Hi, I just realised I might have asked too many questions along that course, sorry for that, I feel just really intruiged by all of this, please feel free to just answer whichever seems to fit with the content of the course. Thank you.
Is Kabbalistic work including working in a group, in order to learn to bestow to friends, and by aquiring that ability to greater depths, allowing to attain the light more and more? Because only in bestowing, in the condition of Malchut, light can possibly be revealed?
I am wondering, which state Malchut will get into as she restricts herself from all that she is plus all her connection towards the other phases of light. I cannot think of a more „traumatic transition“ … and that state of deprivation… wońt she become „depressed“… or turn into something else, alienating her self from all she was before? I know spirituality doesńt work according to human psychology, but there was this deep impact of shame. And then, if I would compare how Malchut is affected by that „once and forever decision“ and all the loss and restriction it contains, I would think it changes her nature?
No, Malchut is going into a desirable state. It’s not like our state where we don’t yet feel ourselves as participants or having any choice in the matter. I saw, for example, that it’ll be good for my little son’s mind and heart to block his device. I saw that he was addicted. How does he feel about this and how do I feel? I feel great about it, for his sake. As for Malchut, she sees how this will be great, we don’t yet.
Hi,
Why don’t we consider this restriction as a 5th phase after Malchut?
I have another question which is more generic please : Those phases apply to the human soul evolution? How can I know which phase I’m in?
Restriction is a response to the 4 Phases of Direct Light. Meaning something comes from Above – Direct Light – and seemingly there is a response from below, from the Desire: Restriction.
You can’t know which phase you’re in because you’re not in one of these Phases. These are prior to any individual person. We’re in a different state, after a Shattering of the Desire that is referred to here.
Was Malchut fill with the Light when she made the first restriction? If yes, where did the Light go to? Or the moment she made that decision, the Light that was inside her dissipated? If so, where did the Light go to?
You said that there is a rule in the Upper world, and that is, the Upper becomes a law for the lower. But it was malchut that made the 1st restriction decision and not the Upper force, the Creator. Please, can you elucidate me on that?
Thank, you
Malchut was filled with the Light. After the First Restriction, it becomes Surrounding Light.
“A decision for the Upper becomes a law for the lower.” So, Malchut of Eyn Sof made the Restriction. If it was a decision for her, for us it’s an iron law.
General Question :
Could you explain why it is ? disrespectful to spell the name of God/creator in text ??
Ie Kabu speaks about HaVaYa rather than Yod- He- @- He?
is it also incorrect to speak Gods/creators name ?Also : Could you give a definition of Behina Daleth for the glossary ?
I couldn’t find it ?
Its good to have all the terms to review if Hebrew is new to you .
Thank youIt’s a relic of the fact that the inner spiritual work, when it became necessary to conceal the true wisdom, was turned into whatever signs could be found in our world. This particular tradition follows from the rule that I “do not name what I do not attain.” If I have not attained the Creator in a way that I attain specifically that Name, then I shouldn’t use the name. So, there are such formalities – not for the Creator’s sake, He doesn’t mind; but rather for my sake, as a reminder that I should not be silly, using different names for an Upper Force that I myself did not attain, but which I heard from Kabbalists, who wrote those names because the forms of the Kelim in which they revealed the Upper Light were in the forms of such letters that spell those names.
Malchut is Hebrew for Kingdom, or reign, as in “I shall rule” [instead of the Creator]
