WE NEED THIS WISDOM NOW.

A Brief History of KabbalahThe wisdom of Kabbalah has been passed down to us byAbraham, Moses, and the other patriarchs and matriarchs of TheBible, and by the great kabbalists of history, including Rav ShimonBar Yochai and Rav Isaac Luria. Indeed, one of the most importantaspects of Kabbalah is the passing of its teachings from master tostudent over many generations — and today it is Rav Berg who car-ries on the legacy of Kabbalah by bringing its wisdom to the world.

For millennia, Kabbalah was suppressed by those who didn’t under-stand it, and even the ancient kabbalistic sages chose to keep theirknowledge hidden. These great kabbalists realized that the timewas not yet right to make this wisdom available to humanity in gen-eral. Meanwhile, intolerance and fear caused those in power tocriminalize the study of Kabbalah and to persecute those whodared to undertake it. But throughout this long era of repression,kabbalists always understood that a very different time was coming-- a time in which the world would at last be prepared to receiveKabbalah, and free to do so as well. A crucial milestone in a new era was reached in 1922, when The Kabbalah Centre wasestablished in Jerusalem by one of the greatest kabbalists of the20th century, Rav Ashlag.

The ZoharIn simplest terms, The Zohar is a commentary on The Bible, struc-tured as conversations among a group of friends, scholars, andspiritual masters. But the reality and power of The Zohar far tran-scend the limits of the physical world. Zohar is a Aramaic wordmeaning “splendor” or “scintillation” — and The Zohar is literally anunlimited resource of brilliant spiritual Light.

“All truth passes through three stages.First, it is ridiculed.Second, it is violently opposed.Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.”

— Arthur Schopenhauer




We are the authors of our own movie.

We all can benefit from this wisdom.

Kabbalah is :

1. About uniting people and connecting to a higher power.

2. About having incredible meaning, purpose, and direction.

3. About removing pain and suffering.

4. Technology for the soul; technology for life.

5. The key to understanding the secrets of the universe.

6. A universal wisdom that predates all religion.

7. The wisdom that answers the age-old question,“Why are we here?”

Kabbalah is not :

1. A religion.

2. Cultish or mystical.

3. A fad.

4. About fixing broken stuff

Universal Law: There is no coercion.

You must choose your own path!

The 5.17 meter (17 ft)marble statue portrays theBiblical King David at themoment that he decides to dobattle with Goliath. It came tosymbolise the FlorentineRepublic, an independent city-state threatened on all sidesby more powerful rival states.This interpretation was also

encouraged by the original setting of the sculpture outside the Palazzo della Signoria, the seat of civic government in Florence. The completed sculpture wasunveiled on 8 September, 1504.

“Happiness is an effect of being the cause

You can have it all.

How deep is your commitment to get what you really want?

FOCUS on: (1) what you want; (2) how you will get there; (3) how you will battle the challenges along the way.

The essence of fulfillment is pure sharing.

When you focus on what you are receiving, you lose fulfillment. Focus instead on what you cangive another person.



w w w . 7 2 . c o m

We Al l Have the Desire:

1. To Receive

2. To Share

L i tmus test for true fu l f i l lment

When people are truly fulfilled, they want to share with others. And when you are naturally sharing, you are fulfilled.


[ Exercise ]Look back at Lesson One Light-Work, what is the nature of yourdesires? Are you focused on receiving for yourself alone or areyou focused on sharing?

Will your desires serve you in the moment or for eternity?

Everyone has wanted something for the wrong reasons;most people just don’t realize it until it is taken away.

There is no point in being the richest man in the cemetery. If you are not good enough without it, you will never be goodenough with it. Who you are in the world is not what you have; it is the sum total of what you have done.

In life, we choose fulfillment.

People have different levels of desirethat define what it will take to get there.

Although temporary fulfillment feels good in the moment, itwill never serve you long-term. Set your sights even higher, andask yourself, “What will bring me long-term, lasting fulfillment?”

