Hi, I have a problem with something. In the teachings we’re told that “The Creator / Nature / He / She / The Force” (I don’t mind the name, that’s not my problem). Anyway, that “The Force of Bestowal” WANTS us to “XYZ…” (change, feel, do, whatever). My problem is with the verb “To want”, as that is a desire. So… when I hear that someone wants something, that “Force” gets humanized in my mind… then I kind of see “The Creator” of Michael Angelo in The Sistine Chapel. Can you clarify why Kabbalah uses that verb? Does it really mean that a Natural Force wants something from me? (Gravity doesn’t, as far as I know).
Thanks.
Hi Maria,
You can think of it more in terms of a law of attraction rather than a desire. You can also say that if an apple is dropped from a building, gravity wants it to hit the ground. But in this case it’s clear it’s less of a want and more of a natural law, something that must be.
Since the Creator is the force of bestowal, He created us in order to receive that bestowal. And because His purpose is to fill us completely, he guides us to gradually become similar to Him and attracts us towards Him since this is greatest fulfillment a person can receive and the purpose of creation.

Hi Adelina,
This is a very special state a person reaches when they can begin to separate from their egoistic desires and begin acquiring the desires of others in its place. If I love myself, I cannot love others. The love for myself must exist as a foundation for love of others and it’s what brings us to adhesion with the Creator.
Thanks!

1)So Adam attained Dvikut and therefore brought the Science of Connection into This World?
2) Bnei Baruch Kabbalah is mainly the continued teachings of “Rashbi” and Baal Sulam brought forth specifically for “this time” ( the Last Generation), and currently through the work of Rav Laitman and the Love of Friends?
Thanks so much for all you are and all you do ❤️
Sometimes I experience great anxiety before asking questions and participating in lessons. This takes a lot of effort to overcome, and occasionally I feel paralysed. Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced this? Will this eventually change?
<p style=”text-align: left;”>Hey Ricki,</p>
We are all a bit different, and yes I have heard of people having such a reaction. There certainly are physical remedies which you could try like advised below, but also, a person in who studies Kabbalah generally becomes much calmer. They are learning about the one singular force in nature, the one that even causes you to feel such phenomena.This understanding gradually sinks in and the lesson becomes the source of your oxygen, the place you connect to the source of life. I don’t see babies who are less calm while in their mothers arms.
Best of luck!

Ricki, I experience it sometimes too. Not just with KabU but in other incidents too. I served as a council member for my city and would get anxious when I prepared something to say that I had to address. I could feel and hear my heartbeat thump so loudly and felt like everyone must see how nervous I was. I started calling it my warrior drum, lol. But the conversation that ensued after was always easier. I am far better and more comfortable writing to express myself and to communicate. Having naturally occurring conversations is much easier for me too. My advice is to not let it stop you. Breath through it. Inhale for a count of three, hold for a count of three and then exhale for a count of three.
Hi Adelina,
I am not sure I 100% understand your question, but I think I can answer with this…That the matter is always the will to receive. The ”light” is what activates, fulfills this matter. We don’t see the light but we see the reaction of matter.
Hope that helps, thanks!
Chris
