No but you can search the Kabbalahmedia.info site for Rav lessons on it and supplement by asking here.
There’s some flexibility in how the Kabbalists express these things because they try to talk to the one’s who are going to attain them.
GAR refers to the Upper Sefirot, ZAT to the lower Sefirot.
Sefirot are essentially corrected Kelim, which shine in their correction.
Ohr Hochma is the Light of the purpose of Creation; Ohr Hassidim is the Light of the correction of Creation, when the Created Being clothes actions of bestowal.
Get everyone involved in some way. Either I’m preparing to attain something and I’m excited for that, or I’m going to bestow, to be the environment for the new sparks. By preparing, I build anticipation, a Kli.
It is always becoming coarser, on the one hand.
On the other hand, only spiritual elevations result in qualitatively greater coarseness.
Coarseness (aviut) is the matter on which we rise to spiritual attainment, which has to be risen above, or inverted.
For starters, you can think of it as the resistance to connection and the ingenuity with which this resistance is administered. This is a product of the degree of coarseness. It’s bad if I don’t have a group, to exit out of my desire to; but if I have a group and know how to use it and ask the Creator, then a great Aviut is good, defines the height I can ascend to.
There isn’t a Retreat or convention that is like another, so that I can say that since I’ve been to one, I don’t need to go to another. Just as I’d never know what I was missing had I not had my 3rd child, so one can’t imagine what the difference will be in the next retreat. That difference, and the magnitude, will depend on one’s preparation and one’s expectations. “There is no Light without a Kli” and so the Light will be there, but it depends whether I come with a thimble or a bucket to receive it.
To prepare? I would work on ensuring that OTHERS are prepared with a big yearning and excitement for it. Other than being sure to book your flight and get your ticket, this is the best way to assure your own success.
