What blew my mind during the last weeks tuition is the relationship between Adam’s “ Raziel the Angle” written 5780 years ago, Abraham’s “Book of Creation” written 3800 years ago, “Moses’s The Bible” written 3200 years ago, Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai’s” “The Zohar” written 1800 years ago, The Ari – Etz Hayem’s “Tree of Life” written between 1534-1572 and Baal Hasulan’s “The study of the 10 Seferot” written before 1954, all these documents can be attributed to the same soul carried down from Adam. Thus highlighting the process of reincarnation.
I love hearing the story of the friend making the dinner for his friend. It made me respond to my friend who bestows so much on me in a different way. I told her that I feel so loved now by her loving me in the way that she does. I feel now I must be of value to have have someone so loving love me so much and how much I appreciate the ways she shows me that. She felt wonderful when I told her that and she even bestowed even more on me…I was thankful to the creator…I saw Him/her in action..We both felt the point in the heart together now , instead of me feeling less than or guilty for her love. I realised we are the same…
I’m reading and re-reading Attaining the Worlds Beyond. And it reminds me of those lion dances they do in China, where they are on 20ft poles, and each step must land in the exact right spot. The thing about this book is that every time I take a step that it suggests (and seems clearly to be contradictory and impossible) there is no pole there… no place to step. But a step appears there all the sudden as soon as I commit my weight to the step.
Thank God I stumbled across this section of Attaining the Worlds Beyond again today. Last time I read it it seemed interesting but meaningless. Today it is such a relief to see it, and it explains so much:
“if we realize that these states of darkness are necessary for spiritual advancement, and are even desirable, and sent to us by the Creator Himself, then we will welcome them. We will recognize that the Creator has offered us the gift of perceiving shadows, or the incomplete darkness, so that we may seek the source of the Light.”
The “screen” is deliberately not seeing the Creator because you have the strength in that moment, from His prior revelation, to proceed under your own effort! That’s what the screen is!
So you reach once when you’re weak, for the Creator’s help. And then you reach again, the opposite way, to apply your effort specifically without help. And you move, with the screen held between you and the Creator so that you’re not blinded by the Light. It’s like a machine.
*Mind blown*
I really appreciated Gil Shir’s comment at the end of the video on the Tree of Life. He mentioned that the first step from Malchut is to Yesod, and Yesod’s essence is like glue. So perhaps our first step is to look for ways to connect with each other? Maybe that is love. Love of Friends is a great place to start – and finish, and keep in focus for every step we take together. Hold on to each other! It’s going to be an amazing transformation to the benefit of all.
