      So the goal is to achieve spirituality before we die in this corporeal world, right? Why can we achieve spirituality only in this corporeal world, if this world is just an illusion?

      • #323097

        Because it’s the perfect illusion according to the goal. We don’t see the goal so we feel that this world is pointless.

      Hello there,

      Let me see if I got it right so far, the Will to Receive aims to become like the Creator i.e. Will to Bestow. But, since she is empty, she can bestow only if she receives. Otherwise, there is nothing to bestow, she has nothing; the Creator has to give in order for the Will to Receive to has something to bestow.

      Meaning, the Will to Receive can never become like the Creator as she can never change her nature, and thus, will never have anything hers to bestow.  And more over, she will have no one to bestow to, as the Creator already has everything.

      So, even if the Will to Receive learns to bestow, she can never be like the Creator, as she has nothing her own… or am I not thinking right?

      Thank you in advance!

        She can’t become the Creator. The end is Creator and Creature as partners. Meaning He is the one whose deepest wish is to give. Her deepest desire is to receive. But she doesn’t want to be lower than He. The whole plan of creation entails by what means could she receive all goodness, including the ultimate good which is the same status as the Creator.

      I was reading in The Kabbalah Experience, page 311 in the Method of a Choice last paragraph…

      When we ask to change us not because we feel bad, but because we suffer from cursing the Creator in our hearts, that is already a request that is not self-oriented, “for me” but is a true prayer for Him.

      An initial prayer then – Change my heart not because I feel bad, but because I suffer from cursing You in my heart?

      Do we pray in this form at times or is prayer always the recognition of a desire?

      • #321966

        Both are valid. Most important is to scrutinize what I really want. In each moment it’s something. Where is my heart aimed? If not in the right direction, then from that scrutiny, I can also pray. This way I discover more and more what to pray for. The whole path is a sequence of prayers.

      Hi,

      Zohar Ítem 61 Who Is your partner? I have a question:

      When the righteous study Toráh and raise MAN, it is said that they renew words which build a screen, product of a zivug between the Shechina and the Creator (ZA). Are these renewed words a new interpretation made by the righteous of the words of Toráh?

      Thank you

      Adelina

        Renewing words means that it’s always the same words as you can neither add nor subtract from the Torah, which is the program of reality. But for you, in your ever-changing desire, the very same words need to be renewed: implemented upon the new Aviut (coarseness).

          Is it the formation of the Middle line?

        • #322117

          Spiritual attainment – which is what we’re talking about if there is Restriction, Screen, and Returning Light – is always in the Middle Line.

      Hi Gianni

      I am reading the Zohar, The visión of Rabbi Chiya ítem 56. Two questions: 1- The tears that fall down to Malchut de Malchut, which are Hochma without Hassadim, are they Ohr Makif?

      2- Who Is the sea ruler? A minister, a force like an angel?

      Thank you

      Adelina

        Hi Adelina,

        There are some nuances here that aren’t worth going into. Generally, the Zohar is for drawing the Reforming Light. But we can say that whatever Light cannot enter the Kli remains outside, as Surrounding Light.

        All that is written about in the Zohar are forces. Also, Rabbi Chiya is a force and not a person.

      New to Grad Environment.  I attended my first lesson with Seth on Tuesday.  I asked what is love from the Kabbalah perspective and Seth shared his insights.  Tonight I’m watching Jul 19, 2022 – Pticha – Lesson 2.  I can define love now myself because suddenly I realized that I have been the opposite of love in this life.  It brought tears and also a sense of relief as if now I understood something that was a barrier that I could sense but couldn’t grasp.

      Does this make sense or have I gotten myself on an incorrect path of thinking/feeling?

      • #321223

        Yes. All this turns out to be about only you, your story. There’s nothing else written in the books of Kabbalah.
