Hi, Gianni

The Torah says, and he shall be buried on the same day, and also from the dust you came, and the dust you shall return, judaism has its tradition,  but what does this mean  in kabbalah?

Even Pshat of pardes has nothing to do with the physical world ? And why did the one who went into the cave/pardes  with rabbi avkiva, i think it was Acher (Elisha ben Abuyah) become a heretic for thinking he did not need the pshat torah? Whats that mean?

In BHS 174 Concealment

He writes

However, concealment in itself is not considered concealment. Concealment is measured by the demand. The greater the demand for something, the more the concealment is evident. And now we can understand the meaning of “The whole earth is full of His glory.” Although we believe it, the concealment still fills the whole earth.

****

What does the greater the demand for something, the more the concealment is evident, mean?

Yes, so I once asked, one of the instructors, re: “ could it be that the Kabbalists from the past ate pork?” (I never believed that they condoned it) he said re: he cannot say for sure if they did or not, but he did tell me that when one attains the root of the mitzvah, one >naturally< wants to keep the branch. Granted, that may be a high spiritual state.

 

So, since the law of DO NOT LAY WITH ANOTHER MAN” is not talking biologically…let me take a guess,  it means something like…do not fuse/mix the force of Bestowal with Giving to yourself”?  Male forces ect. Let’s say i do NOT DO that, so im following the right path spiritually…You are saying that the root can still manifest into this world (branch) opposite of its spiritual meaning, and not contradict the root simply because it is not talking about our bodies?  Someone can be following the spiritual meaning of it (not mixing bestowal with self) and still be a homosexual ? Whats the point of it cascading ? And it has absolutely nothing to do with the root then…?

We say that the jews in israel now are the real jews biologically from the bible but they are  FAR from the Creator, how does this compare? Is it BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT FOLLOWING THE ROOT??

[Brad]

I still don’t get it…  society says homosexuality is permissible, but the Torah says it’s not permissible.  Make it make sense. 🙏🏻🤲🏻

1: Are you saying that Adultery, homosexuality, Pedophilia are the Laws of this world’s society (which are the Creators)?

2: So, can he inadvertently block others from trying to go up the stairs to the second floor? WWGD (What Would Gianni Do?)
