Hi. I have a few questions about this week’s content. In the related material, I learned about the language of roots and branches. According to this, and what is clarified in the book ” Kabbalah for Students”, as long as we are in the world of branches, we never attain the spiritual meaning of their roots. The roots are the means by which Kabbalists exchange and discuss spiritual concepts among themselves. There is no way to understand the hidden meaning no matter how hard you try. You’ll understand, apparently, only with help from above and the attainment process. So, why is it emphasized, many times, that reading the authentic Kabbalah books, which are only understood by us in their corporeal form, will help with attainment? Is it like magic (Kabbalah is not magic) or by dedicating your time and commitment to reading something you won’t understand until the creator considers me worthy and give me something out of pity or as a reward for my desire?
Second question is about the groups of ten. As we are hard wired to receive, every attempt made to get beyond the Masach, is based on the will to receive. The intention is originally receiving the “will to bestow” and being equivalent to the Creator in form. Every attempt we make in this journey is to become or “receive” the creator’s form. The intention is to receive in order to give. The fact that we will give doesn’t eliminate the very first intention that is “to receive” that quality. How does it work and how this paradox can be explained?
Honestly, the further I go, the more confused I become. I understand the figurative meaning of the nice words here and there. I understand that the entire reality, perceived as good or evil are the actions of the creator. So, theoretically, everything is good as everything is his action or thoughts/plans. But in everyday life, good is good and bad is bad. No matter how I interpret the pain on paper, pain always hurts.
I have mixed thoughts. Why did the creator create us in the first place, on this plane, not somewhere else? Why did he ever need this creation, and then send us down 125 steps just to crawl back up where we were?
Why the need or will to bestow so that a receiver is required? Why are the numbers and stages as they are? Why are Kabbalah books recommended when it is explicitly stressed that, as long as we are in the branches level, we will never understand the roots up there and their intended meanings?  He is all good, all giving, all loving, he is all – so far nothing different from religion. Said by those who attained. If I attain, I’ll s see; if not, I won’t, no matter how many times I read the book cover to cover.
Well. What I got from the previous course was that I cannot understand the root meaning of the branches in this dimension, no matter how many times I read the books and authentic resources. Unless I am being bestowed the capacity/ability to have a glimpse of the upper worlds and the roots there, I’ll get nowhere. I am a bit confused, but waiting hopefully as things may unfold in future lessons.
based on what I have learned so far is by the equivalence of form – becoming like the creator even 1%. This clip however says by getting in touch and interacting with the forces of the nature. Or seeing the world(s) and the creation with the thoughts resonating with the creator’s. what baffles me though is ‘how’?
As creatures, we are created to receive. Even if I wanted to become like the creator but updating the software to “to receive in order to give” I am still trying to receive. When I am created to be the receiver, how can I ever be resonating with be equivalent to the form of bestowal? I hope moving on I get answer and clearer perspective.
I really don’t know how to that for certain. But from what I have learned so far from the past 4 weeks, apparently there is only one path: “The equivalence of form”. How to do that? Not sure yet. I hope the future lessons and teachings shed light on it.
In an altered mental stated, I experienced, first-hand, an astonishingly beautiful thing governing everything. Once I tried to not get caught in that beauty and expanded my attention further, I Â (there was no I then though) saw and felt that how thoughts create reality and I am a co-creator of the reality. There was no one there. Just the ONE, and everything down here is what I am making. I wish I could enter that state on demand and reside there enough to embody in in day-to-day living. In every decision, and action. The experience was so beautiful. I wish for you all and I to live within that beauty consciously and on demand and live and act from within it. How to get there? Not sure yet, but as said so far that studying Kabbalah with the intention to connect to that Supreme Force paves the path to get there, I think we should take the advice and commit to it.
