where do i read the sulam commentary?  i read online it is in like multiple volumes.. has it been translated?  i can’t find it anywhere.

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

I know this is currently be translated and finished and this was the first to release so far. I can’t find it at Kabbalahmedia.info library for some reason, but it’s here as an ebook. This was released just a few weeks ago so there is probably some catching up to do. I would occasionally check the kabbalahmedia.info “sources” for updates to BHS.

Is it better to oscilate between running and returning in Binah or not use Binah altogether?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

The inclination should always be to elevate Malchut to Bina.

Is maaseh merkavah malkuth ascent to hochma and maaseh bereeshit to keter?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Sorry mrc, I’m not familiar with that interpretation. I understand that Maase Bereshit are texts about the creation of the world–the whole creation, and its system where Maase Merkava are texts that tell about the work of governance of the systems of this world.

Cool

Does G-d two beings: He and His Creation?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Which in Gmar HaTikkun returns to: “He and His Name are one.”

[mrc s]

The wick is the symbol of the physical, what symbol is the hottest part of a flame (the blue)?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Hey mrc,

I’m not sure if I understand the analogy…

[mrc s]

Is the body (egoistic desire) because of the law of pleasure and pain a prison?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

The law of pleasure and pain is just one of the conditions set in our reality that operate the will to receive. “Body” in Kabbalah is just another word for “desire” and typically does not refer to the physical body in this world.
