In the reading from “Kabbalah, Science and the Meaning of Life”; The Nature of Matter, the author talks about separating the sensing unit into two parts. He describes having two sensors and one receives the pleasure while the other only senses it. In this way “the sensing of pleasure can become unending and yield a sensation of eternal living.”
Is the author talking about the Surrounding Light?
Katrina,
He is talking about desire and intention as two different things.
With my hands I can be giving or receiving, my legs can be coming or going, all of these changes up down, in and out but in my heart, I’m in adhesion with the Creator.
This would be that Surrounding Light that you mentioned that is pushing us forward, that Light would clothe in our soul and this is what a person would experience.
Seth@KabUI think in this context you can think of the screen like a goalie.
The top half of the partzuf is able to see the Creator firing off all this goodness at it. And it’s like if it goes in to the goal it’s game over.
But if the top half can redirect those good things back out at the team mates we can keep playing the game. And the point is that we all want to play.
That’s how I think of it anyway.
In the short lesson movies it stated that social measures instated by creatures, like for instance the ‘kibbutzim’ failed….though in my history and the way i perceived it they helped unity between mankind quite a bit….undoubtedly acknowledging that people desire for wealth and power would come to overthrow it….all in all it’s a large thing to grasp or fully understand
Koriander,
It’s true that we are learned a thing or two from the kibbutzim, from Russian communism, from all sorts of things.
But this learning is a long, slow, drawn out suffering type of learning where people have to take an idea all the way to the end, until it crashes and burns.
The kibbutzim is a lovely concept, but there are many fallouts from the children not growing up with their families and other things that in theory made sense to the founders but without an understanding of the whole, integral, harmonious system we are in, its impossible to build something that won’t cause suffering.
So our goal is to learn about this system, where we are in it, how we can work with these forces and how to clothe that upper light in a way that the good is revealed in our life and in the life of all of humanity.

Therapist. Kabbalah is the next degree after we sort out this world. Whatever’s provided as a solution in this world is one’s first line of defense. I need to go to pay my taxes, go to the doctor, have a job, kids, etc. The Creator provided this field of work at this level, and then there’s a higher level we can build upon it.
How many roots are there and how many branches from each root? I imagine Lichtenberg figures when I think of this. Do the roots have names?
In the natural world, each thing has a root in the Upper World in a one-to-one relationship. When humans start making all kinds of things, not everything has a clear root. Like a computer doesn’t, for example, but a book does. Typically the root is called by the name we have for the branch in our world.
I am wondering if the law that the creator reveals himself in the connection with others accounts for conscious connection with the ten in terms of studying Kabbalah only, or if itś a natural law that applies to any connection that follows the intention to bestow / altruism. In other words, if in daily life we ask for correction in our daily encounters, in order to act following the laws of nature and to draw the light, and get more awareness of or intention to bestow to another person, will that have any effect (e.g. if the other person is maybe not following Kabbalah but open for this sort of connection)?
There’s an order here, like in all systems. A person needs to first reach corrected connection with others with a Point in the Heart. Later, there’s a different work that isn’t exactly like what’s being taught presently. In short, we can’t exercise Kabbalistic principles on those who do not aim at the same goal.
Hi Julian,
It looks like humanity still has a long way to go before every soul fragment makes the final correction. I know that those of us who will do diligent work with the intention to ascend perform Mitzvot that contribute to the Collective Soul– and I am eager to do all I can in this generation. It is still hard for me to wrap my head around many more generations/lives. I do find peace in fact that soul fragments get the time they need to return. Altruism is complicated… I need to be aware of the Spiritual world within. May our Creator work out all of our intentions to ascend.
