      In Kabbalah we learn that the soul consists of Shoresh, Neshama, Guf, Levush and Heichal. Our internal desires are comprised of Shoresh, Neshama, and Guf, whereas our external Kelim are Levush and Heichal, meaning “dresses,” “halls,” and “palaces.” They represent external desires. If we relate to them as ourselves, we start sensing the upper Light, the higher life, and our eternal existence in them.

      The internal/external differences, can you explain?

        Throughout the Spiritual states, at any given moment there are aspects referred to as internal and external, these are in relation to the “place” that is being observed. So the yard of your home is external to the house you are in, but inside the village you live, just as your home is external to your body, yet internal to your relation to the world.
        Now that you are in the Graduate Environment hopefully you will be learning soon about the structure and functionality of the Upper worlds, Partufim, Sefirot and more, and this will shine some light on these deep questions. Meanwhile, you are welcome to also bring them to Sunday Meeting with Friends every Sunday, and also, this Tuesday to our Intro to the Preface of the Wisdom of Kabbalah lesson.

      Night and day together is a degree, when it makes no difference to me whether it is night or day, I can be above any state. There’s no relationship to or dependency on corporeal time.

      Once we overcome the ego, it means we got a correction from Above (if we have indeed overcome it). Then we get a new portion of egoism to overcome. But it’s not a repeat of the same work.
