My body is sinful, but how about material objects, there is a teaching that says that religion debase physical things and we should embrace/honor it as equal opposite of Spirituality..?

Hey mrc,
Spiritual development has nothing to do with physical or material objects being more or less important, meaning a person squandering that desire will not being them closer to spiritual desire. The approach should always only be to increase desire for bestowal.

Hello, Im a student who is just starting Kabbalah Reveal Part 2 and had a question about events in life. Ive just been recently separated from my family, it seems like my kids and partner did a total 180 flip on me and things just seem to get worse as we dont talk to each other either. I had been searching for this information and had been depressed that my partner could teach it to me but she did not which made matters worse. Now that I have separated from them I was able to find Kabu and enroll. According to many of the videos I watch This is all Havaya which Ive started noticing as I look at all the events that have happened that seem strange. Ive known for a long time Ive Ignored Him when he was obviously there but now that Im acknowledging and learning I’m nothing without Him the more awful events seem to happen due to me not being in equivalence of form
Is the pain I feel and the constant things my family is doing to push me away also Havaya trying to show me light and to use these events as a path to proper ascent by going through descent?
Or am I just trying to cope? Thanks in advance

Hey Michael,
Sorry to hear about these difficult times. I know that cannot be easy, but as we learn here, and as I’m sure you’re familiar with by now, all of it is aimed at bringing you closer. We won’t understand why it had to happen certain ways until later, but there is no doubt the direction is always “towards Him.” If it was revealed to us before we were able to make corrections on our own, then there would be no correction and all would be “within reason” called ego. Our goal is to rise above reason and enter into equivalence of form, as you mentioned. The path to this is always against our reason, otherwise there is no path.
Agreeing with His providence is never possible within the ego. You’ve found the path that will bring you to be able to justify bestowal and rise to that level. We’ll get there together.
Best of luck,
Chris

We study pticha to increase our desire for spirituality, what are the other reasons?

Hey Todd,
Right, it also lays down the principles and basic structures you need to be familiar with before you begin studying TES.

What does the surrounding light do?  What does the light that reforms do?
- July 20, 2023 at 7:06 pm EDT #326732Chris – KabU InstructorModerator
Hey Todd,
The surrounding light is what a person feels is pressing on their will to receive, like the “host” who wants to please the guest with more pleasures.
Reforming light is something more specific which Kabbalists say is the light that corrects the intention.
Thanks!

Is the birth of the world Ein Sof after the four phases of direct light?

This is before.

There is no time and space in spirituality.  Therefore we have all already been corrected for eternity?
- July 16, 2023 at 2:47 pm EDT #326404Chris – KabU InstructorModerator
From the perspective of the Creator, that’s certainly true. But our reality is one that has time and space sewn into it due to the accumulative nature of development and correction.
Thanks,
Chris
