Does mimicing the will to bestow include producing a concept such as an art piece, or can it only be found in topics of reproduction? Thanks in advance.
hi, first, how do I develop the screen? and second, how do I change my intention if the default intention is to receive not to bestow? third, will there be a lesson where we learn the 72 Names of God?
zeinab,
We are a will to receive. That will not change. That is what the Creator created.
He wants to fill us will delight. So, we need to have the quality to receive.
The problem is that being receivers we are 100% opposite from Him who is the bestower.
So we can receive or not receive, but by not receiving, we don’t fulfill the plan of creation, we remain eternally empty and the Creator’s plan of creating a creature and filling it with delight cannot come to fruition.
So there was a correction on creation that was made, that the creature can receive, but receive in order to give contentment to the Creator.
That is called the correction of creation.
When you have completed these fundamental courses you can enter the graduate environment where we being to study together the texts that describe all of these processes and draw the lights upon us that helps us go through this transformation.
In short, we are talking about rising from the degree of beast where everything one does is for his own sake to the degree of Adam, of man, to be similar to the Creator. As His intention is to bestow, so our intention is to bestow.
This comes from growing the desire for spirituality by drawing the light from the books of the kabbalists and engaging in the inner, practical kabbalah that happens between the kabbalists.

hello
my question is does the path of life and the path of suffering along with the concept of the five phases does govern the universal spiritual connectivity of the entire spiritual world that we all lives in? and if that is so,,will this be religious belief or its scientific.?
Hi,
<p style=”text-align: left;”>We together are studying a system, a method, that was revealed by people that we can call scientists, although it’s not what we today think of as a scientist in a lab coat. These kabbalists are people who discovered some thing and and recorded their findings and taught them to their students, and the subsequent generations who are also able to attain results as well. However, these attainments are in perception of reality, inner perception, inner feelings. This was called religion, meaning attainment of godliness, which is very different than what we would call religious belief today, which is very far removed from attaining godliness. Therefore, the work of the Kabbalists is concerned with adhesion, attainment of godliness, and it’s not a fantasy, and it’s not in a persons imagination, but it is actually an attainment as it says, as if holding in one’s hand .

Thank you for including the “Four Phases of Life’s Foundation” video – I thoroughly enjoyed the discussion. My question is: The four elements: fire, water, air and earth were introduced in the video, but there was no clearly stated conclusion as to whether or not the Kabbalists assign fire, water, air and earth to the 4 behinot aleph – daleth. I understand there was some discussion about Greek philosophers learning from the Kabbalist prophets and modifying what they learned, but would you be able to bring my question to a conclusion? Many thanks.
Craig,
Of course.
Here is a great post from our teacher the kabbalist Rav Laitman about it:

Hello,
I guess I have a general question. Something was reiterated in this week’s lesson in one of the videos with Gil Shir: the fact that the stories in the bible are symbolic, or something like that? For example, the story of the garden of Eden is “something that happens inside of you.” But in the lessons, there are instances where there is mention of Adam or Abraham or Noah. So these people actually existed? Adam was a real person, but the story of the garden of Eden is symbolic? Same for Abraham; he was a real person, but the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah is symbolic? What about the story of the great flood?
Will,
Maybe you understand already, but for it to be really felt it takes a little more time, but to receive answers in the wisdom of kabbalah, it doesn’t enter the ear. All of the study with the mind and the heart are in order to transform us.
Here is a link to a book by one of the veteran students of our teacher Rav Laitman.
This book does a great job explaining many of your questions.

Hello & thank you for your feedback,
At the risk of over simplifying the ‘screen’, could I be using/practicing the screen when I focus on the giver of the pleasure along with receiving the pleasure?
