how can we be humble and judge others positively if there is a commandment do not bear false witness?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

We will always lean towards judging others, and criticizing them–this is our nature. The commandment is to not want this as our nature.

[mrc s]

if being humble should we go above reason and say we are ugly when we perceive we are handsome?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Above reason is the state of wanting to resemble the Creator.

how to handle suffering sent by god?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

First, run to the sources and try to cleave onto their words initially, and then try to enter them emotionally. Kabbalists will only talk about the spiritual world–that it is the perception of the one ruling force in reality that only does good. When a person feels suffering, this is certainly only on the side of the receiver, therefore the change must occur there as well in order to perceive something differently. The aim at these times, from the Creator, is not to “cause suffering”–the Creator cannot do this, rather, to cause us to rise above the existence of bitter/sweet and into an existence of true/fasle.

is feeling entitled bad?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Any state in which we are separated from the Creator is bad.

Hey mrc,

How are you seeing them as the same, if I can ask?
