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!

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.

In the poem of the Tree of Life the Light fills the entire reality, where is G-d in the picture?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

“The Emenator” which is sensed by the Kli as the upper, simple light.

Is there eternal punishment/damnation?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Hey mrc,

The program of nature develops us only towards greater connection and correction. If we deviate from this, it is still towards correction and never “backwards”.

Does people stop talking to G-d and prophecy because of the destruction of the temple, why not built the third temple maybe we can communicate with Him like the Patriarchs and Prophets again.

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Hey mrc,

“Temple” is the term referred to the Kli, the vessel which reveals the Creator. The construction or ruin of the temple only refers to the inner connection between people who arrange themselves in attitudes of bestowal.
