She can’t become the Creator. The end is Creator and Creature as partners. Meaning He is the one whose deepest wish is to give. Her deepest desire is to receive. But she doesn’t want to be lower than He. The whole plan of creation entails by what means could she receive all goodness, including the ultimate good which is the same status as the Creator.
Hi Ricki,
The environment is the authentic materials provided by Kabbalists and those who have been impressed by it. And then there’s what I do in response to them. Except for that, there’s room for strengthening that, and strengthening that environment is the most effective thing I could do.
The four phases talk about how the Upper Light builds the desire. We’re not yet talking about where we are in the picture since we are not in the picture yet. Later in the course we discuss our place in it.
Kesef (money) symbolizes the spiritual screen, with which one can reveal the spiritual world to the extent of that screen.
Spiritual attainment – which is what we’re talking about if there is Restriction, Screen, and Returning Light – is always in the Middle Line.
You mean not the desire to receive. That’s only the created being’s quality. You mean the will to bestow? That’s the Creator’s quality. In Hebrew, bestowal is also translated as “influence”. I add this to make the concept even more alien than “bestowal” is. It’s truly something we can’t imagine but it might include in it, being something far more expansive, something like one might imagine love for everyone and everything. That too we can’t imagine because our imagination is based on our quality of reception.
