Q1: What distinguises the light of blessing from the light of mercy ( it says „the letter bet is the property of Hesed in Hochma“, but further down in the text it is more about the light of mercy being the force that can reach all states down to the lowest, where we are).
It’s in the same direction. So, in that direction of bestowal, when the Kli of Bestowal is over a slightly different Aviut, the Light of Blessing becomes the Light of Mercy. There are many kinds of Lights.
Q2: When can we perceive the light of blessing OR the light of mercy in the work?
That’s in coming out of ourselves toward the friends, to the Creator.
Q3: Is there a sensation of the governing force through the light of blessing OR the light of mercy before we attain the very first spiritual degree ( it says the letter bet is the only one suitable to reach ALL of creation… so might this be what in „regular states“ we perceive as a sensation of the governing force?).
To the extent you go according to Rabash, you feel the future Reshimo shining.
Q4: It says the creator reveals in the connection between each other in the work in the ten. Is this perception related to the light of blessing OR the light of mercy or is this something else?
All the Lights are all found between the friends, up to the Light of Eyn Sof.
That’s not simple. First, I need to see that I don’t not love myself, I actually love myself completely. Then, I can grow to understand the nature of the quality of self-love in me. Gradually, I start to hate it. This doesn’t mean I sit and reproach myself, but that I decide once and for all, not to use the Will to Receive for myself.
Yes, this is why there’s no benefit in staying in a decent. Not to reflect, not to discuss. It doesn’t help. To bottle it up, and turn to the Light with it. I’m sorry if that’s the opposite we have in our society — this is of course only for those who are not mentally ill by corporeal medical standards.
When your playing the game of greatness of the goal, when you have a deficiency, it’s shared with the friends in the form of your overcoming. It’s there. In this you give an impression both of the deficiency and the overcoming. In short, we don’t have expressions that are just-so, but always with some calculation. If I don’t add some artifice atop my regular state, well then I’m only lying by expressing the lie as I feel it rather than with some clothing of a truer state upon it. I need to at least add some movement toward he truth, to it.
Crying from the bottom of the heart, you’ll only know when you reach it. But to nag like a child with a half-desire is also welcome. That too is on the way to the one from the bottom of the heart.
What does it mean that there is a judge and a judgement? What is this state where you have awareness of that?
Where the Creator’s laws are revealed. It’s a state after one behaves according to those laws, without proof they exist.
Isn’t this state achieved when you already have done something above reason?
Yes, you keep the laws without proof they exist.
But what is the “learning that leads to action” before you have ever done even a single act above reason, before you are aware of the judge and judgement?
“Learning that leads to action” as opposed to it remains for me as a science that’s only in the book.
The article makes it sound like if I study with the intention to grasp the awareness of judge and judgement within reason, then this is called Torah Lishma, but how can something be Lishma when it’s very goal is to fill the vessel of reason?
The result is the filling; that’s not the goal. We need to come to a clean intention.
