Understanding the intent behind the thought received. If the intent of the thought is in line with the Creator’s desires, then I receive it. Otherwise, I don’t accept it. After receiving the thought from the Creator, I act upon it to fulfill His desires, which I have now received as my own, thereby, becoming mutually connected.
Under Phase 4 (Interact definition) Malchut, it states at the end…..
“As a result, Machut does a complete Tzimzum (Restriction) on the Upper Light, and restriction upon restriction occurs over the spiritual worlds until all we feel is our world.”
What does it truly mean to restrict the Upper Light along with a continuation of restrictions? It sounds like I’m not allowing the Upper Light in, so, I believe my understanding of Tzimzum requires clarification. I’m not understanding what that looks like.
I wish for my fellow students to study not just for knowledge of KB but because you love the Creator with all your heart, mind, and soul. Loving the Creator with everything that is within you makes Tikkun a joyful process.
I’ve always have had a spiritual connection from a child with the Creator from the time I gave my life to the Him. I was raised up in a family of servants to the Creator in ministry. I too followed that path. My husband was a pastor as well. But it wasn’t until he passed that I began to wonder what life was truly all about. Not having his life to share any longer left me not only feeling so alone but I didn’t know what to do with my life. I didn’t know how to move forward but I knew I must in spite of the way I was feeling or I would be totally lost. Because I wouldn’t give up on my quest to know what was next to come, I knew it was a path that I was not to decide from an egotistic mindset. From the loss of my husband, I have come to know that there is still something I have to fulfill. I found in KB that understanding the Creators purpose is my purpose. I understand that the Creator continues to guide me to Him within the experiences of life. Although I have tried to live a life of obedience, I still felt an emptiness. I now understand that it has all been due to not knowing the true purpose of life. The forces in the world have concealed so much but I’m glad the Creator has given us, through the Sages, what we need to return to Him with a life that has been corrected.
I’ve been taught that the New Testament is a very advanced section of the Bible. Although Judaism teaches Torah only, which is an amazing teaching in and of itself, I sense within Lesson 2 that the New Testament also teaches us how to become more like our Creator. Taking all the teachings as a whole, appears to be the essence of a transformation from the qualities of the Will to Receive to greater and greater qualities of the Will to Bestow. Isn’t this the essence of how we transform our heart and mind? Hebrews 12
