Is the temple more holy than the unrighteous?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Are you referring to a physical place?

[mrc s]

yes

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Kabbalah does not refer to “temple” as a physical place but rather the corrected desire.

[mrc s]

which is more holy: the temple or the prophets in the time if the temple?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

“Holy” just refers to spiritual–existence above the will to receive for one’s self. If one makes great efforts to overcome, from being greatly separated, this is a greater soul. If one is more pure, they are closer to these corrections. This only has to do with the root of one’s soul.

When do a person perceive G-d as Shekinah and when as G-d and light?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Hey mrc,

The different impressions the Kli feels from the light are what distinguish within the creature different “names” of the Creator. “When” just has to do with one’s personal development and the root of their soul.

What is Shekinah?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Hey mrc,

This is the name of the Creator, the place where the Shochen is revealed–the Kli for His revelation.This is the right connections between us, the correct conditions between us for Him to be revealed.

Thanks!

Why can’t a homosexual couple achieve shechina between them?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Hey David,

It’s been asked a few times and there’s no clear answer. The Rav doesn’t ever really get into it and usually just answers with something like, “the light will do its work according to the desire of a person.”

The Kabbalists of the past don’t relate to it in any kind of detail which makes sense since Kabbalah really only deals with the spiritual correction of the ego, and this is also the answer we’ve heard from Rav many times.

This is just me speculating now, but wherever we are now at this time in history/human development it’s exactly where the Creator wants it and it’s what is necessary for our correction. As long as we’re acknowledging that He’s leading us at every step, then we should be aware that His guidance is purposeful and accept whatever He provides–whatever thoughts and desires and needs we feel are from Him and are goal-oriented. Besides that, I don’t think there’s any more to speculate. We just do the work and He will show us what we need to do at every step.

All the best!

Chris

Is heaven include the material or only the spiritual?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

“Heaven” is what will occur between us when we are all fully corrected instead of the hell that exists while our egos rule us.
