Hi Tamar,
Yes, because of our egos we became very well-connected, so that we won’t be able to extricate ourselves from our interdependence, even if we’d very much like to. We didn’t intend to become interdependent; we wanted to use each other. Soon, we will be forced to recognize our absolute dependence on each and everyone else. There’s a beautiful side to this but we need to rise above our egos to see it.
To live the laws of bestowal I need to start with a small group that, so to speak, represents a mini-humanity, and see to what extent I can keep those laws, at least with them. Here, I strip away extraneous, superfluous forms and focus precisely on those that spiritually matter. This is what we will practice in the Kabablistic group. Daily life implementation only follows from this.
Hi Naomi. Well, these are standard arguments of the Will to Receive, to throw us away from spirituality. Each one, we can find in the writings of Rabash. They’re all normal and on the way to the goal. Each is like a boss in a video game and has its approach, and we have to go Above Reason, to connection, regardless of their approach. If I think these are MY thoughts, that’s a problem. They’re forces appearing in me.
No, rather I have a genetic code by which I’m a woman because of something deeper, the genetic code is just a middleman.
If we’re talking about a person in their basic human nature, then women, based on their completely different inner world than men have, cannot unite, because a woman is like a whole world by herself. She doesn’t truly need any other women. We can come up with a million exceptions to the rule, but in the end, they just clothe upon this rule and it remains eternally. Because a woman relates to the actual matter of Creation, the only thing there is in the Creation: Malchut. Man is something later in Creation, according to his root. And he is more inclined to connection, by nature. That’s why if you have some regular kids in our world, the way you work with them, to bring them to cooperation, if you understand human nature, will be different for boys and girls. There’s no way to give a good explanation of this here. It’s just endless.
Now, back to the spiritual explanation. Everyone starts as a “woman” – the basic matter of Creation without any adornments – I need to become a “man,” Adam, from the word domay (similar) to the Creator. And thus we all have to connect. Man and woman contain both parts (if they have a point in the heart), and need to make dominant the Point in the Heart, to הִתְגַּבֵּר” (hitgaber), overcome my desire of Malchut is to be a man, gevur, from the same Hebrew root ג־ב־ר (G–B–R).
Our bodies are just symbols, copies into matter from a higher level.
I don’t know what the intention of the book was, but it was something the Kabbalist wanted to put into the world, for a future time. For example, tomorrow I’ll be on The Great Transition podcast and we’ll hear some things Rav Laitman said years ago that was vexing at the time, that now we see match very well the reality of AI today. I think this book, though, teaches important things about the natures that exist in all of us, and also about the correction, which will be soon, because we’ll see that there’s no other choice.
We can either call Atzilut the World of Correction, it’s usual moniker; or we can say that the world of Beria, Yetzira, and Assiya are also worlds of correction. These 3, BYA, are corrections on the way, in Ohr Hassidim without the fulfillment of Hochma. But even this is a sublime beautiful state above anything in this world. It’s not exile, but it’s not the achievement of Purpose of Creation either – because that means to be filled with the Light of the Purpose of Creation, Hochma, and not only with the Light of the correction of Creation, Hassidim.
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.
