you talk about the Masach (screen), can can this be repaired without a group?  Does the creator simply repair this through genuine request? Or does this only get repaired as the PIH grows in a spiritual environment?
The Shattering of the Masach is precisely the shattering of the connection with others, and as an individual it is a violation of the Upper Laws for me to receive. As long as I still think I can receive somehow, so I’m in an imaginary world. A playpen where I think I can receive, but never do. All I have to do is not be alone, but always feel myself connected through others to the Creator. And that simple task is impossible. That’s why I need the wisdom of Kabbalah, to build that inner connection.
Could you explain the concept of the masach?  I understand we learn to receive some of the Light to bestow and the rest is rejected.  What does that mean, that it’s rejected?  Where does it go?  How does it feel to a person?  Can you give an example?
Hi Esther,
The reason you can’t explain how it feels to have a Restriction, Screen, and Reflected Light (Tzimzum, Masach, Ohr Hozer) is that it doesn’t feel like anything that a person has experienced. What have we experienced of the goal of Creation, which is to feel unbounded delight, pleasure, and tranquility? We have only been, our whole lives, on the way to different pleasures which, as we’re about to receive one of them, the Light, meaning all the hoped-for fulfilment, evaporates. And that’s because by our nature we want to receive without any reason for reception other than it’s good for us. We don’t want to account for the Source of the pleasure except insofar as we must use them in order to get the pleasure. Our attitude is like this towards others around us of course, and so the real Source, the Upper Light is concealed. So, to develop the Tzimzum, we have to change this attitude – and we can’t change it, the Reforming Light that we draw during the study of the wisdom of Kabbalah has to make these changes. It seems like just changing our attitude can’t alter reality but it’s because our attitude, in the parameter that matters, is ever in one direction – reception. That’s why it seems not powerful, but this inner change can literally move mountains. If this point in our attitude changes, we’ll see a totally different reality. If I just want to receive, they will keep showing me this one; when I will want to not receive unless it’s to bestow back to the Upper Force, the spiritual world starts opening up immediately.
There is no movement, no time, no space or lack in spirituality. Does this mean predictions, seeing the future tarot reading, astrology etc all these arent helpful because it works on tne premise that man will not change and be ab,e to trwnsform his reception to bestowal?
Whatever he will do, by this means or that means, with understanding or without, he will not alter his destiny. He can know that in a minute he will fall off a cliff, and in a minute, wherever he runs, he will fall off that cliff. He is in a forcefield, about which he can do nothing. If he does not change himself on the inside, by the Reforming Light, which is only through the wisdom of Kabbalah, then no matter what he does, he will fall off the cliff he is supposed to fall off of. He can do whatever he wants. Pray, anything he wants. But he will fall off. Then, he will enter a reality in which he doesn’t know to try to play around with things and again he will have another opportunity to play by the normal rules. Without magic, without cards, without nothing. With normal legs and arms. With the regular rules of reality. Except there is a method, with a group, with a teacher, with correct books, to draw the Reforming Light and move closer to the spiritual goal. Otherwise he’s in a Mario Brothers game, he can do whatever he wants before the pit he’s going to fall into, but a bit forward and he’s falling into the pit, and next time, same pit. Until he takes the correct method by which to leap above his ego. And there are no other methods but the wisdom of Kabbalah to leap above.
For what i undestood, this Kabbalistic Lab, is the only means to correct our ego into an intention proper for the light, right?
Greetings. How many shattering events have there been so far in our traditional history? The shattering of Adam HaRishon predates this material world, and then the shattering of Abraham’s Path of Light evolutionary track in 1995–the first is not considered “the Fall” and the latest is described that way as Abrahamic Path of Light contingent fell below the machsom and their shattered state/content is entirely mixed with that of the shattered state/content of the All the Nations Path of Pain evolutionary track. And what was 1995 like for the first contingent as they could no longer perceive the Upper Worlds? Like getting your Internet access cut off for the rest of us today, only worse because you have to repair/restore your own service (and everybody’s before yours)? Or did they even lose the memory of having once had that contact due to the shattering?
Hi Mike,
There are two Shatterings, and they both occur in the Upper World: the Shattering of the World of Nikudim, and the Shattering of the Soul of Adam HaRishon. Everything in our world is the long-term unfoldment and outer expression of this shattering. It’s a shattering in the connection between the parts of the soul of Adam, and that’s why our world is simply all kinds of expressions of bad connection between people, who are the most internal part of the reality, and thus our broken connection negatively impacts the rest of reality. And our good connection can heal all of reality, and reveal all the Upper Worlds in it.
I listened to Dr Laitman answer a question about if the creator exists and he says No!
i am confused. does the creator exists or he doesnt?
