Is Satan feel pain while in aretz?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

I’m not familiar with this expression.

[mrc s]

Aretz: earth

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

It sounds like you’re referring to Satan as some entity…This is now how Kabbalah relates to the term.

As you know, Kabbalah deals with just two forces that exist in reality–reception and bestowal–and there are many names for how these two forces interact.

Is a jew more superior?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

No. Humanity, creation is one.

• When G-d creates space for creation do he move to the sides or is omnipresent?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

That’s written beautifully in the Tree of Life poem by the ARI.

Is G-d and the Light androgynous?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

The Creator is what gives, this quality of bestowal. Creation itself is within Him and we feel ourselves as a result of Him removing Himself, concealing Himself and we would see light and dark not as the same. Our disconnection from perfection allows us to make the distinction in qualities–in reception and in bestowal–He created the evil inclination, His opposite form–but without an opposite, there’s no taste in contrast. You would have to ask then if there was no evil inclination, could one say the Creator exists at all?

Does a soul unchanging like a stone or evolving?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Our”material” does receive an addition–a correction of intention–and this is where we distinguish the difference between the will to receive and the will to bestow. Even though there is only Him, None Else Besides Him, we still discover our oppositeness to this, this is our evolution, this is what we feel as “change” but this is just a conscious addition, an addition to us sensing truth.

[mrc s]

if the sinners who go to hell in to come and it is parts of us then those go to heaven feel pain in the body parts that contain sinners?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Sinning, according to Kabbalah, is where there is choice. If one is not activating one’s free will, there’s no sin to be made–the definition of course choosing reception over bestowal.
