Ask Anything

Ask, connect, inspire.

If a person A does something for a friend and expects in return a result which would contribute to the desire and intention of another friend B for achieving a level of connection which would lead to more closeness to the Creator, and A would do it for the sake of B – is the deed Lishma or Lo Lishma?

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

If the end goal is contentment to the Creator, and I don’t expect any other result, it’s Lishma.

Hi Gianni

If the goal of creation is realized only in the speaking degree, how do Kabbalists understand UFO phenomena?could they represent another speaking intelligence, or are they merely forces, similar to angels?

thanks

Let’s wait until we see that there are provable aliens and not just something in the sky that is an as-yet-unidentified flying object. There are surprises ahead, and they will be humorous.

Hi Gianni,

there is something I  don’t understand…it seems like the truth is already there, … the truth that we are all connected, the path leading to bestowal. And in those short moments of enlightenment … it’s beauty beyond words.

But our lives  seem to be designed to reveal the complete opposite, opposite…and even though this is just a “play” , and it’s giving us such a distorted reality, corporeality occupies so much time, effort, and mind.

How can we simultaneously live in these two worlds? How can we make spirituality our internal goal, really stay focused on it, and maintain our connection to spirituality (especially in those times when it seems almost impossible  or life gives us more and more obstacles) and at the same time life up to what life is giving us to deal with, taking tvis game of life seriously ?How does it work to be in these two opposites at the same time?

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

In that you know you’re playing all the time. Either you’re playing the game of bestowal (in the ten) or reception. The problem is forgetting to play or that I am playing. Meaning I’m not playing, but going with my inclinations as-is. So, be in play every moment. Then both modes become increasingly spiritual.

Regarding the last night’s smwf session – an old question:

What does it mean to reject the light? Also with respect to the practical aspect.

Does it mean that I am hardening myself being stubbern and stony not letting myself be impressed of the light? Is this how we are ment to work in the groups – when we say “we receive only a bit we can bear and that in order to bestow upon the friends”? Thas would mean that I estimate that that, what the friend is expressing is not good enough, and me, the navel of the world, have to give it “better” to him back.

On another side: thank you for the session, my need to cope and understand TES increased with the ladt night’s session and I’ll go again through the course Blueprint of Creation.

A last short mention: is not about not being smart enough in the heads, but some people are slower in their heads than their hearts are – often because – and this the majority of people – they’ve suffered some traumatic experiences, which cause some delays in the mind. That doesn’t mean that the people are ‘fully incapable or sick’ The heart is faster by those people, and fully capable, and this confirms even the kabbalistic sages and you said yestersday about teaching through connection by heart.The new science has proven – the intelligence of heart is higher and wider than the mind’s one,

The best is to try to live in the friends. Rather than what can I do to be connected, and so on; what can I do to connect the friends, and so on. To be in concerns of them, my ego already begins lacking sustenance. And then I have more spiritual forces. To whatever extent, in any way, I think of myself, I weaken my spiritual forces, strengthen the forces of reception. The Screen is the ability to never descend into thoughts of self.

[Clara]

And I forgot to ask this:

What if I don’t attain the Sefira?

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

Everyone will eventually.

[Helen]

Hi Gianni

is it important to understand certain terms in order to advance? for example we have been learning about Hanukkah and it’s meaning, but I get very confused about the difference between Hanukkah and Machsom, how are they different and how are they related. if you can help to explain, that would be great, but I wonder how important it is for me to understand those terms thoroughly, or just some basic understanding is good enough?

thanks

Helen

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

It will take time to feel these terms inside you. In the meantime, try to understand. The Light works a bit, you feel a bit. You try to understand, the Light works, you feel a bit more. This way, you build the vessels.

There isn’t a strong connection between Machsom and Hanukkah. Hanukkah is after the Machsom.

[Helen]

Thank you, Gianni, what you wrote is very encouraging and calming for me.

I feel a strong yearning for a state where I only want to bestow, where bestowal feels so essential that without it life has no meaning. I had thought this kind of necessity might be Machsom, which is where my confusion came from I suppose.

Recently, both through corporeal situations and through time with my Ten, I often catch myself thinking: if I could forget about myself and truly care only about others, how liberating that would be. Ego doesn’t feel enjoyable to me. it feels painful, like wearing a garment with sharp spikes inward, hurting me with every movement. At the same time, I clearly see that I have no power to remove this garment; I feel enslaved by it. so is my yearning right now an egoistic yearning?

I sense that perhaps the beginning of the journey is simply recognizing this truth.  but I don’t yet understand how to relate correctly to this recognition in the work.

My question is: how should I use this state practically? Is it something to deepen, to hold, to turn into a request to the Creator, or simply to continue the regular work and let the Light arrange it over time?

thank you

Helen

If the ego is a garment with spikes inward, then jump above it, and live inside the friends. To the extent I am unwilling to exit the friends is the extent that these spikes really hurt me. Then, it’s either that the Pharoah doesn’t let us go out, or we don’t want to go out, but from either state, we need to ask the Creator for what’s next. Ask, ask, ask. It’s only that we get tired of asking, and so we stop asking. So, our spiritual work is delayed.

[Helen]

what does it mean to live inside the friends?

Hi Gianni

Rabash teaches us to work on loving the friends and seeing their greatness. I understand that through this work we eventually discover our inability to truly bestow, and that this lack becomes the vessel for the Creator’s help. Intellectually this makes sense to me. My question is about the ongoing fuel for the work: since my body only moves when it expects some benefit, and since I also understand that I must eventually discover failures, how does the method provide enough motivation(in addition to wanting to achieve the goal of  creation/correction) to work sincerely over time without collapsing into either despair or mechanical action?

thanks

Helen

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

You sometimes collapse into despair or mechanical action. That is, giving up or treating Kabbalah like a religion, in the meantime. But if in both cases you stay inside our system, there are certainly enough forces to continue until the Light works on the person. You’re also in a system of Arvut with your friends, more or less consciously. But it works. But one has to get used to depending not on oneself but the forces in the system to which I belong. It’s a transition that needs to happen. I don’t like it because I had hoped to attain spirituality on my own forces, so it’s hard to accept.
