When we say Creator and God – is there the same force behind the words? God is often mentioned in sources from Baal HaSulam and Rabash in contexts where “God” is ment as being “the Creator”,
The purpose of the Passover process is to leave the Klipot behind, right? But I also remember reading that the shell is sustained by Kedusha because we need it (the klipa) What do we need it for? What happens if we leave the shell behind while we still need it, and what conditions must be met for us to finally leave the shell behind and no longer need it?
That sounds for me like receiving the light. Rejecting would be to simply not accept anything He gives, like He wouldnt have given it. At most to accept it/aknowledge it if I can enjoy the fact that He enjoys me receiving it, giving gratitude back. After all every moment of life is for His contentment, and one lives by checking every moment in which way expects He one to serve the ones around. Is this still the intention to receive?
What does it mean to reject the Light and how do we do that? And do we mean the Creator when we say “light”?
I dared to say ‘holy spirit’ because I red this term many times in articles of Baal HaSulam and Rabash, even psalms mention it. Is not directly TES language, in which you are the expert. Also because of ‘my sons have defeted me’ – it’s more digestable to consider the Creator created a son, not just… something. And there is still that part which confuses me to the bottom: He created a will to receive, but there is a spark of bestowal in it, so the wtr is not ‘pure’ reception. That spark is it what is like Him – what else can be His real creation, His son -in my terms – if not Israel, the will to bestow? Where comes that spark of will to bestow, of the soul, from? Please tell me also which part of the 4 phases of direct Light – or maybe smth else – should I focus on, so that I get clarity? What is it what I don’t understand? Also thank you
We’ve learned until now (taught by original sources and by dear instructor friends) that there are some difficult states in the process which are to overcome. For example there comes the state when one can admitt that everything is done by the Creator and experiences that he himself has no power and no freedom of choice whatsoever.
In that state there is no way other than to see the Creator as bad and false, like a tyrant who just runns everything destroying trumpling – and concealing -everything,. At that time one cannot see Him as the One Who is Good and Does Good. Then somehow this state might be linked with the thought “the Creator, the Torah and Israel are One”. This opposses the experience – where one sees friends who demand having control over one, like ignoring that one is anyway annuled, wanting to determine over one for their own satisfaction. That leads to losing the trust -faith – in the Creator, who seems to behave Himself like an animal. So then one cannot trust Him, the Creator , nor the friends, His Son – and there is only the Torah, like the only one holy, like the Holy Spirit. Then, probably through a miracle, one manages to just function holding tight on Torah.
Can this state be named as bestow in order to bestow and for Her sake?
