Tony speaks about the screen, and its importance. This story, allegory he presented about the two friends, and the meal the one friend was preparing. I get the basic concept, but am still not clear on how to embrace, and use the screen on a daily basis. Can you further elaborate on how to use the use on a daily basis or direct me to where I can further learn about the screen.
Thank you,
JamesJames,
The masach, the screen that you are referring to is a spiritual organ. You have an eardrum and waves strike your eardrum and that is how you perceive sound. Sound does not travel into an empty hole on our head, the sound waves strike the eardrum.
Similarly the world is full of Light but we don’t have a screen (“eardrum”) for the spiritual light to strike so that we can perceive it.
Another example is sunlight, it travels millions of miles through space…so why is space dark between earth and the sun? Because we don’t see the light until it hits a screen, then we can perceive the light, before that, it is there for all of those millions of miles but we can’t see it.So we don’t have a button to push or a mantra to say to make the screen turn on. It is built over through our efforts in the study and in the Kabbalistic group to draw upon us the influence of the upper light which changes our nature slowly slowly from egoistic intentions to altruistic intentions. When our intention changes to be altruistic then we have a screen that is letting us feel the spiritual qualities.
Seth@KabUSeth,
To further discuss, and explore the masach, the screen in this process, we the creature seek to become like the creator. Is it not somewhere in the Bible like Genesis 1:27 wherein “God created man in his own image. . .”
Okay so the creator creates his creature in his own image that is us, and everything else. We at some point figure out that bestowal is somehow superior to receiving. Are we not both the creator, and creature everyday all the time already?
Ten years ago, I became a father to a beautiful boy. I was present for the entire process. There was a point right after our son’s birth that I was filled beyond description with this tangible feeling. Learning this today, and reflecting on our son’s birth that feeling was simultaneously a feeling of EVERYTHING. The act of bestowal, and the act of unbounded joy.
That being said there is nothing broken, nothing to be fixed, we are perfect for we have become both the creator, and the creature. So what is the point of studying Kabbalah, The Zohar, etc.?
Thank you,
James
Seth,
So why am I here you ask. Tony has spoken about the various stages one goes through in ones life. Well reflecting on my life I feel, and sense that the point in my heart has been active for quite a number of years. I trust, and follow where it leads me to. So I am here because the point in my heart has brought me here.
What do I want that I do not have, you ask. Simply put________________________.
Let us see why the point in my heart has brought me here.
Thank you Seth,
James
the key is not to feel lack of love, if I’m giving all my love I can not feel lack or empty of love? Is this right sentiment to be the giver, I will receive the fulfillment by giving all my love.
Liss,
You are approaching the answer with your present mind.
You will not feel spirituality with you mind of today.
It is like a child understanding the emotions of the parents.
But in general, through the process of studying and working in the group of kabbalists, we grow our desire for the Light until we have a true desire for the light.
We are today in a field of endless light, but like a child sitting next to the parents, the little one does not have the vessels to feel all of the other things that are happening.
By making our desire more loving, we become like the Creator, when we become like Him in our intention, His light shines in our vessel and we feel spirituality fulfillment.

Hi,
Is it true that one can not change his desire? Since you only work according to the plan that the creator has traced for you? In that case how dose the correction then happen?
Precilia,
The desire comes from the Creator and it develops towards a spiritual birth.
In the same way that a mango seed will not become an apple.
A point in the heart will become a spiritual person.
What is in our hands is to plant ourselves in an environment where that seed can be nourished and grow in a healthy way, or if we will advance over a long period of time of making many mistakes finding our way.

“When one pleads to proceed blindly, relying only on one’s
faith in the magnificence of the Creator, rather than by realizing His power and grandeur, and only by using reason in proportion to one’s faith, the Creator is compelled to limit His disclosure.”What does it mean to use reason only in proportion to faith? Faith is the sensation of the creator, right? But what reason means here is not so clear to me.
Peter,
Is this quote from the lesson material this week?Regarding your question, the Creator created a will to receive.
That is our matter. When our desire is filled, , we know within our reason, that it is good. When we feel fulfilled, we know that it is good. We are no longer deficient, we are now filled.
This is like an animal who is led by his desires, he just moves to fill his desires and he has no free choice in this.
On the other hand, when our kli feels empty, we have to use a power above our reason to feel that the Creator is good. This is called faith above reason. The Creator is felt by the power of faith. So there is the filling of the empty vessel which is a pleasure and there is the connection to the Giver which is a great spiritual pleasure.
The work between reason and faith is called the work in two lines, by these two legs we advance.
Seth@KabU
The Creator’s intention to create the creature and bring it to perfection. This is also called the “ Thought of Creation.”
How is a person on the path to approach a thought, having a thought, or entertaining a thought when we see the power of thought creating so much separation and destruction among us on planet Earth?
Robert,
Our thoughts are a result of our desires.
We are desire.
All of our thoughts sort our feelings, organize them, think of how to fulfill the desire with what is available.
Take Robert with 100 kilograms of desire and put him in the middle of the Amazon and the thoughts will figure out how to fulfill the desire there.
Take the same Robert and put him in the middle of Los Angeles and his thoughts will run to figure out how to fulfill the same 100 kilograms of desire.
Our desires come from the Creator, from Nature that raises us, we didn’t choose our genes, our parents, our teachers, our environment and all of this is what shaped our desire and our thoughts run to fill those desires.
