delay so less than one percent we had we had not many that was another estimation a thousand so you guys are pretty nice so it's zero so it's this amount in percentages that's the amount of reality that we can perceive everybody misses zero there so really it's nothing so in other words what does this mean it means that there is some kind of reality out there there's something huge infinite unlimited and then there's us and we perceive this tiny thin thin thin almost almost 0 layer of reality that's what we perceive as our world as our lives as a syrette surroundings that's it so we're kind of locked into our limitations which are our senses that enable us only to perceive this tiny nothing percent of reality and that's how we live our lives not knowing what really is outside of us if there is anything what reality truly is we develop different devices we develop microscopes and telescopes and different infrared detectors and we we develop a whole range of devices but they still only can identify within this range of what we can interpret and what's beyond that range what would we know if we had a 6 cent we have no idea so welcome to the wisdom of Kabbalah which is the wisdom that teaches you how to unlock your perception so you are no longer limited by the senses that you currently have and it enables you to find a backdoor a hack to reality so that you'll no longer have a limited perception of reality but you'll have a whole full perception of reality so we're very excited to start the first lesson of this semester where we'll gradually explain and unravel how these process is done how we can expand our perception from this tiny in CBD nothingness perception - perception of a reality which is actually even way beyond this reality so it's even beyond this four hundred billion it is much more Kabbalah says that this reality itself is just a dot compared to what there really is out there so we really are excited to start this semester it's gonna be packed with with amazing and really interesting topics such as freedom of choice do we even have it or are we just driven by everything that's kind of evolved and pushed us like our environment like our parents like our education we're gonna touch upon topics like what is the desire how is it formed we're gonna attach upon a really a wide range of really interesting things and that that these things all lead to expanding our perception not in a psychological way but actually developing an additional sense a hack to reality you know the best thing about this course is that you can ask questions right here right now live and we're live you can test it you can write a question in and you'll see that we'll read it so this is not a recording and hello to all the new students that have joined us yes so maybe I'll introduce ourselves sure my name is asif i'm studying kabbalah and teaching kabbalah for well over ten years and it's always an exciting thing to open a new semester and I think maybe gradually you know we'll get to get it get to know each other even more and more maybe sooner any jazz sure I'm married I have two children my academic background is in sociology and communications and that's that's that's good that's a good stat so this seemed kind of a picture of a sign also if you like kerim creating creating a midi artist creating all kinds of videos a lot of them are inspired by the wisdom of Kabbalah and we can talk about it and you have a lesson to get interactive so I'm glad in studying kabbalah for about 10 years been teaching as well for a good few years I'm also married I have actually four kids I have three boys and recently I have a baby girl as well yes and I work in the field of education and technology and that's that's a good stat for now so you more or less know us right I'm glad that's a surf thanks moderator for clearing it dad which one of us is on the left all right so let's get going into our listener okay so if you have any questions feel free to write them in the chat we'll respond to them and today we're gonna talk about what is the wisdom of Kabbalah okay ready I think any questions before we start let's go let's go okay so before we begin I mean let's already begin I know I add a new page here all right so let's just start with a question why why are you here seriously what made you come and click that enroll to the course link D there was a something specific that happened to you that made you want to enroll to the course when it's a series that are events maybe it's this deep sensation that the wisdom of Kabbalah has answers to what you're searching for maybe it's just interest you know curiosity yeah let's see what this is all about but this question of why can be asked about anything why you born where you're born why were your parents your parents why were you educated the way you were and if you really start to think about it then you see that these questions they shaped your life they shaped who you are they shaped your choices in life even because every choice you make is a result of an accumulation of every single thing you've been exposed to before that right if you went through something as a child that will drive your decisions as an adult if you were educated in a certain environment again that will drive your behavior as an as an adult where we all have our DNA it's it's been shown by research that if you have a tendency for theft and if you're in an environment that it's theft then you have no choice but to become a thief so why why are we where we are why these things around us as they are and this question of why leads us to ask do we even have independence in the reality we live in can we do anything about it can we change these things if everything that's around us is kind of a sequence a result of something that came before it and if you even you know zoom back and you look not at your lives that way but if you look at all of reality that way how all reality evolved how the you know from the beginning of time all the development is basically a chain reaction so really is it is there any independence here or is it just a simple natural system that works according to a few laws and just like if you take a seed and plant it in the ground then you can already determine how will develop based on the quality of the sea based on the soil based on how much Sun and water it will get so this brings us back to the question again why can we control our lives can we do anything about it can we change all of these things so the answer is no well and yes but let's start with a note so let's start and understand where we are so we're here in what we call this world that's where we're at and in this world well you know what it's this world there's you there's your family there's your house is your job there's everything everything you know in this world the beautiful isn't it so what is this world this world is actually a world of results what do I mean just look at your computer screen for example your computer screen is a world of results there are certain mechanisms that are taking place in the background it can either be this video you're watching or the keyboard you're pressing or they're mass you're moving and what you see on the screen is a result if you want to change what's on the screen then you don't go to the screen itself and try and move it around but you go to behind the scenes of the screen which is activated through a few mechanisms such as your mouse your keyboard and the likes and by that you can manipulate the result that you see on the screen it's similar to like come out it's a call and embroidery and embroidery right so you look at an embroidery and you see this beautiful picture you know with all with these woolen strings and you see everything is clear and you see it formed but really again when you see an embroidery all you're looking at is a result so if this is a result what is the cause so Cibola says that there is something that's called the spiritual world and spirituality according to the wisdom of Kabbalah we'll get to that more more about that soon but spirituality is not what is commonly perceived it's not this psychological or philosophical thing but it's something scientific and tangible that a person cannot only imagine what it is and think about it psychologically but that one can practically attain it just as tangible as you can attain matcher around you you can sense it you can smell it or if it's edible you can taste it and so on that's what spirituality is some that tangible but we'll get a little bit more about