12) Special Q&A Session
You & Society
Every Sunday for 12 Weeks
1) Evolution Of Creation
You will begin relating to history as part of an overall developmental process that has occurred, and is still occurring. That process is the development of desire through levels known as “levels of existence.”
You will learn:
How the evolution of creation through still, vegetative, animate and speaking levels is development of different levels of desire
- How each new level of still, vegetative, animate and speaking is a new level of existence
- How humanity is approaching a new level of existence
- How each evolutionary level contains these same 4 levels within it
2) Will To Receive – The Operating Program Of Society
You will begin recognizing the single overall goal (or intention) to receive as much pleasure as possible for the least amount of effort.
You will learn:
- How a single force acts upon every single thing on this level of existence, causing it to want to receive pleasure
- This force is like an operating program constantly determining in advance what choices we make prior to one even feeling a desire
- Societies rise and fall, wars are fought, depending on whether the society is receiving enough pleasure or not (this will be exemplified through historical and current events)
3) Perception Of Reality In Relation To Society
You will see how your perception is dictated by the society you are in.
You will learn:
- How your perception of reality is based upon the levels of desire dictated by the society influencing you
- How your perception can change when the levels of desire of the society change
4) Judgment
You will see how society not only sets what we perceive, but also influences what we say is good or bad.
You will learn:
- How within our current level of perception, we base “good and bad” only upon what society dictates to us what is good and bad
- How we can be under the influence of many different societies at once, and choose which one has the most influence on us
- How society as a whole sets parameters for judgments based upon its given priority of desires
5) The Point In The Heart
You will see how there has been a progression in the quality of desire, which has led to an overall desire for pleasure that cannot be fulfilled in this level of existence.
You will learn:
- How society as a whole has evolved to a level of desire that exceeds the ability to be fulfilled from this current level of existence
- How the result of this change and increase of desire is responsible for wars and disasters in the world
- How the point in the heart has gone through an evolution
6) Concealment
You will see that the society you live in only pursues desires at the animate level, and that until today, people have not needed the wisdom of Kabbalah and the additional sense one can attain through it, due to the goals always set by society.
You will learn:
- How social goals for pleasure, even those we hold in highest esteem (e.g. helping earthquake victims), are based upon the simple want to feel good
- How as long as society only pushes to receive pleasure on this level of existence, one does not need additional senses as one will always pursue goals dictated by society
7) Equivalence Of Form With The New Level
You will understand that equivalence of form means attaining the goals of the new level of existence.
You will learn:
- How the true problem of not sensing on the new level of existence is in one’s lack of equivalence of form with that new level
- How equivalence of form does not mean new desires, but rather a new method of operation – why one makes an act
8) Egoism
You will understand that the concealment of nature’s full picture is caused by your current operating program, which controls your entire current level of existence.
You will learn:
- How egoism is the culprit that causes society to always dictate chasing desires in our current level of existence
- How egoism is the desire to receive for one’s own personal benefit
- How what doesn’t allow a person to feel the next level of existence right now is that all benefit is directed inward
9) Connection
You will understand that “connection” is what is concealed from you, and how connection is needed in order to sense the next level of existence. You will also understand that there is a concealed connection between you and every single thing that exists.
You will learn:
- How the butterfly effect shows how connection is society has become global
- How there is an overall connection between every single thing which causes us as a whole to operate as a single whole
- How our egoism prevents us from sensing this force
10) Will To Bestow – Operating Program Of The Next Level Of Existence
You should understand that in the next level of existence there is an entirely different operating program than the will to receive.
You will learn:
- How the next level of existence operates under an entirely different program, where enjoyment is attained by benefiting others
- How without existing on this new level, it is impossible to feel or understand that one could feel pleasure from anything other than reception
- How connection is a fundamental necessity in order to attain the next level. It cannot happen alone
11) The Necessity Of The Right Goal & The Right Desire
You should understand that the key to obtaining this new operating program is not knowledge, but rather the acquisition of a new desire from society.
You will learn:
- How to accomppsh a goal on this level of existence by acquiring knowledge followed by appropriate action
- How attaining the goal of acquiring this new level of existence is controlled through desire, and requires a total mind shift
- How society dictates what our goals are
12) The Necessity of Attaining the Right Goal & Desire
You should understand that although society provides this desire, you are responsible for its development.
