The entire world is on a path of learning to be more connection focused. In the beginning, a person doesn’t recognize one’s selfish intentions. The more a person develops oneself in the correct environment, it becomes clear to what extent one is opposite from spirituality, which is pure bestowal. However, these observations prepare one to be able to develop the desire for bestowal.

When does being within reason better than above it..?

[Joseph – KabU Instructor]

Mrc,

Rabash writes that regarding the connection with friends, it is better there that it will be within reason, meaning I see the greatness of my friends within reason. If this is not possible, the advice is for one to go above reason, meaning above one’s desire. This requires much preparation and a strong connection with a ten as the action is not simple.

Is fornication sin..?

[Joseph – KabU Instructor]

Mrc,

According to Kabbalah, the only sin is not attributing everything to the force called “There is None Else Besides Him.” In truth, before a person has some minimal contact with spirituality, there is no freedom of choice for sin because a person lives according to the thoughts and desires given to them from above.

Is covert offence or overts ones better..?

[Antonina]

‘Overt’ means out in the open, noticed, amenable to correction. ‘Covert’ means hidden from view so cannot be corrected until it becomes visible. ‘Overt’ then is available to correction, is in the light already (1 step). ‘Covert’ is hidden from the light, needs the light to be exposed first, then corrected (2 steps).

Kabbalah is the light that exposes (what is not in the likeness of our Creator), and carries the correction tools – “I have made the evil inclination and Torah as a spice”.

Mrc,

Kabbalists don’t speak of such things. Rather, they generally advise that a person should behave as a normal, kind, respectful person in their social circles. Anything regarding law is dealt with by the courts.

Does all people like when others love their posts in social media..?

[Joseph – KabU Instructor]

Mrc,

People seek different satisfactions in life. Some are like this and some are like that. No two people are the same.

Is lust sin..?

[Joseph – KabU Instructor]

Mrc,

Baal HaSulam writes that envy, lust, and honor bring a person out of this world. This is in the case that I see how my friends are greater than me; more spiritually advanced, and I want to be like them; serious, devoted, focused on the goal etc. I don’t want to bring them down, but I use their greatness as fuel to rise. Moreover, Kabbalists describe that the only sin is not attributing everything in reality to the single force called There is None Else Besides Him.
