Ask Anything

[Gil]

Ask, connect, inspire.

In the sources, the word Demand is used quite frequently. Such as the Demand for the Reforming Light. Why is the word Demand used instead of Ask? Demand has quite a different connotation in my mind. Is it not disrespectful to Demand something from the creator instead of Asking because the granting of a request is his will not mine?

Hi Greg,

These are different approaches to the Upper Force, and both are welcome. The thing is, the Upper Force doesn’t receive a request from me as from a man. It’s disrespectful for a man to come to me and demand anything. But when my baby demands, it’s actually adorable. I’m even proud that he is learning how to stand up for himself somewhat. It’s not in his powers to disrespect me, you understand. The Upper Force, in the best case, treats us as a baby from whom it adores any request or demand, the more specific and cogent, the more contentment we give the Creator.

Thank you, Gianni.

1- How to come to a correct deficiency to bestow?
2- Is it by asking the Creator to give the friends the deficiency or I should pray for the deficiency for myself?

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

Both can work, and there’s more scrutiny required for both. But generally, a prayer outside oneself is more important, much more effective.

Why is Hebrew written from right to left? Thank you!

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

Hebrew is first of all a geometric representation of how the Lights enter the Vessel. And this occurs from Right to Left.

The ego is a slippery thing. I think that in many cases, it’s both consciously repressed, (because we like to fool ourselves into being better than we are), or unconsciously. In any case, it keeps us from properly receiving the Light. Is it a good prayer to ask the Creator to reveal our deficiency or should we just assume the ego is there and work on strengthening our intentions toward bestowal?

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

It’s best to work toward the good. So, try to reach spirituality. This, by contrast, reveals more of the ego. Only the revelation of evil (the ego) is missing since to the extent of one’s awareness of it, one can’t bear it, and has a true request for change.

[Greg]

Thank you Gianni. You are always very helpful.

Is there any significance to the blue and white color scheme of KabU and Bnei Baruch or is it just Ravs favorite colors?

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

There are spiritual roots to colors and their effect on us, as with everything. But that wasn’t foremost in the color scheme. Blue is simply a nice, neutral color.

Good morning, This morning I read a passage from Attaining the Worlds Beyond pp 152. It reads: ” ” If human beings do not have the desire to regain the power to return to rule their own desires, then they have attained true love of the Creator, rather than a mere subordination to Him.” If I were to replace the word desire with ego in the sentence would it mean the same thing or was the word desire used intentionally? I am a little confused with what this passage is telling me. I have to desire the change/correction in me or nothing happens so isn’t that a form of control?

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

Hi Greg,

You could replace it, but that’s not what the Kabbalist wrote, so I wouldn’t. This text is pretty challenging. It’s for beginners but as you advance you discover more and more depth. Here it’s talking about layers of sensation of the Creator’s control over me, and my corresponding level of agreement with that control. There are many fathoms to this control, which one has to discover, agree with – as His control is hidden in ratio to my lack of readiness to accept it. In the meantime I’m in a completely illusory feeling on control over myself and things around me.

[Greg]

Thank you Gianni!
