Hi Joseph,
Well, there’s no question that what you’re imagining about a ten, especially as you have only your previous experiences to go off of, couldn’t be accurate. Everyone is picturing it wrong. Some because they want a social environment like something they’ve experienced, and some because they don’t want to repeat their experiences. But there is no experience like being in a ten because there is no relationship in our world that is aimed at connection in order to reveal the Upper Force that is revealed only in correct connection between me and the other parts of reality. None else have this goal and the goal shifts everything. Have this goal, you’ll find all breaks down, because the correction is precisely in the intention. Ethereal and ephemeral as it may seem, it, the intention, is the most powerful force in the universe. And against it is the barrier to the spiritual world. Therefore you have no experience and neither does anyone else in this field because only from one who has crossed that barrier can such a precisely aimed society be created where we would need the help of the Upper Force against precisely that barrier which that Upper Force throws up to ensure that we would never ever be able to cross it without its help. Think about this a while and see how there’s nothing to fear.
For the time being, they’re all beginners, below the first true spiritual degree. Also, they don’t need to be on one level. Each needs to work, however, towards the others as if they are all higher than he is. That is enough for each one to advance from where they are to their next development.
Spiritual attainment includes everything and everything. However, there’s no point in discussing that because with an x-ray that sees much deeper into the person than he even knows himself, a person is measured in their intentions, and the intention needs to be to attain the Creator’s qualities. Of course, this won’t be one’s sole goal because we’re egoists, but the Reforming Light in the study of Kabbalah works on the person and gradually shapes a more and more correct intention. But this is why a person needs to address all things corporeal in the normal ways, and what, if anything, needs to change according to a person’s spiritual advancement, will change.
Hi Chris,
The Light is indeed abstract – meaning we exist in an ocean of pleasure, however we feel it only if (1) we have a vessel in which to feel it, as you cannot enjoy wine if you have no mouth, no stomach, no brain, etc. We are missing the receivers to receive this broadcast of pleasure. So, we have to build the correct receiver. From birth we have a receiver that is both too small – the way a baby only wants mommy’s milk and so cannot enjoy any of the things you call pleasure – and our receiver is also in an incorrect, prohibited format. Meaning there is an Upper Law against the form we want to receive in, by our nature. That’s why whenever we’re about to receive, the pleasure evaporates.
About the pace, you don’t need to rush. This is an ongoing, self-paced course where the students in this cohort have started at different times and should they continue, will enter different groups as they complete the required courses.
The drama between the Light and Kli is all there is in Creation. Except we don’t feel it yet because the Kli is now broken and out of this brokenness we depict reality. The Light wants to fill the Kli but for that the parts have to connect. We are those parts. We don’t feel any Shame in our state because we don’t feel there is an Upper Force permeating everything and bestowing to us.
Adam HaRishon includes everybody, but he shatters. Now, we are his shattered parts. The whole perception of this world – and this is why we call our world imaginary – is an imagination of a reality in which the parts of Adam HaRishon are separated. We need to try to break out of this imagination by moving toward the true reality, which is that we stand connected, filled with the Upper Light. But we don’t feel that yet, and that’s why we need the wisdom of Kabbalah.
