Hi Joy,
Yes, Tiferet is used almost interchangeably with ZA. Although there’s a reason for the two names that will matter when more details become relevant.
It’s best not to think of it as “us”. But yes, the order of the entry of the Lights is so that the lowest intensity Light enters first, into the purest Kli, and the greatest Light enters lasts, and ends up in the purest Kli.
You need to clarify the question yourself, down to a one-sentence question with a question mark at the end. Then it’s a question.
You’re right, the Restriction is a law, and so it would seem we’re able to breach it – that’s why ours is called the imaginary world. We’re convinced that we can receive. That conviction is what drives our lives. Later, the accountant will come and show us that we made all the wrong calculations. We did not receive, and if we would’ve aimed each moment towards the attainment of spirituality, instead of aiming at the mirage of reception we would’ve attained a true, beautiful, eternal life while still in this world.
Hi Jonathan,
Understanding, for Kabbalists, means the quality of Bina. That is, to understand is only if I actually reach this quality of the Upper Force.
But there’s also a benefit to the type of understanding you’re talking about, which is that I’m using my mind to try to feel and connect to the material, the effort awakens the Reforming Light, and bit by bit I feel I have more to grasp onto. And that shouldn’t lead me to be satisfied that I understand but it gives me more grip in the study so that I’ll be able to draw even more Reforming Light. Meaning I’ll be able to sit in the study and awaken more and more of these qualities that exist in my soul.
