Is peace after dispute more important than having no disputes at all? so we have to search for dispute, dispute and make peace?
- May 23, 2024 at 12:57 pm EDT #373266Chris – KabU InstructorModerator
Not “search” for dispute, but our actively searching for greater unity and adhesion with the Creator will always bring “dispute”.

What is the difference between yenika (nursing) and ibur (impregnation)?
- May 23, 2024 at 12:56 pm EDT #373265Chris – KabU InstructorModerator
Ibur is the initial stage of spiritual development, where a person completely annuls their self and becomes like a spiritual embryo.
During yenika, the person actively seeks spiritual nourishment and is likened to an infant suckling from its mother.

what is the difference between the exile of the creator and humanity’s exile?
- May 22, 2024 at 3:19 pm EDT #373207Chris – KabU InstructorModerator
Just “root and branch”. Differences are many, but they all point to spiritual roots.

What advantage, then, is there in being a Jew, or what value is there in circumcision? Is a jewish soul better then a gentile soul? Why does a gentile have to convert?

I guess thats more from a religious respective, if you can answer it from both religious and the  Kabbalistic prospective.

Religious: Jew is the identity one assumes by either inheriting it through their mother or by conversion in adoption of practices and belief.
Gentile would be one who is not a Jew by birth or who has not converted…
Kabbalah: “Jew” derives from the Hebrew word “Yichud,” which means “unity” or “one who strives for unity with the Creator.
Gentile refers to the other desires within a person who do not yet want to work for the Creator.
Circumcision is removal of egoistic desires keeping us from advancing until we have the ability to handle them.

Can pleasure/joy increase holiness or must experience suffering/hardship to move forward?
- May 22, 2024 at 3:09 pm EDT #373205Chris – KabU InstructorModerator
Depends what kind of suffering though. Hunger is suffering yet it serves us by preparing the place for pleasure.

Is a klipot always outside something like a covering or can be an independent entity?
- May 22, 2024 at 3:07 pm EDT #373204Chris – KabU InstructorModerator
It exists to counter Kedusha–there’s no light without a Kli.