what that is later on in the lesson today so this is spirituality this is a spiritual world that's what I was gonna write and the spiritual world is a world of causes meaning forget about the name spiritual world this world just imagine it as the world of causes and the world of results so every single thing that happens in this world is a result of something of the force of something that maybe is currently unknown to us of what it is so to manipulate this world to change anything in this world you can act here but really when you're acting here you're not really changing anything even though sometimes it seems like we have control over our lives we can change things on this level that's also a result of this system that it gives us sometimes the illusion that we're in control otherwise we wouldn't be able to live if we didn't feel that we have any control over our lives but in many cases we lose that sense of control and things happen and we don't know to explain why they happened and we may be to ask me to other people if you were looking at atrophied atrocities that are happening around the world and we understand how this can happen and how we can let this happen and how humanity can let this happen but again wisdom of Kabbalah says all of this is a world of results and if you want to change yourself your life your the world you live in then you can't do it directly you can't act in the world of results you have to start with where it comes from just like that embroidery if you look at that beautiful picture but you want to understand how it really is structured the only thing you have to do is turn it around and then behind you conceal the connections you see all the strings how they attach and it's this huge mess on the one hand on the other hand it's Claire you can follow exactly what string leads to the other and how it influences and what the connections are and if you want to pull something out then you turn it around and you work from there you work from behind the scenes of the system just like a computer something's not working you can go to the program either through some interface that enables you to interact with it or as a programmer through the code and that is always how you can change the outcome by changing the result so that is what the reason of couple that teaches us how to do it teaches us that's actually just a different angle of what we spoke about before right about this experiment here we can just have a look at the screen right so here we just spoke about this limited perception that doesn't let us hack into reality as it really is and here we're talking about something very similar from a different angle that same reality that we live in is just a limitation and end the result of what is truly out there and in order to learn how to change our lives how to change out how to really gain control over your lives how to be the masters of your fate so Ko'olau says you need to tap in to something that is up here and if you can do that if you learn how to do that then you can influence everything that happens down there so do we have any questions until here about that well I don't see questions yet but definitely I see that our students came up with all kinds of reasons for why they came to this course and it says that's quite interesting maybe yeah we had the some said we have it we had a quite a spectrum from my wife made me to desire for a spiritual growth and a bunch of stuff in between you know it's interesting reasons yeah it's interesting that we actually once in a while we do a quiz on our Facebook page I'm come a lot of info and asked people what they think a lot is and it's interesting to see that 60 percent in our last survey said that Eliza science 23% said mysticisms and then we had 1% 1% 1% of people who said it's all kinds of different things like fortune-telling and religion and meditation and a bunch of actually myths there are myths about cavasso it's interesting to see that most people today at least from those we asked those who participated do consider Kabbalah a science and really this is a very close definition to what it is it is a science but it's a new kind of science this is a different kind of science and we'll get more into that there right and actually it's quite surprising because I was under the impression that most people think about other things but the fact that that a vast majority thought it was it understand that carmelized science that's like 60% mm-hmm that's that that's great because Kabbalah is a science and we'll get in a few moments we'll get to what the reason of a couple I use both and that's a little bit more so you have questions about that you can already ride them now that's great and are there any more maybe impressions fact if you have anything then we'll actually appreciate if you write it in yeah because right now we're looking and not at students like we look at when we teach classes physically but we're looking at two cameras and a screen we see ourselves and sometimes we have the illusion that we're just talking to ourselves and so this check box is really important for us it's like a gateway to understanding that there are actual students behind exactly and how are they receiving the lesson and what are they feeling and thinking as they're getting it and so your questions are important your impressions are important just you know we're trying to kind of stay on the topic together and then we can really delve into it deeper and deeper so here's the first question I see already it's great that you are responding fast guys so Kara from Pennsylvania in care is asking is cupola really a new science I thought it has been around for many years okay it's a good place to to explain it maybe I'll start with a few words well Cibola is actually you're right it's not new at all it's been around for almost 6,000 years actually five thousand seven hundred and seventy-eight years and so it's not a new science but it is not similar identical to the kind of sciences we know in this world I'll be the very brief reason why there's more and more of them that we'll understand exactly as we go throughout the course you see get I've mentioned before that in our world we have our senses through which we perceive reality and we can use microscopes and telescopes and we can use all kinds of tools to do what to basically change the range expand the range of our senses we can see more so to speak with the telescope or with a microscope we can learn more about where at reality using whatever tools that we can in terms of our physical science however we don't engage in any change of ourselves in any development of ourselves taking back to the example that get out started with if we want to perceive more we have to learn how to expand our own perception not install over it some range expander which is that is essentially what science does on the other hand it's very very very similar to science because it also applies the scientific method in its in its practice meaning that Kabbalists they don't theorize that they don't philosophize they don't believe in things what they do is they discover phenomena and they repeat these discoveries and they write them down and that information gets collected and then gets repeated by other Kabbalists and there's an entire language that is built on their experiments and and if you want to experience the same things they experience you have to follow the same guidelines just like what is referred to as the scientific method I hope that answers your question right we're gonna talk about that a little more in a few minutes so if it's still unclear feel free to follow up with another question absolutely No Pennsylvania maybe we'll just keep on then to the next segment and then we'll do some questions all right so keep posting them in we'll get to them in about five to seven minutes but it's good that we already have a few then we can see what things are clear or unclear so basically we spoke about the facts just just until now we spoke about something a very simple concept we are in the world of results and there is a world of causes and if we want to take control over our lives if we want to really be able to change reality then we need to get hack into this world of causes that's what we need to do so that's what the reason look of a lot teaches us how to do but how do we do it so before we start to explain how we do it I want to tell you a short story so it goes like this there was a big ship and this big ships engine was this failed and the ship