Hi Zeinab,
The entire wisdom is about how to change one’s intention. The entire Creation is about building this intention over the Light of the Creator.
As for Hanna – first we need to understand that any holy text speaks about forces and not people. We need to pray in a way that is realistic for our state. It needs to be a request related to our unity in the ten. If I ask for something that is not really related to the state we’re in, then it’s as if I’m trying to skip over the projection that the Creator is providing for me, precisely to pray about it. Look at the state of the ten now, and then turn to the Creator with that.
Beria, which is’Bina’ of the worlds, is below Atzilut. We can reach Atzilut, especially the lower part of it, which is also the place of Bina there. We can’t ascend above Bina, which is our root. Although, when everyone comes to correction, together there are additional stages we can attain.
You’re right that we ascend the degrees by the lower half of the Upper hanging down into the upper part of the lower one. Then, the lower one can strive to reach Equivalence of Form with the lower part of the Upper degree.
Hi Manuela,
It’s fine to get confused. Things will get clear, then unclear, repeatedly.
I don’t know where you’re talking about but ZAT de Bina and Zeir Anpin are not equivalent. If you mean where Zeir Anpin clothes on the lower part of Bina, you’re right that they reach some form of equivalence of form, of intention…while retaining their unique character. Likewise, in the end, the Creator and Creature remain distinct – but similar. In the Creature, reception and bestowal will exist in a single carrier: reception in order to bestow.
Well, we’re pretty confused about what it is that attracts us to someone, even in our world. We have to scrutinize it. And we also have to scrutinize our attraction to the friend so that we’ll decide that it’s their desire for spirituality that is important.