All you need is really just a breath away.

Who would not want more in life?

temporary vs long-term

Self Greater good

Moment Eternity

Business Inner Peace

Vengeance Forgiveness

Cheating Learning

Achievement What I overcome

Material Soul


“Kabbalah gives us the tools to stay connected to the

Creator's Light, and we accomplish this by drawing out the Light that is already within us.

— Yehuda Berg

”



The types of desires we have direct the level of fulfillment we manifest in our lives.


[ L ight -Work ]Write about the difference between temporary and lasting fulfillment. What does this mean to you?

What desires do you have that will give you lasting fulfillment?

Describe how you will get yourself to do the work that will lead to lasting fulfillment, and how you will benefit spirituallyfrom your actions.

It’s not about coping with life, it’s about creating it.

Ike the mail carrier lived in a small town in the Midwest. He and his wife Cathy had only one child, a sonnamed David. When David turned seven years old he was stricken with a mysterious illness. With eachpassing day, the young boy grew weaker. Ike drove hundreds of miles to visit countless doctors but to noavail. Cathy could see in her baby boy's eyes that time was running out. She could sense the angel ofdeath hovering over his bedroom. Little David desperately needed a miracle. It so happened that a wiseold man lived in the same town as the mail carrier. He was not a doctor, but local people came to him withailments that resisted a cure; it was rumored that he could talk to angels and perform all kinds of miraclesand wonders. Ike's last option was to pay a visit to the old sage. When he learned of young David'sheartrending situation, the wise man was greatly saddened. Ike begged him to do something in the way ofprayer and blessings. The healer took Ike's hand in his, and promised to do the best he could. That nightthe old mystic ascended high into the spirit world, utilizing secret prayers and other worldly meditationsknown only to a few. When he reached the gates of heaven he was stunned to find that the gates werelocked. The fate of the little boy had already been sealed.

The night soon passed and the morning sun began to rise in the eastern sky over this quaint Midwesterntown. Ike and the old sage met outside the post office in the early morning. Sorrowfully, the old man toldthe mail carrier the news. “I'm afraid there is nothing I can do”, the sage said. “It has already been decreedthat the gates of heaven remain locked to your only son.” Ike was shattered. Tears began streaming downhis face as he begged the old man to try one more time. “I have nowhere else to turn!” cried Ike. “David ismy only son, my only child. And you are my only hope!” Not having the heart to say no to this broken man,the old mystic replied, “I cannot promise anything. But I will make one more attempt.” And that's when abizarre idea suddenly occurred to him. He quickly summoned his young assistant, Thomas, and made apeculiar request. “Please go at once to the city,” the mystic said, “and bring to me ten hardened criminals.No less than ten.”

Thomas was shocked. But he knew better than to question the man who could talk to angels. “Find mepickpockets, burglars, looters, the worst scoundrels possible,” the old man added. “And please, hurry!”Thomas drove into the city and, to his surprise, he was able to gather together ten thieves quite quickly. Infact, he was amazed at how easily they agreed to accompany him to the home of his master. Even thesevillains had heard of the mysterious healer in the not-so-distant town who possessed supernatural powers.

Thomas and this sordid band arrived at the house of the mystic. The wise old sage thanked them for com-ing and invited them all into his home. Some of the nastiest criminals in the state sat around his livingroom, boastfully recounting their favorite crime stories.

Then the old man motioned for them to be silent. Something about him commanded their respect. Sothey all listened carefully as the mysterious old sage who could perform miracles, the healer who couldcure the most dreadful ailments, asked each one of these wily thieves to assist him in what would be hismost difficult, most impossible miracle of all! The next morning, at the break of dawn, as robins chirpedand roosters crowed, as a sweet-scented summer breeze blew ever so gently, Ike the mail carrier wasdancing wildly down Main Street, looking like the happiest man on earth. A car pulled up alongside thedancing Ike. Thomas was at the wheel. In the back seat was the old sage. “My dear friend,” he exclaimed,“It appears by your delightful face and your dancing shoes that you have good news to share.”

