Class One This class begins discussing the parallel between physical and spiritual illness. As long as you can’t diagnose what is wrong, keep the overall body healthy. To cure, you must examine the specific ailment, even though we are dealing with spirituality- the Soul.
Class Two Three potential bases for the spiritual illness. 1) The body is coarse, [the solution: עאה דלא סליק בי’ נהורא מבטשין לי’ גופא דלא סליק בי’ נהורא דנשמתא מבטשין לי] to break it 2) The faculties, along with special gifts (such as a great mind heart, eyes or ears) come special challenges, this is overcome by fine- tuning and criticizing one’s faculties very diligently. 3) Habits that have been learned that are not good, this is overcome by going to the other extreme so that one can ultimately return to the center.
