There are two ways that people may reach the ultimate goal. They may reach it by their own personal efforts -- the way of transformation and responsibility; or should they not direct their attention to this matter, there is another way -the way of suffering.

A Brief History of Kabbalah The wisdom of Kabbalah has been passed down to us by Abraham, Moses, and the other patriarchs and matriarchs of The Bible, and by the great kabbalists of history, including Rav Shimon Bar Yochai and Rav Isaac Luria. Indeed, one of the most important aspects of Kabbalah is the passing of its teachings from master to student over many generations and today it is Rav Berg who carries on the legacy of Kabbalah by bringing its wisdom to the world. For millennia, Kabbalah was suppressed by those who didnt understand it, and even the ancient kabbalistic sages chose to keep their knowledge hidden. These great kabbalists realized that the time was not yet right to make this wisdom available to humanity in general. Meanwhile, intolerance and fear caused those in power to criminalize the study of Kabbalah and to persecute those who dared 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 receive Kabbalah, and free to do so as well. A crucial milestone in a new era was reached in 1922, when The Kabbalah Centre was established in Jerusalem by one of the greatest kabbalists of the 20th century, Rav Ashlag. The Zohar In simplest terms, The Zohar is a commentary on The Bible, structured as conversations among a group of friends, scholars, and spiritual masters. But the reality and power of The Zohar far transcend the limits of the physical world. Zohar is a Aramaic word meaning splendor or scintillation and The Zohar is literally an unlimited resource of brilliant spiritual Light.

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!
We are the authors of our own movie. We all can benefit from this wisdom.

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.
Litmus test for true fulfillment When people are truly fulfilled, they want to share with others. And when you are naturally sharing, you are fulfilled.
The essence of fulfillment is pure sharing. When you focus on what you are receiving, you lose fulfillment. Focus instead on what you can give another person.

Everyone has wanted something for the wrong reasons; most people just dont 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 good enough 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 desire that define what it will take to get there.
Although temporary fulfillment feels good in the moment, it will never serve you long-term. Set your sights even higher, and ask yourself, What will bring me long-term, lasting fulfillment?

Our job in this world is not about being a good person, or a spiritual person, or a wise person. It's not about giving a little charity or being nice to people. It's about doing what we came to the world to accomplish.
Michael Berg
If it is easy, you are not heading in the right direction. Real change takes effort.
Blind Spots:
1. Skills, knowledge, and/or expertise that you take for granted. 2. Areas where you believe you have expertise, skills, or knowledge, but perhaps you dont. 3. Things in life that distract you from seeing certain parts of yourself.
An addiction is when you continue to let things damage you even though you know the destructive nature of what you are doing. Why do we seek out destructive actions fully knowing the consequences of them?

People often seek spirituality when their life has been shattered; when we are living as an Effect and wonder about our lifes purpose. When we choose, we step out of the program we are born into, and start to become the Cause.
Will you BLAME your circumstances or will you CAUSE your circumstances to change?
definition:
cause (n.)
1. something that or somebody who makes something happen or exist or is responsible for a certain result
effect (n.)
1. a change or changed state occurring as a direct result of action by somebody or something else
If you discover that you can have some impact, it means that you have to step up to the plate and change your life.

The Suddenly Syndrome is a myth. To make a change, you must find the real cause of your chaos and get to the root.
definition:
sudden (adj.)
1. done or happening quickly, unexpectedly, and often without warning.
Chaos happens when we are so caught up in reacting to our lives that we lose track of what is real. Until you heal the root, the cause of your challenge will always be there. Our lives, no matter how chaotic they may appear, have order hiding within them. YOU have the power to change this cycle. Or, you can stick with your story if you want to. You just have to realize that you are creating it.
It is known that the power to bring benefit and the power to cause harm are parallel to each other.

When we focus on ourselves, our Ego keeps us locked up. Battle the Ego with a plan by using the tools of Kabbalah to fight the Ego. This takes effort and the desire to take on the challenge.
Creation can be likened to a picture puzzle that has been disassembled. Our purpose is to reassemble the puzzle, so that we too, can be considered cocreators of the world. Each time we effect a spiritual transformation of our nature -- choosing good over evil, sharing over receiving -- we connect a piece of the puzzle.

You are like a Vessel. All the energy of the universe is available to you. You just need to open yourself to the Light to focus your efforts and receive what you desire.
The difference between people is how much desire they have within them. Those with a bigger desire will draw in more. Those with a smaller desire are more easily satisfied. One is not better than another. The greater the need to receive, the greater the need to restrict the potential for greed. To be the Cause is to have choice. Choice is the funnel we can use to channel the Light of the Universe. It means that you always take responsibility for your actions. Nothing happens to you; you create 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 problems without seeking to understand the choice that created the challenge beneath it. If we are not causing, we are blaming and are thus being the Effect.
What will you choose in the moment a challenge or an opportunity? You must take responsibility.

