After starting Kabbalah study, I find myself more judging toward others, or you can say I am more aware of human nature. it’s not a good feeling though, especially between families members. it’s even more depressing in realizing that I am just as bad…
did all Kabbalists experience this? what’s your advice? Â thanks
Yes, it’s just a phase. Later, you’ll see with complete clarity that every deed by every one is an act of the Will to Receive, and there isn’t a shred of good in the world. It’s only that some forms of it please our Will to Receive, so we call that good. Some forms are worse for the existence of society, so we call that bad. All of it is equally the Will to Receive, without any difference – at least from the perspective of the Upper Force. But we start being fine with that because it’s all just the matter of Creation. As beginners, we’re coming out of the delusion that we’re ok because we’re good, to the more true realization that we’re not good but that’s ok because the Creator made us opposite to Him on purpose because then we can invert it and become like Him, and since we went through this, we will actually know Him, His nature, and this is a great gift to Creation.
I feel like I must have missed something. I saw a comment stating that the workshop was a great experience. Did I miss it? In this week I saw rules and other pre workshop items, buy… I feel lost
The story of the wording Moses gave to his people made me wonder if the fact that we can see the past, but not the future, is part of the restriction? Because it said the Creator didn’t want to specify what the people might gain in the future because then they would do the work egoistically instead of altruistically.
Is the future hidden from us because it is Light?
Well met friends!
Forgive my confusion, but I am hoping you can provide some clarity.
As there is none else beside Him, then how is the Creator a force and not an Essence? A force acts upon an other. An essence is completely pervading, inextricably linked to, intimately used as the centerpiece of, and thusly constitutes the root of, a creation.
There is no part of the creation that did not come from the Creator. There is no other. There is none else beside Him. For our Essence, the Creator and all creation and all branches as they appear to us, creature included, must be one and the same, at their root.
In the perceptually fractured world of appearances we erroneously identify with momentarily and seem to inhabit as different creatures, forces manifest and appear to act, but, in Reality, every action, piece on the board, and every player are all the Work of the Creator, outside time and space, where force is irrelevant and Perfection is and always has been eternally and spontaneously maintained without effort.
Thusly, I feel that interpreting the Creator as being a disparate force that acts upon the creature re-enforces a mindset built upon the error that absolutely anything in the creation can in any way, other than in its own fault of perception, somehow be opposite to or different from from the Creator, does it not?
Infinite Love and Gratitude for your time and attention to my query.
Hello! I have 3 questions-
When we are in perfect synchronicity, will we live above time and space?
Do we come into perfect synchronicity on a personal level before the communal then global level?
Is perfect synchronicity alternate terminology for final correction?
Hi Carly,
(1) We don’t need perfection; only the minimum Equivalence with the Upper Force of Bestowal.
(2) Yes, we attain the personal Final Correction prior to the general Final Correction (Gmar Tikkun).
(3) I don’t know what synchronicity is because I haven’t seen it in the wisdom of Kabbalah. We need Equivalence of Form. This is the best term because it points to the opposite form we’re in, in our egoistic Will to Receive, and the need for it to clothe in an opposite form, the property of Bestowal.
In the related section for this week there was a video to watch that Gil did on synchronicity. That’s really the first I’ve heard of it too in this study, so that’s where reference was coming from.
But now you’ve opened up something else!I thought that when we attain equivalence of form that would be the state of perfection? Please explain?
Thank you, Gianni! 😊
If the workshop is intense, it may lead to feeling really connected and thus really uplifted (that’s at least how it felt to me in the retreat). Anyways, getting back to daily life… it’s a big contrast. And feeling that disconnection afterwards might feel harsh. There was some advice how to prepare before the workshop… Is there any advice on how to go abthis sfter the workshop is finished and the effect fades away?
We need to try to keep the state of the workshop always. The calibration toward the friends in the workshop is actually the correct calibration toward reality. Of course, we fall, but we need to know this is the goal. We can temper the fall by surrounding ourselves with the right books, friends and teachers.
