Who is Melchizedek according to Kabbalah?

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

An upper force of bestowal.

[Magsy Kapoor]

Dear Gianni,

My question comes after reading and rereading Rabash’s “What are truth and falsehood in the Work?”

Is there a difference between the aim of an action and the intention of it? From what I’m reading, it seems to me that the aim of an action is what you want to accomplish with it while the intention has only two possible options: to receive or to bestow. However I am not clear on this, so please help :>

Thank you! ❤️

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

Good discernment. The aim is interchangeable while we’re in English. But let’s say there’s you aiming, and there’s also the Kavana (intention). And that’s something from Above. The real intention, that is, for the Creator, comes from Above. After we show that’s what we want.

Another question , we know that suffering is what we feel in our ego and in our perception , mainly in our lack of The Greatness of The Creator , however can’t this suffering even if corporeally be used as purification if our intention is aligned and not concealed?

 

Thank you

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

Suffering does purify our vessel, but this path should really be joyous in every minute. So, if I’m suffering, then I need to check why. The only way there could be suffering that is beneficial is if it’s solely in my Will to Receive, while I feel myself as joyfully above it, truly that that is not me, as if it happens to someone else. I identify with the group, the Creator.

[Kristin]

after thinking on this , a few things . So I see that the purification comes through the ten and the connection of the friends because they are a mirror in which I can see my ego and where my intentions are not aligned . Then this creates a desire for a prayer from the bottom of the heart. He who comes to purify is aided with a Holy Soul, this means my soul is then purified one step if you will closer to adhesion in which my intentions become refined or is it just simply help from above and has not achieved any such higher state on its own ?

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

We clarify gradually that we’re in a situation where all we’re capable of is a prayer. This way we’re elevated to higher and higher states.

[Kristin]

This was very helpful thank you.

I have a question about shame along with what is the difference between descents and correction? for example when one is given revelation of his evil at first there is feeling of regret and shame for sinning against his friends and The Creator , then the ego comes into a corporeal shame in which it wants to isolate from the group. They seem to be two different types of shame and this is part of a correction or is this a descent or both ?

 

Thank you

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

Hi Kristin,

It just depends what I do with the descent and how long I stay in it. If I leave the work, leave the group, leave the Creator, fail to say “There is none else besides Him” – these things throw me to the lengthy path of pain by which I’ll gradually return, along similar pathways by which I originally came to the wisdom of Kabbalah. The ego likes to take credit for the evil instead of ascribing it to the Creator because then I escape the work (“It’s the fool who sits and eats his flesh”). If instead I quickly ascribe everything to Him, and run every time toward bestowal, this will be a much faster path, years and years faster.

[Kristin]

Thank you .

In last night’s graduate class, we were studying Rabash’s article 77, “Greeks have gathered around me.” The last paragraph says:

It follows that through Greece, meaning the Klipa [shell/peel] of Greece, who go according to reason, we descend into the abyss and it is impossible to rise, as it is written, “I have drowned in the abyss of Greece” (Psalms 69), and only from above is it possible to lift up.

It quotes Psalms 69, “I have drowned in the abyss of Greece,” but I can not find that quote. Was it written in a commentary on the Psalm?

Thanks.

Hi Ed,

There’s a word in there that is the same word for Greece and for the corporeal object used – and it doesn’t matter that corporeally the rise of the Hellenists came long after King David. It only shows that we can only superficially understand what Psalms is saying. Even Rabash would sometimes refer to Psalms and say, “No, this I don’t understand.”

[Zorica Kostadinovska]

Hi Gianni,

Since everything here has a spiritual root, so must the Physics laws like Newton’s three laws of motion, the law of universal gravitation,
Kepler’s law, Archimedes’ principle, Ohm’s law, Gauss’s law, the law on Conservation of Energy etc.

Can you please advise what are the corresponding spiritual laws? Where can I read about the spiritual laws please?

Thank you in advance!

[Ed]

Thanks!

If you want to hear as much as Baal HaSulam wanted to share about this, it’s in Talmud Eser Sefirot, part 1. In his notebooks, we saw that he was well aware of the principles physicists of the time we’re coming upon – but this is what he saw fit to tell us.
