Can pleasure/joy increase holiness or must experience suffering/hardship to move forward?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Depends what kind of suffering though. Hunger is suffering yet it serves us by preparing the place for pleasure.

[mrc s]

Is a klipot always outside something like a covering or can be an independent entity?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

It exists to counter Kedusha–there’s no light without a Kli.

[mrc s]

is our inner essence God?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

More correct to say our “root”. Our essence is the will to receive.

I guess making money and reaching spirituality isn’t analoguous fully: making money have to invest efforts and money first and it may not succeed but studying spirituality is immediately beneficial to the person right?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Part of the growth is a person rising above the logic and reason of reward/punishment and wanting to adhere to the Creator unconditionally.

[mrc s]

about the near way and the far way: if i perform the far way (lets say getting spirituality) is my past efforts wasted if i didn’t reach the goal like a business venture if not finished it doesnt reap the benefit even loss of investment.., or past efforts have the rewards?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Don’t understand the question, mrc….

[mrc s]

should we balance reason with above reason or always above reason?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Always strive for above reason. You will, by default, always have in contrast to that, your reason.