was carrying millions of dollars worth of trade and and products and the ship with its kind of last thrust was able to reach this tiny you know the shore of a tiny village and the ship was was it was stranded there the engine broke down and they were on the way for a delivery worth millions and they couldn't do it so they went in and they tried to find someone to repair their ship and they couldn't find anyone so they went deeper into the land and they and they found a small company that came to the ship to repair it but when they tried they said they don't know how to do it so they looked even more and they found a bigger company and they brought them in and it took him a few days to get there and they went in and they spend there a lot of time and they're tricking and this and that and they're going into the engines room and they say they can do it but they still don't fix it time goes by and they do this over and over again and days go by and weeks go by and they're stranded there and they have millions of dollars worth of products and they can't go and they're starting to get really really stressed until one day when they're already losing hope it's really really old man kind of it's you know walking like this holding his tiny little bag you know barely walking comes in and says to them I'll fix your shake say what you like yes I'll fix your shape mm you know with nothing to lose they let him on board they say all right go for it so he goes into the engine room and he starts walking around he starts you know touching and feeling and sensing and he spends a little bit of time there finally he takes out these tiny little hammer and he comes to this specific spot in and he goes bang and momentarily the engine just jumps back to life and everyone's celebrating and everyone's happy and they're hugging him except to eccentric cetera a good day for all and they take off and they ask him to send them a bill and he does send them a bill and this is the bill ten thousand dollars and then you know of course they pay him because they're very happy but they answer back and say you know do you mind breaking it down because we'd like to know what the $10,000 is for so he says no problem two dollars for tapping with a hammer nine thousand nine hundred and ninety eight dollars for knowing where to tap and that friends is exactly the point and the key to life knowing where to tap because most of the people are running around and trying to achieve things and they're in this rat race and they're chasing their own tail and they might be getting you know achievements even not always but even sometimes they are but it's still not making them happy they want a new job and they get it and then when they do then order satisfied you know that feeling right you want something new and you work a long time together and you finally get it and the second you have it what happens it's the pleasure starts melting away and it happens pretty quickly and then it's gone this happens with everything and actually an interesting research showed and this is really interesting it showed that our happiness levels so this is time this is happiness oops so this is our happiness and it did this research for a lot of different things for example they checked a person's happiness level when he when he was promoted so let's say his happiness levels was you know the usual ups and downs then he was promoted and then he was happy very happy for a while and then I went back down again to its usual happiness levels and they did this test again when a person for example got married so again there were regular happiness levels who got married there was this spark and then it went down again and they did this over and over again with many different things including winning multimillion-dollar prizes in the lottery and there actually it was interesting to see the happiness went down he's in further after after a certain amount of time but the trend is always the same we're chasing something we reach it we have this limited time of pleasure sometimes it's a little longer sometimes it's a little less but it's always very short and once that limited time of pleasure goes by we go back to our initial state which is this kind of either it's neutral or it's immediately setting a new goal that we can chase so that we can give our lives meaning or what we're seeing today is already becoming an epidemic its loss of faith in this system this system is broken it can't be that way it's not working and this understanding leads people to be depressed and that's why depression today is the number one epidemic in the world there are millions and millions of people who are just depressed - who feel already inside that this rat race is not going to give them anything and those that are lucky enough they find the reason for this rat race they find how to get out of it and they found them and they find the reason for their existence and hopefully you are those people so to understand where that place is that we need to hit let's explain a little bit more about what's in the spiritual world with that we spoke about but before we do there any more questions about what we've spoken about or are they more about general things which we'll also have time for as well by the way we have another 45 to an hour 45 minutes to an hour so we will get to general questions as well okay so we'll just continue this wave and then we'll get to some to some questions so again a reminder we're talking about this world and we're talking about you know let's call it results and causes it's clear okay so to understand where is that very same place we need to hit Lac that old man on the ship in order for our lives to improve in order to gain control in order to not waste a lot of energy imagine how much energy people are wasting heating in the wrong place and they don't he with a little hammer they bring a huge 20-pound hammer and they come and they carry it and they here everywhere are they all around the place and then getting nothing they're not getting what fulfillment they're not getting filled right because at the end of the day people want fulfillment they want to feel good they want to feel good from a lot of different things but most of people are in that rat race that they're constantly looking for a pleasure getting it the pleasure disappears and then they're doing it again it's a couple explains why we'll get to them in a second so let's first understand in order to know where is that place we have to hit we need to understand why the engines broken down why this world this system here that we live in is currently in a state that it's breaking down so let's have a look at the world of causes and let's explain a little bit about that world and what what goes on there so in this world of causes in a in a time that is beyond time in a place that is beyond space there was something that was created and it's called a collective soul or you can call it the soul of Adam Irish Sean and who wasn't created by well it was created by this force this law of the stole of giving of ultimate fulfillment and we'll get to that maybe a little bit later on but for now let's just say that it's forth of ultimate bestow all of infinity of take everything good and pleasurable you can imagine x by a trillion and that's only a dot of that same force some people call it God or the Creator or really the reason of Cibola the wisdom of cabal our points to the fact that it's not this may be like it's this picture that's given to children and it's this being that sits there with a long white beard no Wiz of Kabbalah explains that this is simply a force you can call it nature as well it's a force of nature it is the force of nature it's not an entity it's it's something it's an all-inclusive force think of a gravity gravity is a force no matter what you do it's everywhere and it includes everything so this same force that religions may be called creator and they're probably not referring to that same force we are because we're talking about a general inclusive law that created formed a collective soul and this collective soul was in perfect harmony with the force that created it and it was in perfect outer fulfillment so it wasn't these pleasures that come and disappear these fleeting pleasures but it was in like a womb in the embryo imagine that imagine what pleasure womb feels that it's inside the mother the place where it wants to be merged most that it gets its fulfillment before it even asks for its full all the time it's in this constant state