Ask any question and get an answer from a KabU instructor! (for tech questions see “Tech Support” Section)

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Does the animate have independent will..? Can they be called creatures too..?</p>

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

By definition, the animate degree acts only according to the given laws with no desire to resemble the upper force.

[mrc s]

In phase 2 we only give light and do not receive any Light..?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

I’ll reference my answer below as well. But correct, phase two, Bina, is the desire to resemble Keter.

 

[mrc s]

So in phase one we receive the Light and then also in phase four after that we receive it again in the end of correction.., so three times we receive the Light in full..?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

It’s incorrect to say “we” receive the light. This is the description of the four phases of direct light, not the phases of the will to receive. These are actions of the light, not of the vessel.

 

[mrc s]

Why the light depart with the bitush in the tabur.., why not stay in tabur but not enter sof..?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

The goal isn’t to stay in one state or another, but to continually move through the changes in order to reach the final goal.

[mrc s]

What is the difference between tagin and otiot with respect to the partzuf (creature?).?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Impressions or “memories” of the light in the vessel and leaving the vessel.

[mrc s]

Is the tzimtzum after phase four..?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

This is the decision of will to receive to not receive with the intention to receive for itself.
