Hi Henry,
The body is the desire, whereas the mouth without the desire connected to it is of no use. In other words, you need to do actions towards the friends in the group, and it doesn’t matter too much which actions, but actions that are aimed at connection of the broken Kli (vessel). If I’m doing something to cause this connection, aiming that the Upper Light will work on this action, then it doesn’t matter if the action is artificial. Meaning I know that my actions are not really with an intention to bestow, but I would like, by them, to activate the Light so that it will make my intention in order to bestow. There are no specific actions in our imaginary world that are important in and of themselves unless they directly bring another closer to the study, the spiritual goal.
TRANSLATION:
This practical course is really special. We allow ourselves to get involved in the functioning of the group and extend its simple parenting mechanism. With respect to the converter, Dr. Laitman explains that this transformation into a spiritual force is realized “… through simple corporeal actions….”. Without embarrassment, there are no clear cues that can be corporeal actions against the group that acts on our soul. You can amplify this idea. Thank you.
Hi Henry,
At this point, Dr. Laitman’s words have been translated a few times, so maybe you can just ask the question you have. It isn’t clear to me.
Ah, yes. So this is his question. I don’t answer such questions, but since it’s not from you, I’ll answer. The whole approach is incorrect. Can a person learn with such an attitude, that you’re coming to tell the teacher what’s what? Where is such an approach accepted? If I go to study physics from a great doctor of physics, will he entertain such an approach? Or, I go to study acting from some great acting teacher, or music teacher. That’s not how you learn. And Kabbalists’ attitude towards such people is very simple: go and see what’s out there, perhaps there’s another place for you. That has been Kabbalists approach not just in our times, but throughout history. Because already the fact that one has such an approach indicates that he lacks even the foundation to begin learning, and there’s no hope for him to advance. He’s already filled up with his own attitude so there’s no room for something else. So, there’s nothing to do with the person except show him the door out. This attitude will change, but not because he will get an answer from me and the answer will be what he wants. Rather, the Upper Force will work on a us, show us that we get nowhere with our egoistic opinions, and when we get humbled by many life blows, we’ll come on our knees and accept a method as-is. That’s the precondition – that you’re willing to accept a method as-is. It could be a different method from some other teacher. But you must go to that teacher and accept his method as-is. Because who are you that you know what the method should be? It’s like little kids telling mommy and daddy how to parent. If I don’t already have attainment of the Upper Worlds, then I have nothing to say about how to get there and how the teacher is teaching.
I never answer a question that is not really a question but an accusation, because even if I have what to respond with, the lesson of learning how to approach a study is much more important. That approach is an uneducated one, that of someone who never learned how to study.
Of course there were many Kabbalists we don’t know about. Of course one who is not a Kabbalists himself has no way of knowing who – and it also doesn’t matter who. One doesn’t know what crossing the Machsom is, what spirituality is, nor what a Kabbalist is. The only question is are you ready to become a Kabbalist, embrace a method of becoming one, and follow the advice of a teacher exactly. That’s one’s only hope of attaining spirituality.
We’re facing a single interconnected system in which everything is recorded. Punishment is felt when I’m not adapted to that system, which is all bestowal – I’m still operating according to what my ego dictates. By doing so I am lining up all kinds of boots in the air that will kick me. But if I start going according to Kabbalists advice then I’m running ahead of those boots. Because they are coming to correct me. If I’m already running towards correction, I don’t need to be kicked. This system is demanding correction from each person, to the extent of their development.
I’d recommend not to mix work and Kabbalah and that will actually be the most spiritual. Otherwise you’ll get confused and that won’t be spiritual. At work, do a great job however you know how. Be the perfect professional. Don’t try to advance with Kabbalah there. Don’t use its principles. Use the principles you learned in school. It’s very important. And do Kabbalah here, in the Kabbalah group. By adding more than what I’m recommending will not add but subtract. This way your work will be clear, organized and beneficial. It is very serious work advancing to the spiritual world and you need to do it in a “professional” way.
