Hi Gianni, please refer to below excerpt. if the Creator created everything for his glory, isn’t his bestowal (towards us) driven by self-love (for his glory)?

 

“Every one who is called by My Name, I have created him for My glory.” This means that the whole world was created only for the glory of the Creator. The lower force is the will to receive, which claims that everything was created for it—both corporeal things and spiritual things—all is for self-love.”   (Shamati 50)

thanks as always

No – it’s said that the Torah is written in the language of people. It’s written in the way that when we understand it correctly, it will benefit us. And we will become like Him. “All the Torah is the names of the Creator” – meaning by taking on these forms, we gradually become like the Creator.

Hi Gianni, sorry if I am slow on this, how to interpret  “for My glory” correctly?  you probably already told me but I am not understanding it. thanks

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

It means do everything for the glory of heaven, the Creator, the Upper World, bestowal – and by this you will become like the Creator. What that means for you will be a good enough definition for now.

Adding to this… what is the importance of internal individual work as compared to the work in the ten? I feel, the ten is the sacred space to connect, grow, learn about bestowal. But as well it feels like an organism of itself, and I am just a part, and every part is needed.. So, what importance should I give individual internal work, and how to relate it to the work in the ten?

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

I need to always be in my ten, even if we’re not in a physical meeting. If I’m not located in the center of them, I’m not doing any actual spiritual work. The physical meetings are mainly to establish and renew that connection.

What’s the purpose of corporeality in terms of growing through the wheel of ascents /descents?

It understood that as we progress , in terms of descents, our external challenges will more and more turn into internal challenges. And that if we keep our focus on being more aware of ascents and descents, and of seriously trying to adhere to the creator, the work will become more of an internal one. I feel, though, the external distractors which corporeality brings to be much more violant and harder to grow above than the internal ones.Therefore… can it also be the other way round… ? Or is it just a sign of spiritual „immaturity“ to have to go through those external challenges?

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

That’s how it seems. I’m in a spiritual world, actually. Now, I can watch myself, and see how I am toward every pleasure. And the main thing is how I am toward my lifeline to the Upper World, my friends.

As I was  reading the TES lectures , I wondered about what the  term „substance“ means.

I understand,  there is Existence out of absence refering to the will to receive , which is our substance. Because there is no wish to receive in the creator. Since the creator is everything, and we are opposite to him in our nature, then is our very substance that of being a lack, a void, (like a mini black hole)?

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

Yes. One which needs filling and can only really get it through the wisdom of Reception (Kabbalah).

[Kimadigital7]

Sometimes we have the strength to do the work, and sometimes we don’t. Do we really need to do? How do we interpret the doing part?

And if this is the work of the Creator, what should we look for in the Creator at every moment in order to remain aligned with His plans? Because I feel like we don’t truly need to do, but rather to align to aim at  what the Creator is doing. And we need to cultivate the need for the realization of what the Creator is doing.

[Gianni – KabU Instructor]

First we need to agree. And to identify all the places we don’t agree. A Kabbalist is always in great joy because he limits himself to wanting and being happy with exactly what the Creator has given. And even if nothing changes on the outside, the inner filling is less and less, with regard to one’s spiritual path. That’s so that one would actually – finally – come to the spiritual Restriction.

It’s happening to us anyway, soon we’ll see that the whole world feels it. Might as well do the inner work to receive it correctly, and advance spiritually.

What is the inner work? and How do we do the inner work?

Thank you!

Check what I wrote above. That’s already inner work if you’re doing it, and checking that you’re doing it. To agree with the Creator is impossible because what he wants to do with you is not something you already agree with and go toward on your own. Therefore it’s great inner work.

[Kimadigital7]

How do I ask questions not like something I want to know but something that came through me to my friends?
And also, do I need to feel that my friends are also doing the same?

I got an impression. Is a vessel also a perception? A perception of knowing what the Creator is doing, agreeing with His plans and becoming a partner?

If I’m really connected to my friends, thinking of them, their advancement, then my questions will be from them. Really you’re asking “how do I be the one at the leading-edge of the society, the most bestowing, the most nullified, the most adhered to the teacher.” He can ask from the center of the ten, the center of the society.
