      What is the difference between “states” and “degrees” ? is there a difference ?

      Thank you.

      • #390090

        States is a more general term. I’m always in some state, but not on a spiritual degree.

        Sure, I need to have fear to maintain a degree; and I need to have fear in advance, to ever reach a spiritual degree.

        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.

          Thanks, Gianni! The problem I’m having is that I see why the screen in the Peh needs to exist, but I can’t see why this space for Hafetz Hesed is needed. Why does that part of the Partzuf have to remain empty? And isn’t this screen/wall similar to the Kashiut in the screen of the Peh?

          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?

      • #389602

        I believe you can write to [email protected] 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.

      Hello Gianni, during SMWF some questions have arisen but I couldn’t react to ask:

      1. About the 600k souls: is the correction ment only for those souls? And every of them is connected to other souls for whose correction he is responsible for? Is this correct?

      2. And about spiritual roots: I heard you saing “we have different spiritual roots” – how is this ment? Which spiritual roots exist? How can they be recognized? Can one soul be connected to a “wrong” spiritual root, to which it doesn’t belong? And if this is possible how can one get disconnected of the wrong and connected to the “right” root? What does it take?

      Thank you!

      • #388831

        600,000 is the intensity of the correct connection between us all. It’s not a number of physical bodies involved.

        We each have our root of the soul and it is where we are attached to. When we make our unique corrections, which are all related to connection, we reach our root. And we see we don’t desire something else but exactly this.

      When the friends thank me I don’t know how to react because it’s not “me” they are thanking and I can’t take credit for what occurs through me. How do i relate to this in order to give joy to the friends at the same time as being a zero?

      • #388785

        I ask “how did the friend want me to respond” and that’s how I respond. That already means I’m as a zero.

      1- What to do when some kind of anger surfaces within you just because you see a Kabbalistic text?

        Overcome it and continue. Learn to associate less with feelings and more with the Goal.
