I am currently reading „disclosing a portion“. Itś so intriguing to get a first insight into the forces behind the names :-))) Anyways, just a small question: Hagar and Ishmael, do they belong to the left line? Thatś how understood it… however, in the book, I find it a bit confusing, so I thought I better ask (I don`t want to get left and right mixed up right at the beginning:-))
This is one passage: („Abraham has the Klipa (shell/peel) of the right, Hagar and Ishmael, and the Klipa of the left, Isaac and Esau, with whom we attain the middle line, Jacob, at the conclusion of the process of correction“)
And this is the other passage („To scrutinize the desire called “Isaac,” we must first remove the desire with which we cannot work and sort it with another female, with Hagar, from whom comes Ishmael, the Klipa (shell/peel) of the right.“)
Both the Right Line and the Left Line have their own Klipa. So, there’s the Klipa of the Right Line, and the Klipa of the Left Line. There is a corrupt form of each side, and a correct form.
Hi Gianni, as I keep reading, trying to understand the structures and forces governing us, I see more and more that it is about feeling all this, rather than grasping it cognitively. And I am getting why working with this actively with others snd for others and together is so important. However, so far all I could find about about the practical work is- teacher, books, group- so the “frame” of the work. But I couldn’t find anything about how to practically DO the work. Are there any resources on that? Or how is it taught or passed on practically? Or is it more like trial and error for the group to find out?
There are 7 volumes of Rabash writings, especially the first volume, which tell us everything we have to do. And in the graduate program we simplify this more, and get very specific.
Hi,I understand that in our practical work we have to learn to scrutinize our desires to see with which we are already able to work, and that those that are „too strong“ we may have to put unto hold and not use (like the pillar of salt), but there are also such that can be or should be expelled. I understand the idea to put things onto halt, and not try and correct a desire that I am too weak to resist (not practically, yet, but just from what I read). But How is it possible to expel a desire? Will it be gone then? I thought, in terms of physics energy cannot leave the system… well, even if it is a big system… So where does the energy of this desire go, when it is expelled? Or is that another form of just waiting, until one is strong enough to deal with it?
Working with desires, for now, practically means awakening the Point in the Heart, and because it is hard to awaken yourself and easy to awaken yourself by awakening others, we have to awaken ourselves by awakening others. This is the main work with the spiritual group. You thus elevate the importance of the spiritual rather than lowering the other desires. So, they don’t go away but are dwarfed.
Hi Gianni,
Guide me please; we know that unity as one man with one heart between all people is crucial for survival of the world as we know it. I believe that statement is much more clear to the Kabbalists, than to regular people like me, although I do see its merits only maybe not so pressing or clear as it is to them.
So, why do we see all kinds of Kabbalistic schools, movements, organizations that haven’t set an example for the rest of the people by uniting as one man with one heart themselves? Why are the Kabbalists still divided?
Thank you in advance!
Hi, I’ve got a question about the fear of God. Does fear of God mean the fear of falling back into self love/self- thought while trying to attain the creator? Because thus, all efforts to reach any equality of form would be in vain… and one would basically hit the wall right away and fall back into the animate state?
I am reading „the Kabbalist“ currently, and I am getting itś fictional, but it´ś also very intriguing. I am just wondering… reading this, it seems like sometimes there are also souls coming to this world who start their journey differently to that normal growth process. They seem to have not quite forgotten their spiritual connection like that boy Moshe in the book or exceptionally find their spiritual purpose in very young years like it was depicted to be for Yehuda Ashlag. If that is not completely fictional, how comes that?
