“There is none else beside Him.”
And
“For Her name.”
I am curious if there is a hidden meaning here between the 2 genders mentioned, as I believe both are about the Creator. If this is the case then please let me know this significance, why we did not just stick to “He” in reference to the Divine Creator. Thank you
Brendan,
Good eye.
The kabbalists don’t spare a word and every word is precise. Like science, H3O is not water, only H2O.
In this case, when the text says, for Her name, it is referring to the Torah.
It is enough to know for now that all of the word are precise and to yearn to be close to them.
Slowly, slowly everything will open for you.

I am trying to understand that connection I have a question, based here between the 2 above quotes:
“A person bears no responsibility for external or internal actions, including our doubts and descents.”
And
“Ascents can be dangerous on the spiritual path because the satisfaction we experience can cause us to lose our ability to connect them to the Creator.”
If we are not responsible for the internal actions, then why would they possibly lead us to lose our connection to the Creator? The Creator is guiding our actions to Him in these ascents, isn’t that correct?
Brendan,
Welcome to planet Earth 🙂
A 5 year old child playing in the yard. Does he prepare his dinner, did he arrange the play date, did he dress himself?
Of course not, his parent arrange everything and stand on the side making sure that he doesn’t get hurt while he plays.
However if the child sat on the ground and did not move then the parents would be worried that he is not advancing, so nevertheless the child is given the feeling of freedom and he runs and climbs and laughs and plays together with his friends and this is how he develops correctly and understands the world and how to operate in it.

So true prayer is a desire of the heart for the Creator. Should we also say “formal” prayers as well?
Si nuestra única responsabilidad son las actitudes e intenciones, y no las acciones externas, me pregunto ¿cómo puedo procurar actitudes e intenciones afines al Pensamiento de la Creación, de qué manera puedo propiciar en mi diario vivir actitudes e intenciones cónsonas con el amor incondicional, es decir, con el otorgamiento absoluto, que es el Atributo del Creador?
We have studdied from religion that there is Satan who can’t oppose God but can oppose men. Does this lesson means there’s no Satan or he is less powerful than God ?
Desire like smoking, getting drunked, prostitution are they normal human desire for most of the time once a person is deeply in them it’s become hard to go out if not impossible.
Shadrak,
In order to understand the worldview of kabbalah, you need to get very clear about how these forces operate.
There is one, complete and integral force that operates all of reality. There are infinite number of forces that are responsible for each and every thing.
For example if you want to successfully launch a rocket to space, you are dealing with hundreds of different parameter including the the gravity of earth, the gravity of other planets, resistance, force, etc. You can call gravity “Satan” since it pulls you down and you are trying to go up, but a smart, experienced scientist relates clearly to all these forces and parameters and learns to work with them.
If you want to understand your desires, there is clear science about that and we will also study the root of it all much more in further lessons.
First of all if you don’t want to do something, then hang out with people who also don’t want to do that and also don’t get in close proximity to the thing you don’t want.
What we do on the spiritual path is raise the importance of spirituality and share that with each other so that that is more important than other desires and then you are not fighting other desires.
No one has to tell you not to play with baby toys. Why? Because other things are more important to you now.