“I thank you with all my heart!” cried the mail carrier. “My beautiful boy David received a miracle overnight.It's as though he was never sick. He is out milking the cows right now, doing chores as we speak!”“Indeed, this is very good news,” said the man who could talk to angels. “Be well, my friend!” The old sagethen drove off. Thomas was puzzled. He turned to his mentor in the back seat. “How can this be?” heasked him. “You're a gifted healer. But those men I brought to you yesterday…they were burglars, safe-crackers, and muggers. Thieves. Why did you not ask for God-fearing, upstanding citizens? Why did youpray with such shady characters?”

And this is what the noble and kind sage told him: “When I prayed that first night for our friend and his onlyson, I saw that the Gates of Heaven were locked. There was nothing I could do. The poor man's heart wasshattered. How could I refuse him when he pleaded with me to try again? Then a thought came to me. SoI asked you to bring me that assortment of villains, which you did. Then last night I prayed again, but thegates of heaven were still locked.”

Thomas was confused. “So what happened?” the driver asked. “How did you cure Ike's son if the gatesremained locked?” The mystic then cracked a smile that bespoke great wisdom. “Ahhh, but this time I hada band of thieves to assist me.” He replied. “You see, Thomas, a good thief knows all about breaking andentering. They picked the locks! These criminals broke into heaven and that is how my prayers were ableto sneak into the heavenly sanctuary.” The car continued on into the small town the sage called home. Itwas still early, but the streets were coming to life. And if you knew where to look you would have seen anumber of professional criminals, intermingled among the honest townspeople, suddenly stop and dis-creetly tip their hats to the healer's car as it passed by.

This simple story is actually a profound metaphor that contains the greatest formula in the world to gettingall of your prayers answered:

The Formula:The mystic in this story symbolizes our own soul, all of our positive character traits.The thieves represent all of our negative and egocentric traits. After all, we are all thieves, to one degreeor another.Our good nature and endearing qualities will not arouse the answers to our prayers. Rather, it's ourmischievous, dishonest attributes that provide the master keys to heaven. When we identify and workto transform our self-centered qualities and crooked characteristics, the key turns and the gatesunlock. Blessings and good fortune are now free to rain down upon us.

Universal Principle: For every Cause there is an Effect.

People often seek spirituality when their life has been shattered; when we are living as an Effect and wonder about our life’s purpose. When we choose, we step out of the program we are born into, and start to become the Cause.

“Creation can be likened to a picture puzzle that hasbeen disassembled. Our purpose is to reassemblethe puzzle, so that we too, can be considered co-creators of the world. Each time we effect a spiritualtransformation of our nature -- choosing good overevil, sharing over receiving -- we connect a piece ofthe puzzle.”

— Baal Shem Tov




What will you choose in the moment—a challenge or an opportunity?

You must take responsibility.

The difference between people is how much desire they havewithin them. Those with a bigger desire will draw in more. Those with a smaller desire are more easily satisfied. One is not better thananother. The greater the need to receive, the greater the need torestrict the potential for greed.

To be the Cause is to have choice. Choice is the funnel we canuse to channel the Light of the Universe. It means that you alwaystake responsibility for your actions. Nothing happens to you; youcreate everything that is around you, good or bad, at some level.You may not even be aware of everything that you create.Sometimes, you may even create tough experiences just to grow.

In contrast, it is easy to get caught up in “tip of the iceberg” prob-lems without seeking to understand the choice that created the chal-lenge beneath it.

If we are not causing, we are blaming and are thus being the Effect.

You are like a Vessel. All the energy of theuniverse is available to you. You just needto open yourself to the Light to focus yourefforts and receive what you desire.

Anything we do not choose to do is a reaction.To react is to ignore the principle of Cause & Effect.

Ask: “Why is this in my movie?”

