Hi Chris
Is Ner Dakik rhe light that gives life to the corporal body?

Thank you

Adelina.

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Hey Adelina,

Yeah, you could say that. You would also hear it being described as the smallest amount of pleasure being used to keep us alive, a reason to wake up in the morning allllll the way up to the biggest pleasures in this world –  they are all just a “thin candle”.

Thanks!

Chris

Located in the your library in the Letters of Baal HaSulam, who is he writing to, close friend and student?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Hey Steve,

He’s usually writing to his students. I say usually because I know this is what I remember but I also have a memory that maybe he wrote also only to the Rabash, but I may not be correct about that.

Thanks!

Chris

What is the difference between God and Holy Spirit? Is The Light Holy Spirit?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Hey mrc,

The best way to answer this is an example from our world. You have mother and father, but they are also hero and nurse, protector and healer, punisher and lover etc.. There are all different names given to describe the different impressions on the will to receive from the upper light. One way it’s like this, the other way it’s like that but it’s always None Else Besides Him.

Thanks!

Chris

How do we know what our friends desires are so we can include them in our hearts?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Hey David,

Exactly. If we invest more in them, if we co cern ourselves with them more, want to care about them more, we will be more sensitive to those things – like a mother who knows what fulfills her children – from the small things to the big  things. You will feel their desires in you, but it’s still you feeling but this is how we build within ourselves this new device which will be ready to give to others. Tzimzum, Masach and Ohr Hozer.

Good luck! ❤️

Hi, I have a general cosmology question.

Things in our world are a representation of a branches in the
upper world. I’m understand that the Creator is infinite and created an infinite world. We are specific creatures with specific features. Our world developed in a certain way. Why this particular way exactly?

As I understand this problem, obvious solution is that there are infinite worlds with different physics laws and creatures which evolved differently. These worlds are umaginable to us, but they contain the same way of evolution toward bestowal to the Creator.

Is my thinking correct?

[Joseph – KabU Instructor]

Hi Lukasz,

In the writings of the sages they sometimes ask if the way of our corporeal world is truly the only way the Creator could have made things.

What they determined is that there is None Else Besides Him, and if we are discovering ourselves in a certain way and in a certain reality, then this must be the most beneficial set of conditions to reach the goal .

There could not be another way to bring us to the point of the realization of our freedom of choice and the decision to adhere to Him in love and bestowal.

The only thing we can change is the speed of our development, and that depends on our attitude towards the process of correction, which comes primarily from the inclusion in the environment.

Regarding your second question, the concept of multiple universes is not mentioned in the wisdom of Kabbalah.

[Sagar]

In the end, they suffer from both sides—from the increase of pain due to the multiplicity of movement, and from the regret at not having the possessions they need to fill their empty half.”
– Chapter 2: The Boundaries of Joy (From Chaos to Harmony)

Diminishing such desires is obviously not the goal of Kabbalah, from what I have read and experienced, the greater our ego, the more we can realize that there is something greater out there that we might be missing out on. But as a side-effect (not necessarily a negative one) of understanding this concept and maybe practicing it in a 10, do we move beyond such desires? Do we not require such materialistic desires to move us then?

[Joseph – KabU Instructor]

Hi Sagar,

Until the final step of the way, we will continue to work against the ego which grows in accordance with our spiritual development.  Moreover, a person need not concern themselves with their growing ego.  Rather, ones focus should be on building the correct environment; the books, the group, the teacher, so that each time one discovers a greater ego,  he can immediately be pulled in the right direction and to be reminded of the importance of bestowal and connection.
