The Upper Light is gradually restricted, restriction by restriction, until we feel what is called Our World, and I’ll confuse things even further by adding that what we experience is not even that, but some special imaginary reality after the very last restriction, but one that is still founded on that penultimate degree called Our World (olam haZe). It’s so that we have a sandbox from which to climb without doing damage to ourselves.
No, AK is really very far from our lives. As understandable as it seems, it’s an alien reality. Because there it’s a single Kli (vessel) against the Upper Light, and here, we are shattered vessels and the Upper Light departed accordingly.
Hi Dave,
There are many prayers leading up to the correct prayer from the bottom of the heart. We need to try to make it as correct as possible. But the main thing is to be always turning to the Creator. We always get an answer: another state, a refined prayer we need to raise to the Creator. If I see that my prayer is not correct, so ask for a more correct prayer, a more correct intention, desire, and so on. All along the way, for each state, we have to ask.
Yes, it will sink in. I reflect on the entire process each time, so you’re not going to be completely lost. Eventually, the goal is to awaken all these things within us, and then we will feel and understand them.
Yes. And the tree of life is explored in the Blueprint of Creation course, which you can take here at any time.
Sure, like a version of a video game, which includes everything – what was, what is, what can be. But does anything exist other than what’s in the frame you’re seeing?
Everything in reality turns out to belong to you, and you will know it in greater depth than we can even imagine. What we experience now, we cannot even call knowing, let alone understanding or attaining. We drift in a dream, not knowing what we see, not even knowing ourselves.
All the desires one has, exist for a reason. The Plan of Creation includes everything, all possible fulfilments. This life is supposed to be frustrating – not as an end in itself, but for one to understand that we were not meant to relax here, in this classroom. But to elevate from here upwards.
How can Keter (GE) from the lower one actually receive at all if it is pure bestowal?
It can bestow in order to bestow, be a passageway for the Light, assuming it can be completely above it. You’re allowed to enter the treasury, but do not touch, do not even look.
What process has the GE or Keter to be gone through so that it can receive?
Keter is pure bestowal, doesn’t receive.
Does Keter contain Malchut?
Of course, all Sefirot are incorporated of all the others. But it’s Malchut of Keter. And that’s not the Malchut we’re talking about. So, no, Keter does not ‘contain Malchut’ in that sense.
And which is the “giving” of Malchut of AHP? The desire/intention for connection? This would mean that the Malchut is corrected in this case, but AHP means per se that it is uncorrected – or not? Is such desire/intention an act of bestowal?
Basically, bestowal to bestow means Equivalence of Form. I want to be connected, even as an embryo in the Upper One. Let’s say in all kinds of actions in the ten, for now, it’s in this direction.
And if Keter/ GE would feel shame – then it won’t be a true Keter/GE, right? That means that “in order to bestow” is stable there, incorporated?
Keter can’t feel shame because it’s only in bestowal. It lacks the material in which to feel shame, i.e. the Aviut of Malchut.
And when we say “I don’t receive anything more” – what is ment by this? Because then we wouldn’t attend any lesson or meetings with friends, because we would receive. To connect means – also – to receive, is an aspect of connecting. I hear smth and can’t make it unheard, I received it.
No, we’re allowed to receive all our necessities, the tiny pleasures of this world that don’t interfere with spirituality. The joy of connection, the joy of the study of Kabbalah, we have to receive. It’s not even called “reception”. Against those states, a person is given alternative states, in which I see that that reception was only to later be able to pay for it with my efforts. If I can fill my life with the joys of similarity with the Creator, through the ten, I’m in a very good state. The Will to Receive does not agree to live in this all the time, which is why one will surely have to receive help from the friends.
