Questing about “Shamati 12. Lishma (for Her sake)”
Why “Her sake” ? I thought bestowal is always masculine, something like “for His sake”. I am a bit confused about this.
At the end of the year some questions and best wishes for all the friends, instructors, all who make it possible to operate Bnei Baruch so to make it a living, learning organism, for those who seek the wisdom of Kabbalah.
How to change my relationship towards the friends in order to connect the point in the hearts?
What exactly do I anticipate from an action?
What efforts can we make in our lessons (or after it) to reveal the Upper Force?
How can we sense that we are connected in one system?
How can we, in our connection, increase the demand for correction?
Questions, that are already answered by our experienced instructors, but the un-experienced are not that wise, so they keep on raising these questions, hoping they will reach that level also.
Always grateful for the abundance of knowledge, wisdom an patience you are giving to us, the students, I wish you all the best for the coming years.
In awe and respect.
What do we need to build our common kli?
Hi Paul,
How to change my relationship towards the friends in order to connect the point in the hearts?
I have to change MY relationship towards them. Their greatness exists already at a deeper frame of nature than the frame I’m currently viewing. The only question is if I can work beyond the frame I’m seeing. That will bring the frame in which they are great, closer as it activates the Upper Light.
What exactly do I anticipate from an action?
That I would like to make it an act of bestowal, with no result, except for a result that will be in the friends, for their benefit, without any feedback. The fact that were I able to do that there would be something, I don’t care about that. I’m looking for an act of pure bestowal, contentment in the friends and the Creator.
What efforts can we make in our lessons (or after it) to reveal the Upper Force?
Ask: what do I need to do inside to be the perfect example for the friends? What will connect them? We are, afterall, internally connected whether we want it or not, and every move in me affects them and visa versa.
How can we sense that we are connected in one system?
By acting like we’re in one system.
How can we, in our connection, increase the demand for correction?
Envy, lust and honor bring a person out of this world. Envy the friends, and set an example of the perfect friend on the path.
Questions, that are already answered by our experienced instructors, but the un-experienced are not that wise, so they keep on raising these questions, hoping they will reach that level also.
We don’t perceive questions as the same questions when they’re asked by a different friend. There are only so many questions that can be, but they’re new if coming from a different Kli.
Can language corrupt our soul, or our point in the heart? Since we are – or to become – on the human, speaking level. How to deal with alternative facts, or on the other end, telling thruth in the form of a lie? What is the best way to deal with speaking from your heart, and seeing disruption sometimes as a result?
Usually – not good to speak “from the heart”. To reveal what’s in my heart? – What’s in there besides egoism? Better to make a calculation: now – calculatedly – I am revealing x, y, and z because of such and such reasons. And not that I just reveal what’s in my heart because it is there in my heart and wants to come out. No. Nothing gets out without an intention for why I should bring it out. The reason can never be me. The reason has to be because it would bring contentment to that which is outside me.
Dear KabU, How do we access the study material which Mike refers to at the end of the lesson relating to Dec 8, 2022 – Ibur – the Process of Creation | Graduate Class? There is no link or attachments in the ‘study material’ on the grad platform. thanks Lyndon S
Probably this, and from this page you can find all lesson materials topics: https://kabbalahmedia.info/likutim/T0Agcu45
Hi Lyndon. I asked Mike about this. He referred me to Beth Shillington. Here is her reply:
“I don’t know. I would write to [email protected]”
Is it (always) clear how to determine a desire, which one is to receive in order to bestow and which one is to bestow in order to bestow? In other words, can we sense the quality of the desire? Are we capabel of that, or are we seeing only our limitations?
Hello Paul. A desire is just a desire. The “in order to” part is the intention attached to that desire. In our present state all of our desires have the intention of “in order to please me”. In spirituality the intention is “in order to please anyone but me”. There are two main degrees of this spiritual state – bestowing in order to bestow, and receiving in order to bestow. To actually know what this means we will have to enter the spiritual world and feel it ourselves. That is our goal.
Hello Sauli, here’s a reply from Zohar:
Welcome to the Graduate Environment. We are very glad you are with us.
The GE currently consists of six interactive components, and you can use all or some of them.
The heart of the Graduate Environment is the Young Group. You will be receiving an email assigning you to your group soon as these courses start every few months.
In the meantime, you can participate in all the other classes we have to offer (you choose how many of them you want to participate in)
Tuesday’s “A Sage Speaks” taught by Seth Breitman covers Baal HaSulam’s articles, and he has been going through the Preface to the Wisdom of Kabbalah lately.
Thursday’s “Grad Class” with Mike Kellogg explores aspects of Kabbalah that Kabbalist Dr. Michael Laitman taught during the week.
On Sunday’s, “Sunday meeting with Friends”, hosted by Zohar, is a chance to ask any questions about our work and study in kabbalah and learn all sorts of fascinating topics.
and, “Weekly Portion of Light” taught by a rotating lineup of top instructors brings amazing Kabbalistic topics relevant to our path.
Also, you have access to the “Forum” where you can post any questions you have, and they will be answered by KabU instructors.
In the event you missed, or want to watch again, a particular class, all are recorded and archived, click on any of our courses, go to past lessons and you can access them.
As you have heard, joining a ten is a very important part of Kabbalah. Once you have been assigned to your Young Group, about 4-5 weeks into the semester, the YG will be divided into tens and you will work with this 10 throughout the course.
Use the Graduate Environment how it works best for you, some, or all.
Enjoy and Connect
