Does my experience as parent, friend and professional lend itself to receiving the upper light and ecome more like the Creator, bestowing? “I contain multitudes” is a line from Walt Whitman and a title of a recent book about the billions and trillions of small creatures that usually quietly inhabit us and usually lend to our living, but sometimes act in a corrective way, called a “disease.” Do these phenomena inform us anything about our progress toward the Light?
Our world is a projection of the spiritual world. I need to be in spirituality to see how. But if I study Kabbalah, then, because I’ve been learning from Kabbalists, I notice things that remind me of what I’ve learned. That’s the second question.
To the first question, what I can learn from this world is how everything that I do, no matter in which form, however noble, is all in service to my own desire to receive. Except that sometimes it wants to receive like this, sometimes like that, and there are as many forms of it as there are creatures in that body you mentioned.
Hi Gianni. I hope this isn’t too off topic ..
If the Zohar is incomplete by itself, how do we know we are getting a full picture from it?
If we are getting a full picture from it, then what do the other missing volumes contain or offer?
If they’re missing, how do we know they exist? Is there mention of them somewhere?
If we know they exist, do we know what they contain?
Are the missing volumes just further clarification of the Zohar? Or something more?
Hi Michael,
The final manuscript of Zohar for All is in the works, and much of it is available for free on our site.
To your other question, what can I say? Kabbalists feel what stands behind the letters of the Zohar. They describe the spiritual world they inhabit. And therefore they know when something is missing, whether before or following the part that we do have. We don’t get a whole picture, in fact we don’t get any of the picture from the Zohar. We don’t feel the world of forces standing behind it. So, it’s ok that some of it is missing because we study it for the Surrounding Light that it brings upon us to correct us. Though it would be nice to have the additional volumes, I guess it was decided that what we have is enough, and if we’ll advance to where we need more, they’ll be uncovered.
Sorry, one more thing .. where can I find a complete copy of Zohar For All? I found an example of it at kabbalahinfo.com but I have not found any books called, Zohar For All there. I know about the copy with Sulam commentary, I have that. But where is this elusive Zohar For All work? Is it still being worked on? Or is it right in front of me somewhere?
Hi Gianni thanks for the lesson  please i would like to know what is the daily practice in Kabbalah
in order to accelerate the one s spiritual progress?
First of all you need to study because in the study there is a special Light that works on you. You’re asking about the implementation of the study, so first you have to study quite a bit. The practice, aside from study, is every day trying to break through to the feeling and perception of the Creator. There is much in that, though.
Hi Gianni,
Will our reshimo ever be revealed to us? If so, how? And what qualities are required?
By the way, your concise method of communication is very much appreciated!
Everything will be revealed to each one: where you are, were and where we’re going, and the good and beautiful reason why; the reason for everything leading up to this and why every single thing needed to be that way, and how we wouldn’t do it a bit differently. The reason we don’t yet identify a particular Reshimo we’re in is because it includes absolutely everything in our feeling, mind, everything. All that if I imagine it’s not past or future, but above timespace, including what inclination towards spirituality I have, is the reshimo I’m in.
From where I stand right now, thinking about the desire to receive smacks of hedonism which in its basest form can’t be good. Does the perception of the need to receive change to something more positive as one ascends the ladder to Eyn Sof?
<p style=”text-align: left;”>Hello Gianni, I remember hearing somewhere in Kabbalah studies that we “should fake it until you make it.” It was said in context of having not yet achieved the next state. I don’t know how to fake it before the Creator. I can’t imagine being insincere would bring pleasure to Him. Is my assessment solely based on pride?</p>
I wouldn’t use that phrase. We need to “play the state” of the Upper Degree. We need to learn what the Upper Degree entails and try to do those things. I simply can’t enter until I’m already like the degree, and the Light will not make me similar to that degree unless I am demonstrating my yearning to be like it.
