      Adding to the above.. and it may sound foolish to even ask…but I thought to at least try…if we say we wish to bring contentment to the creator… and we pray for that even… how can we ask gor this correctly? I try to imagine that… being able to bring contentment to the creator… but “I” cannot do any such thing it seems, because I have been designed the opposite way. Now, that doesn’t hook me off.. I just wonder how to ask and really stick to ehat I have just asked… being a human being, being a will to receive and having this ego pushing and wanting to protect me but separating me from being part of the whole… How do I ask correctly? How can I bring contentment to the creator?

        By being connected to your friends. That’s the Kli He can fill. That’s why you can’t bring Him contentment, because He has no contentment from an individual. It would give Him contentment to fill His kli, which is broken among your friends. Each one wants to skip this connection and go straight to the Creator all by himself. This individual work is only preliminary, until I realize that I have to connect in one heart with my friends. And that’s already enough.

          Thanks for that… now, since there are so many obstacles and shatterings basically everywhere… what precisely do we need to hold on to…? What IS the lifeline

          in the teaching /RAV/books that keeps a ten functional? What in this truly makes a group a ten, and strangers become friends? And when this is being challenged, how can we protect it… how can we invite the creator to truly dwell in it?

          Obstacles come from the Will to Receive, which is overfed, too unruly for the spiritual degree standing before us. Every effort, prayer I put into the ten, feeds the other property in reality. Which animal I feed more is the one that will exert dominance. So, I need to ensure that I and all the friends are making efforts in the ten. By more efforts on that side of the scale, we sentence the whole world to a scale of merit.

      Hi Gianni, how can we come to a true intention to bestow while still being linked to our ego, and to this world ? Like really from the bottom of our hearts, really for the friends…or really to give contentment above… and not in the end just for our own progress/ our own wish to adhere to the creator/ our own correction? How can we avoid using connection/ dissemination/ actions of bestowal to tune “ourselves”?

      I am  struggling with those “mechanical actions “, because I feel it’s like cheating the system and abusing the options we have, if I cannot restrict my ego beforehand . … which would love  such actions…but for its own benefit.

      But to really want for the friends  … not mechanically, but with true love….how can we do this?  Or even overcoming ourselves… going to a meeting or lesson when there is no taste of anything… how can we do this without wanting it for our selves in the end? What is the restriction I need to put before any such action, and what do I have to fuel into the ego engine meanwhile ,so the engine won’t stutter too badly and still allow me to keep going?
      I am not sure if any of this makes sense to ask… it’s just that I don’t want to “use” the system… or even worse “abuse” it… but the ego uses basically everything… so I am looking for a way to either quiet the ego or to give it something to chew on…just to keep it busy… so it won’t  mess up all efforts. But just for now that seems rather impossible, so I am a bit clueless.

        The system needs to exist upon klipot for now. They’re also from the Creator. We have to hold the system together in ways that the ego agrees to work. But from this system, we come to correct intentions. The Klipot assist us to rise to holiness. Through intentions that are closer and closer to bestowing. The aim that is closest to bestowal is always where the ego refuses to work since it receives precisely from the aim for self.

      If a person A does something for a friend and expects in return a result which would contribute to the desire and intention of another friend B for achieving a level of connection which would lead to more closeness to the Creator, and A would do it for the sake of B – is the deed Lishma or Lo Lishma?

      • #472292

        If the end goal is contentment to the Creator, and I don’t expect any other result, it’s Lishma.

      Hi Gianni

      If the goal of creation is realized only in the speaking degree, how do Kabbalists understand UFO phenomena?could they represent another speaking intelligence, or are they merely forces, similar to angels?

      thanks

        Let’s wait until we see that there are provable aliens and not just something in the sky that is an as-yet-unidentified flying object. There are surprises ahead, and they will be humorous.

      Hi Gianni,

      there is something I  don’t understand…it seems like the truth is already there, … the truth that we are all connected, the path leading to bestowal. And in those short moments of enlightenment … it’s beauty beyond words.

      But our lives  seem to be designed to reveal the complete opposite, opposite…and even though this is just a “play” , and it’s giving us such a distorted reality, corporeality occupies so much time, effort, and mind.

      How can we simultaneously live in these two worlds? How can we make spirituality our internal goal, really stay focused on it, and maintain our connection to spirituality (especially in those times when it seems almost impossible  or life gives us more and more obstacles) and at the same time life up to what life is giving us to deal with, taking tvis game of life seriously ?How does it work to be in these two opposites at the same time?

        In that you know you’re playing all the time. Either you’re playing the game of bestowal (in the ten) or reception. The problem is forgetting to play or that I am playing. Meaning I’m not playing, but going with my inclinations as-is. So, be in play every moment. Then both modes become increasingly spiritual.

      Regarding the last night’s smwf session – an old question:

      What does it mean to reject the light? Also with respect to the practical aspect.

      Does it mean that I am hardening myself being stubbern and stony not letting myself be impressed of the light? Is this how we are ment to work in the groups – when we say “we receive only a bit we can bear and that in order to bestow upon the friends”? Thas would mean that I estimate that that, what the friend is expressing is not good enough, and me, the navel of the world, have to give it “better” to him back.

      On another side: thank you for the session, my need to cope and understand TES increased with the ladt night’s session and I’ll go again through the course Blueprint of Creation.

      A last short mention: is not about not being smart enough in the heads, but some people are slower in their heads than their hearts are – often because – and this the majority of people – they’ve suffered some traumatic experiences, which cause some delays in the mind. That doesn’t mean that the people are ‘fully incapable or sick’ The heart is faster by those people, and fully capable, and this confirms even the kabbalistic sages and you said yestersday about teaching through connection by heart.The new science has proven – the intelligence of heart is higher and wider than the mind’s one,

        The best is to try to live in the friends. Rather than what can I do to be connected, and so on; what can I do to connect the friends, and so on. To be in concerns of them, my ego already begins lacking sustenance. And then I have more spiritual forces. To whatever extent, in any way, I think of myself, I weaken my spiritual forces, strengthen the forces of reception. The Screen is the ability to never descend into thoughts of self.

        And I forgot to ask this:

        What if I don’t attain the Sefira?
