I am having a difficult time understanding what the light of a Hassadim is compared to the light of Hochma. Is the first just the intention to bestow while the second one actually is the quality of bestowal? Please help clarify.  Thank you.

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

The truth is there are as many kinds of Lights as their are Kelim (vessels). But Hassidim and Hochma are the two major forms of Light. Hochma is the pleasure of the fulfilment itself, of reception in order to bestow; and Hassidim is the fulfilment of bestowal. Not receiving to bestow, just bestowing in order to bestow.

Dear teacher I just wanted to let you know that the ‘check for understanding’ last question in section 2 has an error. Both answers are the same and need to be edited. Thank you

Thank you, Marz

Thanks, Gianni, for the explanation.

That is exactly how I feel. As less this world makes sense for me, the more I search for the meaning of life, and I can’t deny that I often feel sad and isolated from other people because of that. Is it considered that is considerate the vegetative level?

Why, when we climb the 125 steps of the spiritual ladder or when we have more knowledge, we become more egoist?

 

Please forgive me I have many questions.

Hi Helen,

No, we are considered to be on the Animate level in our world. To reach the spiritual Still, Vegetative, Animate and Speaking degrees is already something special. The spiritual Still is where I correct my properties of Reception so that I’m at least not negatively affecting my environment by my attitude towards others. I still can’t Bestow, but I don’t cause harm.

When we climb the spiritual ladder we become more egoistic because egoism is the Desire to Receive that also has the intention to receive for oneself, and all of the broken desires are this way, and ascending the ladder means getting more and more of these broken desires to correct, which means to first Restrict their usage with the intention to receive, and afterwards, use them correctly, with the intention to bestow. By correcting all the desires we achieve complete Equivalence of Form with the Creator. By these uncorrected desires we’re exactly opposite to Him, by inverting them we become similar to Him.

Thanks Gianni,

I was thinking how hard my life was all this time because of my wrong perception of reality.

On question 6, the answers are the same.

Could you let me know if become opposite to the creator, which is light is connected to the physical world with the darkness that we go through in life? I mean all suffering and pain and emptiness we feel.

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

Yes, all of our lives in this world are to accumulate enough impressions – and these are inevitably impressions of the suffering and futility of all our pursuits in this world, and the little bit of good is only because you can’t feel one thing without comparing to it’s opposite. That’s why the Upper Force also sends us good. But it is not interested in us feeling good in this world unless we will alongside it be striving to fulfill the goal for which our life was created, because it has a specific goal, and the Upper Force only thinks of this goal. That’s why for us what is considered dark is actually the Light, because the Light is was brings us closer to the goal, but what brings us closer to the goal is what takes us further from our comforts, doesn’t let us rest, causes us to ask “what is the purpose of living in this world?” In short, it pushes us towards the inner change in which we will truly feel the darkness as Light. We exist already in the Upper World filled with eternal sublime pleasures like a cat exists at a grand symphony. We don’t have the right vessels to enjoy this Light. Therefore, we need new vessels, which start to be formed during the study of the wisdom of Kabbalah, and then we’ll feel the wondrous world in which we exist.

Hi Gianni and Helen!

Dear Gianni, I love this response and have thought about it a lot. My question is about your excellent analogy: “We exist already in the Upper World filled with eternal sublime pleasures like a cat exists at a grand symphony. We don’t have the right vessels to enjoy this Light. Therefore, we need new vessels, which start to be formed during the study of the wisdom of Kabbalah, and then we’ll feel the wondrous world in which we exist.”

The image of the (animal) cat at a human event implies that cat cannot enjoy a quality of pleasures intended for human perceptions because, being an animal, the cat does not have the vessels, and therefore is not the kind of entity or being who can enjoy music. I infer from this that we “humans” in this world are not (yet) the kind of creatures whom might be able to enjoy the fullness of the “symphony” that is in the “wondrous world in which we exist.” So, did I understand that correctly? Must we, upon receiving the appropriate vessels for receiving the the delight of the Upper Light, became a different kind of creature than “human”?

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

Our bodies remain, they are the way we’re imagining the coarsest level of our desire, and beyond this we need to develop the connection with the rest of our desire, which will only be allowed to be connected with a correct intention.
