When I correct myself, there will be no flaws in the environment since my friends are already at the end of correction. Once I accept this, I decide to behave as if they are corrected, and I want to be together with them, in whatever they are, however they are – as if it’s correct – above reason. I don’t try to correct them in any way, nor even check them. Maybe they need to appear that way, for now, for the way that I need to be. To expect any change in them means I had hoped to stay how I am, and that reality, the friends, will change instead of me – then I’m at odds with what’s possible in Creation.
For now:
(1) I immerse in the writings of Kabbalists every chance I get, with the expectation that the Reforming Light will work on me
(2) I try to more deeply sense “There is none else besides Him,” that there is no other force working in reality
(3) I scrutinize my relationship to the group
The quality of Malchut stays as it is. It was created as an absolute Will to Receive. But there are parts of Malchut that, through the Reforming Light, can agree to be under the control of Bina – essentially to be under the Masach [screen]. Because all the Sefirot are incorporated, there are parts of Malchut that nevertheless belong to higher qualities. For example, Keter of Malchut; Hochma of Malchut; Bina of Malchut. The parts whose only correction is their sorting and being left alone are the Lev HaEven [stony heart], Malchut de Malchut. They also don’t change but get left until the Gmar Tikun [final correction] when a special force – rav paalim makabtzil – does an operation upon them that corrects them. I can’t imagine it, but this is what Kabbalists write.
Hi Logynn,
If you take something from here and from there, of course you can find a contradiction. How can there be a proton but also an electron? We have to build something that consists of many opposing parts. We can say, though, that we always apply efforts. It doesn’t matter if they seem ‘egoistic’ as long as they’re in the direction of the spiritual goal, closer to connection, and so on. From not with an intention of for the Creator’ we come to the intention of for the Creator.
Here is a blog about this from Dr. Michael Laitman:
A question I received: The information you present to the world is fascinating. Everyone in my family is Orthodox Christian, and I’ve read the Bible and the New Testament since childhood. My question is: Where is Jesus Christ in your science? This worries me most of all, and is the only thing about your method that raises a concern.
My Answer: He’s absent, because I only base my teaching on the three main Kabbalists: Rashbi (The Book of Zohar), the Ari, and Baal HaSulam (view his available works in English). Just like any other science, Kabbalah bears no relation to any religion. It is the physics of forces that are perceived and examined through our sixth sense – the corrected desire.
In contrast, religion speaks about carrying out certain actions and rituals in our world, rather than correcting one’s egoism by means of the Upper Light. However, all religions want this action attributed to them.
This, we can never know, from our degree, but only by rising to the degree of the authors of the Zohar. Even if we translate a word, the next word we don’t know what degree it speaks of, and thus how to translate. The Zohar is not a study text, but one that we study only as a segula [remedy] that we study for the Reforming Light. How a remedy works, we don’t know; but apparently the doctor knows. That’s all I need to know.