of fulfillment it's never emptied it sounds good right so it was good but then something happened there was a shattering and the collective soul shattered and why did it shatter we're not going to go into that now we'll go into that in the later on lesson but today we just want to understand what is that point we have to hit on it right that same that same point like the old man with a little hammer so the collective soul shattered and what we see now in this world is a result of that a result of this shattering so this collective soul actually is a collection of all of humanity so we're all part of the same collective soul and today we feel ourselves all separated and alienated and separate from each other that's why on the one hand and this is we're all wrapped in this show called ego this ego it hides the fact from us that we're really all from a collective soul so we want to exploit each other and we don't care about others that aren't directly related to us maybe and a whole lot of things that are really an illusion because at the end of the day we all come from a collective soul so this shattering that took place puts us here in this world in an understanding that we're all separate we're in these separate boxes right and we like can't touch one another the other hand it's like built into the system that when we do come close we feel really good there's like this sense of closeness is nothing greater than being with good friends and even science shows that the number one factor of happiness is social connections so how's this related to heating on that same spot with a hammer it's very simple the result of this shattering led us to be in this world separate in this state we were in and by being separate than the state we were in that made us separate from this upper force that we were in complete perfection with meaning we went from a state of equivalence of form equal to let's call a nature for now Oh God our Creator or after force whatever you prefer so here we were equal to nature and in this world we're different or opposites you can say opposite to nature so what does that mean that means that the key to rising up from this world to a higher perception the key for taking the keys to the car and not driving it passively with taking control over it by having the ability to influence your faith your lives the key lies in that in changing something it was open up everything in the first lesson obviously there's a lot to learn but it's let's talk about this concept we need to change from being opposite to this force of nature to being equal to that force of nature that's it the second we become equal to this force we learn how to activate everything in this world we become the owners of the cause we can influence what happens here not directly from from down here no but from going above up here so to sum up the reason for this any suffering that a person has any tiniest NC binti sense of pain even if it's something silly like you wanted to take something out of your pocket and you took out something else and then you're frustrated everything every sense of pain every single no matter how you put it is simply a result of being opposite to nature opposite to the force to the creating force and as a result of that this happened through a shattering of the collective soul and so on but we're not gonna go into the details of that the main point here is that the reason of all that's bad in our world the reason why we see with our eyes Wars around us on all levels on the personal level on the communal level on the national level on the global level the reason for everything bad that we can feel or see is simply because we're different to that law we're different to that force and that's it so in order that place to tap on to to hit that tiny little place is one make yourselves similar to that law okay now you're asking how do we do that fine there alone there are more questions opening up that's absolutely good that that that's that's perfectly fine let's take it step by step let's understand the system let's see how it works so from now we said that we're in a world of causes everything in this world is a result and we said that we can't change anything directly we have to go up to that world and you said that everything in this world is nothing of what reality truly is and then we said okay how can we change that what do we need to do to change that we need to tap into something very very small and if we do that very very small specific thing then we can rise above from this level to a higher level of reality where we in control of the causes and we can take control of our lives and if we do that if we hit that very same point then we're masters of our fate we're masters of reality and what's that point very simple we're different from this upper force we're different from the creator you may call it and we need to be the same that's it okay so now to your next question so how can we be the same so to answer that question let's ask another question what is the wisdom of Kabbalah well happily the wisdom of Kabbalah is a wisdom that does exactly that the wisdom of Kabbalah let's maybe read what Rev Baruch Shalom ashlag who was one of the greatest Kabbalists of all times who answered that very same question he is the author of the commentary of the book of Zoar he wrote a collection of books including the study of the ten spirits which is commentary for the re and many many articles you may have heard of him if not you definitely will hear more and more about him and he says the following about what the wisdom of Kabbalah is so let's have a look at the presentation so you can see it on the screen and let's see what kabbalists do - Luke says he says the wisdom of Kabbalah is no more unless then a sequence of roots which hang down by way of cause and consequence by fixed determined rules interweaving to a single exalted goal described as the revelation of the Creator to his creatures in this world okay that was a that was big that was a lot of things there so basically he described the system that we spoke about in the beginning that it's a system of causes and consequences and he said that the revelation that the wisdom of Kabbalah is that then he says it's the revelation of the creator to the created beings in this world so what does that mean it basically is very simple its revelation in wisdom of Kabbalah means like I said before it's something you can attain if there any questions is pop in okay already getting to the West we love Kabbalah thing so it's a very simple revelation means you don't imagine it you're not a blind person trying to imagine what the color blue is no but you open your eyes and you see blue for yourself and no less that's revelation of the creator we'll get to that in a second so it's a revelation of the creator to the created beings who are the created beings they're us there are you so Kabbalah isn't for selected individuals but it's for any individual who wants to understand his system he wants to gain control over their lives anyone so the revelation of the upper force of the creator to the creative being that's you in this world in this world meaning it's not something that you get after you die it's not something that you get in some time or in some space or in some reality you can attain this here in this world and now by studying this wisdom that's what it does and what's the creator so the Creator is what we spent we spoke about it just just before so revelation of the Creator so it's basically reaching revelation of this same collective soul of the force that governs the system of the laws that in that control reality and that's the revelation of the creator and what does it mean to reveal the creator it basically means that you move from a limited perception to a broad perception it means that you are no longer limited by this broken mechanism that every pleasure that you receive immediately what happens to it it's emptied that's a limitation that we have only in this world and there's a reason for it and when you rise to spirituality when you become similar to that force then you actually are able to receive a pleasure infinitely because the that's the wisdom of Kabbalah actually Kabbalah in Hebrew what's right in Hebrew huh ah yeah that's a Kabbalah in Hebrew what does couple I mean do you know what Cibola means in Hebrew shattered out if you do even to the screen we appreciate it so Kabbalah means perception so the wisdom of Kabbalah is the wisdom of what how to receive so simple that's the wisdom