The simple fact that i want to change this world, is the proof that i’m still in my will to receive. Because if this world doesn’t give me pleasure, it “must” change in order to make ME feel better. So the desire to change it has nothing to do with what’s going on in the world, but everything with my egoistical need (its compulsive). Only when i don’t want to change it anymore, i come out of this compulsive desire and i become free. Is this a correct way of seeing things?
That’s mostly correct. I can’t expect an external change if I don’t change. Usually, I want to remain as I am, but I want to see a change in the world, a set of circumstances that is more desirable in my eyes. But I’m in a world that is a projection of what I am most fundamentally, in aspects of myself that are so persistent, I don’t even know they’re there. The world is actually my mirror, all of it. So, how would it change if I don’t change? And that’s what people always demand: “I stay as-is, someone or something should change.” Such changes will be illusory. Kabbalah thus directs a person to stop hoping for the impossible, and to focus on the place where change is possible. If I want to change the world, I have to change myself.
Hi Gianni,
When we experience disturbances, we are shown the existing egoistic states that are within that “need to become revealed” in order for me to correct them and draw the Creator to that correction. How does this work? is the only thing that I can do is connect with my ten above the disturbances besides handling everything corporeally? Or am I expected to correct something specifically?
thanks
I have to always state that the laws of our world are very clear and we should never mix spirituality into our corporeal decisions. There, it’s as if there is no Kabbalah. But afterward, connecting with the ten, above the problems, is the correction itself.
How then do we have to take decisions and act in the corporeal world? We do a lot of actions everyday, and i think that we have to act with the intention “AS IF” we bestow in order to bestow. Even if that intention is not possible, we can fake it. And at the same time we can observe how our will to receive pops always in. That seems for me a better attitude then just acting without being conscious of my agenda. And so in that way we can say that there’s also “Kabbalah” in our corporeal decisions.
An act of bestowal that one in this world has is that he helps a friend to perform an act of bestowal. An act of bestowal comes out of a person toward his friend, such that the friend understands how he needs to be: in bestowal. This is called an act of bestowal. And nothing else from one’s corporeal life is an act of bestowal, nor anywhere close to bestowal. I can flap my arms like a bird, but since there is no stage like that waiting for me in Creation, I will never fly, even flapping my arms for a thousand years; but a baby can wildly incorrectly exert in the direction of walking and eventually will begin to really walk because there is a form called walking that lies ahead of him in the plan of Creation, and it’s truly what’s next for him in his development. That’s why I need to be sure I’m making efforts that are toward a near next step in my development. That’s why Baal HaSulam advises in Letter 21 “not to correct your externality at all, but only your internality, for only your internality is destined to be corrected.”
Source: your lesson called ‘Deep Healing’ – a closed to my hear friend of mine, according to these current moves and leaps we’re experiencing before the congress (also because this time the preparation is so serious and deep) cliped some important things in yor lessons, and there are so many strains I have (unfraimed, foggy) questions – you know probably my issue meanwhile – but some things are so far clear I can askbabout:
You’ve made the lesson based on old’ recordings of Rav’s lessons from 2003. In your lesson is about yearning (very probably for that what tehe Creator wills from us)
So now: you talk and I am catapulted to the time of first 10 within YG program.
I came with a tremendous yearning – for spirituality, for Truth of God, for Peace, Unity, for Arriving, for Giving, for Sharing all this together so that even the world would turn out ‘right then’ into that, what God’s Will is to turn to! And came into that ten I was put to – and it was like they didn’t see that! That yearning had to disipate, to disolve, because they wanted some specifically from me, about envy and honor, and they didn’t turned arround to catch again that what I have come for – I’ve even lost and forget it by myself – in interaction with them.
Like they have only sucked it away, but never gave smth back in the same direction!
In that lesson you taught – is about yearning. How much liw and below should I have gone? – because in my experiencies I went under them anfd lost myself, while they didn’t give smth back – if Creators greatness, His desire, the purpose of creation, etc. ? Their yearning seemed to be only to have controll over me, and to suck me out – and MY yearning was like swalled by them with no outcome, only for chewing and being satisfied!?
And I ask myself even today – how would I have done better !? – that my yearning would have become THEIR yearning!? Since I am here for others forward coming, verdammt nich mal ! (damn it!), not flr myself !?
It feels to me Ic ve again havent brought it to the point – and I ‘m cirsed to alwasys keep trying ! (You know a bit my problem of expressing and framing – I wish it’ll get solved!)
I actually don’t know any of your past, and in fact do not want to keep track of specific student situations. You, for me, are the deficiency in your question, in this moment. Now, we need to justify everything from the past: None Else But Him did all of that, arranged it that way for me. Until it is ALL justified, and ascribed solely to Him, is one even on the current degree, but instead stretching a degree we should have moved on from, like Silly Putty. You also didn’t have then something of your own. That yearning was from Him, the opposition you perceive was also from Him, and everything you’re thinking now is from Him.
Yearning for the Creator can only be increased by receiving impressions from the friends. You can go off of the importance that you find in them, or increase the importance in them and, in turn, receive more importance – but only the yearning that comes to you through them counts for you. Whatever yearning is native to me is ascribed to the Creator who put it in me. And that yearning is only to pass it on to others.
How to pass my awakening to the friends? I want my young son to be impressed with physics or Shakespeare or Mozart. How can I awaken a desire for it in him? There are thousands of ways to push it upon him in a way that he’ll instantly reject it – possibly permanently – and there are only maybe one or two ways to attract him to it. You have to find the way – independent of how you might like to dish it out – that your friends will want to receive it willingly. To give something in the way I want to give it, is not bestowal (but instead, is written down as an act of reception).
That’s part of the art of this. Look, if I really want a job or to charm a romantic partner, and I’ve decided that succeeding is more important than my pride or anything else, then it turns out that the human is built with a capacity to gauge others and adapt to their whims. It’s just that usually I have multiple priorities, such as taking care of my pride or other things, and not just one priority. My priority should be just one thing – to consider that every day I’m auditioning for my place in the ten – because my spirituality depends on their approval of me. The same pride that stands in the way of this, stands between me and the Creator, as they write, “He who is proud – he and I cannot dwell in the same abode.” The friends are holding the key to my prison cell. If they’ll want me to enter spirituality, I’ll enter spirituality. It’s hard to accept, but until a person embraces it wholeheartedly, they’re in a holding pattern.
I try to understand the concept of Reshimot, but i’m not sure if i understand it correctly. Can we say that Reshimot is comparable with the concept of Karma in eastern teachings ?
No, Reshimot are the spiritual degrees that lowered down in their lower part into the degrees below them, which provide some opportunity, by way of example, of how to come to Equivalence with the Upper Degree.
That’s strange, because in the research that i did, this is what I found in Kabbalah Info: « In Kabbalah, karma isn’t really a term that’s used. But the idea that your life unfolds according to a deeper spiritual continuity does exist. Rather than rewards or punishments for past actions, Kabbalah speaks about reshimot—spiritual records or imprints that carry the information of your soul’s entire journey.
These reshimot shape every new state of development, guiding what you experience next—not as payback, but as a precise system designed for growth and correction. Nothing is random; everything is part of an intelligent process leading the soul forward » #kabbalahinfo #kabbalah #wisdom #spirituality #karma
Like protons and electrons make up the atom, residing in their separate clouds, men and women make up the soul of Adam HaRishon.
How do we convince the Creator that if He gives us delight and pleasure, it will bring Him contentment?
