Hi Gianni, I have 2 questions about article 69, Shamati:
1. what is the Meaning of the “the coming of the Messiah” in Kabbalah?
2. The article refers to the link between internal correction versus external correction, for me there is a bit of a language, confusion, because in the German translation it sounds as if all the internal corrections need to be accomplished first, before any external correction could follow, whereas I understood from the English translation, the internal correction needs to come first, but bit by bit through the internal corrections the external worlds may change,too. This seems to be fundamentally different, because in the first way it would mean we have to wait for all the internal corrections to be made before anything can change in this world, where is in the second version I understand that each internal correction may also have an impact on the external worlds. But maybe I’m totally on the wrong track with both?
There’s an approach by which either could be correct. We can say that internal corrections are all that is upon us to do, and we can’t correct anything from the externality. Moreover, we must correct all that is before us, as if completing the whole correction. All that we could imagine to correct, internally, is only our next degree. But after we make that correction, a new set of broken pieces is revealed. The external is a result of the internal corrections taking place a bit at a time.
The messiah is a force of correction that corrects all of humanity, aims them at the Creator.
I’m beginning to feel that nothing is more important than working towards the connection between the Creator and the created beings. I only focus my thoughts on wanting the revelation of His Godliness
I wish to ask, in the ten, instructor’s meetings, when reading and morning lessons with Rav, should I focus my thoughts on the connection between us?
I need some advice. Thank you
Yes. On the connection between us. What should we ask the Creator now, for our connection. Every time, the state we are in, is a response, and from that state we ask again.
We need to ask Him for the revelation of His Godliness. I feel like that is what we want, to attain His Name. Coming to feel His goodness.
Like I was reading Shamati 3 that says… what we do not attain we do not know by name. This is so because the word name indicates attainment.
Is that a right scrutiny?
That all of reality was made only as a place for our choice. We have the option to ask or not ask the Creator for anything. When I ask, and the resulting state is a response, do I ask again, or I’m fine with that N+1 state? Say I ask again. Now am I fine with this N+2 state? I choose where the correction starts and stops. That’s why it’s a long process, because I don’t need it to move forward yet.
Hi Gianni, how can we work out how to deal with this momentum of having to flip back into corporeality with all the beastly rules and exploitation going on, after moments of connection and contemplation in the spiritual realm? I wish to be able to give the right credit to both, but especially after moments of connection, reading articles, that really change the inner states or perception, I feel this flip back into corporeality to be rough… like leaving a place of color and going back to a black/white place. With which inner preparations should we take this “ flip” and the possibly felt, inherent “loss” of connection / “colours”?
So the ten agrees to do things a certain way. People show up and do what they want. I point out we had already determined to do things a certain way. People get defensive. Wash. rinse. repeat. Nothing changes. I feel like I would get farther herding cats. How do I increase importance of the goal in the ten?
Is the answer something like things are not simple and will never be simple and will always require constant attention in the ten because it is a living system and things will never stay the same?
