What is the oral Torah or oral teachings?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

According to the above, we should interpret what _The Zohar_ says about the words, “If his offering is a burnt offering,” “for My thoughts are not your thoughts.” He says, “Also, the written Torah and the oral Torah, which is _Malchut_, were emanated from that thought.” We should interpret that in the work, _Malchut_ means “the kingdom of heaven,” which is faith, while “Oral Torah” is called Torah. In other words, it is impossible to be rewarded with the Torah if one has not been rewarded with faith, as our sages said, “It is forbidden to teach idol-worshippers the Torah.” 

-Rabash

But there’s also this:

In spiritual attainment, the written Torah is accompanied by the oral Torah. The name “Torah” is derived from the word “Ohr – Light.” Thus, the written version of the book must be preceded by a preparation period, which is  the oral Torah.

The oral Torah accompanies the written book and is transferred from one generation to another by word of mouth, from a Kabbalist to another Kabbalist. It is conveyed through a chain of people who are capable of understanding the book.

-Rav Laitman

What’s it’s called if I want to do good so that I be do gooded?

Is it normal to be angry at G-d?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Hey mrc,

Yes. It’s better than being indifferent 🙂

At least you have some attitude. Of course, you should look and ask to change it, to find that there is None Else Besides Him.

I think G-d is not good from before untill we unite with him, in the meantime He’s just a Father who is very hard on his children

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Hey mrc,

It’s always love though. Love we don’t understand which would sound something like, “love of a Father” hints at the perspective of a child, who cannot yet identify what it means to be a parent.

Thanks,

Chris

Does G-d’s essence “the good who does good” or unknown?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

“Good that does good” is how the vessel perceives the light. We can never know the essence of the light itself without the context of our perceiving vessels.
