How can Keter (GE) from the lower one actually receive at all if it is pure bestowal?
It can bestow in order to bestow, be a passageway for the Light, assuming it can be completely above it. You’re allowed to enter the treasury, but do not touch, do not even look.
What process has the GE or Keter to be gone through so that it can receive?
Keter is pure bestowal, doesn’t receive.
Does Keter contain Malchut?
Of course, all Sefirot are incorporated of all the others. But it’s Malchut of Keter. And that’s not the Malchut we’re talking about. So, no, Keter does not ‘contain Malchut’ in that sense.
And which is the “giving” of Malchut of AHP? The desire/intention for connection? This would mean that the Malchut is corrected in this case, but AHP means per se that it is uncorrected – or not? Is such desire/intention an act of bestowal?
Basically, bestowal to bestow means Equivalence of Form. I want to be connected, even as an embryo in the Upper One. Let’s say in all kinds of actions in the ten, for now, it’s in this direction.
And if Keter/ GE would feel shame – then it won’t be a true Keter/GE, right? That means that “in order to bestow” is stable there, incorporated?
Keter can’t feel shame because it’s only in bestowal. It lacks the material in which to feel shame, i.e. the Aviut of Malchut.
And when we say “I don’t receive anything more” – what is ment by this? Because then we wouldn’t attend any lesson or meetings with friends, because we would receive. To connect means – also – to receive, is an aspect of connecting. I hear smth and can’t make it unheard, I received it.
No, we’re allowed to receive all our necessities, the tiny pleasures of this world that don’t interfere with spirituality. The joy of connection, the joy of the study of Kabbalah, we have to receive. It’s not even called “reception”. Against those states, a person is given alternative states, in which I see that that reception was only to later be able to pay for it with my efforts. If I can fill my life with the joys of similarity with the Creator, through the ten, I’m in a very good state. The Will to Receive does not agree to live in this all the time, which is why one will surely have to receive help from the friends.
The group will be your equalization tool. When you’re connected to them you will have the correct balance with everything else. If I am not connected to them, the forces of nature can do absolutely anything with me, and there will be no strategy that can counter them.
Hi Isle,
I can internally try to relate to all situations as if they come from a single Upper Force. In addition, I can try to agree that this force is good. However, externally, I have to behave like what’s normal and expected in society, as though I have no relation to Kabbalah. This is actually the most basic spiritual approach that underlies anything more advanced. So, that, one can do toward everyone. But if I want to take further strides toward the Creator, I’ll need a Kabbalistic group, and on deeper layers of my desire that get revealed along the way, I’ll see that even the above I won’t be able to maintain without a special focus-group.
I measure. I feel I am in the lowest state, far, far from spirituality. It could be that I can’t imagine it’s worth even turning to the Creator from such lowliness and hopelessness. From exactly this state, there’s the most benefit in turning to Him.
You should maintain the necessary connections though: family, work, etc. Especially in the beginning, the Kabbalistic group serves a very targeted purpose, so it will not be able to serve any of those corporeal needs. Think of it sort of like the role going to a karate class every day might play in your life, though here the purpose is much higher: due to its specificity, it can’t replace everything.
