Hey Adelina,

Usually “key” is Yesod and “hall” is Malchut.

Hi Mrc,

There is no benefit. In fact, this may be another form of egoistic fulfillment.

Regarding the past, we should believe that There Is None Else Besides Him. Whatever happened up to this point was how it had to happen. It’s also written, go to the craftsman who made me. Meaning, all that we are including our thoughts and desires, strengths and flaws, was created by the Creator. So we only have to turn to Him and ask for change.

But we are not talking about corporeal problems here. The request should be for correction. I want to be like the Creator, more bestowal, more loving, and I need His help to make this desire a reality.

So we shouldn’t delve too deeply into our problems. Rather, we want to concern ourselves with the right problem, the spiritual problem. And with this solution, all our problems will be solved.

Hi Todd,

It’s written by Baal HaSulam that the soul descended 125 degrees until it reached our world. Our path is to climb those same 125 degrees, reconnecting the broken pieces of our soul, and reach adhesion with the Creator, thus attaining the abundance intended for us.

All in all, the only thing that was created was the desire to receive. The spiritual worlds we learn about are a result of that process of creation of the soul, its breaking, and ultimate reconnection.

Hi Humehr,

It’s written from love of the created beings to love of the Creator. Loving others is the means by which we reach the purpose of creation, being adhesion with the Creator. Specifically this, adhesion with the Creator, is the greatest pleasure we can feel, and the only one that does not disappear.

If I feel some pleasure from my efforts to love others, and then it disappears, it is a sign that my efforts are still incomplete. In order to carry out love of others on a level necessary to attain the Creator, it requires support from an environment that will fill one with importance and strength to continue, even when loving others feels exhausting or against my desire.

It should also be stated that nothing ever disappears in spirituality. All is kept, and once a person fully corrects their intention to be in order to bestow, they will receive everything they have earned all at once.

Hey Adelina,

Correct. Technically the Torah would say “Israel” which is the more “advanced” (spiritually developed) iteration.

Thanks!

Chris

Hey Adelina,

Yeah, you could say that. You would also hear it being described as the smallest amount of pleasure being used to keep us alive, a reason to wake up in the morning allllll the way up to the biggest pleasures in this world –  they are all just a “thin candle”.

Thanks!

Chris
