does a kabbalist choose to do good more than pleasure?
- November 29, 2023 at 2:03 pm EST #336066Joseph – KabU InstructorModerator
Mrc,
It’s not a matter of choosing good instead of pleasure. Rather, the good actions one does leads to the attainment of the eternal pleasures of spirituality. So by choosing good, meaning bestowal, one receives greater pleasures, but this is specifically in his vessels of bestowal and not his vessels of reception.

what’s the analogy of a being or thing which is pleasurable but cannot have it for long at a time?
- November 29, 2023 at 1:53 pm EST #336065Joseph – KabU InstructorModerator
Mrc,
The reason a person cannot receive lasting pleasure is because of the tzimtzum, or restriction, which prevents the light of hochma from entering the vessel unless there is an intention of bestowal. Until we acquire this intention, which is the screen, it is not possible to attain lasting pleasure. This help from above ensures that each person will eventually come to the decision that they must attain the quality of bestowal.

in tzimtzum is g-d withdrew to sides or present everywhere?
- November 29, 2023 at 1:47 pm EST #336064Joseph – KabU InstructorModerator
Hi Mrc,
The tzimtzum prevents the created beings from receiving from the Creator directly. This in no way changes anything about Him, but only our perception towards Him. It follows that all concealment is only on behalf of the created being.

if a person more sin if more suffering?
- November 26, 2023 at 4:23 pm EST #335868Chris – KabU InstructorModerator
Hey mrc,
Typically a person who senses suffering is actually sensing their disconnection from the Creator. If one is already in spirituality, this would be a “sin”.

better extrovert or introvert?
- November 26, 2023 at 4:22 pm EST #335867Chris – KabU InstructorModerator
Hey mrc,
The intended use of our qualities and our character finding how those qualities need to be engaged in order to best serve the purpose of creation. The Creator knows how to do this, not us. That’s why His quality needs to rule our will to receive and not the other way around–the will to receive ruling us.
Thanks,
Chris

should we judge angels favorably?
- November 26, 2023 at 4:20 pm EST #335865Chris – KabU InstructorModerator
Hey mrc,
Everything in our reality comes from the Creator, He’s gives us the perfect recipe of “life” suited perfectly for our path. It’s our job to understand that all that He sends is for our good and when we deviate from that perspective and understanding, we quickly need to find our way back to “None Else Besides Him”.
