Dissemination is a job I’m directed to do, and I carry out. That way, it’s sure that the benefit takes place somewhere beyond my skin, according to a need that is not defined by me. It’s also typically not something that will only bear fruits years from now, but something quick and current.
Hi Pradeep,
These are all good, necessary things. We need fear to reach love. Before I can reach love, which will require fear in order to hold onto the love, I need to start with fear that I’m not taking care of the ten, I’m not sufficiently pushing them toward the goal, soon they will fall from the connection, or if we’re connected, we’re not connected enough. Until I’m worrying for this, all the way to the point of connection on the degree of Gmar Tikun, the fear is not enough – and it wouldn’t matter if I reached the degree of love as I would not be able to hold onto it without establishing fear first.
Hi Naomi. Good question because there is practically nothing that falls within the domain of the person except for fear, as it is written, “All is in the hands of the Creator except for fear of the Creator.”
It’s true, I can’t bestow, so I’m not in a situation where I already need to worry about lessening my bestowal. But I am in a state where I could increase how much I push everyone toward the goal. Instead of counting how many things I did toward this, I could count how many more things I could do.
This is discussed in this book https://www.amazon.com/Zohar-annotations-Ashlag-Commentary/dp/1085959058, a commentary on the Zohar based on conversations Rav had with Rabash. I don’t think it’s suitable to answer questions about different pieces of this text because it’s supposed to be studied only to draw the Reforming Light. The commentary itself is already all the answers that are possible. If you read this commentary it will sort out many things.
