        Mrc,

        A righteous is one who justifies his Maker, and who strives to achieve equivalence of form with Him, meaning to acquire the intention to bestow over all of one’s actions.

      What is the meaning of: do not discern faces it’s not good.., is it means that we must view people as equal..?

        Mrc,

        First of all, I do not understand what source you are referencing in order to interpret your first statement. About your second question, Rabash does teach us that we must strive to build a connection of equality between us. There are some states where I am higher than the friends and am bestowing to them, and some states where I am lower compared to their greatness, receiving from them like a child to it’s mother. But ultimately we must reach equality between us.

      Do we subconsciously make a contraction (Tzimtzum) or it’s already pass (the stage) and now we receive in order to receive again..?

        Hi Mrc,

        I have copied my answer to your question below as the answer speaks to both questions:

        Kabbalists describe the state of creation before the emergence of this world and the souls that inhabit it. There, they speak of the tzimtzum. This is from above down, and is considered an action of the Creator. Besides this, there is also the matter of the tzimtzum from below upwards. Here we speak of the decision of the created beings to only receive pleasure for the sake of bringing contentment to the Creator. And here we speak of the realization of the freedom of choice of the created beings.

        One thing I would add is that we never receive in order to receive. This is forbidden due to the initial tzimtzum from above down. Rather, we learn to receive in order to bestow. In this is the realization of the purpose of creation.

      Does our souls in previous life perform the Tzimtzum by ourselves..?

      I guess I know how to make money easily.., it’s in the book of proverbs:

      Eat and drink less

      Sleep less

      Do not love wine and oil (I have a feeling they reverse this so that love oil and wine is the correct one possibly)

      Be diligent

      Give to others

      Do not slumber and clasps/fold hands

      And do not love mirth

      You can search in Google

        Mrc,

        Midrash is not something we study. Hence, commenting on it would only cause confusion.
