Hi Seth,

so many questions, hope you don’t mind.

in one of the video the instructor said “we don’t even have a soul yet”, I read more online and it sounds like some say that we have 2 souls, one animal soul called Nefesh Habehamit, the soul we want to develop is called Nefesh Elokit. what’s Kabbalah’ view on this? what’s “point in heart” in relation to either soul?  if you have links to any articles or videos to explain more, highly appreciated.

 

thanks

Hi Seth

We are creatures, we are limited. how can we be equivalent to the creator even if we have desires to be like the creator, even after we have the knowledge of Kabbalah, understand how and why we were created and how to ascend back, but after all we are still creature and limited, correct?  I can see receiving from the creator with the intention to bestow, but I do not see that we have the capability to bestow to our fellow human beings like the creator because we are limited.

I hope that you can clear the clouds in my head. thanks!

Hi Seth

how does the creator govern the creatures? I mean, does everything run based on a fixed program like a software or a simulation game, though it seems like there are some freedom in making choices, but all choices/scenario were all pre-designed like a computer game, the designer who designed the game doesn’t get involved once the game is running.  if I take myself as an example, I started to study Bible about 5 years ago, I didn’t really know why exactly, I started to study Kabbalah end of last year, I didn’t really know why exactly, everything that happened in my life was in his program, I might be able to choose route B instead route A or C or D or E, but whatever route that is possible for me to choose, were already in the program, so do I have limited freedom, freedom within a range. or actually I will only choose program C, even though it appeared to me that I did the selection, but no, the creator “guided” me to select C, I wouldn’t have selected otherwise. not sure if I explained this well.

another question: do you only pray for the creator to prepare a big, huge Kli for his light. nothing else? I meant to be close to the creator is the only pray that will be answered, nothing else?

thanks

1. creator created everything and governs everything. there is nothing that exists that’s not governed by him.

2. the only way for me to be close to the creator is to be like him. everything I do, I should have that goal in my mind. only to be close to him, to be like him, I will have everlasting joy.  how to achieve that? I guess that’s why I am here! and with millions of questions!

it’s hard to stop the mind from trying to make sense of what’s said in English, when I understand absolutely nothing all of sudden I realized language itself doesn’t matter, the meaning/force/energy/light behind it is the same. I can either try to understand what the language itself stands for, or try to connect directly with the energy behind the words directly.  I do not know if I was able to connect but at lease all of the sudden I see the possibility. thank you!
