      Hi, Gianni,

      Related to Maria’s question and to something we learned in the YG (“Mighty Rock of my Salvaton”, where it talks about the force we should not receive fuel from): When I am trying to connect to my friends and bestow, should I be worried that they might receive whatever I want to give in Klipot? Should I try to protect them from that by refraining from bestowing something that I think they may receive in their egoistic vessels? Or should that not be my concern, as it doesn’t seem to be a concern to the Creator. Should I try to bestow like the Creator, without care where it goes, trusting that the system itself will not allow the vessels of reception to receive any light that is not meant for them? Or should I try to make the calculation when, what and to whom to bestow?  Thank you!

        There’s something to all that, but generally all I can bestow is the importance of the goal, my example; and with this there is no room to harm them.

          Thank you, Gianni! One more related question has come up. Do we attain the work in bestowal individually or is it something that appears simultaneously to all of us in the ten like this team-building game where the people in a circle all lean back into each other’s lap at the same time?

          No, each according to their efforts, the root of the soul…

      In our tens, what are we actually supposed to be bestowing to our friends (besides love)? Is it bestowal if a friend doesn’t want or ask for something so they have no clue that another friend is bestowing but the bestower insists that they accept it? If someone bestows something we do not desire, but we accept it does that make it that the person receiving is actually bestowing? I have read we should taken on the desires of our friends, but what desires are acceptable? I would think it means spiritual desires, but I’m not sure if that is true.

        You mainly bestow to the others your good attitude. This is the hardest thing because I can give an object to one that I hate, but changing my heart is something else.

        Is it bestowal if a friend doesn’t want or ask for something so they have no clue that another friend is bestowing but the bestower insists that they accept it? It’s possible to bestow without the other knowing it. For example, my small child doesn’t have to know how I relate to him with great love. But it can’t be bestowal if it is rejected because then it’s not according to the friend’s desire but according to my desire. 

        If someone bestows something we do not desire, but we accept it does that make it that the person receiving is actually bestowing? Yes.

        I have read we should taken on the desires of our friends, but what desires are acceptable? I help them realize their spiritual desire.

      How do I know if Rav is talking to me or some other aspect of the world kli I am not in touch with?

      Why does the Creator need workers in different time zones?

      • #390078

        You’ll have to ask Him. I don’t know why He didn’t put us all in one place but handpicked different people from all over the world.

      What is the difference between “states” and “degrees” ? is there a difference ?

      Thank you.

      • #390090

        States is a more general term. I’m always in some state, but not on a spiritual degree.

        Sure, I need to have fear to maintain a degree; and I need to have fear in advance, to ever reach a spiritual degree.

        to further clarify and ask , in this morning’s lesson the question was asked about what the actions of bestowal and then the follow up was about rewarded the light that reforms through faith and then Rav answered him and at the end said until he is reformed and if he doesn’t he will be thrown back to previous states. Is this why when a person reaches Lishma, that he worries all the time that he is doing write that he could not be adhered to The Creator even for one moment ?

      Hi, Gianni!

      I have a question that’s not letting me sleep and I would like to hear your explanation. What is the difference between the screen in the Peh of the Partzuf and the screen in the Guf/Tabur. I get the general difference, but something is still eluding me. Both screens restrict with an intention – the screen in the Peh restricts with the intention to scrutinize how much it can accept in order to bestow. What is the intention in the other screen? Why does it restrict the light from spreading to the Sof?

      Thank you!

        Hi Magsy,

        They’re extremely different. The Screen at the Peh determines all the Light that can be received in the Guf. The Screen in the Tabur of the Guf is practically a wall beyond which no Light descends – because below, there’s only the possibility of being Hafetz Hesed, delighted in mercy, in relative equivalence via disuse.

          Thanks, Gianni! The problem I’m having is that I see why the screen in the Peh needs to exist, but I can’t see why this space for Hafetz Hesed is needed. Why does that part of the Partzuf have to remain empty? And isn’t this screen/wall similar to the Kashiut in the screen of the Peh?

        • #389635

          It’s because there’s a part in the Partzuf where the light of Hochma can’t be received. But some light of Hassidim can be. It seems as a wall to light of Hochma but in the end it’s still a membrane. There’s a calculation and it’s result says we can’t receive Hochma down there right now, so it stops it.
