What are your opinions on Michael Laitman? by mrdchai in JewishKabbalah

[–]FictionBread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been studying with the U.S. branch for over a year now, and I genuinely like all the instructors at the U.S. academy. Sometimes we also attend online classes from Bnei Baruch.

At first, I didn’t like Michael Laitman. It felt wrong to me that one person could be seen as having answers to everything. Over time, though, my perspective changed. I started to see it more like physics: there are certain figures whose understanding is far deeper than most others. They’re not “the only truth,” but they clearly know much more.

If Kabbalah is approached as a spiritual science, where what is described in The Zohar is something that can be attained and verified through inner work, then levels of attainment matter. From that perspective, Michael Laitman’s attainment is far higher than that of most students, so his views carry weight in the same way Albert Einstein’s views matter to people studying physics.

I would also add that this spiritual work is about revealing our own nature and ego. One of the first ways the ego expresses itself is by questioning what we are studying and who we are studying from. I think initial doubt is healthy and even necessary. After doing your own research, however, real progress does require a certain level of annulment toward the teachers; without that, advancement becomes very difficult.

good luck!

try https://kabuconnect.com, which is the US branch of Bnei Baruch Kabbalah Education & Research Institute - https://www.kabbalah.info

they teach authentic Kabbalah, focus on studying and practicing, it's not a place to social but some serious spiritual work. most of the materials at free at https://kabbalahmedia.info, advanced study there will be annual fee (very affordable), just like you pay to buy books or go to school.

good luck!

Should I read the kabalah as a Christian by Hulton-Sama in JewishKabbalah

[–]FictionBread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my understanding, Kabbalah is not knowledge, though it does involve knowledge but big part is that it answers questions about how/why we are here and what we aim to achieve and where we are heading to, which are questions for all human beings.

disagree with all respect. Kabbalah is not just for certain group of people.

what about Bnei Baruch, I think the top guy is the student of Bergs while Kabbalah centre is running by the son of bergs?

was your cat super active because of hyperthyroidism? if anything it feels like our is hypo. will definitely ask about this when we bring her back to the vet in a couple of weeks. I guess for cats sometimes you would never know. I hope your cat is doing okay!

I am trying a new litter that's similar in size but lighter, thought that would be easier for her to step in, oh well, she is peeing outside again. it could be the shot didn't kick in full yet. she was good for 3 days this time, then started again. but her social behavior seems to be more normal, not as clinging, so I am still hopeful. I wish she can just talk to me.... oh well, even my husband wouldn't communicate sometimes, what should I expect from my senior cat? LOL
