Does suffering because of past karma..?
- May 9, 2022 at 12:57 pm EDT #288539Joseph – KabU InstructorModerator
Mrc,
The Creator only ever gives a person pleasure. Depending on the development of that person, and to what extent they can acquire the intention to bestow, then a person feels the influence of the Creator as good or bad. Any suffering that a person reveals is in order to correct oneself and come closer to being able to perform actions of bestowal. The closer I come to spirituality the more I realize that everything that happens in my life is for my own good.

Is the reward for good behavior at the time of act or in the future..?
- May 9, 2022 at 12:28 pm EDT #288536Joseph – KabU InstructorModerator
Mrc,
There is no direct perceivable correlation between person’s good actions and the reward or the good results that comes from those actions. This is done intentionally in order to give room for freedom of choice.
If we would clearly see that all of our good actions bring good results and that our bad actions bring bad results, then we would cling to the goal for egoistic reasons.
Spirituality is about inverting my nature to be in order to bestow, meaning to be outside of myself in favor of the Creator and the friends.
In the future it will be revealed how much a person gained from their efforts.

Why the tzimtzum is called gadlut..? If so which is the katnut one..?
- May 6, 2022 at 2:24 pm EDT #288221Joseph – KabU InstructorModerator
Mrc,
Katnut means that I do not need anything for myself. Rather, I am content with the ability to carry out the work, to perform spiritual actions–actions of bestowal.
Then, one is given a state of Gadlut, which is only in order to strengthen his decision in katnut to not work for himself. In a state of Gadlut, a person receives additional forces for the work and is able to perform every action with gladness. But this is only an addition, and the primary form of work must be in Katnut.

Are we behind daleth..?
- May 6, 2022 at 2:16 pm EDT #288220Joseph – KabU InstructorModerator
Mrc,
Behina dalet is the point in which the lower one begins to perceive its own existence and how it is in contrast to its root, being bestowal. In this stage of development, it discovers itself as a desire to enjoy and reveals its relationship to the Creator and how the Creator relates to it.

Get some sleep!!
- May 10, 2022 at 12:21 pm EDT #288648AntoninaParticipant
Most of us are asleep already, this is a dreaming-like state. I don’t know if this person is talking in his/her sleep or awaking. There are only 2 calls: a ‘call for Love’, and ‘Love’. How do we answer each? This instructor is doing an amazing job answering each call with Love. Congratulations!

God give us only pleasure in the End of correction right, right now things might not be perfect..?
- May 6, 2022 at 2:07 pm EDT #288218Joseph – KabU InstructorModerator
Mrc,
It’s written that the upper light is in complete rest. Meaning even now, if we had the vessel capable of receiving the pleasure from the Creator, then we would immediately receive it. There are no preventions from above. The only thing separating us from the eternal fulfillment intended in the end of correction is our inability to correctly relate to this fulfillment, meaning for whose benefit do I wish to receive it? This is our whole work. How do we come closer to the upper force, and by that to bestow to Him through our reception of His abundance?

Is studying kabbalah makes you more happy or not..?
- May 10, 2022 at 1:38 pm EDT #288665AntoninaParticipant
Nothing and nobody can “make you” anything. It is a tool. Metaphor: a hammer. You take a hammer and build a house. You take the same hammer and hit a person over the head. I mean no judgment here at all – like building a house for somebody else, as a slave; like hitting a person for saving another. Does the hammer make you happy?
When used with the intention to serve your “best interest”, that is the best interest of the whole brotherhood, and with all your might (heart), the kabbalah is a very powerful took.
- May 6, 2022 at 2:04 pm EDT #288217Joseph – KabU InstructorModerator
Mrc,
A person who studies the wisdom of Kabbalah begins to experience a wide array of emotions and perceptions. It’s true that the correct implementation of the wisdom brings a person to the understanding and the reason for the lack of fulfillment in life, and teaches one how it is possible to attain true lasting happiness. But this is a process, and a person must learn how to stabilize the correct intention to the method within their heart.
