The roots are OK; I’m not OK. I’m fallen, several worlds down from the roots. The roots ensure that my correction will take place. Either I will rise to the world of roots, which by itself entails my correction, or I will go through phases of correction that, according to the roots, clothe into materials of this world. I’ll suffer greatly if I go through corrections this way. In fact every pinch we feel is from corrections we didn’t make. Rising to the roots requires rising above my egoistic qualities and clothing in upper qualities. Then, above my qualities, I agree with the Upper Force, and then my correction is pleasant.
I’m not going into your specific situation. Kabbalists say that what was created is only the Will to Receive, Malchut. Except that it was integrated with the quality of Bina. Then there was a shattering by which the quality of Bina was mixed in little bits into the quality of Malchut. From then on, the only bestowal that a person has is bestowal in order to receive. This is even further from the quality of the Creator than regular receiving. In other words, the quality of Bina, broken inside Malchut, is under Malchut’s control; and a complete inversion needs to occur, and this is only through the Reforming Light in the study of Kabbalah.
Hi Zorica,
The roots are in Keter, Phase Zero, or Shoresh (root). These are the roots of the Kelim (vessels).
What we see in our world are just branches, and we can’t work with them like you can’t work with a holagram based on some sequence of zeros and ones. It’s no use to work with the imaginary images; you need to work with the zeroes and ones: reception and bestowal.
The reason you’re confused is that you think you’re already somewhat implementing this in your life. To do what the Kabbalists speak of, even a bit, is to already open up the spiritual world. Therefore, there’s something missing. All our relations in this world, no matter how kind, are egoistic, and the difference between people is that we enjoy from different things. Some even have fun doing acts of charity or dedicating their entire lives to it. That’s great, but it isn’t spiritual and that’s why such people remain in this world until their dying day. And each must return to this world to learn the difference between me – meaning how the Creator made me, which is in 100% reception without a shred of bestowal; and the Creator’s nature, 100% bestowal without a shred of reception. If you continue to study the Reforming Light will work, and like a flashlight, shine upon the desire and clarify the confusion.
Hi Clara,
(1) The Partzuf is divided in 3, and in the middle part, the Toc, it receives in order to bestow – so, yes it’s reception is bestowal. But it has another part, the Rosh, which only measures whether it will be able to do so – that is receive the pleasure in order to bestow. And there is a third part, the Sof, in which it cannot receive the pleasures to bestow, so that remains empty. Every spiritual degree has these 3 parts.
The wisdom itself is a science, meaning there is a system of laws that we’re under and other systems, systems of bestowal, that we enter. As we do so, and even as we get close to them, we start to feel them. We perceive everything in feeling, but the systems are lawful, as in our world that can be described solely according to mechanics, on the still, vegetative and animate levels. Even on our level, absolutely everything could be described mechanically, lawfully. It’s the upper will that we’ll feel as if we’re separate beings, independent of this system, but it is not really so. Long story short, the wisdom is indeed a hard science – even harder than physics – but how we feel it is in our emotions, like we feel our lives emotionally in sensations, feelings. Kabbalists don’t describe spirituality emotionally, as rule. Because you cannot convey emotions. We can talk about excitement or love in our world because each person can imagine them – of course we don’t understand each other and each pictures them differently. But when it comes to spiritual emotions, only true Kabbalists have felt them, the Upper World, and therefore there’s nothing to talk about other than to provide the science that brings the person himself to become a Kabbalist. All that’s written is things to make that come to pass, and no wisdom, no knowledge, nothing else besides this.
