Last night, the Winter 2010 Bnei Baruch Kabbalah Learning Center semester began. In two introductory classes (one for the Americas and one for Europe), BBLC intructors introduced the wisdom of Kabbalah, overviewing what it is, who it’s for, and why it’s becoming popular in our era, and also answered questions asked during the class by attendees worldwide.
The Bnei Baruch Kabbalah Learning Center is currently hosting over 30,000 students, and over 4,000 students have signed up for this Winter semester. If you missed the first lesson, then it’s not too late to sign up, download the first lesson, and catch up with the rest of the course. New students are welcome to sign up until January 20.
When: The course will begin on April 19, 2009 and will continue through June 2009.
How much does it cost? The course is completely free of charge.
What: This interactive course will cover the basics of authentic Kabbalah, providing a deep understanding of nature, the world, and who you really are. It will give you practical tools with which to take control of every challenge in life by learning the real rules of the game. The study of authentic Kabbalah texts will allow you to sense a unique illumination that reveals and helps you realize your life’s true purpose.
During the classes, students can ask questions live over the Internet, and the lessons will also be available for free download for anyone who missed them. Students will also have the opportunity to participate in forum discussions about the classes.
The course will be taught in English and simultaneously interpreted into Spanish, Italian, German, and French. Over 17,000 students from 150 countries have already registered!
Here is what Brett Bailey of New York City, a graduate of the 2007 “Fundamentals of Kabbalah” course, had to say about his experience:
“What can I say? People just don’t know what they’re missing out on until they try it for themselves. That’s what I love about this wisdom more than anything: it’s pure science. You attain what you work for through experimenting on yourself. And what do you attain? Simply put: the next level that people are developing toward. I wish for others to discover this and see just how much power it has to change people. I thank Bnei Baruch with all my heart for making this wisdom freely available to all!”
Machsom (Hebrew for “barrier”) is the barrier that stands between this world and the spiritual world. Here’s what Rav Michael Laitman wrote about the Machsom in this must read post…
A question I received: You’ve been the leader and mentor of the Bnei Baruch group for nearly twenty years. Maybe it’s time to make a public summary? How many people have crossed the Machsom over this period of time, and how has the world changed as a consequence? Or is this no longer the objective today? Are you now simply trying to change the world without your students’ personal correction?
I understand that this question will be deleted, but at least someone will read it. But if you do decide to publish an answer, then please don’t beat around the bush: give us real numbers and results, and the actual improvement in the world.
My Answer:
* Number of students in the world – around 2,000,000.
* Number of groups in the world – 73.
* Number of people who have crossed the Machsom – 19.
* Number of people who are about to cross the Machsom – 210. The rest will cross it by the year 2012.
* Annual growth of students – 700-900%.
* Number of hopeless students – 1. It’s you.
