Man have a soul, spirit, body and mind? Doing good to the body and mind of others Im familiar but how to do good to their soul and spirit.?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

This body is temporary and the soul is eternal. We know how this world works–birth>death–it’s a cycle of the changes happening in the upper world–in the spiritual. Doing good is considered doing good to promote the purpose of creation, of correction.

Thanks!

G-d is Spirit does He have a soul?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

We can’t speak from the perspective of the Creator, we can only interpret what our vessels perceive and we perceive His good, His bestowal and nothing beyond that. We come to know Him through, “by Your actions we know You.”

[mrc s]

Does the Creation the body of G-d the Light his mind and Himself is His Spirit?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Hey mrc, I’m not following the question here…can you rephrase?

[mrc s]

Is the physical world the body of G-od?

Should I focus on praying to others as praying is different from doing good, whereas doing good to self first?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

“Doing good” is wanting good for others. Kabbalah doesn’t speak about actions in this world. However, in order to reach the ability to have the right intention, we first have to bring others (in the ten) closer to us, and this is what shapes us and forms us to be bestowers.

[Malka]

OK both must be for the Creator, Receive as well as bestow. I can see how bestow may be pleasant for me, since I see the receptor enjoining receiving, but in the case of receiving; I must, use, consume the gift in order to enjoy… Isn’t have that enjoyment  a large portion of egoism? In other words, I bestow with no regards  or expectation but when I receive whatever later on, how can I not to balance internally ?  I will feel the pleasure of rewards more than receiving… No?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Hey Malka,

It’s not “consuming” the pleasure, it’s just felt in our vessels since this is what we pass to others–this is what bestowal is. Reception is us trying to stuff the pleasure into our own vessels. Bestowal is using our vessels to ask for bestowal which the act itself is the intention. The pleasure is in becoming like the Creator and this is what fills us.

Thanks!

In corporeality I chase pleasure for pleasure sake, do in spirituality I chase bestowal instead of the Light (pleasure)?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Correct!
