When we receive full of the light in the preceding phases do we work for God this we receive the light or just receive the light without working.?
If you received pleasure in a vessel at one point, this then decreases the yearning and therefore the pleasure felt.
If you are always growing your desire, the potential pleasure is also greater.
However, this is the wisdom of Kabbalah – reception – The Wisdom of Reception, meaning how to receive. We will not be receiving pleasure as we do in our current perception, this is pleasure “in order to receive”, the pleasure of “in order to bestow” comes from a different place entirely and the yearning to bestow, the desire to bestow, is also pleasurable. Just like in our world, when you are in love, you enjoy thinking about the other. You’re enjoying from your desire for them. Just another example, even though it’s still egoistic.
Thanks!
Has anyone else passed machsom than Michael Laitman? (Tony Kosinec or you?) Please do not say to that we are not talking about spiritual attainment. Because we know that Rav has passed the machsom, and this does not affect us badly.
Hi Abdurrahman,
It’s a good question, but it’s not something we bring up or mention. There are a couple of reasons for that, but the main one is that it hinders a person’s ability to do the easier inner work toward those who appear outside themselves. To you, you should bring yourself to the level where you see everyone is at a higher level than you, in greater adhesion with the Creator, bestowing to Him more and you, you are far behind and outside the connection they have.
Of course, that means lowering yourself to see those higher. If you accept them as “higher” already, then you essentially ruin the work to lower yourself, work against your nature, and these efforts are the ones that draw the light and bring you closer to the world of bestowal.
Essentially, it doesn’t matter where anyone is, and we should keep it to ourselves so as not to harm others on the path. The goal is to be drawn after the greatness of others who naturally seem lower than yourself, less capable, less feeling, etc. Your work is to raise them in your eyes – “above reason” make them great.
Best of luck,
Chris
