Hi Kima,
First, the Creator hides Himself so we’ll have to do this because then our efforts will not be because the Creator already showed us how attractive He is. Everyone in the world would be dropping everything and running toward only Him. But what is the Creator? He is the quality of Bestowal. I hope you’re not disappointed 😉 He is the force of Bestowal that encompasses, holds together, and operates the whole of reality. In the ten, we need to demonstrate the importance of Bestowing so that it will become important, since for now, the Creator made it unimportant, diametrically opposite our nature. Then we’ll be able to reach it. We have to learn how to do this.
1) is not clear because we don’t have terms like mundane/vivified in Kabbalah. Meaning they’re English words that I don’t know how to render in scientific language. So, you’d need to clarify what you mean (and it’s good you asked me now, but when you figure it out you should ask Rav…you’re welcome to ask here too, of course.)
2) If you’re talking about the corporeal mind and intellect, that is what I need to rise above and in that sense it is the opposite side of the coin where the other side is Faith Above Reason/intellect/the mind.
There’s ten Sefirot of Rosh, ten Sefirot of Toc, and ten Sefirot of Sof. That has to be for it to be a Parzuf as much as a baby must have all of its organs to live. The desire has to be divided into three to be spiritual at all. That is, a part in which there is a calculation in order to bestow about every pleasure (Rosh), a part where the Light is received (Toc), and a part that for now is still in Restriction (Sof).
Hi Carlos, you’re combining together the process from and the process by which we rise from our world. Tzimzum Aleph applies to the process from above down after which all the worlds cascade. From our world we need to study and work with the wisdom of Kabbalah to eventually make the Restriction. Later there’s also something called a Masach (screen), which is an addition to the Restriction we make on all egoistic pleasures.
Actually if they really really can reject the Light – and this is something we’ve never done and can’t do yet – it is actually received as Ohr Pnimi (Inner Light).
