I wish you all the Creator’s blessing in your spiritual quests, connection, and attainment of the mutual desire.

Hi, so everything Kabbalah is speaking to is at the level of internal feelings and thoughts? As things open up, that’s where attainment is perceived unmistakably? In terms of a root, this is a sort of feeling?

[Ilya]

At which point we’ll no longer be your instructors, but rather friends, equals on the path, working together towards our common spiritual goal.

I look forward to the day.

To clarify, at least at the time of  the video, Rav Laitman responds that the crossing of the barrier happens in a worldwide group, all together. I guess some time has passed since then, there are more people studying now, are they awaiting another “critical mass” or does it happen by some other measure that varies person to person or group to group. I may be misunderstanding as I’m thinking in terms of time/space, feel free to direct me to future lessons if this is covered more there.

[Ilya]

I’ll keep in mind that these are covered more in future lessons, but it sounds like the three things to balance are:

1) The individual’s correction through study
2) Studying with the intention of building desire for the Creator, rather than scholarly understanding
3) Connecting with others

In the “related” section, in the “Ask the Kabbalist” clip, the first question was from someone asking about crossing the barrier and whether it happens individually, as a group, and how long. Rav Laitman’s answer was that nowadays it takes a group, in fact the worldwide group, and at the same time. Also, that it can’t be said how long, but he thinks a year or two. I presume this clip is from some years ago. How have things worked out? What has experience shown since then? Is it expected that there would be another worldwide wave? Or is it expected that groups studying together progress according to some other quality? Thanks and just trying to understand what to expect.

I’m just becoming more aware that there’s a law of nature, it’s pure good, it’s developing us, and any pain and suffering is simply a reflection of how our egoistic nature is the opposite of its altruistic nature. The more we correct ourselves, the closer we get to truth. But, understanding seems like the easy part.
