Ask Anything

“Doing good” is wanting good for others. Kabbalah doesn’t speak about actions in this world. However, in order to reach the ability to have the right intention, we first have to bring others (in the ten) closer to us, and this is what shapes us and forms us to be bestowers.

Hey Malka,

It’s not “consuming” the pleasure, it’s just felt in our vessels since this is what we pass to others–this is what bestowal is. Reception is us trying to stuff the pleasure into our own vessels. Bestowal is using our vessels to ask for bestowal which the act itself is the intention. The pleasure is in becoming like the Creator and this is what fills us.

Thanks!

Correct!

Hi HJV,

We’re essentially walking “blind”, but our efforts to come closer each time adds a new level of emotion, and with new sensation comes the mind to scrutinize that sensation and gives us another level of awareness. Step by step we learn what it means to come together, how, where–it’s all added from above. Not from whatever egoistic, logical ideas we have as to what it means to be connected, rather, what we receive from above as guidance. These are all things that are felt. We will always be shown the corruptions and it’s on us to ask Him for help rising above them to connect in the common desire above everything else.

Thanks!

Hey mrc,

Not exactly sure of the context but typically it would be “persistent” in scrutinizing one’s state–where one is now and what the desired state is.

Thanks,

You could say that, although spirituality is based on an the existence of the intention, “who do I want to please?”. If I want to please myself, this is corporeality, if I want to please the Creator, this is spirituality. The pleasure is the goal in corporeality and in spirituality pleasure is a consequence, but the intention is the goal.

Thanks!