Expand your radar. Things happen around us that are meant asmessages to us. When you notice these signals, you make changesmore quickly. Every obstacle has a specific purpose for us, andthere is Light concealed in every challenge. If you react to the challenge, you miss the opportunity of revealing that Light.

Things are not always what they seem.

The Cause is never an external event or person.

The greater the challenge, the more Light that is brought in.When something happens, ask yourself, what lesson am I learning?What is the benefit of this? Since the universe is always conspiringin your favor, nothing is accidentally placed in your path. Even if it is not apparent right away, the benefits of your experience will show up over time. You just need to have faith and ask yourself theright questions to stay connected to the Light of new knowledgeand growth.

Proactivity is the antithesis of reactive behavior. Just by asking yourself questions that make you look beneath thesurface, you are embracing a more proactive lifestyle.

When you react, you are in total discord. Life goes up and down sofast, you lose your intuition and natural strength to learn and grow.

When you are in the flow, life seems almost too easy. In fact, some-times we think that things are going so well it won’t last.Consequently, we sabotage ourselves and knock ourselves out ofthis fluid state—we think that life is too good to be true and start toask disempowering questions. In doing so, we shut ourselves offfrom the spiritual plane of the 99 Percent world.

Did you know?Regeneration is the ability to restore lost or damaged tissues,organs or limbs. It is common in invertebrates but far more limitedin most vertebrates. Nevertheless, even humans are capable ofsome degree of regeneration. Humans can regenerate finger tips(distal to the last joint). It can occur throughout the human lifetime,but it is generally best in young children. The human liver alsoretains its ability to regenerate throughout a person's lifetime. Othertissues, such as the epidermis, blood vessels and peripheralnerves also regenerate under many conditions. Regeneration ofsome tissues, such as the epidermis, is related to the fact thatthese tissues are continuously being replaced throughout life.Aside from being used to generally describe any number of specifichealing processes, regeneration also is a specific method of heal-ing that is noted for its ability to regrow lost limbs, severed nerveconnections, and other wounds. If the processes behind regenera-tion are fully understood, it is believed this would lead to bettertreatment for individuals with nerve injuries (such as those resultingfrom a broken back or a polio infection), missing limbs, and/ordamaged or destroyed organs. Regeneration of a lost limb occursin two major steps, first de-differentiation of adult cells into a stemcell state similar to embryonic cells and second, development ofthese cells into new tissue more or less the same way it developedthe first time. Some animals like planarians instead keep clusters ofnon-differentiated cells within their bodies, which migrate to theparts of the body that need healing.This article is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License.

Your Garbage, Your G i f t

“It may surprise you to learn that a positiveoutcome to this journey is guaranteed.— Michael Berg





When was the last time you looked under your hood?

Our Light hides behind our Garbage.The more we look at our Garbage, the more Light that can be revealed.

You have come to this world to transform something.

Denial is our reaction to direct Light.

Tikkun/Garbage is anything that keeps us from spiritual growthand from our real path. It is what makes up our personal correction.We do a good job of hiding our Garbage. The first way to begin realizing our Garbage is to ask ourselves how we are triggered.

Thus, in order to grow, it is important that our buttons get pushed.The universe was meant to push our buttons so that we could realize what in us needs to change so that these buttons will not get pushed. This helps us find the garbage to transform it.

If our buttons were not getting pushed, we would not knowwhat to fix.

Did you know?C.J. Jung’s "The Shadow"The shadow is an unconscious complex that is defined as the diametricalopposite of the conscious self, the ego. The shadow represents unknownattributes and qualities of the ego. There are constructive and destructivetypes of shadow. On the destructive side, it often represents everythingthat the conscious person does not wish to acknowledge within them-selves. For instance, someone who identifies as being kind has a shadowthat is harsh or unkind. Conversely, an individual who is brutal has a kindshadow. The shadow of persons who are convinced that they are uglyappears to be beautiful. On the constructive side, the shadow may repre-sent hidden positive influences. Jung emphasized the importance of beingaware of shadow material and incorporating it into conscious awareness,lest one project these attributes onto others. The shadow in dreams isoften represented by dark figures of the same gender as the dreamer.