of Kabbalah in simple words it's the wisdom of how to receive why would the wisdom of Kabbalah talk about how to receive something so you know selfish why doesn't it teach us how to give because the Cordon Bleu a Kabbalah that's all there is in reality that's the only thing that was created and that's the only thing that needs to be changed excuse me we have questions we have a bunch of questions and I think it'll be a great idea because it's also you know pretty much our first our first time to get to know each other so it will be very good to actually go through your questions and maybe even what we'll do is we'll try to go through most of them even provide really short like blitz type of answers so we can relate to everything you guys are saying and then we can maybe expand on a few thing right more related ok ok so I've been looking at what you guys are posting and first of all I want to say it's really really great well there these are just some of the questions Wow so it's great to see all this hustle and bustle under the chat it's really really great we want you to stay very alive in this class and just be be aware that we're here for this for like answering your questions and then Devlin delving deeper together into the wisdom of Kabbalah that's what this these live lessons are about so Greg and Jill from Pennsylvania for instance and others asked questions like this is there some connection between Kabbalah and astrology how does Kevlar relates to the ancient practice of alchemy there seems to be some overlap in concepts so the reason I'm grouping these two questions together is to say this in very short a lot of you who studied all kinds of methods ideas teachings will find all sorts of ideas that resonate and that remind you and that overlap with things that you're familiar with and that is actually something that tends to happen with the wisdom of Kabbalah because it's so fundamental it is so foundational don't even know how to put it in terms of how it describes reality that it's you will find many links and many connections to things you know over the course you'll understand exactly what the authentic wisdom of Kabbalah deals with and and then you'll see exactly its uniqueness and it'll take a few lessons until you identify exactly where it does overlap or sound similar to other things and where it's actually completely opposite and I can tell you from a lot of experience with the wisdom of Kabbalah that it has a unique end and trying all kinds of things before it's started standing the wisdom of Kabbalah is it has a very very unique approach to reality to everything that is in it that you just don't find anywhere else this the second reason is also you learn about the history of Kabbalah in the coming lessons and you'll see how a lot of ideas throughout time were Mis linked or misinterpreted as connected to Kabbalah so this is something you'll you'll just see as we go through the course Marty from Florida asking says this thank you for this course than when you're asking answers to question seeking question question answers the questions but isn't our reality what we're experiencing now in this world reality our consciousness perception pushed out or manifested into this world what is without actually comes from with not to add more than two sentences about it yes absolutely Kabbalah discusses our reality as a direct projection of our perception of reality we have an entire lesson for this which is fascinating number three yeah it's verse it's very close very close hey there next one of the one after that may yeah pretty much maybe it's next week right so it's perception of reality and it basically talks it expands that is that interesting research from the beginning then it expands a lot of that that in explains how he perceived reality what limits our perception what the structure of a perception is we said that were limited but but in the lesson about perception of reality we'll explain why we're limited what the software that runs our program and how we can expand it to really perceive the fuller reality so it's a great lesson Mae from Columbia what is the difference between the tree of knowledge and the Tree of Life heart and brain long story short you will learn that there is a very interesting connection that couple explains between what we feel in our life is bitter as sweet and what is actually true and false in relation to where we're headed in the grand scheme of things really interesting Daniel from Alaska says I'm here to learn techniques to experience oneness oneness of humanity access with the Creator consciousness is this the right place yes it is what God started discussing as the shattering and then eventually the reconnection of that collective soul is in a sense what the entire wisdom of Kabbalah is about we learn the science of it not just all kinds of ideas or that may sound familiar with things you like but this is actually what couples describe all of the spiritual worlds as they're called in Kabbalah are actually degrees of the attainment of that oneness with reality and the force that runs reality when we find unity among all the pieces of reality so we'll definitely discuss that all good from all good great that all is good with you we'd really like to if you want to also tell us your name and where you're from but if not that's fine do it all good yeah so what makes you so confident that decisions in the spiritual world are the correct decisions he had another question he or she if the world of causes the spiritual world was a wise place in the first place the mess which we were written seeing all over the world right now in the news as you see wouldn't have come to existence in the first place the first place don't you agree a short way to answer that let's do the short answer because the long answer is we have an entire lesson about that actually and even more than one actually even more than one there is a great question and it comes up a lot and in other words you're saying how could something so great like either we said the Creator or the spiritual world how could the result of that the consequence of that be something so terrible we see in this world so actually the answer to that lies in the perception of reality and the short answer maybe we'll bring up a lot of new questions but that's okay because everything new that we'll learn here will bring up more questions and we'll address those as well but basically reality is perfect there is nothing bad in reality and I'm not saying that so you can look around and see horrific things and say wow they're really not bad there for the good no what I'm saying is that the only thing that you can identify that there is anything horrific in this world is due to our disparity of form from that force and the closer we come to being similar to that force will begin to see reality not now we put on these nice pink glasses and look at reality from a positive you know side always look on the bright side of life not at all you'll begin to see that reality changes as your perception begins to change gradually until you correct your perception you'll see that reality is actually in fact perfect and everything you see outside of you is a projection of something inside so I know that brought up probably another a bunch of questions which is good as well but it's already it's the direction of the answer to that we had a question anyway there was another question there what make you feel confidence it's them all right yeah it's pretty much you answer the both of them from all good from all good so another one from Texas I get frustrated with people that are connected with incorrect versions of Kabbalah it's hard to address the the difference with them I don't want to be rude there because they're seeking truth what can I do to show them the true science I the reason I chose this comment slash question is because just to reflect to you guys that either it is true there are all kinds of ideas out there about what couple are is you some of you guys mentioned for instance red bracelets and how what's the way to use them so let me tell you this and in this we this is why we're here this is where we have the first lesson of Kabbalah authentic Kabbalah deals with one thing and that is the discovery of the force that governs reality and the system through which it becomes revealed just like one can I just explained in the terminology of Kabbalah how to achieve equivalence of form with the upper force that is what the wisdom of Kabbalah is for anything that