Do we subconsciously make a contraction (Tzimtzum) or it’s already pass (the stage) and now we receive in order to receive again..?
Hi Mrc,
I have copied my answer to your question below as the answer speaks to both questions:
Kabbalists describe the state of creation before the emergence of this world and the souls that inhabit it. There, they speak of the tzimtzum. This is from above down, and is considered an action of the Creator. Besides this, there is also the matter of the tzimtzum from below upwards. Here we speak of the decision of the created beings to only receive pleasure for the sake of bringing contentment to the Creator. And here we speak of the realization of the freedom of choice of the created beings.
One thing I would add is that we never receive in order to receive. This is forbidden due to the initial tzimtzum from above down. Rather, we learn to receive in order to bestow. In this is the realization of the purpose of creation.

I guess I know how to make money easily.., it’s in the book of proverbs:
Eat and drink less
Sleep less
Do not love wine and oil (I have a feeling they reverse this so that love oil and wine is the correct one possibly)
Be diligent
Give to others
Do not slumber and clasps/fold hands
And do not love mirth
You can search in Google
Mrc,
If you are referring to the corporeal land of Israel, then within that nation there are those whose point in the heart has already been awakened, and those in whom it is still dormant. By default, those who are brought to the path have a greater ego. It is specifically the development of one’s egoism that prepares one to receive spiritual discernments. This is how the system works where we cannot build spirituality if not on top of our growing egoism.