We don’t become who we need to be by doing the things we are naturally good at.

To reach our extraordinary potential in life, we are givenopportunities to turn our Garbage into Light. This is not neces-sarily easy or enjoyable, but it is what we came here to do and howwe reach ultimate fulfillment.

The Johari Window

1. What we know.

2. What we don’t know.

3. What we don’t know, we don’t know.

How do you know what your garbage is?

“A more developed person recognizes evil much better and forces the evil out of himself.”

— Rav Ashlag




The universe is working with us to help us transform to the next level.

If our buttons were not getting pushed, we would not knowwhat to fix, and if we had nothing to fix, we wouldn’t be here.

Look for patterns that keep showing up in your life.The first step is to admit that you have Garbage and to start to lookfor it. If you search, but do not notice any Garbage, ask a trustedfriend if they have noticed a pattern of the same type of challengesthat keep showing up for you.

The patterns are easy to identify if you are willing to look for them.

Core Issues are lessons (i.e. Tikkun/Garbage) that keep showingup again and again. This will continue until you learn from them. For some people, this will show up as a blind spot. To really get to a core issue, you must unpeel years of Garbage, which will takeeffort and time.

People Leave Th is World for Two Reasons:

1. They have done what they came here to accomplish.

2. They cannot make the corrections they came here to make.

“Spiritual fulfillment cannot be a gift. We must earn it; we must work for it.”

— Michael Berg




Don’t ignore your Garbage.

If you choose to ignore your Garbage, it can take on manydifferent forms, all of which are driven by and feed your Ego.You may then set yourself up to fail and/or sabotage your ownopportunities in other ways.

To really get to a core issue takes effort and time, but the end is not the point. You will find fulfillment just by pursuing thejourney. When we are on a path toward Light, the Light comes tous. Conversely, if we are on a path toward darkness, darknesscomes to us.

“Become a spiritual dumpster diver in your own garbage can, and enjoy the process!”

“Our sages say that he who prays for hisneighbor is answered first.— Rav Brandwein



16S E S S I O N S I X T E E N


The change is relative to the individual.You have to have the strength to be weak.

You must uncover what you don’t want to see.This is where your Gifts will find you.

Doing what is easy is not the point!

So what is transformation, really? How do we get to the core?And once we get there, how do we change our inner nature?

The only way to get to your core issues is to start handlingGarbage and making corrections. Put yourself in a place to getthere. STRETCH yourself. When you go to your darkest place andconquer it, you grow immensely. That doesn’t mean that you must master it to bring in Light. By simply putting yourself in that situation and working through your own emotional/ego challenges,you grow spiritually.

It is easy to become comfortable with darkness and what youdon’t know. It might seem easier just to leave the truth uncovered.You can choose to hide from the truth in the darkness of your Ego.

Remember, the goal is not to become proficient or even com-petent at what you are fearful of doing. However the goal is toface it over and over again until it is no longer an issue. Don’t worryabout the result. Focus on putting yourself in your fears.

You cannot compare your paths to others.What is challengingfor one person may be easy for another. Discomfort is relative to the individual.

Let go of the fear of being uncomfortable. Fear is anything thatblocks you from reaching your true potential. It is generated by ourEgo (Opponent), and it is a way for our Ego to own us.

The term Light is merely a code word, a metaphor offered bythe ancient Kabbalists to convey the broad spectrum of fulfill-ment for which human beings long. Before time began, therewas an infinite force of Energy. This force reached as far as forever.It filled eternity. It expanded into infinity. There were no conceptssuch as time, space, or motion because, according to Kabbalah,this boundless Energy was the only reality. There was nothing else.

The Energy had one nature, a single will, which was to: share end-lessly, impart continuously, give ceaselessly, and bestow eternally.The nature of this Energy was to share its very essence.