says that Kabbalah is in order to you know do all kinds of external changes in life is it's not the purpose of the wisdom of Kabbalah now it's true that when you study the wisdom of Kabbalah you learn a whole other things as well you learn about how to behave in this world in all kinds of situations life situations with your life with your family with your spouse even how to conduct your life you will learn a lot about this world as well but it actually just saw that a lot of good things a lot of benefits yeah but but they come from the purpose of the wisdom of Kabbalah is actually the higher purpose that we that we just mentioned and so there are many kinds of versions that are not the authentic Kabbalah that tend to materialize and should I say corporeal eyes all kinds of terms in the wisdom of Kabbalah and all kinds of things that you will learn kinds of concepts of Kabbalah and then present them to people as though couple lists we're talking about external practices and here's the good thing here you don't need to do anything to change anything in your life in your the way you conduct yourself and how you what you dress what you eat how you speak whatever rituals you're used to doing Kabbalah has not even your religion about Islam says even your religion it has nothing to do with Kabbalah in and you will will get deeper into that and you can send questions about that and will definitely relate to that right on that point on that point because that's a question that we get a lot I have to change my life to have to start doing this start doing that the answer is absolutely not the wisdom of Kabbalah not only you don't need to change anything but it says don't change anything at least not in order to advance spiritually because that might be confusing you might think that yeah I'll do this and then I'll read spirituality no live your life in this world as you've been living it you want to change something to improve it go for it but the wisdom of Kabbalah does not require any action in this world because this world as we says is the world of consequences so wisdom of Kabbalah says fine whatever is happening here is fine even sometimes he will ask what about you know people who immoral can they study Kabbalah the answer is of course because they're immoral in this world and there are you know systems of the law that help that try at least to narrow that down or educational systems and so on and a systems deal on this level and the wisdom of Kabbalah does not deal with a level of this world at all why because it deals with what governs this world with a with a world of pauses and as a result you learn how to take control of everything in this world so does it influence your life in this world it influences it because you begin to really get control over your life you begin to understand how the mechanism works you begin to understand human desire and interactions with human beings he'll be able to understand your relationships with your with your spouse with your children with your boss and to better analyze them and to maybe make smarter decisions but that's a result already all right Daniel from Columbia I've read the Zohar and or understand how the interpretation of the Torah or the Torah in it fits into science great great comment you don't understand it because you don't understand what's called the language of the branches see that drawing that Gilad drew earlier with which he just referred to as well the the layer of the causes the causal layer of reality and the consequential layer of reality we live in the world of consequences and Kabbalah is talking about the world of causes first how to rise to it and then what it means and how to exist there and so forth and so you will learn later that all of the the Tala and all of the other scriptures that you're familiar with perhaps are actually written in a special language and once you understand that then you definitely see that it's not the way you thought about it before and you'll understand why we refer to Kabbalah as as a science so that learning that language or how it works at least is very important to that right and why is it a science because the science you can do is a series of actions and reach the same result the reason why Kabbalah says the same there's a series of actions that you can follow it's not imaginary it's not philosophical it's not imagined it do a series of actions learn a few things and you can reach the same results that couple us before that did and reached that's why it's a science any from New England is asking I'm curious about the relationship of what you will be teaching DeLorean in Kavala Isaac Luria Kabbalists Isaac Luria theory is a huge hugely important Kabbalists Tree of Life was written by the area Kabbalistic who - like bar esalaam of you know the text we just wrote before read before the quote the describes defines what is the wisdom of kala comes from bar esalaam but Aslam wrote thousands of pages worth of a book called the study of the dance without interpreting the Tree of Life of the re so it's part of the authentic sources of the wisdom of Kabbalah what we will mostly be engaged with is the writings of Kabbalist Bala Salaam and his son and successor kabbalists Valhalla who is the teacher there are Bosch the teacher of our teacher kabbalists dr. Michael Lightman who was actually the student and successor of their Abbas and so a bow that actually includes in it the commentary to the area live commentary - raspy only in a language that is really the one that's suitable for our generation because the Ariz texts were written 400 about 400 years ago so that's it that's in short - the relation is there a link the noid I hope I'm pronouncing it correctly from Paris is asking is there a link with the law of attraction so again like with the other questions about alchemy or astrology or all kinds of things over the course of this course you will learn what Cal is really talking about and you'll also learn why it seems to overlap with a lot of things because it's explains reality in such a fandom fundamental way Marty from Florida had another question concerning the shattering isn't that the shattering of the consciousness of that one soul Adam and we are a fragment of that soul until we become one again basically yes then that that's that's a very good understanding of what God explained earlier Gabrielle from New Mexico is asking we are currently the effect like the result right we must become the cause yes well we rise to the level of the causes and in that respect it's it's correct Carol from good class these are great questions and a great discernment actually before Carol there was another question from Ana , I guess from Texas is asking so if most people derive pleasure from being with other people what is wrong with introverts where they can't handle and deal with extreme anxiety when dealing with people good that you brought it up the kind of connection that Kabbalah talks about actually is way beyond how we speak to each other how we is socialized in parties and whether we're introverts or extroverts the kind of connection that we're talking about is a deep interconnection that can be experienced even without words and it doesn't matter whether you're an introvert or an extrovert and really doesn't matter any personal characteristic that you have it doesn't matter if you're if you have a high IQ or a low IQ doesn't matter if you're academic or not if you're young or old if you're male or female if you're Christian Jewish Muslim Buddhist what else it doesn't matter anything of the way that you your your your form is on the level of this world it does not matter at all because men are if you're an angry person or a smile or a calm laid-back person feel energized if you're relaxed it doesn't matter why because the wisdom of Kabbalah teaches how to rise up to the control-room of reality and therefore it does not relate to the results there that we see in this world and by the way each one of these of these character traits they're all specially unique for every person and a person has them for a reason and the wisdom of Kabbalah it helps a person actualize his true potential his true fate because this world sometimes a person thinks you know if they're shy then they have to overcome that and they and they need to really get out you know come out of their own character because of a couple actually says no there's a reason for every single character trait that you have and it's special and it's unique and not only that you shouldn't remove