Ask anything about week 1 lesson and materials and get an answer from a senior Kabbalah instructor.

I have been reflecting over some of the most painful and difficult times in my life through the lens of lesson one.  I suppose in some way it gives a new meaning to suffering, a new way of seeing the darkness and aloneness.  I am slowly coming to believe in a bigger plan to all of this.

I am not sure yet if I am angry with the nature of suffering, war, exploitation, abuse and trauma in the world as a means of correction.  I know I am talking about the collective now, but surely there is another way other than suffering to awaken us.

I am slowly coming to believe!!

Thank you. I am very eager to know more and more and to be part of this wonderful group. 🙂

There is none else besides him. So my physical, emotional, & mental self, because it has been sent by Him, is  all this not really “ME”, but Him ?

Is the only  the part of me which exists the bit that can choose to change my need for the creator.?

[Seth – KabU Instructor]

Sarah,
We did not attain this yet, so for now, we are learning about the laws of nature.
It’s as if someone tells you that there is WiFi in the room but you can’t see it, you just believe it and can work with the results of it, you can connect to the internet.

So for now, you don’t see or feel or attain that there is none else besides Him, we barely understand what it means.
So do not get too confused with all of this.
We still need to live in this world but as we do so we are learning about these forces that are unseen in the meantime.
But you are correct that all of our work will be to reveal the Creator’s guidance over all of reality.

I dont really know what “the desire to bestow” to the Creator means. I understand that if I act in bestowal towards another human being, I may get a response of delight, & I can kinda forward that upwards, so with my pleasure in receiving thanks I can say ” not for my sake but thine”.

But other than that I m lost, and please can you give me an actual example of what you mean, in this world, in your answer, to help me understand, thank you.

[Seth – KabU Instructor]

Sara,
No, it’s impossible to show it in this world.
In this world you can be 1000 miles away from someone but feel as one in your heart, or you can be in the same bed with a person and feel 1000 miles away from them.
In this world you can hate someone and still smile at them.
In this world if you don’t receive a gift from your child, for example, it’s a rejection, but if you do receive the gift from them, by you receiving, you are actually giving to them they feel they received something from you, some pleasure from being able to give to you.
These things are not clear.
All of the spiritual work is done in inner calculations and feelings on the outside it may look this way or that.

And one more thing, this Will to Bestow created the Will to Receive to give, it WANTED to give, so isn’t this need, desire, want, whatever you call it, in it’s essence, a Will to Receive too? Why would it NEED a Will to Receive if it’s an absolute bestowal? Why would it want to give? For pleasure? For what?

Thanks!

[Seth – KabU Instructor]

Zorica,
This is called the thought of creation.
We do not discover the essence of the Creator, where the thought comes from.
We only can attain the Light that emanates out from the Creator.
It is worthwhile to engage in what we can attain in the meantime.
You walked into school on the first day and want to understand what Einstein understands.  It is impossible to convey something like that.  You will grow and develop and then your soul will teach you everything.  These answers do not go in the ear.

Hello again,

Ok, let’s say Creator created a Will to Receive and it wants to fill it with Light and all that.

So, what’s the end game? Why? If He is a Will to Bestow, He is not doing it to gain something, so why? Why go through all these troubles?

And, ok, we will get there eventually, and…? Then what? We will create our Kli and start this whole process all over again? Another 6.000 years?

Thanks!

[Seth – KabU Instructor]

Zorica,
You are asking about what is called the Thought of Creation.
This thought is to create a creature and fill it with endless delight.
From this thought comes everything, all the cascading of the light in four phases and the creation of the kli, the restriction, the screen, the building of the worlds, partzufim and sefirot, all so that the creature would be able to have a way to feel itself separate from the Creator and from there, to feel itself and also the Creator, and then to slowly slowly ascend back up along the exact same steps that the Light took when it cascaded down.
At the end of the 6000 years of correction (qualitative measurement, not astrological time…2000 years the world of Assiyah, 2000 years the world of Yetzirah, 2000 years the world of Beriyah) we complete the correction of the vessel and transform the intention from 100% to receive to 100% to bestow.  All of this rises to the world of Atzilut which is then raised all the way back up.
This entire process is described in the authentic books of kabbalah.
After the final correction is called the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th millenia.  Our books don’t speak about those degrees at all, this is something that will be revealed after the final correction.

How and why does our perception of good or bad hide the Creator’s benevolence, His kindness, His charitableness towards us?

[Seth – KabU Instructor]

altbalance,
There is a reality that we exist in, and what do our senses really do?  How much of the total reality do they let into your body for you to sense?  Can you eyes see as far as an eagle’s eye?  Can your nose tell you what is on the other side of the door like a dog’s can?  Our senses allow just a small amount of reality into our field of perception.

Certainly it would be better if we could perceive everything.  As we learn later about the process of creation, that original creation contained everything, all of the power and force and delight in existence, but there was no one to sense it, in that perfect reality where everything is completely one, no heiachry, no head and no tail, no front and no back, everything is completely absorbed into that One.  In order that we would perceive ourselves and then from there begin to build a perception of what is the Creator that is seemingly outside of us the qualities of the Creator called Bina/bestowal and the quality of the creature called Malchut/reception were mixed.  And from this mixture we can feel, we can measure, we can draw close and eventually though many efforts and actions, attain.
