      Hi Gianni,

      this is from blog post from the Rav on Nov 16, 2010 @945 am “Later, when a person begins discerning it, he arrives to great disappointment. Therefore, the method of Kabbalah, before anything else, stresses the need to unite, although it must not occur in the corporeal plane (between you and me). The entire method is aimed at the necessity to unify and correct the soul, meaning that I must unify these two parts in my perception.”

      Question: From the statement above and especially the part in bold, does it mean then, that i can unite with people spiritually and not necessarily, corporeally with them? an example , can i have a corporeal disagreement with a corporeal entity ( not one of the ten ) , and i can fix this relationship spiritually without addressing it corporeally?

       

      lmk. thanks

        No, Nature’s laws are the Creator’s laws. That is, His law spreads over the whole of reality. And the corporeal level demands corporeal actions. Once a problem already reached this level, I have to deal with it at the level that I encounter it.

      Hi again 🙂

      Shamati 201: …However, in spirituality, there is a discernment of Klipot (shells), which guard the body and sustain it. This is why it is hard to let go of it. This is why we see that it is easier for secular people to abandon their body, that they do not find heaviness in their body…

      I am a bit confused with this part, the body here is the ego? It is easier for secular people to abandon their egos?? No heaviness in their ego? In spirituality Klipot guard the ego?

      Can you please help me understand this passage? I am completely lost here…

      Thank you in advance!

        Yes, if I want to die for my country, relatively no problem. If I want to go meditate on a mountain, even go without food, my ego supports such actions. But if the reason is that I want to work only for the sake of the Creator, then the ego will resist with all its might. No, need to believe or not believe – this is how it is and each will see that.

      How? And what does this mean? Can you please explain it as deeply as possible?

      “A student can use His Rav’s attainment Of the Creator’s greatness” (23 Nov. notes from the lesson)

      Thank you!

        If I value the source that is giving me more than I value myself, then he can take me on his shoulders, like a kid, that I’m not big yet, but for the time being it is as if I’m big.

      Hello Gianni,

      According to Kabbalah, the future determines the past. How does present fit in this equation? I guess that present is the meeting point between those two, but what is its “role” and does/how it affect any of those?

      Thank you in advance!

        Working intensely with the present, instead of living in the past and future, is how we draw closer to the good, future state. We have the perfect work before us in the ten. We need to see what we need to do, and ask for help to do it.

      Hi, I was looking for a reading and/or a lesson that would help me understand what “shells” are. I seem to be having trouble understanding the concept. Best, Tom

        It’s any pleasure that I try to receive directly, with a Restriction, Screen, and Reflected Light – in short, without an Intention to Bestow to the Upper Force.

      Hi Gianni,

       

      a lesson i attended recently mentioned that . or i heard that ” Zeir Anpin , is the Creator” , what does this mean? and how di i relate to ZA?

       

      Thanks

      • #337709

        Just relate to the Creator and it will reach the right address. We’re not yet realistically facing these different degrees. Zeir Anpin is the upper degree to Malchut. We’re parts of the broken Malchut. We need to connect so that we’ll perceive this picture instead of our shattered one.
