Hi John,
The creature is outside the Creator’s will because there is a space for free choice. Every concept in Kabbalah contains a thing and its opposite. That’s because there are 3 lines. One is the right. One is the left. And then the middle line is where we discover the Creator’s quality in between them. So, it’s not that you’ve located the contradiction in the Kabbalistic teachings, but rather you have yet to locate the contradiction in each and every Kabbalistic teaching. This is how reality is built: from a thing and its opposite. With the reality before us we understand that it’s built that way: an atom has plus and minus inside, etc. And we know that out of these opposite. But the spiritual world is not ready-made. We build it, out of the opposites. Thus, you’re already asking about the part where only the student has to sort it out, and sort it out – in the end – only be reaching a new quality, like the atom born out of opposites. The result: one finds out that, yes, both are true together, in a way we could not imagine in our previous qualities.
I need to annul before the Creator’s will, but “saying” won’t help. That’s just with my mouth, which is a grain of sand compared to the sandy beach that is the whole of my desire that needs to be annulled. I need to truly desire it.
Yes, and it won’t prevent you from advancing if you do the best you can with the circumstances you are given.
We can only say something happened, according to our vessels. So, we need to be realistic. We’re fine for now. But there is a state coming up where we won’t be fine. As the prophets (who were Kabbalists) write. So, we need to go forward toward the spiritual goal more quickly. Otherwise, it will reach us in a not good way. Each one of us.
Everything is from the Creator. The only problem is to not be selective in this attribution but to include absolutely everything. Every thought, every desire, animal, planet, person. It’s all one mechanism working towards a good, beautiful goal.
So, don’t try to connect your experience. After all, there are degrees, and one degree is not at all like another. I shouldn’t try to carry something from before, with me into the future. Whatever was before is dwarfed by what is to come. To look back is to stall, like Lot’s wife who looks back and becomes a pillar of salt. The future is always, always better than the past – if we’re talking about spiritual states.
What’s written here are the states one certainly discovers in the future spiritual states – that is, the state destined for each and every one.
