Hi Gianni

I totally feel there is a law governing us. What I think/feel/do are the results of some parameters in His operating system, fetching relevant data based on my state. However, I do not feel Him. I do not think I have a personal relationship with Him. I can say that I choose to surrender to His law, but I have no sense of the One that’s behind the law.

This is very frustrating, as I have no love, fear, or hatred towards Him. Why would I have emotions towards an operating system? Is there a state that describes where I am at?

It’s quite frustrating, as I do not know how to break through to sense Him directly. Or am I not supposed to sense Him before the barrier?

thanks

HI Gianni, yesterday’s excerpt you selected about teaching the wisdom is very interesting. which brought a question:

I recall hearing something like: only Israel will go through active correction, while the rest of the souls are gradually pulled together with Israel and thereby attain correction. If ultimately every soul is destined to attain the purpose of creation, how should we understand the three discernments in ‘The Teaching of the Kabbalah and Its Essence?  Are these three discernments specifically stages of our work while we are in this world? where there is a teacher-student relationship and transmission of the wisdom? Or do these three discernments continue to have meaning even after all the souls have been gathered and attained the purpose of creation?

thanks

Hi Gianni:

about: “Moses told the Jewish people, “If you are a hired worker in a vineyard, you may eat as many grapes as you desire, until you are sated.” Deuteronomy 23:25”

based on Rav’ blog (kabbalahmedia.info/en/publications/blog/laitman-com/164279). Vineyard is your future higher desire/state. you shall nourish yourself through it but you can’t take that desire to your current state since you don’t have the right Kli in it.  I am also rewatching “the blueprint of creation”, and it seems like Hitlabshut is somewhat related to this inner work? if so, my questions are:

-should I intellectually try to imagine my future/higher state? how I would behave, what I would desire, etc?or is my work simply to develop a yearning for that state and turn it into a prayer? how do I correctly include myself in the higher state?

-And what exactly is the “nourishment” that I receive from the higher state? If I don’t yet know or feel the higher state, how does that nourishment come, and what does it feel like or how can I recognize its effect in me?

thanks

Hi Gianni

yesterday’ lesson on What Is the Meaning of “Spies,” in the Work made me think about prayer: Before barrier, my heartfelt prayer is definitely Lo Lishma, should I pray honestly from what I truly want even knowing that it’s not aligned with the Creator yet, and that the Creator may answer by correcting my desire(via blow/suffer) rather than giving me what I ask for? Or should I try to formulate a more correct prayer, even if it doesn’t yet come from my heart?

And should I end the prayer by saying that I know my request may not be aligned with you, and that I accept whatever answer you gave me?

thanks