Q What will get in the way of your being the Cause? A Your Ego.
Gratification for the Ego always involves CHAOS and pulls you back into being the Effect. Pay attention to your resistance.
Finding Your Ego 1. It is usually the most prolific part of you. 2. It focuses on what society thinks is important for you. 3. It is when you Desire to Receive for the Self Alone. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. It is what makes you capable of being embarrassed. It desires power and forces control. It makes you feel worthless. It tells you to play it safe and not take risks. It wants to get more stuff with the illusion that that will make you happy. 9. It convinces you that you need more degrees, more knowledge, more skills, before you can really be happy.
You are only a threat to the Opponent if you are starting to transform your nature.

Are you really doing what you want to do in most of your waking life OR is it driven by the call of your Ego? To the degree in which we are connected to the Ego,we are close to pain, suffering, and death. The Ego is not You.
In the first five seconds of a reaction, you have an opportunity to listen to the Ego or to wait for the softer call of the Light.
Cease from practice based on intellectual understanding, pursuing words, and following after speech, and learn the backward step that turns your light inward to illuminate your self. Body and mind of themselves will drop away, and your original face will manifest.

The stronger the Ego, the more force needed to crush it. You must clarify what your Ego/Opponent looks like and what it is driving you to do or not do.
Best Way to Find Your Ego ... Embarrass yourself on purpose. Your real spirit cannot be embarrassed.
The more uncomfortable we allow ourselves to be in front of others, the greater the opportunity to build our core strength. As the Ego is challenged, it will not go down without a fight. When we begin to put our Soul in charge, the Ego goes down kicking and screaming.

reaction (n.)
1. an emotional or intellectual response that something arouses 2. a response to something that involves taking action, or an action taken in response to something 3. an equal but opposite force exerted by a body when a force acts upon it
90% of people do not make a choice about their daily actions; instead, they react to what is happening around them.

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 conspiring in 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 the right questions to stay connected to the Light of new knowledge and growth.

Proactive Action = Conscious Action This is an expression of our free will. We can choose which response we will have to situations. If you feed your Reactive qualities, you give energy to the Ego. If you feed your Proactive nature, you give energy to love, gratitude, and sharing.
Proactivity is the antithesis of reactive behavior. Just by asking yourself questions that make you look beneath the surface, you are embracing a more proactive lifestyle.

There are two Worlds that co-exist simultaneously: 1. Physical World: Dictated by our five senses, which represent only 1 percent of reality. Seeks instant gratification. 2. Spiritual Dimension: Remaining 99 Percent World of infinite transformation. Seeks lasting fulfillment.
In the 1 percent World, we are cut off from the spiritual world that wants to help us. This is the world of the five senses. In this world, we see only the illusion of our lives and immediate turmoil. This prevents us from seeing the big picture.
Our 6th Sense, Consciousness, is the closest we get to sensing the 99 Percent World.
To be proactive is to tap into a greater universe. The universe is always conspiring in your favor. It is what makes up 99 percent of what surrounds us. In contrast, the percent of the universe that with which we are most familiar only makes up 1 percent of what surrounds us.

Everything exists in this World in its potential form. Our job is to reveal the 99 Percent World.
The Flow Zone When you are tapped into the 99 Percent World, things are easy, even when they dont happen the way you plan or expect.
When you react, you are in total discord. Life goes up and down so fast, you lose your intuition and natural strength to learn and grow. When you are in the flow, life seems almost too easy. In fact, sometimes we think that things are going so well it wont last. Consequently, we sabotage ourselves and knock ourselves out of this fluid statewe think that life is too good to be true and start to ask disempowering questions. In doing so, we shut ourselves off from the spiritual plane of the 99 Percent world. How to stay in the Flow: 1. Know that it wont end and continue to look for meanings. 2. Trust your intuition. 3. Look for signs, synchronicity, and coincidences.

Every cell has consciousness. Disease is a collection of cells with negative consciousness.
Limitations & Blockages Most individuals miss the 99 Percent World because they are limited to the 1 Percent that is in their head. When we are stubborn and closed, we do not see the signs meant for us. Only when we get past this can we tap into the power of the 99 Percent World. Once you are alert and aware, you cannot go back to being ignorant of the universe. Miracles We often expect miracles to be a big, amazing, extraordinary phenomena. As we bridge the two worlds together, miracles are happening all the time. They are put in our path at every moment to help us uncover more Light.

