“justify the creator” what is that mean?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Hey chekolog,

If there’s is one single force acting in all of reality, none else besides Him that is Good that does good, and  if I feel or see something or someone causing harm this indicates I am disconnected from that perception of “Good that does good”, or in others words I don’t justify that the Creator is Good that does good.

Thanks!

Chris

Is the path of Kabbalah descending first then ascend.?

 

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

You can say we’ve already “descended” from our connection as one soul and our “ascension” is putting those shattered pieces back together.

On the other hand, you may hear about “falling in order to rise” which are a person’s personal states and growth of climbing up the ladder. In truth, there’s no “descents” as in a person going back down, rather, it’s always being lifted “up” into the next degree which is just an addition of ego which needs to be corrected.

Is the Creators desire to give equal to the creatures desire to receive or more?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

It’s precisely proportionate.

We should judge others favorably but what about ourselves should we go above reason or honest sometimes critic ourselves? Thx

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Our nature is to criticize others, and if we criticize ourselves it’s also for some potential gain for the ego.

Baal HaSulam writes in Shamati that we should spend 23.5 hours in the direction of doing good to others/the Creator and half an hour a day criticizing ourselves.

But honestly, when we are in these scrutinies, it’s usually back and forth. One action towards the outside which then sheds light on my actual intention for myself.

Which is more stronger esau or jacob, the will to receive or the will to bestow?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

The force that created us, the will to bestow, will always be above the force of reception until Gmar HaTikkun, which even then, whichever force begets another, you could say will always be above it  since it’s eternally a consequence of that “parent” force.

Thanks!

What is being humble have to do with not showing love to others?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

This is a big topic but it’s a quality of the Creator here that we want to be similar to. It’s not the same humble you’re thinking of now.