You will learn:
- How society is responsible for providing us our goals, and how one must seek a society with the importance of the desired goal
- How after finding such a society, one must place that society on a very high level of importance or one cannot be influenced by it

TESTIMONIALS
Eric Falbo - London, UK
In internet forums, blogs and websites all over the internet I see people wondering what is unique in Kabbalah in relation to religion, occultism, eastern therapeutical practises and any and every term remotely associated with 'spirituality'. This question was what drove me to discover the work of Bnei Baruch. For 11 years I had been searching for the answer to that question. I became a member of masonic orders, hermetic schools; I studied with ascetic Christian gnostics as well as regular priests; dedicated years of study of the ancient greek language in order to understand Homer, Plato, the Stoics and the New Testament first hand; I delved into Academic Post-Aristotelian philosophy in meticulous depth; I studied astro and particle physics, biology, linguistics and logic; I even practised Orthodox Judaism - All in search for the answer to the way into spirituality. The answer turned out to be much more simple and surprisingly more beautiful than I ever imagined. Therefore my testimony is that any testimony runs the risk of never doing justice to the actual experience of unity that the study of Kabbalah provides. Kabbalah is the Cadillac of all human capacities! :)
Rachel Branson - Springfield
Kabbalah has answered my deepest questions, and much more: It has revealed the laws of love and of nature, which are one and the same, to me. It has provided me with a most wonderful tool to educate my children, and to relate to my loved ones, as well as to better my relationships at work. Through the lessons at the Bnei Baruch Kabbalah Education Center, I was able to connect with friends who had the same spiritual yearnings for answers as I had. In this connection I have found a lot of strength to move forward on the spiritual path. Today, I volunteer as an English-Spanish translator for the Education Center. It is a great way to become a part of the spreading of love and light to others who are discovering this wisdom. I hope everybody finds the root of their soul, for there lies the root of love.
Chris Jones - Abilene, Texas
I was using StumbleUpon, a website that shuffles you around to random websites, within parameters based on specific key interests. Bnei Baruch's PerceivingReality.com video prompted me to register for the class, and that was only 10 weeks ago. It's been great; more than I could have expected, obviously because it was more than I could imagine. All the blanks and gaps of life begin to be filled, given that there is no sense in turning away. I hope to attend the retreat in January, and I'm anxious in anticipation for perception of connection.
Heather Columbia - Santa Cruz, California
I found the Education Center through MySpace about one and a half years ago. Before taking the Fundamentals course, I was initially put off by the term "Kabbalah." Since the course was free, I finally decided to give the course a shot and the course has truly been a miracle for me. I have been drawn to spirituality my entire life and thought I had it figured out but was still searching for something deeper. I had questions but had given up expecting answers. The lessons through the Education Center have not only shown that there is a clear and traveled path but offer outstanding support on the journey.
Robert Friend - Owensboro, Kentucky
I came across the Bnei Baruch Kabbalah Education Center. The Education Center had a course starting immediately so, I signed up for it and have been studying with a group form that time forward. Today we finished the 10 week course of "Kabbalah Fundamentals." I'm eager to start the next course and learn more from the Kabbalist teachings. I greatly appreciate the Bnei Baruch Education Center and their friends for all of their efforts in sharing the Kabbalist teachings with everyone. Thank you for putting up with me and my quirky nature. See you at the next lesson. Robert.
Mari Kido - Albuquerque, New Mexico
My quest for the meaning of my life and the purpose of humanity has been a life long quest since I was a teenager. Now, in my fifties, I have found Kabbalah. I just happened to be searching the Internet and I found the Bnei Baruch Education Center by chance. Ever since then, my life has taken a complete turn and I have acquired a totally new perspective in life. The Bnei Baruch Education Center is an amazing organization dedicated to providing all seekers with precise, clear and very well organized information through a curriculum designed to guide someone step by step to a whole new vision of the world and ourselves. I am most grateful for all I have been given by this great group of friends dedicated to disseminating the wisdom of Kabbalah with so much love and care.
