Hi Gianni,
after several hints I’ve gotten from our environment – I will read all the psalms with all my heart and spirit I am given, not for me, but for the Truth and Justice of God, for Israel and for the arrival of Messiah. I remember a video of you giving guidance how to read the psalms, and especially concerning music – can you share a music link might be the right accompany for my humble prayer?
Thank you!

No bother. I’ve written this in a moment of fading out everything and on another side not ‘liking’ every music arrangement I know of us until now which could accompany what I intent to do. Silence is actually the best. All the best.

Hi Clara,
Such a text has its own inner music one might know if they’re on the degree of the writer. We’re not there, but an alternative soundtrack is nevertheless dissonant, in my opinion – which is why I think silence during reading and during prayer is better.

When we receive some pleasure in the work we tend to disassociate ourselves from the friends. What advice can you give us not to fall into the trap of the desire to receive when we receive some kind of feeling?

Ask for a Screen. Usually, we’re only working above the suffering; here we have to work above pleasure too.

This week, we are learning about dissemination in Young Group. I had discussions with my Christian co- worker, i mentioned, how everything comes from G-d. Including our thoughts, sins, He hardened pharaohs heart etc.  And basically most are just programmed, of course he says…but  we have free will, we choose to sin!
Whats a good analogy or way to explain Kabbalistic free will? I think , we have free will but there’s a catch, kind of…? When do we really realize it?

Hi Brad,
In the middle third of Tifferet is where we realize true free will. The truth is we can’t explain Kabbalah logically. We can give a person one of our books because with a book you’re alone with the author, not confronting a fellow human. Then, if they come back to us enthusiastically asking for more, they may have a Point in the Heart, in which case they may be able to understand something; if they kind of don’t mention it afterward, you also have your answer. But especially one who has a religion that is giving them satisfaction, I wouldn’t try to disseminate. It can even cause us negative advancement.

1a – Is the intention and action the same?
1b For example, I heard that everything is taking us back to that state of oneness, and whatever we do must align ourselves according to that. So if I try to see that my friends are thinking to achieving bestowal and behind or within that thought of achieving bestowal is an intention to be one with the friends. It is just like there is no separation. Is this calculation correct?Â
2- Is it ok to see the effort the friends are investing to exist self-love? And to appreciate them? What am I appreciating? What is appreciation?

1a – No, there’s an action, and on top of that I need to add an intention
1b – I don’t know. Usually, I connect with the friends in order to give the Creator contentment, etc. The Creator should be the beneficiary, in the end.
2 – I want to see the friend in a perfect state. Only I’m in self-love. I’m blemishing them, so they look that way.

I got an impression from a video I watched when Rav said the desires are only to realise the action. And I was asking myself, what is the action? During the Sunday meetings with friends, we read an article from Rabash, it says and I quote…”In other words, this is the purpose of the act, that the created beings will receive delight and pleasure.”
Is the action the ability to bring delight and pleasure to my friends?
- October 28, 2024 at 2:53 pm EDT #395673Gianni – KabU InstructorModerator
There’s the Creator’s act, and our acts. His was certainly to bring us pleasure. And we want to resemble that, bringing pleasure to our friends, so that we realize the love for the Creator, through the friends.

1- We want to come to resemble the Creator’s action, so we need to play a game, this game of imitation? Mimicking?
2- In other words, do we want to imitate or mimic the Creator’s actions toward our friends with the sole intention of bringing contentment to the Creator?
3- What is delight and what is pleasure?
- October 30, 2024 at 5:20 pm EDT #396042Gianni – KabU InstructorModerator
We need to try to bestow to the Creator upon the surface called the ten. It won’t be true actions of bestowal, but you can express your desire to be in bestowal.
Delight and pleasure you can check for yourself because it’s whatever that is for the person, according to their vessel.

How does the reforming light actually bring about change in us? Is there a particular analogy, narrative or mechanism that can be explained simply?
- October 22, 2024 at 9:34 pm EDT #394890Gianni – KabU InstructorModerator
We’re so in it, and operated by the Light, that we’re trying to imagine a situation in which it works, as if it’s not already doing everything. That’s it’s greatest miracle. The question is if we move sooner to the actions it wants to bring us to, than it’s already bringing us to them – that is, toward connection.

Hi, Gianni!
Another question for you: to remove the concealment one has to equalize with the screen, but which part of it? It has different properties. Is equalizing with the Aviut enough? Or is it just the first step? Can you explain more about this?
Thank you <3
- October 22, 2024 at 9:42 pm EDT #394892Gianni – KabU InstructorModerator
Equivalence of form is absolute equivalence – so that’s Aviut (coarseness), Kashiut (hardness), and Ohr Hozer (Reflected Light) upon each layer of Aviut.
- October 23, 2024 at 11:25 am EDT #394939Magsy KapoorParticipant
Ah, so we don’t just need the right desire, but also the right intention and the right clothing. How are the desires and intentions different in each step of the concealment/revelation? What are they different in?
- October 23, 2024 at 2:21 pm EDT #394955Gianni – KabU InstructorModerator
That’s actually a very complex question. But the formula is the same in every state: Light=Desire×f(Screen).
