      Hi Gianni, thanks for answering all these questions:) I understand our substance is that of a lack. What is the substance of a ten then?

      • #450449

        The substance of the ten is also the Will to Receive but if we’re talking about a spiritual ten, it’s a Will to Receive in a form of collective bestowal, where friends work as a system, through the Arvut, in order to bring contentment to the Creator.

      Hello Gianni,

      The Creator is concealed —- Concealed from what?

      • #450422

        From the Created Being, of course. From everyone except those who study the wisdom of how to reveal Him.

      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

        • #450337

          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?

      • #449877

        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?

        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.