Donald Rupert - Austin, Texas
It has been wonderful to be a part of the live sessions, to see and interact with the instructors and others studying from all around the world. There is no pressure. What you don't understand from the live session, you can download it from the archives and review it over and over if you need to do that. No pressure at all! This is an awesome way to learn and get the basic information that is needed to study further. Thanks so much!
Albert Kaykov - Flushing, New York
Before finding Kabbalah, I felt like I had everything and yet was still missing something. I considered religion and went through many books related to "spirituality." I kept getting more and more confused without a clear answer. The Bnei Baruch Education Center changed my life forever. I was amazed at how one teaching, Kabbalah, could answer all questions I had about what's happening in the world and why. My entire journey started with the Bnei Baruch Education Center and I'm eternally grateful for such a positive and life changing experience.
Atilano Gonzalez – Tampa, FL
Before finding the Education Center of Bnei Baruch I was searching quite vigorously for answers concerning Life and Eternity. Most of my questions were not being answered by fellowship at churches or preachers. Most of my spiritual knowledge was flipped upside-down and the notion of my understanding of spirituality was tested every day at the Education Center. Finding the courses online, where I conducted most of my research, was not by coincidence, but a meeting point for all ends of every search. I couldn't ignore it any further and I gave it a try. Now that I have concluded the online course I feel free of obscurity and released from the cloud of religions. In as little words as possible I would have to say, the truth has set me free!
Karin van den Berg - Deventer, Netherlands
My entire life, I have been searching for "something." I had no idea of what that "something" was but there was this urge in my heart to find "it." I wanted to change the world, heal it and spread love around! I just didn't understand why people didn't get along and why they were out to destroy each other and our beautiful planet!
My search "accidentally" brought me to the Bnei Baruch Education Center through Google, when I didn't even look for something like Kabbalah, and it got my immediate attention! I was stuck in life and the instructors told us (in the very first lesson) that our perception of reality would change completely in the next 3 months. That was exactly what I needed, so I woke up in the middle of the night twice a week to watch the fundamentals. After 3 years I am still here and my perception of reality changed so much! I don't even have words to describe of what happened inside of me. The only thing that I can think of is: Nothing is the same and my life never made so much sense as it does right now!
Purnor Sogangoz - Istanbul, Turkey
Kabbalah came into my life just at the right time. I had the desire for something more than everything this world was offering me, and felt that there is something "out there," but didn't know the way to it. Then a friend introduced me to Kabbalah. The first time I was reading Dr. Michael Laitman, I was in tears and I didn't know why, but I felt I was finally at the right place. Since January 2010, I have been following the classes. The Bnei Baruch Education Center has organized a very open-hearted and welcoming structure for anyone willing to enter. Realizing how much effort, love and care is put in developing this system moment by moment, one gets encouraged and inspired to be with them more and more. Thanks to all the friends involved in this wonderful group, everyday I feel more and more that our common desire for improving life for everyone is growing and getting stronger.
Debbie Wood - St. Antonio, Texas
My whole life I looked for any kind of teachings that reflected a harmonious, peaceful existence. I read a lot of books and always wanted to achieve this understanding of life that all these people seemed to talk about. When I was in my twenties the intensity of searching for some peaceful existence in my life became quite a goal. But no matter what I did, I couldn't find peace, love or caring, and so I always kept searching. I finally found the Education Center Kabbalah classes and couldn't believe it, I joined immediately. I was captivated, I couldn't get enough information and my thirst was great. I finally found the place where all the missing pieces came together. Nothing has been as powerful and all-inclusive as this teaching, linking each person and every teaching to its roots.
Anna Savos - Seattle, Washington State
I tried everything. I went to all possible churches, I tried yoga and meditation and none of these had any impact on me. My father was the first to introduce Kabbalah to me, it was simple, yet it said things I had never read anywhere else, and it spoke to me on a deeper level than anything else I had read before that. It introduced me to something I never felt before. I found the Bnei Baruch Education Center website and saw that the course was free and was going to start soon, so I signed up. The first lesson made that click, where I felt "This is it!" And even before that, when I entered the virtual lesson environment and saw other people in the chat box leaving greetings, this made the biggest impression on me. It felt totally different, like "Wow, there are other people here who feel the way I do!" That's what did it.
