In our tens, what are we actually supposed to be bestowing to our friends (besides love)? Is it bestowal if a friend doesn’t want or ask for something so they have no clue that another friend is bestowing but the bestower insists that they accept it? If someone bestows something we do not desire, but we accept it does that make it that the person receiving is actually bestowing? I have read we should taken on the desires of our friends, but what desires are acceptable? I would think it means spiritual desires, but I’m not sure if that is true.
You mainly bestow to the others your good attitude. This is the hardest thing because I can give an object to one that I hate, but changing my heart is something else.
Is it bestowal if a friend doesn’t want or ask for something so they have no clue that another friend is bestowing but the bestower insists that they accept it? It’s possible to bestow without the other knowing it. For example, my small child doesn’t have to know how I relate to him with great love. But it can’t be bestowal if it is rejected because then it’s not according to the friend’s desire but according to my desire.
If someone bestows something we do not desire, but we accept it does that make it that the person receiving is actually bestowing? Yes.
I have read we should taken on the desires of our friends, but what desires are acceptable? I help them realize their spiritual desire.
to further clarify and ask , in this morning’s lesson the question was asked about what the actions of bestowal and then the follow up was about rewarded the light that reforms through faith and then Rav answered him and at the end said until he is reformed and if he doesn’t he will be thrown back to previous states. Is this why when a person reaches Lishma, that he worries all the time that he is doing write that he could not be adhered to The Creator even for one moment ?
Hi, Gianni!
I have a question that’s not letting me sleep and I would like to hear your explanation. What is the difference between the screen in the Peh of the Partzuf and the screen in the Guf/Tabur. I get the general difference, but something is still eluding me. Both screens restrict with an intention – the screen in the Peh restricts with the intention to scrutinize how much it can accept in order to bestow. What is the intention in the other screen? Why does it restrict the light from spreading to the Sof?
Thank you!
Hi Magsy,
They’re extremely different. The Screen at the Peh determines all the Light that can be received in the Guf. The Screen in the Tabur of the Guf is practically a wall beyond which no Light descends – because below, there’s only the possibility of being Hafetz Hesed, delighted in mercy, in relative equivalence via disuse.
It’s because there’s a part in the Partzuf where the light of Hochma can’t be received. But some light of Hassidim can be. It seems as a wall to light of Hochma but in the end it’s still a membrane. There’s a calculation and it’s result says we can’t receive Hochma down there right now, so it stops it.
How do we get the material for Rav’s lesson before the lesson?
Is it better to read something technical such as pticha when overly emotional?
How do people in the north east usa time zone deal with the morning lesson. Do we live it the next day? Do we read that preparation for sleep from that lesson after the lesson?
I believe you can write to boardworldkli@gmail.com and ask to be added to the lesson materials distribution.
That’s the general advice, to read something more cerebral when you’re more emotional, and visa versa. It’s not an absolute law though. One learns where the heart desires. Generally, though, I think so much live content is provided that one doesn’t have a lot of time for elective reading. It’s best to go with the flow of the friends – calls, lessons, etc.
Yes, there’s no perfect solution to what to do in other time zones. Do the best you can. The Creator apparently needs workers in those zones as well.
