I was completely lost at the beginning with the same drawings of the stages and the kli. I was trying to rationalize, at the beginning, as I was being taught a mathematical method. I believe that what was happening to me was that I am a scientist and I was trying to equate the 125 steps down and 125 steps upward. As I have continued learning, the understanding of the Creator, the Ten Seferot, the correction of ourselves, and so much more. I want to thank all the Kabu instructors. Another thing that I have learned, and a very important point, is PATIENCE. Patience will lead me to continue understanding Kabbalah and understand that the Kabbalah is not a mathematical equation in the Spiritual World.
I can understand the receiving part from the Light. I have glimpses of bestowal or parts of bestowal. I like helping. That has been my profession as a psychologist and mother. However, helping does not incorporate Bestowal. Does it? How can I learn the difference between helping and true Bestowal?
So, according to the rule, “love your friend as yourself.” On condition that you evidently are trying to do this, the Reforming Light will work on you, and gradually bring you to the true perception. In reference to “love your friend as yourself,” I came across with one of Dr. Laitman’s quote: “You can correct anything with love. Therefore, in reference to working one’s way back towards aligning with The Creator, it makes sense to love your friend as yourself. Although I must admit that it is not easy especially when the “bad” person has assaulted and psychologically verbally abused one. Therefore, one can love thy friend as yourself, mentally. Will that be enough to fulfill the love your friend as yourself? I find it easier to believe and understand “you can correct anything with love. Can I feel love towards that person who continues to “hate” me?
Hello. My name is Elisheva. What brings me here is Reality, to live it, to understand it; to go beyond the five senses into the sixth outer world and be able to understand fully how to be aligned with the Creator.
After reading Ba’al Hasulam’s article, which is something we have been taught from the beginning of the courses, I was able to clearly understand descent and ascent that one’s vessel needs to go through. Of course, I would not have been able to understand any of it if I would not have been to take these courses and learn from our Kabbalah instructors. Hence, is one truly able to “delete” Egoism in its entirety? This might be one of those “duh” questions, but I am understanding that even to criticize another person’s clothing, hairstyle, way of walking, etc., is something that seems to have become innately; although without an ill feeling and absolutely without verbalizing it to that person. I hope I am making sense.
My deeper understanding is that “to be quiet before I say anything.” This means that for any insult or harmful comment directed at me, I have learned to assess who is making the hurtful comment in terms of what my response will be. Therefore, I understand that no response is necessary. In a very small way, my response in terms of bestowing (and this is a very small example), will be to sincerely smile back, sincerely from my heart and soul. There is not any sense in getting offended. However, maintaining the peace and extending that feeling of peace to others is more important than to “fight” back.
