today’s lesson we studies” 36. What Are the Three Bodies in Man? a couple of questions didn’t get a chance to ask during the class
1. the inner body, which is a clothing for the soul of Kedusha [holiness]” please help to explain the meaning of “clothing for the soul of Kedusha”? what does clothing mean?
2. ” Hence, one must think only of the inner body, for it is a clothing for the soul of Kedusha.”. I thought all of our thoughts came from above, if so, how do we take initiative to think only for the inner body?
thank you and thank you Gianni for the thoughtful reply. that helps… I suppose once I have a group of 10, I will start to feel less isolated in practicing.
With all the knowledge I have now, I feel at peace with the meaning and goals of life—but I feel lost when it comes to the path to get there. I’m waiting to be assigned to a group of 10, and in the meantime, I’ve often been told not to mix spiritual life with the life I’m living. I understand that I shouldn’t apply the “will to bestow” blindly to everyone, but knowing my own nature, and the nature of those I love, while feeling powerless to change anything (at least not yet), leaves me feeling deeply depressed.
Am I the only one who feels this way? Will this pass?
Sometimes it feels like knowing the why and where, but not the how, is even more painful than not knowing anything at all.
what am I doing wrong?
My intention is all for self-love, so does everybody around me. correct? if no judging is required, shouldn’t that include not judging myself? accept that’s my essence and try to use it the right way?
I guess I am a bit lost here. we are all created as this desire to receive, me, you, him, her… how come they are found in perfection in the world of Eyn Sof? if they are, am I not?
also not sure that I understand ” except for the projections from my inner qualities that stand between Eyn Sof and my degree.”
This isn’t directly related to the course, but it’s something that’s been weighing on my mind: How can we continue to appreciate and enjoy kind gestures in real life when we’re aware that, behind every action, there may be some element of self-interest? Thoughts like, “She’s only doing that because it makes her feel good,” or “He’s saying that just to avoid feeling guilty,” make it hard not to question people’s motives. It starts to feel like you’re second-guessing every act of kindness.
