Ask Anything

Hi Brad,

The shame Kabbalists speak about, even “hell” is only in relation to someone who has already attained the opposite quality -revealed bestowal. The horrors and tragedies or shame in this egoistic perception is still within only the ego, lacking the complete perception which would allow a person to define a state of hell or the opposite. Understanding His providence cannot be attained in this incomplete perception.

If we work to reveal how He relates to us by trying to become like Him, to attain His mind and His thought, this is what will open up to us how to truly relate to His providence which will surely only be when we can recognize it’s done only with completele love and bestowal towards us at all times.

I myself think that I do not have a balance between Chesed and Geborah
And I don’t know how to balance this

Hey Ricardo,

True equivalence of form is only possible if we are above our egos. This pleasant feeling you mentioned is simply egoistic pleasure, although there are roots in this pleasure, like any other pleasure, that stem from our interaction with the upper force, but what we feel while that force is concealed and we are opposite to it is only egoistic sensations –  to receive for ourselves.

No worries though. The more you progress you’ll be able to distinguish these things yourself and you can identify in what direction you need to go in order to discover true equivalence.

Thanks!

Hey mrc,

If you’re someone who hasn’t encountered the wisdom of Kabbalah and what it teaches, this would be the natural reaction, however, when you first learn about the concept of None Else Besides Him, this is a reality each person should strive to live. Baal HaSulam even writes, at the beginning of the day, one should say, “if I’m not for me then who?” which means, I can’t just lay in bed and expect to earn my salary since there’s none else besides Him which will care for my needs. At the end of the day, one should certainly believe there is none else besides Him and indeed all his actions and thoughts came from that one Source who manages all of reality.

As a person advances they will need to learn how to incorporate these principles in the correct way until they attain that true reality for themselves and see that this is the duality a person has to have in order to exist. Certainly, there is no one to “blame” besides the Creator and a person is simply being acted on from above, and if a person wants to change how they react to what is being sent, this depends on how they situate themselves in an environment which strengthens one’s grip on those two reigns.

The best advice is to always plant yourself in a good environment each moment and try not to let go. Blaming yourself won’t point you in the right direction except for from through suffering, where one eventually will realize there is no choice but to change their approach.

Best of luck,

Chris

This is something we don’t or can’t really answer. Kabbalah first of all doesn’t relate to Jesus or any of his teachings.

There are however 4 phases of direct like, the development of the desire which is essentially the blueprint of creation which you’ll see this pattern repeat in the creation of the spiritual worlds, our inner work and also sometimes noticed in this corporeal world as well.

Thanks,

Chria
