Hello
So im hosting a zoom this week, continuing with the Topic of Lishma, following the morning lesson on “from the Love of the Creator to the Love of Man” it say’s “why would the Creator care if one slaughters from the back of the neck or the front, the mizvot is only to cleanse mans heart”. It doesn’t positively say that he does not care, rather, it was a question? I know that kosher animals have arteries in the front of the neck, while a horse for example has a second artery in the back and one in the front, showing that if it was slaughtered from the back, it would still suffer longer. And a lamb or cow cut at back would suffer, So i feel that he does care, And in the blog post by Rav titles “Signs of Kosher animals” he says, that the animals must be slaughtered correctly so it does not suffer. I have my own version, why would the Creator care if one circumcise (slaughters) on the 8th day ? It was discovered that on the 8th day a male baby has and extra 10% blood only on the 8th day and goes back to normal after. Can you tell me what does the Baal HaSulams question mean? Since these actions have a meaning and benefit in the physical world? How does this relate to our latest themes of lishma and love of friends?We have the level of forces and the level of this world, never the twain shall meet. Either we go to Shulchan Aruch and it will explain all the details in terms of this world, or we talk about Sefirot.
Also, though seemingly pain is a consideration in one place, as with the slaughter, when it comes to the circumcision and all the more so, birth, we see the opposite, that from great suffering comes great good. So, we can only get to the bottom of these things from the level of their Upper Roots in Atzilut.
When it says, “the whole world is included in the Arvut,” (article below) does this mean that as Kabbalists align more closely with the upper forces, they practically help the world shift from unconscious to conscious alignment with those forces? Like helping people around them all the time but not knowing that they are helping.
Practically speaking, a person who works with these forces does good in the world and helps others. However, this help is not from a human or egoistic standpoint, but rather by acting in ways that align with the Creator’s will—to fulfill the ultimate purpose of creation.
Or does this mean that the “world” included in the Arvut refers to an entirely internal process, where the external reality is a reflection of one’s inner corrections?

Baal HaSulam, “The Arvut” [Mutual Guarantee], Item 19
Rabbi Elazar, son of Rashbi, clarifies the matter of Arvut even further. It is not enough for him that all of Israel be responsible for one another, but the whole world is included in the Arvut.
How does josephs brothers represent parts of bestowal?
can i compare joseph to the shamash candle that is the servant of the others?
happy Hanukkah
No, I don’t want us to get confused with that. But there’s something like that. Dr. Laitman says:
Joseph is righteous, the foundation of the world, because only through connection, through Yesod, do we attain all other upper spiritual qualities. In our work Joseph is the most necessary and closest feeling to us, a connection in a group. Through the point of connection, we begin to recognize the quality of Joseph.
The Torah tells how the brothers sell Joseph into slavery. They do not understand this quality yet because they are higher than him and are not yet familiar with the quality of Joseph. They consider Joseph a younger brother and do not agree that he should stand out.
The main thing about Joseph is that he brings us to connection. Joseph does not have his own individual quality; he combines all other qualities in his yearning for connection, and through it, to the Creator. Joseph is a common quality in which all the other brothers are included, and they are clarified due to the growing will to receive, that is, Pharaoh.
Therefore, from the quality of Joseph, from Yesod, comes sustenance, the force of life, and the force of attainment. The revelation of the Pharaoh also happens through Joseph. At the beginning of the Egyptian slavery, the Pharaoh was kind and it did not feel like slavery at all. On the contrary we developed, and all this with the help of Joseph. Joseph is the beginning of the attainment of good and evil in our whole life, and therefore he is closest to us.
The quality of Joseph is implemented through our connection. He is called “everything” because all the qualities are combined within him and through them connect us with the Creator. Attaining Joseph is attaining unity, the essence of our connection. This is the first step that takes us out of this world and leads to the attainment of the Creator, the upper, spiritual world.
Hi, is a reshimot like a story that needs be read from the very beginning to the very ending, in order to fulfill it?
I understood that we are desires, clothing in bodies for a lifetime again and again to learn. Now, that raises two questions for me: What are we really then? Is there explanations to this from quantum physisc or else what a desire is – like energetic waves, particles, a collection of quantum particles?
And what, if this energy of a desire gets condensed to a living creature? Is Malchut just a spiritual idea, or does it have a physical correlate? Is it „dark“ around us, because in terms of physics we live in this condensed and limited state?
The desire stands behind everything you have in this world. Behind the atoms, quarks, energy fields… anything you’ll say, it’s all this world, and behind this world is the desire. Everything is phenomena of the desire.
