      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

      Is the story of the Midrash historical facts or legends/myths..? thx

      • #287818

        Mrc,

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

      Is the nation of Israel the biggest egoist or the altruist..?

      • #287622

        Mrc,

        If you are referring to the corporeal land of Israel, then within that nation there are those whose point in the heart  has already been awakened, and those in whom it is still dormant. By default, those who are brought to the path have a greater ego. It is specifically the development of one’s egoism that prepares one to receive spiritual discernments. This is how the system works where we cannot build spirituality if not on top of our growing egoism.

      Is sefer Bahir an authentic Kabbalah book..?

      • #287620

        Mrc,

        I have never heard of this book. The authentic source texts upon which this Kabbalistic group are built on are Baal HaSulam and the Rabash. Besides this, a person doesn’t need anything.
