Ask Anything

Hi David,

There’s no way we can logically understand it in our corporeal minds. If we lack the perception of the quality that governs all of nature, then we can’t even depict to ourselves the “thought” of how it operates – its “nature”.

There’s no just way. You can keep asking questions about “why?” but the answer will always be, “the Creator is Good that does good.” If you were to suddenly understand and feel that this was actually the Creator’s mercy and good intention, there’d be no doubt of His providence and you’d be addicted to His revelation. This of course is what the system of correction refrains from – that we wouldn’t just be shown but that we ourselves, from the lowly place, would rise to a high place on our own where from the opposite nature we attain the good nature.

You could extrapolate this question to any “evil” thing occurring in this world, you (and many others) tend to ask about the worst atrocities since surely if there was only a singular force in reality and it was good, it wouldn’t allow such things to happen. But really, we can’t justify the small things either, but we can somehow maybe logically understand that somewhere buried in the pain or struggle I or someone else experienced, it made them “stronger” or something like that, but like you said, we don’t understand what a “correction” is until we experience that every moment is actually a correction and sometimes there are calculations such as those where the “whole” is considered and not the “particular”.

Nature only considers the general development of creation towards the end goal. Nothing will stop the engine from moving in that direction. The created being will eventually reach that goal. The only question is how quickly. Can we awaken ourselves and cycle through the necessary states of awareness of our egoistic nature and demand correction, or will we need to be awoken from this external world in the form of pressures, stresses, pains and troubles?

Hope that helps,

Chris

Hey Todd,

You can imagine to yourself, that if the ego was receiving some of the greatest pleasures, there’s no room there to think about the spirituality you don’t have. This is just how we work. You can consider it “lucky” that you didn’t win the lottery.

Thanks!

Hi Khalid,

Anything is possible, indeed. Nature works on all of us in different ways. It makes sense this would happen since the wisdom of Kabbalah is just research into the phenomena in nature within a person. It would be natural for you to feel these natural emotions outside the framework of “Kabbalah” which is only the method itself.

Hi Adelina,

The pleasure gets “canceled” when we try and receive it for ourselves, similar to a short circuit in electrical systems. When we receive the pleasure, in order to bestow it, it passes through us to others, but the “through us” means we feel it.

Hey David,

Before the first light is extended down, the decision not to receive for itself needed to occur.

Thanks!

Hey Todd,

This is the question you need to ask yourself at every moment. Once you have an amswerr, which you find somewhere, whether it’s the sources here or any other material we have which awakens you and brings you the right direction you need to exert in.

Keep going forward. Desire is theain thing. As long as you are full of desire, this is fulfillment, the question is what do you do when you have no desire? Again you must turn to the environment to awaken you, or another trick is to awaken it which awakens you in return.

There are many states and we need to go through all of them. Thanks!
