Ask Anything

Hi Magloire,

Yes, it applies to any pleasure. Since Kabbalah literally translates as reception, it’s the wisdom for how to receive. So the way you perceive reality with the current vessels you have is one where you see reality 70 years of trying to fulfill your desires, turns into (with the addition of a new nature, a new “sense”) perceiving reality through new vessels which are all about filling the desires of the broken vessels outside of you. In order to fill them, you need to feel them, acquire them as your own and exist through them as a means not to receive for yourself, but to receive in order to bestow which is the intention to be similar to the Creator.

The gradual concealment of the One who created us is for us to each time have the right desire to reveal more and more. The true fulfillment is equal to the true pleasure which is infinite. An infinite vessel and infinite fulfillment. The desires that come and go, the ones we feel on this level are ultimately to awaken in us a new desire for actual fulfillment. You’ll notice you forget about all the pleasures you felt as if you never were fulfilled. This is how the will to receive works since it’s built to reach the degree of the Creator and this program won’t stop unfolding until the end of correction. It certainly feels like “oh, I just need to eat again?”, but nothing is repeated as the same state. The more sensitive you become to these things, you’ll see that each moment is an opportunity, it just depends on how ready you are to react to each opportunity correctly so you can become wiser from each state and not simply go through them as if in a dream.

Let me know if that’s not what you were asking. Hope that helps.

Thanks!

Saba I think is grandfather, but what about Tvuna?  I cant find this anywhere in the literature I was reading.  I finished the Zohar.  I am thinking I missed something.  Its good to know these words because it makes the text less confusing.

Hey Ceren,

Each person really is powerless when talking about the desire for bestowal. We have only this spark that lets us feel the emptiness of the will to receive for oneself along with a desire for something about this world, this perception of reality. This is the starting point for us all, but to expect a desire for more, cannot and will not come from oneself. A person is completely and totally dependent on the environment.

I wouldn’t set the bar so high. A person only studies where their heart is. If you can’t make it for the live lesson, watch it recorded (www.kabbalahmedia.info). Integrate here in the environment, and the morning lesson. You might feel like you have access to where the desire will come from and be able to integrate with it.

Don’t stress about this though. Just look at yourself from the side and see what the Creator is having you feel. It’s not for no reason, and you already know the direction, the aim, His intention – to bring you to equivalence with Him, expanding that point of desire He initially gave you to something infinite like Him. Try to react differently, check yourself – how you feel, what your thoughts are, mainly – what do you want, and to whom do you want to bring pleasure? To yourself or to the Creator? Once you have the diagnosis, you can already start working with the tools He gave you. This is the effort. You’re not expected to succeed, since real success is a true, heartfelt prayer to be rewarded with the quality of bestowal.

Best of luck,

Chris

There is no way to edit so I should clarify.  There is no ego here.  Ba’al Sulam warns about not understanding the text correctly.  You are the teacher, I am the student.  I simply am lookin for clarification because I am reading Ba’al Sulam in “The works of Ba’al Sulam Vol 1 and 2”.  I need to make sure I am understanding what he said correctly, as a student I can only assume what I read, so as a teaching im asking you what is being said.  During the live Q&A it was mentioned the Zohar Covered all the worlds, but in this course it was said that we only attain matter and form of matter we dont deal in abstract or essence.  This particular question I am asking does the Zohar deal directly with the upper worlds of Atzilut and then the Ein Sof?   If it does not, I believe it points to the torah (In kabbalistic code), because Dr. Rav Michael Leightman, in his book Disclosing of a portion writes that the torah deals with the degrees of the patriarchs and total correction (the tabernacle and unification with the creator) as being very powerful spiritual degrees.  In one of the courses there was the asch incident where if one was told they were wrong even if they were right because of outer forces and pressures one would admit to being wrong.  This type of confusion needs clarification of great merit, which is why I am the student asking the teacher.  What is really going on here, and why does it look like only the Zohar deals with in form of matter and matter only in the BYA worlds?  What am I missing?

Hey Ty,

We don’t do it since there’s no benefit first of all in passing whatever you’ve experienced to others since there’s no way for them to feel what you feel. Secondly, whatever words are used can only cause harm since that necessarily paints some picture or redefines concepts that only confuses others, obligating them to chase after certain images or emotions that aren’t accurate. This is why each person does their work, letting the sources and the teacher guide them. Any discussions between us aren’t about personal attainments, but generally about inspiration, raising importance and giving good examples. That list is of course a bit more detailed, but that’s the idea. Whatever we do, whatever actions we make or words we say, we always have to be very careful that we aren’t confusing anyone trying to implant in others what I felt or feel.

Thanks!

Chris

attainment can be shared in writings, but you only you can attain something and experience it.  This is why the Kabbalist have attained all the levels through the ten.  I took the class thanks for the advice

Hey Richard,

I would say this

And these

Let me know if you meant something else.

Thanks!
