Up to this point, I have never thought or heard of spiritual shame.. Are there possibly people who want or enjoy spiritual shame? So sort of arrogance?
So do I understand it right that “the four faces” is the way, mecanism for our growt all the way up until we are corrected (punto esclamations do not work), Thank you
Here is a situation involving a couple that was resolved in a manner involving shame. Was the resolution ultimately an act of bestowal or simply an act of egoistic reception? The wife brought the couple four children, one of who died tragically. She became severely depressed and he dug into his work and self-medicated emotionally (not chemically). One day he reported to his wife he had had a sordid encounter with a service person. She left the country for a pre-planned trip and when she returned she said she was disgusted and wanted a divorce. He agreed, and told the oldest son what he had done. The youngest daughter picked up the mother, never to return to live with the man again. Now she lives with the youngest daughter, helping her care for a son born two years after the divorce was final. The man and the woman are now best of friends, though they never meet in person. Now the daughter is expecting a baby girl. Was the man’s shameful behavior a small price to pay for the happy outcome? Or will his shame continue to limit his growth?
Nothing from the past needs to limit one’s spiritual advancement. I can’t say it in advance, but what has already happened was all the Creator. I have just one problem, that I’m still taking credit. A Kabbalist only looks forward. From now on, all my thoughts and intentions, I want them to be for the Creator, I don’t want to forget about the Upper Force that fills all of reality. And I’m not ashamed of anything because He’s doing everything. “Go to the Creator who made me, and tell Him what an ugly creation He’s made.”
Hi Mohamed,
A person needs to go from our natural state where all our desires and thoughts are in order to receive, to a state where on top of my natural desire I have an intention that is in order to bestow to the Upper Force, which all my desires and everything else come. Then I feel the Upper Light becuase it is bestowing and I am bestowing, and so we feel each other through equivalence of form. Of course, doing this requires mastery of the entire wisdom of Kabbalah. This is the only thing we’re in this world to do.
