ParticipantWhat does it mean to feel the thoughts of the writer? And is that the goal for all to feel our friends ?

ModeratorRight, when we read Kabbalistic texts we should immerse ourselves in it completely, letting their thoughts be our thoughts as much as possible. We want to be as close to the state they are in, the state they wrote from and this means we need to nullify ourselves. I don’t know if it’s accurate to say we want the thoughts of the friends, but we certainly do want to feel them. The more we feel them, the more we feel them as important and this is a means to the goal.

ModeratorYes. In our times it’s “choosing the right environment” and later we’ll see where it is that makes us truly independent of the Creator. This is already in spiritual degrees where we discover our action between the Klipa and Kedusha.

ParticipantIs there a righteous person who suffer? is it different that sin?

ModeratorSuffering can’t be defined just as pain. It’s like they said about Rabbi Akiva where his flesh was being pulled from his body and he said that he could not miss this opportunity.

ParticipantIn the allegory the servant and the master, the servant gets more pleasure for the suffering he experiences in the past so do we better seek suffering much so that we are rewarded more in the future?

ModeratorIt’s not that we need to “seek” suffering like I mentioned below, but the idea that the suffering indeed is a place for greater revelation. Great lack = greater revelation.
