      Good evening,

      I have a question from a friend:

      I had to put down my dog. It was very heartbreaking, but I thought about Shamati 138. That to the extent I have heart break in the loss of this quality in my perception I redirected it to HIm. So it became a heartbreak for the loss of the connection with the Creator and that we need Him to feel close and to near Him. Is this the correct way of looking at this? There are some other parts of this that I want to ask about as well.

      Many thanks.

      How do we connect to Rav?

      Hi Gianni,

      About the article on giving of the Thorah… I understood that the giving of the Thorah is an everlasting spiritual process and that the light of the Thorah shines to the full extent all the time, but we cannot grasp it (like with our eyes we cannot perceive the sunlight at night). Is it that the light is always there to the full extent on the spiritual journey we discover bit by bit as we discover degree after degree? And if yes… is the (changing, as we develop) light of the Thorah  itself a goal to look out for, or rather like a lightpost guiding the way to reach the goal? So… in our work… internally and in the connection with our friends,  how shall we relate to the importance of sensations related to the light of the Thorah?

        I think Light of the Torah is something one can’t look for, one doesn’t know what it is. It’s just words. Look for connection with the friends, that an Upper Force of bestowal will inhabit that connection.

      today’s lesson we studies” 36. What Are the Three Bodies in Man? a couple of questions didn’t get a chance to ask during the class

      1. the inner body, which is a clothing for the soul of Kedusha [holiness]” please help to explain the meaning of “clothing for the soul of Kedusha”? what does clothing mean?

      2. ” Hence, one must think only of the inner body, for it is a clothing for the soul of Kedusha.”. I thought all of our thoughts came from above, if so, how do we take initiative to think only for the inner body?

        1. It has nothing to do with the biological body, nor is it inside the biological body. The inner body is the group, which can be a clothing for the soul, a wrapping.

        2. Still, everything you feel yourself doing and exerting to do, goes into your account. At any rate, you’ll reach the goal as you feel yourself exerting, praying with all your might, toward the goal, and toward only this – so try to be closer to this.

      Hi,

      I am quite new in this graduate environment, and this question might be ahead of my current progress. I have the e-books suggested in the basic courses, but only up to the third book which is Kabbalah for Students (have finished Kabbalah Revealed and Attaining the Worlds Beyond). I am wondering which specific book that explains about the Sefirots, partzufims and the 125 degrees that would serve as a guidance?

      Thank you.

        Preface to the Wisdom of Kabbalah by Baal HaSulam is a good starting point, and we have the Blueprint of Creation course here which is a short distillation of this text.

      Hello,

      What is “taking every thing the Creator sends me”?  Are corporeal issues that come thrown at us to give us a lack of importance ?

      • #440472

        Yes, as it’s written here:

        It is written, “There is none else besides Him.” This means that there is no other force in the world that has the ability to do anything against Him. And what one sees, that there are things in the world that deny the upper household, the reason is that this is His will.

        This is deemed a correction called “the left rejects and the right pulls closer,” meaning that what the left rejects is considered a correction. This means that there are things in the world that, to begin with, aim to divert a person from the right way, and by which he is rejected from Kedusha [holiness].

        The benefit from the rejections is that through them a person receives a complete need and desire for the Creator to help him since he sees that otherwise he is lost

          Thank you Gianni. My favorite Shamati and my ego keeps fighting.
