Is the Spiritual the past and the physical present or both the present?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

The present moment is all we have. The past is something we can use to “reflect” on.

Is there a being who wants to destroy others even itself?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Hey mrc,

No being. Just the force of the ego which only considers itself in an integral system.

So humans are not G-d’s opposite then?

[mrc s]

Is evil wanting to destroy others even itself and good wants to benefit and to receive only means that?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Hey mrc,

That’s pretty accurate. I wouldn’t say it wants to destroy itself but it’s similar cancer which destroys the host organsim. The ego can only consider itself and in an interconnected and interdependent this is detrimental.

Thanks

Chris

The opposite of G-d must be a being who is fully evil, we’re not like that, we just want pleasure?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Evil is defined as that which wants to receive as opposed to be similar to the Creator. We were created opposite. It’s written, “I created the evil inclination, I created the Torah as a spice (to correct that nature)”

Our nature wants to receive the pleasure, the question is with what intention?

Thanks!

[mrc s]

Does G-d needs us to give?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

This is His nature. Like Kabbalists tell us, He wants to do good, but to whom? The nature of the quality of love necessitates something to receive the good.

I’m starting reading Talmud Eser Sefirot where can I found the dictionary for the names like Ohr Elyon and Tachtonim etc.?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Hey mrc,

If you have Kabbalah for the Student, there is a glossary there. There is also “question and answer” in TES. There is also a half-finished glossary in the last volume I believe.
