      Hello everyone.

      When I try to change my intention from egoistic (the desire to receive) to altruistic (the desire to bestow), I find that even when I try to be altruistic, my intention often ends up being egoistic. For example, I might agree to do a favor for someone who asks me (which should be altruistic in intention), but I do it so that this person will like me or so that I can receive a favor from them in the future.

      It seems that if I analyzed the intention deeply I found that most of them are ultimately egoistic.

      How can an intention be totally altruistic, when I do it, in order for it to be altruistic (is this not some kind of manipulation?), so that I get attributes that are more similar to those of the Creator (The desire to bestow).

      Thank you Seth.

        Miguel,
        I’m happy for you.  You are revealing the truth.
        This is already more than most of the humanity has reached. It is not a simple thing to discover the true reality of where we are.
        We will advance together on “two legs”.  On the left leg you discover this deficiency.  This causes you to have a need for the Creator to help you, and from this state you can have a true prayer.  And then the light comes and  next you will rise to a new  feeling of illumination and wholeness when you feel you are advancing and everything is possible and you can reach our sublime goal, this is called advancing on the right and then again a new larger deficiency will appear and step by step left and right, left and right we will advance.
        As we study the sources more you will understand all of the states that you are going through and we will learn together how to advance.

      What caused the desire to become independent in Phase Four?

      • #462054

        György,
        We learned that the Creator desired to create a creature and fill it with endless delight.
        This is called the “Thought of Creation”.
        From this thought necessarily extends that there must be some kli, some vessel to receive all of this endless delight and pleasure.
        So instantly there was the creation of some shape that can hold infinity.  However in that state, the Light of fulfillment is so great that the vessel does not feel itself, maybe we can talk about an embryo or even pre-embryo, a single sperm that contains all of the information that later will become “Albert Einstein” but today, it has no awareness.
        There are many phases of development after this until we get to phase four.  There are phases and sub phases and sub phases of the sub phases and so on.
        At phase four, the desire which not only absorbed all of the endless delight, but also has absorbed the quality of the Creator which is to give, to bestow, to be the one who Loves endlessly.  Phase Four who receives 100%  feels totally opposite from the Creator who is 100% to bestow, but she can’t bestow herself.  This appositeness causes a new spiritual action to appear called ‘busha’, we can translate it as shame.  What it means is that the difference in form naturally became intolerable and Phase Four made a restriction to stop the Light from filling her.
        She solved one problem, but creates another one!
        The purpose of creation is that she will be filled with all that He has to give and now she receives nothing.
        So she makes a calculation, now I will receive only as much as I can receive, at first just a little bit, only on the condition that when I receive it, I receive it with the intention that I am receiving only to give Him pleasure.  I am only receiving because he wants me to receive, not because I want it myself.
        This calculation creates the first Partzuf out of the phase four.
        Now phase four has three parts.  The rosh (head) which calculates how much she can receive, the toch (inside) which is the Light that now enters her clothed in her new intention.  And the sof (end) the Light that remains outside and presses to come in.

      Amen I understanding correctly that the ‘four worlds’ are the same as the four phases?

      • #456201

        Victoria,
        They are two separate things, however the four worlds and also the four parts of the soul and many other things extend from those four phases.

      From Olam ayn sof, we have to return to the Creator through Keter. Does this mean that this is done by the same path but in the opposite direction, from the endless word to ein sof (Zeir anpin, Binah, Hochma and Keter) ?

      Thank you

        Guy,
        From Malchut of Ein Sof we return back up to the world of Ein Sof like you said.

      Hello! My question is this:

      If the light is the same all the time, if it doesn’t change, and what changes is the kli, and the actions and the intention of the kli, why the light changes its name from light of wisdom, light of mercy and so on? The quality of the light changes when the actions and the intention of the kli change?

      Thank you!

      • #444545

        Daiana,
        All of the names are from the side of the kli.
        For example, you are you.  But to your daughter, you are Mom.  To your mother, you are daughter.  To your friend, you are friend, but you are always you.  The name changes according to the kli.

      How may one apply the phase of Olam Aynsof in a practical manner to address the potential healing of the current issues we see each day, such as racism, xenophobia, and other “isms”? Are these issues the result of one (or many) resistant to receiving the desire to bestow?

        Dina,
        Imagine that there is an invaluable gem in your pocket, but you don’t know about it and you go around living like that and then someone tells you and everything changes.  Just to know that the gem is in your pocket brings endless confidence and joy although nothing else has changed yet besides the knowledge of what is in your hand.
        Our reality is similar.  We are living without any real understanding of the reality that we are living in and we perceive it according to our shattered vessels – therefore the world feels shattered and full of problems.
        In actuality there is only the endless light of the Creator that you referred to as the World of Ein Sof.
        But in that world there is no you and me, there is no up and down, there is no changes at all as it says, “I the Lord do not change”.  It turns out that all of the changes are in the vessels.  And all of the corruption is in how we are perceiving reality.

        We are together here in the preparation phase of the wisdom of kabbalah where we learn about the system we are in, how it is constructed, how the forces operate and where we are in that system.
        After that we will work together in a practical way to increase the love between us and this force flows through the entire system.
        In the meantime, locate inside of yourself your will to receive and discover how it manages you and not only you but every other person, every bird and every tree, see how everything has the program of nature operating it and attribute it all to the Creator.
        Good luck and see you in the upcoming lessons,
        Seth@KabU
