Hi Michael,
You’re right that if we number the 5 worlds then AK is Keter, Atzilut is Hochma, Beria is Bina, Yetzira is ZA, and Assiya is Malchut. Stay with that, and later we’ll learn why there’s something else when all the worlds get shattered, and then we have to reconstruct them, and then the values change accordingly.
No, the Creator agrees that you will see Him as bad in your regular senses. You mean I don’t agree to this stage of the correction process? During which the Creator’s actions will appear as more and more evil? They tell us in advance that merciful women will eat their babies. And that’ll be considered normal Before that happens, we can develop the additional senses needed to perceive the whole and complete reality. It’s like I’m at the best restaurant in the world, but I have taste buds for only salt and hot peppers. I taste something horrific there. Those are part of the whole, and they go wonderfully with the whole, but in isolation…
I want to “fix” what’s outside me. Over in India or somewhere. I’m told that that is not over in India; it’s inside me. But for now, to be merciful, I’m let to see it as if it’s way over there in India. You want the consequences of the lack of correction that is in you to be exacted immediately – then all the atrocities in the world will happen to you. For now, I get to see them as if they are far away. Will I respond and correct myself or will I wait until it’s not in India but in my own country? And then in my city. And then on my street. At my door.
Wise is the person who can read the Creator’s language and react appropriately. This is His kindness to us, to provide this room for free choice. But He will not give up on the changes He’s expecting us to do on the inside. If we don’t decisively wake up, He gives increasingly loud warning bells.
Hi Isoke,
1. It is enough that we’re all aimed at “together”. I want my friends to all be in this sensation of doing it together. There’s such an ego that doesn’t mind spiritual work, let’s say – but together? Up until there, and not further. Inside the work together is where the actual work begins. It’s hard to wrap this concept in words due to the fact that it is simplistic. And the ego is simplistically against such work. Like it’s written, “the Creator likes all the works, however they are,” whatever we do in the direction of togetherness will be right. To not be “caught alone” is the most important principle – that is, in thoughts that are not together with the ten. Don’t think about the bodies (more than you need to to locate the friends, the concept of the ten, internally).
2. Attending every lesson and ten call and being internally active during these external actions it is certain that I will reach spirituality. The main thing is that while I am doing the same action every day, the Creator is moving the rug under me, so that I feel increasingly distant from the goal, and yet I hold on with my teeth to the same actions, to stay in the prayers for the friends though there is less and less taste in doing so, like the night gets darker and darker and is darkest just before dawn.
Certainty is attainment. We don’t have that yet.
Faith, if you mean belief, is not required. Diligence in engaging in the path all the time, is required.
Generally, to do it though, you do need to be connected to a ten. Otherwise, you just aren’t connected to the vessels in you by which you would be able to remain in these thoughts and actions.
A person has a stage during which he only studies, and tries to grasp as much as he can, to fit the concepts into his corporeal brain; however, it doesn’t work out because these concepts don’t fit into our angular brains because they are integral. It’s like a snake trying to make sense of a beautiful symphony. Not only is he missing sensory receptors to make sense of it, the senses he has are suitable for perceiving the erratic and artificial temperatures in Carnegie Hall and the various vibrations not as harmonious but as a hellish cacophony, like being thrust into the eye of some dark, alien gas planet. That’s how we’re perceiving our world, which is actually the Upper World, already in the end of correction, organized, harmonious, lawful, and beautiful. The advice is to start doing what the kabbalists advise. From doing, we will understand more and more because the feel of the true reality will start to reveal as the senses to feel it start developing. If I’m too, too confused it means I haven’t started. I’m rather circling the wisdom like a cat investigating a potential meal.
