Partícipe1- What to do when some kind of anger surfaces within you just because you see a Kabbalistic text?

ModeratorOvercome it and continue. Learn to associate less with feelings and more with the Goal.

PartícipeWhen I am with my ten, when my friend speaks, and I am listening. Should I listen with an intention that, the friend is speaking in order to connect us together for the sake of the Creator?

Gianni – KabU Instructor
ModeratorYes, we have to build all kinds of such channels of connection between us.

PartícipeGood Morning, I have been travelling, and reading articles…often I end up reading several articles because questions are spawned from the original article I was reading, so forgive me for being full of questions today.
A friend and I are reading Baal Ha Sulam’s #1 There is none else besides Him. In the article he says, “hat is, he lacks the strength to observe Torah and Mitzvot [commandments] even Lo Lishma [not for Her sake], for only by genuinely overcoming all the obstacles, above reason, can he observe the Torah and Mitzvot.
Yours truly, did not know what Lo Lishma and Lishma meant so I jumped onto article the Rabash Article 23 What Beginning in Lo Lishma Means in the Work.
Here is my two part question:
In the Rabash article one of the discernments in Lo Lishma is 2. One who studies in order to annoy. What is meant by annoy? Is this a translation limitation?
In the first article what is meant by “Not for her Sake” as opposed to “For her Sake?” Who/what is the “her?”

ModeratorHi Greg,
To annoy…there is such a state a person goes through where he studies in order to annoy his friends. There’s no need to open it up because one has to discover this inside, that he finds himself studying with that intention – even though he had hoped to have better intentions. It’s one of the many misdirections of the ego that one will discover while trying to locate the corrcet direction of Lishma.
Lishma means for the sake of the Creator. And Lo Lishma means he aims that way, but it turns out that the Creator has to grant him Lishma – because the person doesn’t have such a fuel, but only all sorts of other things can fuel him.

PartícipeCould we also say, for the sake of the Creator, could be, preparing a place for the Creator to dwell in?
- September 19, 2024 at 7:59 pm EDT #388051
Gianni – KabU Instructor
ModeratorThere is the place for Him to fill, and there is the intention – why it should be filled.

PartícipeThat means there are two things, the place and an intention- the why it should be filled
What is a place?
Is the filling done at once or step by step? What does it mean to fill? - September 20, 2024 at 12:30 pm EDT #388391
Gianni – KabU Instructor
ModeratorThe place is the desire. The filling is done step-by-step because first one needs to show they can be entirely above the desire.

PartícipeAre suicide and divorce considered “free choice” outside of being in a ten or are these actions also done by the Creator?
Thanks in advance Gianni!
- September 16, 2024 at 11:23 am EDT #387785
Gianni – KabU Instructor
ModeratorBy the Creator, of course. If I don’t know where my true free choice is, then I’m operated in everything like a puppet. But once I know, I have to choose. But before that, my choices aren’t real choices – I only feel as though I’m going through a decision making process while the Creator decided in advance. There’s a space for choice, but I have to study to locate it.

PartícipeHi Gianni, I need help understanding something please. I don’t have problem to annul during a lesson, or workshop or anything similar, but during leisure time, singing dancing drinking, my whole being protests, I cannot even think of annulment! I want to run away! In my defence, I never liked such big gatherings, and tend to avoid them. Do I have to have physical contact with people to achieve spiritual one? If yes, I am doomed! Thank you in advance.
- September 12, 2024 at 4:40 pm EDT #387391
Gianni – KabU Instructor
ModeratorI feel the same way, Zorica. When you frame properly the height of the spiritual goal and understand the purpose of the gathering, you’ll be able to see it as a unique opportunity to advance, especially when the gathering is done properly. The goal should be clear all the time, and be in front of our eyes. It should be serious, and of course if there is alcohol it should be fairly limited so that it doesn’t cloud the goal.
