Preparation Question: What is freedom and how, by the help of the Reforming Light, can we acquire it?

[Andrey]

Know that there is no One else besides him

Freedom is composed of our will to receive and within that desire a point in the heart for our internal yearning for spirituality. In preparing for each Kabbalah lesson and Zohar reading having a strong intention to connect and to want the light to come and affect us; the Reforming light will purify, correct, and fill us. We keep inspired to pull this light upon us and the rest will come.

[Jay (Chaim S.)]

Baal HaSulam writes of two experiences of freedom. One is our initial choice of an environment, Kabbalist texts and guides to aid us in attracting the Reforming Light. We begin to build our kli / vessel to hold more Reforming Light. Our corrections (re-forming) occur and when we reach the uppermost stage and receive only to bestow on the Creator we experience another freedom, that of escape from the Angel of Death.

Freedom means to have a choice, now kabbalah teaches that man has no free choice but that the Creator gives him good and bad, maybe freedom is to learn to accept everything one gets as the bestowal of the Creator, the good and the bad (as one feels it). I hope the light will help me to understand and feel this.

[Juule]

I see freedom as rising above the ego that only desires for itself alone. I see the reforming light as doing what its name suggests as re-forming the ego that would desire to bestow.

[Lilla]

I would say, freedom is freedom from ego, from myself there is connectedness and bestowal. This is freeing I think. We achieve this freedom by clinging to the Creator so that He reveals Himself and the ego (separation, lack, suffering) proportionally disappears.
