After the lesson about the revelation of evil I had a revelation about evil. Is it the fuel (dark matter) for the “rocketship” of the soul? We burn it to take us higher?
Rav shalom,
We have learned about the “VARIOUS DEGREES OF JACOB,Esau, Abraham etc,
In Kabbalah what do the Degrees of the” Sons of Aaron” mean? & the priest line?
Thank you!
Dear Rav,
1 -Since some time I feel hate within myself. It is not towards anyone or anything special, although a person or a situation can reveal it in me. It´s simply a sensation of hate that is revealed inside.
To handle it I go to sleep after reading a text, having a good sensation, and I do take hold of this newly revealed hate within me, looking at it and then grabbing the right forces to make a correction. With this new intention I go to study and it seems to work, but still there is more coming up. Also parts of my surrounding starts revealing hate and I watch the sensations coming up within myself and work with them.
But I feel week to, as I´m not controlling the situation around me as before.
I feel much more vunerable now.
Please do answer me if these things are correct experiances on our path, and if I have the correct attitude to them, handling things correctly!
2 -I also have some nights when I am asleep and when it seems as if I am awake, aware to some degree.
Please answer me if this is a natural situation on the path or not!
I need to know.
I am very upset and angry with God. I have bipolar disorder and a lot of anxiety and panic attacks and I don’t understand why God is doing this to me. I don’t see any benefit of what this does…it is ruining my life and others’ lives around me. I feel like cursing the Creator 24/7! What should I do?????
Dear Rav,
As a woman studying Kabbalah for several years, should I try keep intention during the Zohar lesson? It happens that many times I listen to the lessons while multitasking, however lately especially with Zohar lessons, I feel that I cannot fully concentrate. What can you suggest?
Best Regards,
If The Zohar covers the entire system of creation from top to bottom are there parts of the Zohar which refer to worlds that are not immediately above me? I am afraid that sometimes I am reading a part of the Zohar that may not concern me as of yet so I am afraid that I shouldn’t seek the light there because I won’t understand certain parts yet. If this is true then are there parts of the Zohar which refer strictly to the first stages of the ascent which we should seek the light from first?
Hello Rav Laitman!
I am a new student and am really enjoying the information Kabbalah has brought me. I have been studying myself and my connection by way of meditation for twenty years. When I first heard about the point in the heart I knew I had this from childhood.
I have been working with the idea of equivalence of form and correction through the upper light. I realized that I could apply/ to make a change here it has to come from above/ where equivalence of form applies/so if anything “negative” comes into my life it is because I have a piece of that in me that needs to be corrected/ so when I feel this negativity I call down the light of correction and it is corrected.
I have applied this for only a few weeks and already the lights are shining in me.
I feel lighter and more relaxed. I want to share this with other Kabbalists but they seem to think you have to be an expert before you have anything worthwhile to share. How can I share my discoveries and gratefulness for my new-found joy and freedom?
Thank you : )

Dear Rav,
I’m a non Jews and I’ve heard about kabbalah since 5 yrs ago. I’ve downloaded so many articles and reading materials regards with kabbalah such as Shamati, The Bahir, Tomer Devorah, The Path of Kabbalah etc. Last years, with all my efforts, i bought a few book from amazon.com such as Sefer Yetzirah: in theory and practical translated by Aryeh Kaplan, Moses Cordovero’s introduction to the kabbalah: annotated translation of his O Ne’erav,The Tree of Life (Palace of Adam Kadmon): Chayim Vital introduction to the kabbalah of Isaac Luria, The Zohar: annotation to the Ashlag commentary, The Thirteen Petalled Rose by Adin Steinsaltz, Window of the Soul: the kabbalah of Rabbi Isaac Luria and few others supplementary reading book regards with kabbalah. Most of the soft copies and all the books i have read and my question is: Are those books and soft copies with me is the authentic material for me to study kabbalah?
Thank you
Hello Rav Laitman,
Every time I study the daily lessons with the friends, I enter this inner and outer trance as if I am not sitting in front of a computer filled with intentions somewhere else. Is this a good state?
Dear Mr Laitman,
Is there emotion in The Creator?
Kind regards,
René Hermes
Question : I have heard that the veils are both lifting and thinning. What does this really mean for us?
Hi.
I’m following the free winter Kabbalist course.
I don’t mean to be brutal, but I’m aking this out of curiosity and I guess will to receive too.
Are you in contact with the creator?
Are you able to enjoy what you are teaching or are you teaching something like buddhist who aim to nirvana but do not reach it in this lifetime.
Sorry for the brutality.
Best regards
Through the study of kabbalah, i have re-awakened the connections inside of me to every single element of nature. With the study of the ten sefirot i can quantify and logically dissect many things tha lay hidden from my grasp. My question is: Is it valid if I’m building an illusionary world around me, even if its a false program to arrive one day with utmost intention to the true spiritual perception? Or can such an approach lead to to cataclysmic perceptions from which i will turn myself into a hermit and be bound to my reality by shackles? please help.
Good morning Mr Laitman.
I heard from a friend who is studying Kabbalah too that there is a list of 600 desires that a person might have.
I am wondering if this list is published anywhere or if you have it as it will help me a great deal. I am finding that I can not always define my desired in order to fulfill them and move forward.
Thank you
Galina
Could you please explain exactly what is meant by the middle line?
What do we need to do to walk on the middle line?
Thank you

Sincerly an awaken soul
You said that, “The Messiah comes when you’re not paying attention”. Can you please explain?
Thank you
For me to absorb the desire for Spirituality that a Woman has, do I have to have some sort of interaction with a female person who studies Kabbalah? How does a Male properly absorb the desire for Spirituality from a Woman?
It scares me a lot to think of the day when you will die. It was very hard, sad, and terrifying (for me) listening to the third part of the lesson for March 2, 2010. It was a painful and sad feeling, I felt very alone and nervous thinking of that day. VERY nervous.
At what age is it appropriate to read kabbalah?
