You said that the First Restriction created a law, called equivalence of form. And from the point onward, never again will one experience Light without being similar to it in advance. You also said that, how would Malchut become similar to the Light if she is the polar opposite to it? You said that, it turns out that this can be accomplish by way of what is called the Masach (Srceen). And that the screen is spiritual perception and that we don’t have it yet.
Questions:
1- I wish to ask, that law consists of what, I mean the law of equivalence of form? how can we align according to that law?
2- What is equivalence and what is a form?
3- What do you mean by being similar to it in advance? What does advance mean?
4- What is the difference between the Masach and the equivalence of form? What is equivalence of form in the Hebrew language?Thank, you
1. The original desire + intention for the sake of The Giver.
2. Equivalence is actually similarity between the Desire and The Light. Form – I recommend reading this: https://kabbalahmedia.info/en/sources/5hgo3hY6
3. Meaning the opposite of how the ego demands: “Show me that spirituality is sublime, and believe me, I’ll work in whatever way is necessary for me to be in spirituality.” Instead, I need to live every moment as I would were spirituality revealed, without proof.
4. The Masach is the adaptor without which there is oppositeness between Light and Kli.
5. Hebrew letters are diagrams representing the ways the Light could enter the Kli according to the law of Equivalence of Form.
That’s what we’re learning in the Young Group program. What we learn each lesson is another part of the picture. Keeping all those things together means behaving like you would if you were in spirituality. There’s more to it than that, of course, but all of what you learn there, if you could do it all consistently, would be the max a human can do to invite the Upper Force to impart you the things we’re talking about in Blueprint of Creation.
Im a bit confused about tzim tzum aleph the first restriction and masach the screen. The first applies to malchut and indirectly to us so we cannot perceive the upper worlds. The screen (masach) gradually allows us to reconnect with the upper worlds, through tzimtzum aleph?
Hi Carlos, you’re combining together the process from and the process by which we rise from our world. Tzimzum Aleph applies to the process from above down after which all the worlds cascade. From our world we need to study and work with the wisdom of Kabbalah to eventually make the Restriction. Later there’s also something called a Masach (screen), which is an addition to the Restriction we make on all egoistic pleasures.
hello Gainni
my question is,how does this lights,nefesh,rauch,neshama,yechida translate into our concious reality,where does this calculation of how much i can recieve in order to bestow takes place, if am not in control of my thoughts?
Hi Gianni
From the Rav`s blog, in this chapter: How does the surrounding light determine my thoughts?
Thank you
Adelina
Hi Adelina,
The future actually determines the present. It seems to us that it is the opposite way around: the past led up to and determined the present state. In fact, because the final state is necessary, the state before it has to happen, and the state before that has to happen, and back and back until it gets to where we are today. My thoughts are those the Upper Force is giving me about how to realize His plan. To everyone He is doing this, and so all the thoughts of everyone are guiding us towards His aim. We think they are our thoughts but they’re implanted in us, and then we realize them.
I don’t understand how by me helping my neighbor fix his car I’m going to Bestow. How you translate bestowing in this physical world?
Give me an example of how can I use my Desire correctly here on Earth.
Please!
Who told you to help your neighbor fix his car? 🙂
You can only bestow by changing your intention. For now, even if you will help your neighbor fix his car, you will do it because of some calculation for self-benefit. Even if the only benefit will be that he will see you as a good neighbor, and then you’ll be living in a nicer neighborhood, with more good will among the neighbors. That’s actually considered bestowing in order to receive, using giving in order to get even more. And that’s how it is with all our calculations, whether we identify our egoistic intentions or not. If we identified them – well then we would not be able to live with ourselves, seeing that all we think about 24/7 is about how to exploit everyone and everything around us. Therefore, just do towards your neighbors what you would like to do, according to what calculations you would have made. But don’t do it because you think Kabbalah said to do it.
Kabbalah only tells us that we need to draw a force from the study of Kabbalah. It can change our intentions and with different intentions we will see a better world, a completely new world.
I read during partzofim because of surrounding light appear desires below tabur step by step ,that is Sof
are toch and Sof simultaneous ? or Sof appears after toch?
Hi Arian,
The desire whole was created and it exists. To be able to receive in it, it needs to be in a different form than it is as it was created by the Creator. It needs to be Restricted completely. Then, it can be divided into parts. There is a part that cannot be received in at all: Sof. There is a part that could be received in, in order to bestow: Guf. And there is the part in which this calculation is made: Rosh.