Jocelyn Steeves - Sharbot Lake, Canada
I always knew that I was limited in my perceptions but still felt an all encompassing reality existed. My husband was attracted to the Bnei Baruch site because, unlike the others, it offered a free course of studies with free books. They were not out to sell, they were there to teach. I realized that Kabbalah was the method for attaining a completely different reality to ours and the Education Center has taught me the methodology to attain this reality. Since starting at Bnei Baruch, and since the concepts have sunk in, I feel like I'm on a path that's developing, like I'm always moving forward to a greater awareness of how this world works. It's truly wonderful, and turns your everyday life into a moment by moment rollercoaster ride. Kabbalah gave my life new purpose.
Jike Paramo, Mexico City MX
I had been looking for a long while and then I found the online course. It was strange at the beginning because it was unusual not to be able to see the people and to interact with them, but then I realized that the connection is deeper than just sitting next to each other. It's just an overwhelming experience and it's the most important thing I've ever done. Now when I look back I wouldn't really talk to the guy I was before I started studying. Instructors make it so easy that is just feels that it all makes sense. It was a life changing experience.
Louise Pierce, Arlington, VA
My life has been a big search for that something I've never known. So I started with many disciplines but after a friend sent me the Education Center materials, I've never looked back. I had no problems studying online. It's indescribable because I've never had this camaraderie before with other people. It's different... the Education Center is entirely different and meeting other people is entirely different.
Mikael Folkesson, Sweden
I searched, questioned and looked for answers everywhere. I came to Kabbalah and it really changed everything, because it has the answers! It's now after the course, and I'm a new man. I discovered that there is an extraordinary purpose in life, and I found my purpose. Although I now feel a great responsibility upon myself, I feel secure and harmonious. I found profound answers to all my questions that I can put to the test and develop.
Sally Stroud - Klamath Falls, Oregon
I searched high and low for meaning but no matter what I found I felt that it didn't go deep enough toward the source. Once I came across Bnei Baruch it was an entire new revelation for me. It made so much sense, and was the end of my search for meaning. The Education Center made it clear how Kabbalah is neither mysticism, occultism, religion nor any of the other things people associate it with. It was but something completely outside of anything I've read in all the other books that just has to be tested to be believed. At the online course I took the material was presented so clearly and made so much sense that I could see the truth of what was taught right there before me.
Karen Modlin - Kohav Yair, Israel
I began to seriously question the meaning of life as a teenager. My search led me to existential literature, and studying Psychology in the hope of finding answers to my questions, but even after years of study and being in Psychotherapy, I was no closer to feeling at home with myself in the world. An inner emptiness led me to try a variety of "spiritual" methods I was attracted to these but was unable to really commit to them. I found Bnei Baruch through a friend and felt a real connection to the study materials. I have been connected daily ever since and this has been the fulfillment that I have been searching for.
Ramon Quinn, Hampton VA
Those most important questions reappeared and I went searching. I found the Education Center on the Internet. It just reinvigorated my sense of hope and my sense of purpose. I log on and start seeing everybody's messages, the greetings, the music and then everything starts happening. It is unlike anything I've ever imagined before. It grabbed me by my heart and I couldn't let go. I have not become a totally different person but I am focused on understanding myself. It's an intense and compelling experience that I want to be a part of instead of just eating, sleeping and working or meeting my friends for drinks.
Peta de Havilland, London UK
I thought "I found something that made sense." I understood it very quickly and it just seemed to fit really well. I'm coming to understand myself as a person a lot better than I did three years ago. When you are studying online it's all live, so you can interact and communicate with your tutors and other people who are studying at the same time. It feels like you're surrounded by thousands and thousands of people studying the same things at the same time, however since the goal of the study is so uniting, these thousands of people feel like one person. I've never felt such closeness to people before. This wisdom holds wonders for people and for the world, and I only hope others will be able to benefit from it like I have.
Janice R, Chicago
I always tried to find an answer to the question of "what is it all for?" and never could. When I came across Kabbalah years ago, I didn't understand what it was talking about but I wanted to know more. I took the free online course at the Bnei Baruch Education Center, and after the first lesson I knew this was "it". I loved the articles we studied and the topics that we covered were fascinating.