it but you should you should really got it why because when you do rise above to that higher level to the control room of reality then you start to find the correct to use for every single one of your qualities those that are good and even those that right now see maybe that are negative and is letting you down so that's just take into account all right so mm-hmm Sam from South Carolina asked since the ego hides the knowledge that we came from a collective soul can we turn can we in turn trick the ego or can we conceal things from the ego when we want to change a very very strong ego let's start from the ending of that we all have a natural intention and a natural nature that by which we're operated and driven and that's called human egoism you can call it that way and actually it's something that evolves over the course of the development of humanity and this is also part of the reason that we're seeing things in the world today the way they they seem to us because the human egoism is evolving on a global scale as well so first of all what we will learn in the wisdom of Kabbalah is that it's a natural force and that no one needs to try to you know force anything on themselves or that ego we actually don't even need to eliminate it or get rid of it well and that is a huge difference a huge difference between the wisdom of Kabbalah and many many kinds of methods and I'm talking Eastern teachings religions all kinds of methods that have to do with self mortifications this is actually a complete opposite to the complete opposite to what quebradas describes about the ego the ego is a natural force it's like gravity you try to go against it it's not going to work what you need to learn just like scientists learned when they finally engineer the plane that works is how to use gravity and other physical forces of physics without changing them because that's not going to work in order to fly that is what Kabbalah teaches you it teaches you how to use your ego use your natural force without restraining it one bit how to make that a drive of of development beyond the ego itself how we will learn that by developing something called an intention above our desires to to to fulfill ourselves we actually can use our nay in our nature in order to develop spiritually and we'll find that all of the even the the worst desires that man was created with when we undergo that spiritual correction and eventually the whole of human society will have to go that evolution it's a huge evolutionary process then we will see that all of the desires can morph into something that can benefit that collective soul so that's big that's a lot to expect but that's kind of to give you a vision of what's to come Helen from Holland asked we are all we're all creators aren't we we're pieces of one creature actually but that creature in its final form of development is in equivalence of form with the creator and so when we come together we as if become the creator so it's a bit more accurate but you're on the right track undress from well how can six hundred thousand pieces of the collective soul fit on seven billion people great point and rest guess it's been studying yeah and he didn't mention 600,000 exactly this says a soul has shattered and we can see that over here now so if you can show us the screen Adam Adam is this the collective soul and it's out that a guy here is assisting us so basically the 600,000 that Andres is referring to is over here and the reason why I didn't mention that is because it sometimes confuses us because 600,000 is not a quantitative number - qualitative number describes the quality or the shattering here and over here we're talking about 7 billion or 7 and a half billion or 8 billion people that this shattering and the shattered pieces of the collective soul have spread into so it's not 600,000 physical pieces that you can count one by one but it's a quality called 600,000 and it can end at this quality it spreads in the number of people proportionately so if you had 1 billion people or maybe a few hundreds of years ago or not so many actually then that same quality code six hundred thousand was divided into them accordingly if we'll grown will be eight or nine or ten then again that same quality of the shattering of the collective soul will spread proportionally all right what else so Marcella from Brazil does the wisdom of Kabbalah explain what happens to us after we die we lose our six senses is there a kind of transformation of those senses great question Marcella so the width of Kabbalah actually we didn't get into that now but it really is an interesting topic the wisdom of Kabbalah by this is already very filled in let's go back to the first illustration by rising up over here you actually and get by getting control over the world of causes you actually go beyond time and space and furthermore once you develop that tiny desire that you now have the spirituality and in couple eyes called we call it the point in the heart because in this heart of desires that we have for this world there is this tiny little point inside of us that feels that everything we see in this world is not the end of the story and then there is something higher than that and that the purpose of our lives is to be something great and to reach something higher and that point that actually that point actually comes from that same force it's a it's a godly part from above it's called it's a point that is equal to that to that spiritual force we spoke about you call the creative force of nature doesn't matter and why don't you begin to tap in to this world and it influences back what you actually change is this point begins to grow from a dot which has no volume no area no nothing it begins to grow to a vessel and that vessel is infinite and it's not limited by a physical body because it's not a physical being so your physical body can change meaning you can die but you yourself your being your essence is infinite and if you build that same vessel if you build that that spiritual vessel then you're really you're really not affected by life or death because life or death is a change in the corporeal world and you're already linked up to a much higher reality that builds a spiritual click Coble is called death in this world they call a life changing a so they take a one chair they put another that's what they call death because the SPOC that you have inside it's not a soul you don't have a soul yet it's always something you have to develop you have a dot the point of a soul and the wisdom of Cibola that develops that soul it makes it brings you to to infinity to to you you can say immortality because the mortality is does no longer refers to your physical body which you can change it refers to the infinite nosov what you've developed of the soul all right what we have here we have announcements as well the decides we're concluding in a few minutes we'll we'll get to that in a few minutes all right so there was also a question from Catherine from Venezuela about the term ensel so again maybe you've heard it before I think ethanol's wrote that she just had this this word in her mind and she doesn't remember where it came from or she woke up with it I just copied that part of the question to not lose it and self is actually an interesting word literally you can say it's infinity and it's the highest degree of the complete degree of reality that we come to perceive when we correct correct ourselves undergo that spiritual a hundred percent of that spiritual correction but if there's actually a more accurate description of that and so literally the correct translation means no end and what it means is there is no area in that will to receive that we just mentioned that in our desires that want to receive pleasure there's no area in them that stays unfulfilled all of our desires become fulfilled a hundred percent there is no area that has an end to the fulfillment that is what the Widom of wisdom of Kabbalah leads us to we will find on the way that in order to achieve that state we will have to install this new intention that puts us in equivalence of form with the force of the stole that guides and governs reality and all our desires will work in that direction but we will be endlessly fulfilled no end with fulfilled with no end that's what infinity really means in the wisdom of Kabbalah you'll discover that there are very specific accurate technical and empirical definitions to everything in the wisdom of Kabbalah nothing stays you know kind of like you know fluff or