J’ aime donner naturellement ,ce qu,  on appelle etre genereux, j’ aime partager ,j, aime aussi recevoir , mais je ressens plus de plaisir quand je donne ;quel est le  lien avec la nature  de donner  propre au Creature et le nature de recevoir propre à la créature selon la Kabbale. svp. merci

[Seth – KabU Instructor]

Marguerite,
Every creature is an egoist.  Most people feel pleasure from receiving and there is a small percentage of people who feel more pleasure from giving.  But all of them are egoists.
On the other hand, bestowal of the Creator is something that is supernatural.  It is not in our power to give, to bestow like He does.
It is impossible for us to do anything without self-benefit.
That is the nature of His giving.  He gives unconditionally.
The wisdom of kabbalah is the method to draw the Reforming Light that will correct our will to receive and we receive a second nature from above.

que ce passe -t-il quand on utilise des voies malhonnêtes , comme mensonge,extortion,voler, fraude etc pour le plaisir de recevoir comment la kabbale explique cela

[Seth – KabU Instructor]

Marguerite,
A kabbalist is not suprised that the world is full of egoists of all shapes and sizes.
The ego has no bounds and will continue to grow and exploit everyone.
Our salvation is in drawing the Reforming Light on top of the egoistic desires.

Hi Seth,

Thank you u for being there and answering our questions. It really helps seeing everyone questions and your answers.
My question is possibly one of faith/trust. At times I understand intuitively that reading text with intention and not understanding it enables insights and feelings to emerge in me. Bu at times I struggle with this practice and wander to myself am I crazy. Just so caught up in my own desire / need that I am delusional. Please help.

Thank you

Myrna,
First of all, part of our study is that it feels out of reach.  This is like a small child who is learning to walk and the parent takes a step back to enable the child to take another step and thus learn to walk.
As grown adults we are doing this as a conscious process.  We recognize each time that we feel empty again and the Light is first making a new, larger vessel, which is empty and feels like emptiness and then after that fills the larger vessel and then this happens again until we complete our correction.
This happens to us through a long slow process of problems and wars or quickly through working together in the group of kabbalists and drawing the light and going through these degrees consciously and in a faster pace.
Of course we are caught up in our desires, this is what causes us to feel empty.
If you identify with your desires, it’s a never ending black hole.
Just deal with your desires normally, we don’t deliberate over these neurotically.  Work, live a healthy life, take care of your family and all of that is what a normal creature must do.  It is totally normal that all kinds of thoughts and desires arise in us for simple things like more money to all kinds of things that we can’t believe we are thinking those things.
We leave that alone.  And above all of those desires we study, we read, we pray and we connect.
And those desires become like waves that you are riding.
So being crazy is not going to help you or anyone.
Being a craftsman of the soul is where you need to be.
Good luck,
Seth@KabU

Why is it that the ‘giver’ feels the discomfort and the ‘receiver’s never see what the giver is doing and just keep taking?  I have had many situations of giving without expecting anything in return, and this has led to people leaving my life.  Can you explain this situation to me?  Would it be that giving must be from a place of joy, not a place of burden?   Thank you for all the learning.

[Seth – KabU Instructor]

Linda,
The kabbalists say that everything that is taking place in this world, whether it is giving or taking is all an expression of our “will to receive”.  Everyone is trying to satisfy themselves.  Some people take until there is nothing left to take and others feel that it is better to give, so they give until they are all dried out.  But all of this are conducts of this world.

We will learn to stabilize ourselves in this world and learn to bestow on the spiritual dimension.

Hi teacher and fellow colleagues,

I understand that all of the levels of the soul are in the upper worlds, not visible to the senses,

So if one never experiences the desire to know the creator, never develops a screen, and never has the thought of bestowal, his action may be exactly the same as if he did and went through the 125 phases of correction?

 

So externally the exact same thing is happening, then why should one follow the desire to continue on the path of at least externally nothing will change?

[Seth – KabU Instructor]

Dana,
Let’s clarify somethings that will clarify what we are learning.
There were 1000s of generations that came before us and we are result of them, the color of our hair, our eyes, our height, the size of our hands and the tendencies that we were born with.  In addition to that, we grew up with songs and TV and movies and food and schools, friends, hobbies, etc and if we were born in on another continent instead somewhere far away, then the songs and TV and music and school and hobbies would have all been different.  For example If Michael Jordan was born in Hawaii and became a surfer instead of a basketball player, the world wouldn’t have had one of the greatest basketball players of all time, even though that guy existed, if he grew up somewhere else under different conditions, he would have turned out different.

And if we examine our lives, if we had instruments to measure every detail of our lives, we would see that everything we do is predetermined, determined by our genes and our upbringing and our society, etc.

So whatever each of us was given by nature is perfect.  Whatever you have, whatever qualities you have, and whatever each and everyone has, its all perfect.  Can we say that there is some flaw in a peacock or a dolphin or an eagle or a bear?  Each one was made meticulously by nature, just like us.

But in addition to our protein body, we developed to have all kinds of inner sensations that no other animals have.  We start to have inner yearnings for something out of this world.  That is not a terrestrial desire.  It comes from the spiritual worlds.  What we are learning now is how to work with that force, how to work with the inner minus and plus forces to reveal spiritual light.
Read the materials again and again and try to feel what is behind the words.

The answer will come.

Hi Everyone,

I am grateful studying in KabU. I have question that still linger in my thoughts until now.

If the reason why the Light or Creator scattered us as fragments was because – creatures tried to be like Creator…  Then why our goal is to be like Creator again? Didn’t he prevented creature before to be like Him?

Thanks everyone.

Den,
You are referring to “Adam’s sin in the garden”.
All of this needs to be understood from the correct perspective.   There was no free will in that system you are describing.  From our vantage point we need to understand what we are studying.  We are learning how the Light of the Creator, we will call it here, the Light of Bina, the light of bestowal will enter into Malchut, into creation and then mingle with Malchut and then raise her up to the level of Bina.  The shattering that you are referring to was so complete that it is not like breaking some rocks, it is more like breaking, smashing two things into powder and then mixing the powder of the two things together until they are indistinguishable.  From that state we can al if say that the it is the end of the descent of the Light from above to below.  From that point forward begins the sorting of those fallen sparks and the “evolution” and ascent.
We will learn about all of this in greater detail.
One thing is for sure, we will get a new perspective, actually the true ancient perspective on what all of the stories we’ve always heard really mean.
