Ask Anything

Hi Al,

The intention is what exists in a persons heart at any moment. We cannot change our intention other then by arranging for ourselves an environment that will influence us with thoughts about the importance of spirituality and bestowal.

If a person organizes for themselves such an environment, then this automatically begins to work on a person bringing them closer to an intention of bestowal. For now, it is enough that a person focuses ones efforts on choosing the right environment and strengthening this environment every day. From the influence of the environment it will become clear how one should work with each thought that arises.

Hey mrc,

Pleasures “in order to receive” are always the lowest pleasures–what matters is the intention.

Hey Sandra,

This one comes to mind actually….https://kabbalahmedia.info/en/sources/2LhAKGGw

It’s also good to return to Shamati with “None Else Besides Him”. There’s always something new to take.

Best of luck…

Hi Zealot,

Reality is structured in a pyramid. This pattern continues through all degrees and into the human degree. At the top of the pyramid, you have the least in quantity and highest in quality–those aspiring for correction and following nature’s path of development to achieve the purpose of creation. At the bottom you have the majority of the human population with no interest in the above. Same with Israel. At one end, the physical land and the people there are significant, but the inner meaning–the qualitative is what’s important. It’s not to say land itself and the people there are not important, but it’s more of a reflection of the inner state of things. What the general public decides, how they behave, the government, the army, etc. — these things are remote from the spiritual–not important. The only time it becomes relevant is when the inner “Israel” begins making corrections and these corrections then spill out into the nation of Israel and from the nation to the rest of the world.

Thanks,

Chris

Hey Brad,

“Entering the kingdom” implies one’s preparation in the vessel (Kli) for what the kingdom has to offer. “Gilgul” in Kabbalah can simply be “change”–as in a change in the will to receive to another state. This certainly would be necessary as a person would need to undergo many changes until they have that correct desire. Messiah you could say comes into play when referring to Gmar HaTikkun, so I’m not sure how you want to connect that here.

Thanks!

And to add to that, how would messiah, or death of the righteous atoning come into play with the above question.

thx

Hey mrc,

It’s one of the biggest desires we have. You could say the same about some physical contact of a piece of steak going down your throat.
