Hello
From TES, second chapter, Part 2, page 96-97. The light of Néfesh is the light of the circular vessels. Can we consider Néfesh as Part of the surrounding light?
Thank you
Adelina
It’s best to take Baal HaSulam’s definitions as-is. Here’s how he defines Surrounding Light:
Ohr Makif: Any Light that is repelled from reception in the Sof of the Partzuf, due to the weakness of the Masach. It surrounds the Partsuf and pressures the Masach in order to be clothed within it in the future.
In this past Young Group class, the Creator was described as the Force of Nature. To me, the term “Force” suggests an impersonal energy. Can a person ever develop a personal relationship with the Creator? Does the Creator know us and love us on a personal level?
Me, by myself, He feels toward that “me” the way I feel toward, say, a single cell within my precious baby son. The cell isn’t important, but the collection is more important than anything in the world. The cell itself, if it feels itself alone, is a cancer cell; while the healthy cell doesn’t feel himself alone, but part of the whole. In the whole, it feels it’s life and existence. We’re like cancer cells and thus we don’t enjoy our existence, nor does the Creator. And that “I” isn’t the true me either, nor does it have any eternity to it. The true me is in my incorporation in the whole reality. That’s where I truly express what’s unique in the root of my soul, and where I discover the Creator’s love for “me”.
When students offer up complaints [about their tens] as questions, I don’t understand pedagogically why the scenarios are entertained as if “real” and given so much attention. Shouldn’t our time together be focussed on connection activities and changing our perception of reality so that we stop imagining flaws in that which has been designed perfectly to draw us closer to the Creator? Aren’t there more experiential exercises that could help us shift into living inside the new realities between us instead of so much C &A (Complain and Answer). And it is not lost on me that this is a complaint offered up as a question, so I guess pedagogically maybe it is all perfect already?
Hi friends! I have a question, in the book ‘The Path of Kabbalah’ (p. 304-305 section Proper Study, Thoughts, question “How do our thoughts affect our environment?”), Rav Michael Laitman mention: “And so it is with everything in our world: if we regard everything through corrected desires, we will be able to see the spiritual objects around us reflected in corporeal objects of this world.”
Could you give examples to distinguish and know in what kind of perception of the spiritual worlds we find ourselves?
Thank You!
We don’t find ourselves in the spiritual world but in the corporeal world. We see the branches of what’s in the spiritual world. The roots are of a different quality for which you have no examples in your life experiences and not even in your wildest imaginations.
In the Grad class meeting on July 6th the article that was read in the beginning. What is, The Sabateur was in the Flood, and was Putting to Death in the work?…. What book can that be found in?
I have been wanting to join a group of 10 for a while now. It does not seem to be materializing.
🙁
I can’t attend Thursday night meetings because of another commitment . It seems like the process is that a person starts attending graduate level classes and the group of 10 gradually naturally joins a group of 10?
For all the importance that this school places on groups of 10, it is really hard to figure out how to do it. Maybe it’s like a Jedi ritual!
