Hi Orlando,
Well, we can’t say that the phenomena we felt during the retreat was as in the Phase 1 of Four Phases, which we described here. You felt there a bit closer to the others, as the Light united you, and in that connection you started feeling somewhere far in the distance the corrected Kli. But the Kli that is already after the Shattering of the Kelim.
Yes but one needs to learn quite a bit and the Light also needs to work on him so that he will understand Who is the Creator, where is He found, how do I aim my thought and desire towards Him… I have to learn to take what He is showing me through this reality, and also aim back to Him, through this reality.
A person has to go with a path and a teacher that they feel is the truth, and hopefully it’s the right one. It doesn’t mean it leads to the revelation of the Creator during this lifetime, as not everyone has a true desire for that, but most have desires that are sort of on the way to that. He will have no confirmation that he is on the right path until he has already fully devoted himself to that path without any reservations, and without any “proof”. And that “any reservations” is checked thoroughly, not by the teacher but by the Upper Force that is within the person, measuring his heart with infallible accuracy. Because to have both found the correct path that ;eads to the Creator and to stick to it like a dog holding a bone, are both measures of his desire, and the Creator is revealed only to one who has a true and complete desire.
A Partzuf is a system made of Ten Sefirot, or 3 parts which each have Ten Sefirot in them – Ten Sefirot that belong to the Rosh (head), which decides everything for the Partzuf; Ten Sefirot in the Guf (body), which is where the pleasure is received; and Ten Sefirot of the Sof, which has to remain empty because those desires there are under Restriction, because they cannot be used in order to bestow.
There are a few reasons I give the above advise. The most important is for the person who is here to develop himself. If he really does that, it will develop those around him more than all the words. They will feel his spiritual advancement, even though they won’t have words for it. Whereas if he disseminates this wisdom to those not in his near environment, for example by sharing a link of ours out on the web, if people don’t want it, they have no personal qualms with him; but if he accidentally awakens resistance in those in his inner circles, now he has stoked certain underground resistances in the environment he dwells in. For now we don’t feel how these different currents influence us. That’s why each can do what he wishes, but I recommend only to disseminate in a hands-off way, in the vein of “here’s a book you might like” (one of our beginner books). If you get a good review after a few days, you’ll have your answer, and if they don’t say anything or say something negative, you’ll also have your answer, but this way it doesn’t cause the person to think you’re on some strange tangent.
Hi Orlando,
It depends at what stage in your studies you are. Right now it’s sufficient to do what is offered here. In the graduate program you will have up to 3-4 lessons per week you have the option to join. In Israel they study from 3am to 5:30am because that’s a time when a person can be free of all corporeal obligations. And many friends go to bed early to be able to do that. But if you watch that lesson at whatever time it is in your time zone, that is fine. Also, spirituality doesn’t take a lot of time, it takes internal intention. With the correct inner work you can do in a second more than one typically does in a lifetime. The quality and not so much the quantity is what counts.
