¿Cómo puedo saber si mi deseo, a partir del estudio de la sabiduría de la Kabbalah, ha empezado a ser corregido conforme al pensamiento de la Creación? ¿A través de cuáles señales puedo asegurarme de estar apartándome del camino del Sufrimiento y, en cambio, estar aproximándome al camino de la Luz?
Google translation of the question:
How can I know if my desire, based on the study of the wisdom of Kabbalah, has begun to be corrected according to the thought of Creation? Through what signs can I ensure that I am moving away from the path of Suffering and, instead, approaching the path of Light?

Hi Enrique,
To the extent that we correct ourselves, to that extent we reveal the Creator in practice.

Hi Artese,
The Creator’s qualities are pure bestowal and love. If we want to reach equivalence of form with Him, we too need to aspire to those same qualities.

Keep in mind that we practice this type of spiritual work in the Kabbalistic group. First we build a strong connection with other points in the heart together with us on the spiritual path. This becomes like a nucleus. Once we build that nucleus, we will be able to add to it wider and wider circles of the world, until we’ll come to include the whole world in that connection. But this is gradual work. And until we build that nucleus, we have nothing with which to do any spiritual work towards the world.

Cómo puedo aprender a reconocer las señales del Creador, es decir, Su intención, Su Voluntad, lo que Él tiene en Sus planes para mí, sin que mi naturaleza egoísta interfiera en el mensaje del Creador?
Google Translation of the question:
How can I learn to recognize the signs of the Creator, that is, His intention, His Will, what He has in His plans for me, without my egoistic nature interfering with the Creator’s message?

Hi Enrique,
For that, you need to correct your egoistic nature. This is done through the force of the light that we extract, especially during the Kabbalistic studies.

What are the 613 laws of love? How to identify the law in each circumstance and therefore the desire that must be corrected?
Hi Renata,
There are 613 spiritual desires and relative to each spiritual desire there is a law, a process by which we correct that desire. Keep in mind that in practice we don’t work according to some list of desires, but only according to whatever desire is awakened at the moment.

I have two questions. To understand the thought and intention of the artist behind their creation. Is this a way to view all of nature around us. To see the beauty and depth of wisdom in nature is this what you mean by trying to become closer to understanding the thought of the creator who is the artist behind all we perceive? Example is for me to view and look at a tree in nature and know that this thought of the creator will bring me closer to understanding and help bring me closer to Equivalence of form?
Another question I have is as I was discussing my Kaballah course with my therapist she asked me if EnSof is the same as YAWAH that is in the Bible?
Hi Joel,
1. The artist made everything through the quality of bestowal. We on the other hand look at everything through the lens of our egoistic nature. As such, it’s impossible for us to understand Him. We’re simply operating on two different frequencies. But if we correct our egoistic nature and acquire the nature of bestowal, then we’ll become like Him and understand the reason why He created everything the way it is.

2. Ein Sof is commonly translated from Hebrew as infinity. But here the literal translation “without end” is more accurate. This is referring to the state in which the desire is completely fulfilled, to the max. Similar to how you can take a cup and fill it up to the max where it’s impossible to add any more liquid to the cup. Even if you add one more drop it will just spill over. So if you take a desire and fill it with pleasure to the max, that state is called Ein Sof. Keep in mind that we’re talking about spiritual desires and spiritual fulfillment, meaning that of bestowal.

Hi Joel,
No, these are different things.
In general, Kabbalists ascribe many names to the Creator, such as “I am that I am”, HaVaYaH (Yawah), and many more. This is because we research this thing called the Creator through our desires. Every time we correct a different desire, we reveal a different aspect of this thing called the Creator, and thereby give it a different name. But ultimately these are all phenomena within our desire.
As for the Creator Himself, His essence, what exists outside of our desires, we don’t have the tools to measure such things, so we don’t talk about it. It’s important to keep this in mind so we stay within the realm of science and not venture into religion or philosophy.
