Sometimes, i feel so heavy towards spiritually and see a lot of obstructions and family responsibilities delays my studies. Does some too feels the same way? Or what should I do in such state?
Yes, but you have to give full support to your family. The Creator gave you that, and now you need to work from the state He gave. It’s like if you and I get under a barbell and I can lift 200 and you can lift 100. From your state, you might gain more than I, depending on your efforts. In spirituality, only the effort out of the particular state one is given, is relevant to spiritual advancement. Conversely, if I could have lifted 220 but only lifted 200, my advancement is zero. But from all of your possibilities, you have to give 100% – because your effort has to be an expression of how much you want spirituality, with as correct an intention as possible. This is all that is needed: an expression to the Upper Light that I, from my state, am doing what I can. It knows how to take care of everything from there.
As i read in the recommended reading the text of the Arvut, i’m having the thought that we are now in a Time that Israel is doing exactly the opposite of “Love your neighbour as yourself”. I mean literally: the land Israel is destroying their neighbours. I know its a language of roots and branches, but i suppose its not by coincidence that right now Israel is doing exactly the opposite of what was asked from them, and that on a enormous scale. Its probably a sign that we are in the last phase of the ego’s expanding force?
Among the people called Israel there isn’t love toward each other, and from this comes all other problems. That’s what all the Kabbalists write. As long as there isn’t unity among the people, the tap for the Upper Light is closed, and the world feels that there is a certain someone sitting on the tap of all good things. And so to the extent life feels bad, they feel like making life bad for this people too. Onto this visceral feeling in the other people in the world they clothe various accusations and justifications, but those reasons change over the generations, while what’s eternal is the hatred of this people called Israel at all times except when it does what it is destined to do, which is be “a Light to the Nations,” which means to be united as “one man with one heart.” If this happens, their neighbors will run to join that one heart, which will be a vessel for the Creator to fill all of reality. If they don’t unite, that is, instead of being this special person with a role toward humanity and their connection to the purpose of creation, I just want to be “like everyone else”, then the system of nature will come after me, in the form of peoples and other forces of nature, and deal with me harshly to show me that -no – have to behave differently, according to my special role, meaning the work in intention and connection.
I have a question regarding the reading text of week 2 Arvut (Mutual Garantee). When the text discuss on people of other nations were not qualify to receive the tora, and after the israel nation came out of egypt then they received the torah, and Abraham, Issac and Jacob was living according to the torah even before being given to the Israel nation, I am curious to know if this is still in the language of roots/branches? or is this in a regular human historic language? as we’ve learned so far that the torah is written in the language of roots and branches and is not historic, I was a little confused here, can you clarify also if there’s any way to distinguish when we read a normal historic text or when it’s in roots/branches language. thanks!
After starting Kabbalah study, I find myself more judging toward others, or you can say I am more aware of human nature. it’s not a good feeling though, especially between families members. it’s even more depressing in realizing that I am just as bad…
did all Kabbalists experience this? what’s your advice? thanks
Yes, it’s just a phase. Later, you’ll see with complete clarity that every deed by every one is an act of the Will to Receive, and there isn’t a shred of good in the world. It’s only that some forms of it please our Will to Receive, so we call that good. Some forms are worse for the existence of society, so we call that bad. All of it is equally the Will to Receive, without any difference – at least from the perspective of the Upper Force. But we start being fine with that because it’s all just the matter of Creation. As beginners, we’re coming out of the delusion that we’re ok because we’re good, to the more true realization that we’re not good but that’s ok because the Creator made us opposite to Him on purpose because then we can invert it and become like Him, and since we went through this, we will actually know Him, His nature, and this is a great gift to Creation.
I feel like I must have missed something. I saw a comment stating that the workshop was a great experience. Did I miss it? In this week I saw rules and other pre workshop items, buy… I feel lost
The story of the wording Moses gave to his people made me wonder if the fact that we can see the past, but not the future, is part of the restriction? Because it said the Creator didn’t want to specify what the people might gain in the future because then they would do the work egoistically instead of altruistically.
Is the future hidden from us because it is Light?