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.
Tikkun/Garbage is anything that keeps us from spiritual growth and 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 know what to fix.
You have come to this world to transform something. Denial is our reaction to direct Light.

We dont become who we need to be by doing the things we are naturally good at.
To reach our extraordinary potential in life, we are given opportunities to turn our Garbage into Light. This is not necessarily easy or enjoyable, but it is what we came here to do and how we reach ultimate fulfillment.
The Johari Window 1. What we know. 2. What we dont know. 3. What we dont know, we dont know.

Core Issues are lessons (i.e. Tikkun/Garbage) that keep showing up 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 take effort and time.

So what is transformation, really? How do we get to the core? And once we get there, how do we change our inner nature?
If we create an opening the size of the eye of a needle, then God, in turn, will respond by "opening up the Supernal Gates.
The Zohar
The change is relative to the individual. You have to have the strength to be weak.
The only way to get to your core issues is to start handling Garbage and making corrections. Put yourself in a place to get there. STRETCH yourself. When you go to your darkest place and conquer it, you grow immensely. That doesnt 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.
You must uncover what you dont want to see. This is where your Gifts will find you. Doing what is easy is not the point!
It is easy to become comfortable with darkness and what you dont 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.

You cannot compare your paths to others. What is challenging for one person may be easy for another. Discomfort is relative to the individual.
The man with no shoes wept... until he met the man with no feet.
Let go of the fear of being uncomfortable. Fear is anything that blocks you from reaching your true potential. It is generated by our Ego (Opponent), and it is a way for our Ego to own us.
What is the fear that you need to face to bring in more Light?
Remember, the goal is not to become proficient or even competent at what you are fearful of doing. However the goal is to face it over and over again until it is no longer an issue. Dont worry about the result. Focus on putting yourself in your fears.
When challenges appear overwhelming, inject certainty. The Light is always there.

We see a different reality when our blockages are removed. How can we tell where our consciousness is? And, what are some signs that we are evolving?
Change of consciousness does not mean that there exists a disappearance from the previous phase, as the previous phase of consciousness remains as before without any change whatsoever. Whatever change does take place is considered an additional phase over and above the previous one.
Rav Ashlag
When you get past corrections, you start to become more aware of the 99 Percent World. Contact with the 99 Percent Realm is the secret key to fulfillment in life. You can stay in the flow of the 99 Percent by paying attention to signs and signals. Many times, your unconscious mind is more aware than your conscious mind. Your daydreams and/or nightmares may provide even more insight.

As we elevate, the universe elevates. ONE person can shift the consciousness of the entire universe. We are all connected.
The majority may think you are crazy, but someone has to go first. As consciousness rises, everyone else jumps in when there is enough for them to understand. When a large percent of people are elevated, we reach a critical mass and a huge shift happens in the world.
If you want to be successful, look at what everyone else is doing and do the opposite.
The actions of an individual, each according to his worth, can cause the whole community to go up or down.

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 those thoughts upon others. Judgment comes from our underlying need to be in control and/or feel significant. We all have conscious judgment. This is what we choose to believe. However, most of us are not as aware of our unconscious judgment. We are conditioned by our experiences and our environment, and this can only be shifted if one creates new experiences and associations with the people to whom we unconsciously link certain character traits. The Evil Eye is the code for envy, negative feelings and thoughts according to Kabbalah. The energy of The Evil Eye is ever present around 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

You must also work to be aware of and to stop your own Evil Eye. When you notice yourself judging, force yourself to reverse your judgment and send positive energy to the individual. These are the same principles used in peace talks and negotiations around the world. Until you shift your thinking so that others are seen in the best possible light, you will perpetuate the negative vibration of the Evil Eye. Note: If you hear yourself making conscious verbal comments about others, imagine what is happening at an unconscious, energetic level.
By logic as yet unfathomable, when we witness a tragedy, in some way we are responsible for it.

This is where you need to place your desires to work and earn it. Where and how will you put in the effort to bring those qualities into your life?

Sharing matters not because it allows us to perform good deeds. Sharing matters because by transforming ourselves into sharing beings we gain the joy and fulfillment that is lifes true purpose.

True sharing requires effort and getting out of your comfort zone and sharing regardless of your mood. We dont always give with the right consciousness.
Selfish Sharing Insecurity Peer Pressure Significance Recognition Approval Avoid Judgment
Acts of giving alone will not change our consciousness. True sharing requires effort and getting out of your comfort zone. Money = Energy Money ultimately belongs to the Creatorwe just manage it. Our role in life is to give to others as endlessly as does the Creator.
That best portion of a good man's life: his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love

We all have something to share with the universe. What can you share today? (e.g. smile, helping hand, your creativity, joy, etc.)
You should ask yourself: On my journey through life how much good have I done?
