My question is I do not undertand why bestowal/ lishma and receiving is one because we are allegedly one being when we all unite?
Hi Delayne,
Bestowal is the (+) force that extends from the Creator.
Reception is the (-) force that resides in all of creation. This – force is the only thing that the Creator created.
We are unable to bestow, we can only receive.
And because of this situation, we are as far as possible from the Creator. We are opposite.
He is 100% (+) and we are 100% (-).
But there is a correction that we can use our reception in order to bestow.
That we receive in order to give contentment to the Creator.
That is called that we are in lishma, that we do it for the sake of the Creator.

Over several months frustration has been building that’s connected to how limited my perception is. I feel like I’m completely blind and alone fumbling in the dark. I deeply yearn for a spiritual environment and a family of people who can be in a reciprocal relationship with me that’s decorated with love. I live alone and study psychology and statistics at the University of Auckland. My question is this; how can I start building a spiritual environment now? I find myself in a depressive slump – I wish that I can change to be molded into what I think I need to be to reach my goals in life but I don’t know if what I’m doing is right and I’m struggling to be consistent. Some advice or a point in the right direction would be much appreciated, thank you
Ricki,
Yes, these are very intense and strong states that you are going through.
There is something to be happy from here.
You have a very strong desire to find meaning and answers.
This is the fuel that drives us to discover this wisdom.
You are in part 2 of a 4 part introduction series. After you complete the first 4 courses, you can join other students in live classes and also begin work in a virtual group where we learn how to practically work with these lights and forces between us.
Find confidence that you found an authentic method, an ancient method passed from sage to disciple for thousands of years. The materials we are studying each week are the fundamental building blocks that everything that comes next will be built on.
Try to work with the materials that we are studying with.
Rewrite articles in your own words or draw or paint or write a song with it.
Work with the material each week so that you live with it for more time during your free time and you’ll feel how already the light in it starts to work on you slowly.

How will I know when I have achieved the state of Lishma? My personality and interests had already begun to change when I had a spiritual awakening 4 years ago, but now with my study of Kabbalah, I initially felt a great sense of joy and excitement that has now been replaced with an emptiness that I had never experienced before. Thank you for your insights into this.
Karen,
This does happen. It is like you inherited a large farm or a large factory that makes you very wealthy.
But then you wake up one day and realize how much work you have to do to maintain this farm that provides you with all of this wealth.
It is a natural part of the process and you don’t need to be frightened, but only to identify what is happening, what you are feeling and how to use this bigger emptiness in order for there to be a bigger fulfillment.
After all, all of reality is only filled with the upper light. We only perceive it according to the size of our empty vessel, our kli.
Baal HaSulam has an article about it. It is more advanced, but there is light contained in the article. Read it, not so much for intellectual understanding, but to feel what the author feels.
