Can I just use the pain from my past to cross the barrier And move up each of the 125 steps. Or does a new pain have to happen each time?
Dear Giovanni, your reply to Todd raises a question that I actually intended to ask previously – the Creator is 100% bestowal and his only desire is to bestow upon his creation. So, when you say that I have to restrain to ‘use the Will to Receive in any way unless I have confirmation that it will be for the sake of the Upper Force ‘ , by my understanding it means that in such case the Upper Force is ‘fulfilling his DESIRE TO BESTOW’ – but then, this fulfillment is some selfish act , meaning (in ‘ this word’s language’) the Creator is happy that I received his bestowal and ‘corrected my desire to receive’. Also, if in the beginning, before the creation, the Creator had a desire to bestow so its creation is by nature driven by the desire to receive – is then this desire to ‘receive’ a newly created desire activated as part of the ‘creation’? ( since it did not exist before the creation….) . And, by ‘ confirmation that I used the will to receive for the sake of Upper Force’ do you mean that this confirmation means that I used the will to receive for bestow on my friends and not for selfish purposes ?
Thank you 🙂
Hi Varda,
(1) We don’t speak about prior to Creation like realistic scientists don’t speak about before the Big Bang. If there was something before Creation, Kabbalists call that Atzmuto (His Essence), and we don’t attain it so we can’t speak about it.
(2) The only confirmation we can have for now that we are bestowing is that we are helping advance toward the spiritual goal – because that’s aligned with the Creator’s goal.
The path isn’t based on pain. There’s no need to feel any more pain. There’s a need to feel longing. Towards the spiritual goal only. You can’t bring yourself to longing. For that, you have to be connected to others. They want the spiritual goal. If you integrate with their desires, you bring yourself to longing for the spiritual goal. If I feel any suffering other than this, it’s because I don’t yet want to engage in spiritual longing in the way that spiritual longing is possible.
Is a painful terrible thing going to happen to me in order for me to cross the barrier and also do I need to have a terrible thing happen to me each step of the 125 steps?
Since a small child I have been learning by connection with Nature which “became” prayers up to “Creator” to benefit All Life in my early 20’s. According to the Wisdom of Kabbalah- I’m being pushed and developed by Nature through blows and booms; correct? Rather han guided I’m being pushed while I dragged by my subconscious desire and halted by egoistic desires?
So the primary shift now is to focus on Consciousness of Love of Friends and this will benefit the Whole? Benefit All Life? Bring contentment to Creator?
Thanks so much for all the teachings and guidance!! I’m truly grateful 💖
Does the Light that Reforms extend from a specific root in the 10 Sephirot or rather Emanate throughout?
The Reforming Light is the general force that helps a person where the person is. The fact that there are many hidden lights, forces we don’t know or need to know about – that’s true. It’s like a hospital in which a newborn is being cared for. A whole system is sustaining him. Who does he know about? Just mom who is next him.
How about boundaries?
There are people who take advantages so how can we know it’s to to set boundaries or continue sharing? One’s energy would burn out no?Who said anything about sharing? That term doesn’t exist in authentic Kabbalah. Don’t share unless that’s normal in the situation and there are clear incentives for doing so, according to the regular way that the world works. But not because I think it will bring spiritual benefit. You’re correct that that will provide others an opportunity to take advantage as well as think I’m strange. Kabbalah is not telling you to change your actions in this world. I need to change only my intention, from reception to bestowal. And here by the way it is also not “sharing” because an intention to bestow must be 100% or nothing, meaning I’m only doing it to give contentment to the Upper Force.
Many thanks Gianni, I understand more now.
My I ask another follow up question? Am I right to say, the intention switch from reception to bestowing pleasure to the Creator, only happening in a spiritual group?
Say for example, at work I do want my team to pass through certain challenges, so what do I do? I do it like for a spiritual group? Praying for others for unity,so that the Creator can come in and bestow his Light? or it will only works in spiritual group
If you want, you can pray for the whole world. However the laws at work are already clear, you know what they are. It’s better to work according to the laws that work there. That isn’t the control room of reality. That’s the level of results of the control room. There are different levels of the desire and the level one can start working with spiritually is the people who aim at the spiritual goal in a clear, cognizant way.