The essence and substance of this Energy was infinite fulfillment,boundless joy, and limitless enlightenment. The Energy is made ofall possible forms of pleasure.

Consciousness is Light.Energy was all there was before Life.

They married andmoved to Los Angeles, where Otto's career as a movie director took off.He soon became rich and famous, and they became one of Hollywood'smost admired couples. But the stress of life in the fast lane took its toll onMarion. She battled addictions to alcohol and drugs and became notori-ous for her affairs. When Otto finally divorced Marion, her life collapsedcompletely. She made three unsuccessful suicide attempts. Finally, she leftCalifornia and returned to Vienna. There she met Albert Schweitzer, thelegendary medical doctor, musician, philosopher, theologian, and mission-ary. He was home on leave from his hospital in Africa. Schweitzer fascinat-ed Marion. During the remainder of his European visit, she spent every daywith him. When it came time for Schweitzer to return to Africa, she beggedhim to allow her to accompany him, and he agreed. She spent the rest ofher life in the Lambarene Hospital in Gabon, emptying bedpans, changingbandages, and bathing lepers. In her autobiography, All I Want isEverything, Marion wrote: “Albert Schweitzer says there are two kinds ofpeople. There are the helpers, and the non-helpers. I thank God Heallowed me to become a helper, and in helping, I found everything.”

To fulfill its giving nature, the infinite force of Energy createda Receiver. The nature of the Vessel was an infinite Desire toReceive. In other words, for every kind of fulfillment and joy theEnergy radiated forth, there was a corresponding Desire to Receiveby the Vessel. Because this energy force embodied an infinite vari-ety of fulfillment, the Vessel consisted of infinite Desires to Receive.

Stop Taking from Others

“There is no Light that appears in theworlds that is not enclosed in a vessel. — Rav Ashlag





Hurting someone with ill-intended thoughts, judgment, or jealousy resonates energetically in the same way as physically hurting that person. However, you also hurt your own spirit with just as much intensity when you project thosethoughts upon others.

Judgment comes from our underlying need to be in controland/or feel significant.

We all have conscious judgment. This is what we choose tobelieve. However, most of us are not as aware of our unconsciousjudgment. We are conditioned by our experiences and our environ-ment, and this can only be shifted if one creates new experiencesand associations with the people to whom we unconsciously linkcertain character traits.

The Evil Eye is the code for envy, negative feelings and thoughtsaccording to Kabbalah. The energy of The Evil Eye is ever presentaround us and something to which we are all subjected.

“There is so much good in the worst of us and so much bad in the best of us that it ill behooves any of us to find fault with others.”

— Karen Berg

“ Kabbalists use a Red String as protection against The EvilEye. Color signifies the energy of judgment and negativity.By wearing the Red String, a person receives a vaccineagainst evil energy.”

— Yehuda Berg




You must also work to be aware of and to stop your own Evil Eye. When you notice yourself judging, force yourself toreverse your judgment and send positive energy to the individual.These are the same principles used in peace talks and negotiationsaround the world. Until you shift your thinking so that others areseen in the best possible light, you will perpetuate the negativevibration of the Evil Eye.

Note: If you hear yourself making conscious verbal commentsabout others, imagine what is happening at an unconscious, energetic level.

For many of us, the person we judge the most is ourselves.As a result, we feel the pain associated with our thoughts both consciously and unconsciously. Be an observer and champion of personal growth instead. When people feel threatened, they go into their shell and/or they build walls. In other words, they go to their Ego for protection. Thinking that the Ego will keep you safeis an illusion.

“By logic as yet unfathomable, when we witness a tragedy,in some way we are responsible for it.”

— Baal Shem Tov

Envy stems from self-judgment.

When you look at others, know there is a bigger picture.

The stories we create about others come from the five senses and are an illusion.




In the most dominant religions around the world, one principle is the same.

Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would like them to do unto you.


1. Understand and recognize that the reason you areunhappy is because you are blocked and not whereyou want to be.

2. Begin to change the way you show up.
