Hi Gianni, in today’s “Sunday meeting with Friends”, we read ” Study of the Ten Sefirot – Inner Observation – Vol. 1, Part 1″ :

“One” indicates a single evenness. “Unique” implies that everything that extends from Him, all these multiplicities, are in Him as single as His self. “Unified” shows that although He performs the multiple operations, one force performs all these, and they all return and unite in the form of One. Indeed, this one form swallows all the forms that appear in His operations.

my question is: this seems to imply that the creature and the creator are ONE. I thought we do NOT know the essence of the creator, we only attain our relationship with him, if so, how did we conclude Him and us are ONE? I am probably not understanding this in a right way.

thank you!

Hi Gianni, several of us in our Ten would like to learn more about Ten Sefirot since we have been taking Seth’ class on
“Introduction to The Study of the Ten Sefirot”. We know you have a class called the Blueprint of Creation, and in Arvut there is ongoing live class by Rav, there are probably a lot of other materials we can use as well. We would like to ask your guidance on how we should approach this together so we can make it meaningful but not overwhelming.

 

thanks

Hi Gianni

thank you for the lesson on Clothing. is below understand correct? anything still missing?

Clothing is like the form I take on before I truly have the Creator’s quality. Even though my inner desire is still egoistic, I act as if I already have the quality of bestowal in the way I relate to my Ten. This is called “putting on clothing” , which is an external form that covers my true nature? Through this clothing/form, the Light will recognize the likeness of the Creator’s quality and begin to influence and correct me? As I rise on the rungs, I must constantly renew these clothing, adopting higher forms of clothing, so that the Light can continue to match and correct me until my inner quality becomes equivalent to the Creator?

if I attempt to answer myself own question during the class about clothing and screen, screen is like the result of clothing and light working o me?

last but not least:  the clothing, the form I am taking, is that initiated by me? what’s the creator’s role in this clothing process?

thanks

can you share and explain the spiritual root?

So is the reason Kabbalists study early mainly to choose a time when the disturbances from corporeal matters are minimal?
If so, how is that different from, say, the Buddhist approach of retreating from worldly desires to quiet them?
Since in Kabbalah we don’t try to cancel desires but to correct them, is studying at night an attempt to ‘cancel corporeal desires,’ or is it something else?

thank you!

Hi Gianni,

Why do Kabbalists get up really early to study? isn’t the light always there?

thanks
