      I understand the screen in theory, but I can’t do it. It’s your intention that creates this right? also im only half way through attaining the worlds beyond. Thats where im at

        Hi Daniel,

        Yes, you can say that the screen is the intention. How do we implement it practically? What are we intending with our intention? To bestow like the Creator. In order to bestow, we need someone to bestow to. Since the Creator is concealed, we cannot bestow to Him directly. Instead, we need to practice bestowal on other people. But since there is a rule that “there is no coercion in spirituality”, we cannot just practice this with just anyone, we need others who have the same goal as us. Meaning others with a point in the heart that are together with us in the Kabbalistic group. So in order to build an intention for bestowal like the Creator, we need to practice it with others in the Kabbalistic group.

        We’ll learn how to do this practically in the more advanced semesters where everyone will receive their own Kabbalah group with whom they can implement these things.

      I have two points and I’m here to understand not to debate.You mentioned that to power besides him , which means everything in this world is performed by his power so how do you explain the crimes and killing? Is the creator responsible of that? in case yes so he’s criminal if no that means he’s not governing the world .second point you explained that  our suffering is created as a result of the difference between our thoughts and the creator thoughts  and based on these two points if the creator is responsible of everything and he has a plan for us so what is the purpose of creating us, and what is the purpose on working on improving our lives?
      waiting for your reply

        Hi Malak,

        1. We learn from the Kabbalists that every single moment comes to us directly from the Creator, this is called “there is none else besides Him”. Furthermore, they also say that He is the “good that does good”. Meaning that every moment He is sending us nothing but goodness. Why then don’t we see this in our world? Why don’t we feel everything that is happening as something good?

        This is because our world is governed by our egoistic nature. This egoistic nature is opposite to the Creator’s nature. Because of that, it inverts the Creator’s goodness into something bad. It’s just like multiplying numbers, a positive times a negative equals negative.

        So as long as we remain within this egoistic nature, we will continue to see and feel more suffering and horrors in the world. But if we correct our nature to be similar to the Creator’s nature, we will reveal the true reality in which only goodness exists and that our previous egoistic state was nothing more than a dream.

        2. The purpose of creation is to raise us to the highest and best possible state, to become similar to the Creator. Why do we need to be created in this opposite, shattered, egoistic state? Because it’s a vital part of our development, without which we would be unable to develop and reach that purpose. It’s just like with kids. We don’t just give them a completed jigsaw puzzle. On the contrary we take it and break it down into many pieces. Then in the process of them putting it together, they grow and develop. Same with us.

      The soul of Adam ha Rishon shattered into 600,000 parts; each part with 613 desires (one of which is the Point in the Heart which doesn’t need correction)..My question: how does the 600,000 become the approx. 8 billion people now on the earth?

        Thank you Albert, for your “perfect” answer. Very much appreciated!

        Hi Garry,

        The point in the heart actually does need a correction. This is why it’s called a “black dot”. Since it’s still aimed in the direction of reception. If it was already corrected, we would be experiencing spirituality within it.

        As for the population, this is simply a reflection of the level of egoism that each generation is working with. The greater the population, the more that our common egoism is divided between us, and the easier the work is for all of us.

        Rav Laitman writes about it in one of his blog posts:

        “600,000 is the number of initial fragments, but after that they are fragmented again into whatever number is necessary for the optimal correction in each generation – so that each fragment will have as much egoism as it’s able to correct. Therefore, to the degree that egoism grows, the world’s population grows as well.”

      Based on the recommended reading, it seems that the 613 mitzvot in the Torah and 7 mitvot de rabbinan are the methods by which one can ultimately reach the ultimate state of correction. However, I have read and heard elsewhere that many of these mitvot cannot be performed by Noahide’s or people not of the Jewish faith, suggesting we each need to convert to Judaism so that we can perform as many of these commandments as possible. Can you please correct any misunderstanding I may have. Thank you

        Hi Anne,

        Torah comes from the Hebrew word ohr (light). So when Kabbalists use the word Torah, they are not referring to the physical book, but rather to the light. This is a special force that we can extract, especially through the Kabbalistic studies, in order to correct our egoistic nature.

        And when Kabbalists use the word Mitzvot (plural of Mitzvah) they are not referring to the corporeal Mitzvot that a religious person performs with his hands and feet. But rather the Mitzvot are the INTERNAL processes by which we draw the light and correct the egoistic desires. So no need to convert to Judaism. All we need to do is extract more and more of the light, especially through the Kabbalistic studies, and we’ll begin to correct our egoistic desires. This is essentially how we fulfill the commandments to correct ourselves.

          Do Jewish people who can and to some degree must perform mitzvot, have the potential to correct the rest of humanity? Or to serve as their light and elevate them? Could it be that Jewish people have this responsibility toward those not from their faith? Rav Laitman was not a practicing Jew … and gradually understood that becoming observant had something to do with elevating the broader learnings he immersed himself into. There may be a different set of responsibilities for those of the Jewish faith that are not highlighted so as to avoid alienating/deterring others from learning and transforming, each to his ability.
