Ask anything about week 4 lesson and materials and get an answer from a senior Kabbalah instructor.

What was the purpose of man’s flesh being created?

[Seth – KabU Instructor]

Susan,
Everything in this world is built from the upper structure.
Here is an excerpt from one of Baal HaSulam’s introductions that we will study later on together,
“Yet, this extension from Ein Sof in Partzuf AK does not fill the whole of reality as prior to the restriction. Rather, it is discerned with a Rosh and a Sof [end]: From above downward, its light stops at the point of this world, which is the concluding Malchut, as in the verse, “His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives.” And also from within outward, since as there are ten Sefirot KHB TM from above downward, and Malchut concludes the AK from below, so there are ten Sefirot KHB TM from within outward, called marrow, bones, tendons, flesh, and skin [Mocha, Atzamot, Gidin, Bassar, and Or]. The skin is Malchut, which ends the Partzuf from the outside. In that respect, Partzuf AK is considered a mere thin line compared to Ein Sof, which fills the whole of reality. This is so because the Partzuf of skin ends it and limits it from all sides, from the outside, and it cannot expand and fill the entire restricted space. Thus, only a thin line remains standing in the middle of the space.”

does the beings willingness to receive all the light include any experience available in the material? or does the being restrict the type of experience  in order to receive more light?

[Seth – KabU Instructor]

Terry,
The belly is only so big, the hands can only hold so much.  To receive something eternal we need an eternal vessel, not a material vessel.
Seth@KabU

[Terry]

are any of these phases existent in the material? or are these spiritual states that occurred prior to the shattering?

[Seth – KabU Instructor]

Terry,
We are learning about the structure of reality, the primordial blueprint of all of creation.
These same phases are found in the development of everything including our thoughts and actions.

¿Mediante cuáles prácticas, preceptos o procedimientos puedo asegurarme de recibir los dones y dádivas que el creador nos otorga, para encaminarme hacia la adhesión al Creador, sin que mi naturaleza egoísta interrumpa o desvíe la intención del Creador, a fin de no apartarme del sendero de la luz y, así, no continuar en el sendero del sufrimiento? ¿Cómo puedo afiliarme al Cielo irreversiblemente, y dejar de optar por la autoridad de la Tierra, a fin de no seguir sufriendo lo que mi naturaleza egoísta me conduce a hacer?

[Seth – KabU Instructor]

Enrique,
Now, we are studying about the laws of nature.
Later we will work together with other students to work on making these bestowing actions between us together.

I think I have to go back to previous lessons because the knowledge acquired is starting to get blurry and I cannot even formulate a question. Maybe it’s advancing too fast for me, or I Am complicating concepts that are meant to be simple?

[Yusbel]

Are these laws valid the real world? How to recognize when to receive and from who?

[Seth – KabU Instructor]

Yusbel,
For now we are learning the laws of the upper world, how our reality is governed and conducted, what are the forces operating on us from there we will learn how that relates to our world.
For example, and this is just an example: one approach would be to create a lot of laws in this world to get people to do the right thing.  Another approach is to raise people to treat others well and to have hearts full of love and then whatever situation people get into, they will act correctly, you don’t need to create endless laws in this world to modify behavior because people are inclined to act for the good of others.
Similarly when we learn who we are, what are the forces operating on us, how they relate to each other, etc, then what to do with our hands and feet is not the main concern, because the heart is correct.

Liora,
It’s not so simple, but it is a new language. Good idea to go back and review.  Also keep going forward.  Imagine a new baby in the family.  Everyone around her is speaking and she doesn’t understand what is going on.  So it will take a little time until these words and concepts settle in.  It will happen.  Efforts and time and it will happen.

Hello,

Thank you for taking my question.

How can we obtain equivalence of form with the Creator (Ein Sof?) if the Creator has no form? I thought the Creator is infinite and has no form. Is Kabbalah referring to equivalence of “thought”  form?

[Seth – KabU Instructor]

Lisa,
As usual, in your question is half the answer 🙂
The creation will always be a will to receive and the Creator is endlessly bestowing.  So those two things are opposite.
But when your child wants to give you a messy painting, your act of receiving is towards her, giving.  Imagine if you rejected her?!  So of course you receive it in order to give her pleasure.
So the form that our matter takes will be to bestow, but the matter itself does not change.
