There aren’t really mantras in Kabbalah. As I said, something I just repeat can have a psychological effect, and that’s it. A prayer really needs to be one that is close to the heart, something I really feel that I’m missing and only the Creator can grant. Also, the blessings you should bless should be real for you, and not what is written somewhere. The Eighteen Prayer – half of it refers to Direct Light and half Reflected Light – it’s not realistic for us yet.
You consist of various, unscrutinized qualities, which for now are all mixed up like in a soup. From the study of Kabbalah, this parts of this soup get divided out, and then you can work with them in a clear way. For now though, you try to determine your spiritual future by taking what you can from the egoistic direction, and placing it on the side of the spiritual direction. You’ll be able to do so to the extent you manage your environment, to make it more spiritual. Besides this management, everything else is predetermined.
We won’t be able to line these up in a diagram. In fact, we won’t be able to discern what those 613 desires are. These things you have to go through to understand.
Guilt is the ascription of the action to me instead of the Creator. It’s ok to decide that I would like to think and act in a certain way in the future, but as for the past, I must say that all that wasn’t me, the Creator operated everything. Otherwise – yes – it’s a trap by which it turns out that, in practice, I dwell in the lie of the concealment of the Creator, without even, at least, knowing that I’m under concealment.
It applies to the whole world. But where can it be realized? First, in the ten, then between tens, and so on.
There is a benefit to thinking about these things. Most don’t want to think and that’s where the benefit is.
The intention – let’s set aside that there is something not from this world that is born in relation to this – is simply what do I want from this action. And there is a deficiency from within me and a deficiency that is from without.
