The ten is exactly the “medium” that I have instead of the Creator to bestow upon. Once I’m as one with them, we’re as a cell that has to work toward other tens in the same way. That’s several steps ahead though.
Simple faith is simply believing because the sages said so. Faith above reason is bestowal above reception. It’s the requirement to reach “love your friend as yourself” because my desire and his desire have to switch places in terms of their priority of fulfilment.
On a simple level:
– There are no more or less important friends; all a great because they have a Point in the Heart
– We don’t argue; we only add on to each other
– We don’t value wisdom, or smart answers; only words that further connect us
– We’re always at odds, we’re all different. And we don’t expect a solution from arguing, but only from connection above the differences – meaning the differences/conflicts must remain, below.
There are many further details as behind these you have all the laws by which one reaches the Creator.
Yes. So it’s impossible to say what such an opposite perception feels like. Kabbalists just want us to know that we’re in an imaginary perception so we’ll think about how to go beyond it.
It is written, “against his will he’s born, against his will he dies”. This means that against my will – above reason – I reach spiritual life; and (if I’m spiritually oriented) against my will, I die – meaning engage in corporeality. But I must do it nevertheless. This is how I know I’m working correctly on both fronts.
True but none of our actions are spiritual yet; only psychological. I’m all psychology so that’s how you have to influence my desire. When my heart moves a bit toward connection, the Light works. And such places impress me. Also, as a trip when you’re already in Israel, it’s good. We can do a little Kabbalistic sightseeing as an activity with friends. It’s good to have such experiences together. By myself, I honestly wouldn’t go.