airy-fairy kind of thing it's very concrete it's very direct and and and it's a practical method that we will learn how to apply it's also based on first getting to know the concepts and the terminology and that's most of what this first semester is about but there is all the basics and the fundamentals are probably the most interesting part because they talk about all the different things they're really relevant to to our to our lives today so we have I start another question yeah I got a question from Helen he says so balance is key right and that I think was from Helen and that is correct balance is key right now the only reason we feel any form of pain is due to the state the fact that we're not in balance with this upper force there we're under the domination you can say of the ego which isn't good nor bad god bless says it's not a bad thing because that's what was created we need to reach prosperity to reach true fulfillment then it has to be balanced at and the reason and the way to balance that is according to the method of how to correctly receive in other words the the method to receive Ohama Cabella the wisdom of Kabbalah do we have any other maybe yeah we have our hello questions and maybe maybe talk a little bit about what's what's to come and the next lesson and so forth and in the meantime I'll break up a few announcements that we want to fill you in on and also send our technical guy Adam some slide that will be good to put it on so great so what's gonna happen so what's gonna happen so from now on everything's gonna change and I'm just kidding so from now on really the semester is really interesting we go a lot deeper into a lot of topics you spoke about today so like we said we talk about perception of reality as a whole lesson about that that explains how we the reality what's the mechanism that limits our perception we have a lesson about roots and branches that is really fascinating because it explains that all of the of the authentic writings by different Kabbalists and rabbis even the Bible which has a lot of nice stories in a right you know the story of Adam and Eve and then the story of Egypt and the Exodus and whatnot so the wisdom of Kabbalah is all of that is written in a cut in code language it's a code and in order to decode it you have to understand what the language is so that's an entire lesson about language of roots and branches and it's fascinating because every one of these words even words that are written there are seemingly clear to us excuse me then the wisdom of Kabbalah it teaches you how to truly understand all these stories that these stories are talking about spiritual development they're not talking about anything in this world they're not talking about a physical snake that came and spoke to Eve and said to her no it's talking about an internal developmental state that inside there is something called a snake and inside each and every one of us have an Eve and an Adam and this whole story of you know the story of Adam and Eve is actually is an internal story about spiritual development and actually all over the Bible and all the stories in it and the Talmud and whatnot and the prayer book they all and they all talk about internal matters so that's the lesson I'm really fascinating lesson about roots and branches and then one of my personal favorites is freedom of choice because every person in the world thinks he feels their freedom of choice and it's good otherwise they probably kill themselves but really if you just start to think about it logically where is our freedom of choice freedom of choice is if I offer you maybe you know to eat or to drink then what do you choose depends if you're hungry what you'd like to eat if you're thirsty you want to drink and if you're a both and you ask for both but is that a free choice or is it driven by your desire I think about it is your desire driving your choices is your desire you or is your desire may be something that's kind of closed on to you that's driving your desires when you really want to eat but you're afraid maybe to put on weight or if you really want to you know there are a lot of things that we do that we don't necessarily want to do so who's driving that who's driving these decisions and is everything that you do today is that a result of how you were educated of your DNA of the environment grew up in the school you went to so it's a really fascinating lesson and it in in a lot of it appoints that where we don't have freedom of choice which is in a lot of places where human beings think they do we actually don't but it also points out to where we do have freedom of choice and how to apply it and it also we continue about about the desire and how it works we like going for hours now but I think I think you have the the curriculum for the course take a look at it and definitely come next lesson and a few bless you announcements - to conclude our lesson today first of all a bunch of you guys in the beginning and even in the middle of the lesson asked about books and it is important to to have books definitely you will use more texts in the coming lessons and especially connecting with the sources it's very very important I have no time to elaborate on this time this right now is important couple of Oregon has a spiritual reason why it's important and has a great benefit couple of books dot info is the place to go some of you may be misunderstood and you went to the bookstore on the EC site and then you didn't find that that coupon for 4p who are studying in this semester so that's the place to go couple of books that info there's a coupon EC 15 off you're supposed to have that in your email and until January 15 you can use that and and get the package of books we'll discuss more about the books and what they mean in next lessons and we'll use more in the next lessons so definitely have that ready all right so now pon you can see it on screen it's all in uppercase Graci that's a 115 and so our lessons to make it clear our lessons are on Sundays and Thursdays 8 p.m. Eastern Time so just like today you have another lesson on Sunday at 8 p.m. and the lessons happen twice a week so your next lesson will be on Sunday that's January 8th ok so twice a week 8 p.m. Sunday Thursday when you're getting going to get the books even if you don't get the package make sure really that you get a couple off for the students this is the one that it's not a beginners book actually you can't just go into it on your on your own you can of course but you need some guidance in order to well interpret the text but this is something that will accompany you and be with you throughout your couple of studies we're studying with with Road Lightman everyday and we're using the same texts that are there it's really a compilation of the most important texts from the preeminent Kabbalists of the Kabbalists of the of the earlier century but as Lama and his son and success or the rubbish and so there's a Q&A forum which means that you you guys have a bunch of questions still unanswered we know that go to good questions to great questions go to the forum oppose them there's a good chance that you'll be able to get some answers between lessons even and if not then build up your desire and bring them to the next lesson absolutely so if you want to watch this lesson again or if you are not here right now then and for some reason you can't watch the lesson live which is the recommended option but if you can't for whatever reason then you will have on the archive tab which you can probably see on your screen right now if you minimize the video if you come out of full screen you will see it so if you go there about 24 hours after this lesson then you should have you should within 24 hours you should have a recording of each class so this is another thing you can you can use and that's it guys look if you have any kind of questions technical problems things that are unanswered for you in terms of like how to use this site or anything in general just email EC at couple of that info our team will be very happy and try to be as responsive as possible it's it's exciting it's great that we really exciting an aspirant it was very enjoyable for us we hope it was enjoyable and interesting for you and we hope to see you in the next lesson absolutely so we'll see you next time Sunday 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time there will be another team of instructors that you will meet and it will be great another great lesson so thank you guys and we'll see you soon bye
