It’s not sensitive for me. But these things don’t talk about this world. Same as I just answered Zorica below. We’re confused with what’s on the screen, but behind it is 1s and zeros. That is, Light and Kli. So, a person is having an imagination that he’s in this world, and he has names for all the things he observes in this imagination. Kabbalah doesn’t talk at all about what’s going on in that imagination.
That’s why we recommend if reading the Zohar to only read it with the Sulam commentary because there, next to each word, is the translation into the language of Sefirot, Olamot, etc. Otherwise, a person can’t help but think it’s about this world.
That said, what I do with my physical body doesn’t harm or help me spiritually. I can replace it all, put a pig heart in place of my heart and still reach adhesion with the Creator.
All there is is desire. The ego is the desire that is aimed to receive. There’s nothing else. There can be anything on the screen but behind it, these are the 0s and 1s.
Hi David,
While I can’t resolve your quandary because that’s like 4 full lessons, I can answer your questions.
1 – Does God disdain our attempts to bestow upon Him?
No. It is said, “The Creator loves all the works, however they are.” Any attempts to resemble Him, He enjoys.
2 – Where does the reflected light go? Who receives it?
The Reflected Light – it’s said that it returns to the Source of the Light. This means that he doesn’t want to receive because he prefers Equivalence with the Creator. But precisely to the extent he can raise Reflected Light he can receive Inner Light. That’s as clear as we can make it for now. There are many more discernments about it in The Study of the Ten Sefirot.
Behind both questions is that you need to know that the Creator is indeed playing a game with us, by which we become like Him.
Ruach can be translated to wind, breath, spirit. It’s also the name of a particular Light, corresponding to the Sefira of Tifferet. When I have this Kli and it’s filling, it’s called “spirit of life.” Of course, it’s also used in the sense of uplifted spirits toward the spiritual goal, colloquially.
There a discernments in it if we attain it, but what we can understand is it’s the Upper Light, and in that, according to theKli we bring, there’s every goodness possible. As I can’t enjoy a symphony with snake senses or feel I’m in a reality at all if I lack the sense of touch, I need to develop the Kelim (vessels) that can perceive the Light.
