before restriction, meature of light and desire are equal ,and after restriction desire receive 20% of light with massach (intention of bestow).
does massach make pleasure of receiving less than pleasure of bestowing?
Wait. You mean during the Four Phases of Direct Light? There, there is no Restriction yet. There, we’re not even talking about a Screen. Only after the Restriction (Tzimzum) we talk about a Screen.
You’re asking about Bina, that she decides not to receive, except for the Light of Hassidim. But this is not on top of the complete desire of Malchut. It’s on a small desire. It’s like a small child wearing his dad’s suit, and he says, “I’m big, I’m out on my own now.” So, then he decides how much to receive, how much not; but he’s still totally under the power of the parent, not even considered to be separate yet.
But in that state, Bina does decide that it’s better to bestow than receive. It’s a higher pleasure, more exalted. Because in that I can be like the Upper Force that only bestows.
And I can still answer your question. The Masach doesn’t make the pleasure of bestowing more than the pleasure of receiving, greater. The pleasure of bestowing is greater, and a billion times greater than the pleasure in receiving. But it depends on whether I have a Kli for that pleasure; or do I only have a Kli for reception. “There is no Light without a Kli.”
Going over this video again, the question arises on Tzimtzum Aleph. How does a creation that is only the will to receive get the right/ability to make this restriction?
Hello!
Tzimtzum Aleph is a restriction, a law. So we don’t receive any Light, here in Malchut. But we are still able to feel pleasure sometimes. Not only egoistic/corporeal plesures. We still love and care for our friends. We would still risk our lives to save another human being. At least some of us would.
Is it the pleasure from the animate level? And Kabbalah describes some other pleasure, which is unimaginable for me right now?
You’re right, the Restriction is a law, and so it would seem we’re able to breach it – that’s why ours is called the imaginary world. We’re convinced that we can receive. That conviction is what drives our lives. Later, the accountant will come and show us that we made all the wrong calculations. We did not receive, and if we would’ve aimed each moment towards the attainment of spirituality, instead of aiming at the mirage of reception we would’ve attained a true, beautiful, eternal life while still in this world.
