ParticipantFor me, this course will help me to understand the language of kabbalah, which in turn will help me better understand the whole concept of kabbalah and to correctly apply them in my daily life in order to become closer and closer to equivalence of form.
July 6, 2025 at 2:18 am EDT in reply to: A question for you before we get started: Why do you think it was decided that all people would be born lacking the tool of spiritual perception? #444456Charles
ParticipantBecause if we have the full perception, we would surely choose the Upper Light above everything else in creation. And since the perception is limited, we are bound to progress and learn how to once again be one, step by step, by taking in the suffering (to repel the force of baser desires) and to focus more on the upper light (the purpose of creation) by our own choice, erasing all shame when we receive the perception of the Upper light.

ParticipantHi Gianni, a basic question I am thinking now, can we say that once the kli is “thought of” by the Creator, it is already an ego? Because it seems that the kli/desire to be like the Creator signifies that it is already separated. Then it tries to empty itself in the light of Ohr Hassidim (Bina), which I feel like the kli’s feeling is also the a type of light that is just a different perspective from the same light in Keter. Then it realizes that the light in Keter do not feel fulfilled by being deflected completely, thus it receives some of it (ZA) but still maintaining the deflection of the light like in Bina because it still believes in the light of Ohr Hassidim. Then finally the kli realizes that to fulfil the purpose of the light, it must play the part why it was created, which is to receive the light completely, and by doing so it gives pleasure to the Creator, Creation as a whole.
I don’t actually know what I wanted to ask, but I am trying to get the whole picture hoping to understand why this analogy and how this analogy should be understood properly. Your input is highly appreciated.

ParticipantI hope I can understand the language of roots and branches, because I still cannot follow the explanation of sefirots, tree of life, and then became lost in translation. I hope to be able to grasp the explanation and to be able to exercise its meaning.

ParticipantHi,
I am quite new in this graduate environment, and this question might be ahead of my current progress. I have the e-books suggested in the basic courses, but only up to the third book which is Kabbalah for Students (have finished Kabbalah Revealed and Attaining the Worlds Beyond). I am wondering which specific book that explains about the Sefirots, partzufims and the 125 degrees that would serve as a guidance?
Thank you.

ParticipantIt evoked in me the feeling of want of the understanding of the goal of life, and focusing on the prayer to understand and to be able to bestow, I feel reminded that I need to let go of what I have, of what I am. Am I ready to let go of it all to be able to bestow? That was the question that popped.
