Hi .by controling the creator, you mean as we change our intention in malkhut we can change the behavior of light in z a and bina? right?
Concerning: “I shall rule”. I understand the concept (from your previous answers in this forum).
Give me coke, here you go. Give me steak, here you go. Malchut is in control, it can receive or it can reject reception.
But, if I want an apple, the real WANT, a desire for an apple, so strong like drinking a glass of water after crossing the desert. Well, I can eat an apple, why not…but eating an apple when I really really want it is something completly different. But that WANT is not ‘generated’ by me. I have the want/desire or I don’t have it.
So Malchut THINKS that it’s in control, but Creator generated a desire (for an apple) and Malchut then asks for that apple (and not for let’s say for a cereal, because it does not want a cereal, or the want is weaker compared to the want for an apple). And Malchut thinks it’s so smart, so in control, but it’s not, because it can’t control which desires it has. The only control it has is how those desires get filled, or in other words, it can play a little, but Crator knows that sooner or later (because that’s the meaning of the Thought of Creation; it’s already ‘written’ what shall be) Malchut will come to it’s senses and do the right reception.
Am I understanding this correctly?
Of course it’s all known in the Thought of Creation what will be. It’s all so that the Created Being will clarify where it is free and where it is not free. It has to first falsely believe it is free so that it can find out what freedom isn’t. So freedom isn’t where all my actions are secretly operated by the Upper Force and I realize my inclination without asking any questions.
Hello My Name is Kebede Mamo Dessis
What is the light that was revealed on the first day of creation ?
How do we reveal light?
That doesn’t refer to our world. It doesn’t mean that the universe was dark with only cosmic dust and then the sun came out, or something like that. This refers to the development of the Desire to Receive, without which there is nothing in which the pleasure (the Light) can be felt. So, the beginning is the creation of the desire that is essentially one with the Light. That is, the instant it wants, the fulfillment is already inside, such that the Light and the Vessel are indistinguishable, like a mother with her newborn. It’s not even considered receiving when the baby breastfeeds. In fact, the mom gets all the delight by the fact that her baby is eating and the baby has no identity separate from his mother. Now, we’re many degrees after that state. We have our own Desire to Receive and the Upper Force does not automatically fulfill it. Now we need to develop an Intention for why we receive. That sounds simple however it’s the entire wisdom of Kabbalah that is needed just for this.
Why did the creator create the creatures in such a way as to have it go through all these phases of direct light? If the creator truly wanted to “do good” why didn’t the creator just create a creature that could receive all the goodness and all the pleasures that he desired to bestow upon them?
Why is the creation designed this way? This is probably the biggest issue for me to get my head around, I just don’t understand that if this is a truly loving and giving creator that truly wants to “BESTOW” to his created creatures, what is the reason for the puzzle and the challenge as described here in the the four phases of direct Light? I’m having trouble accepting this…….
Hi Linda,
As you know, this is only the beginning of the “puzzle”, before even the root of our creation, which we certainly cannot justify, since if we weigh all our sufferings on one scale and our pleasures on the other it is clear that the Upper Force did not make a good world for us. Such a world you would not design for your worst enemy. Nevertheless, we have to first learn, and understand later. There’s such a lens through which we do justify and agree with the providence of the Upper Force to such an extent that we would not change a single detail in all of the creation, taking all times and individuals and the whole into account. Let’s say they cook you a dish but you lack all the senses to perceive it except for the saltiness. You conclude that this is an atrocious dish and curse the chef. We’re in such a situation towards the Upper Force. Why not give us all the correct senses to begin with, so that we would not have to build them on our own, through the study of Kabbalah and drawing the force of nature that can build them? That we will discover as well, and justify it.
in last question I became completely confused and make mistake with rising malchut to bina,we always now definitions but by reading some article become confused, in letter 40 baal HaSulam described ,by giving gift action is bestowing but aim is lo lishma,
below tabor ,malchut to prevent of disparity of form reject light by rising up to tifferet, where altruistic desire exist.and this rejecting is like bina ,when does this state happen in us and what are our feelings on that state?
thank you for your answers and your attention, I am very happy to be here,
always I doubt on my understanding and checking my understanding is my main request,
….desires in two state can connect to each other when they have two pol,
1,,receiving in order to bestow that is bestowing
2,,bestowing in order to receive that is receiving and also is rising malchut to bina
malchut is desire in order to receive and enjoy from receiving ,when by importance of something in outside appears love in malchut ,it enjoy from bestowing or must enjoy from bestowing.that is called rising malchut to bina,and receiving in order to receive is lower than bestowing in order to receive.
