Born out of the image of the Creator. Him being the will to bestow, existence from existence, and the created being as the will to receive – the opposite – existence from absence.

That’s not exactly how Kabbalists describe it. It’d be more accurate to say the “descent” is the introduction of the perception of separated parts instead of one whole. The greater the descent, the greater separation until completely “in order to receive”.

Kabbalah doesn’t relate to a person’s qualities. This is given to a person from nature and it’s not what is broken or what needs correction. The only thing a person needs to correct is how they relate to others and through them to the Creator. The revelation of these “obstacles” that prevent a person from relating to others correctly, should bring joy since now they have a reason to turn to Him for correction.

Thanks!

Suffering equals lack of the revelation of the Creator.

This is interesting to reflect on because as kids we’re only looking to play, it’s how we grow. As adults, we kind of look at that as a lower form of development but in truth, it’s how we should continue to develop. Taking everything so serious adds to our false perception of control. Less egoistic is also partially true.

Hey David,

No problem “reading ahead” just don’t try to get into it like a scientist. Just let it kind of “pass through” if you know what I mean. No reason to try and grasp anything intellectually.

Thanks!

Chris
