Hi Gianni, sorry for pestering you again. I am reading “attaining the worlds beyond” and come across below paragraph. #1 sort of confuses me as I thought we shall never pray for obstacle removal as without them, there is no work, there is no correction. I am probably reading it wrong. please hope:

P 326, Chapter Spiritual Work

When we experience obstacles in our advance toward the Creator, we must ask the following of the Creator:

1. That the Creator remove all the obstacles, which He Himself sends, so that we can overcome them by our own means, and not be in need of greater spiritual strengths than we already possess.

2. That the Creator grant us a greater desire for spiritual

understanding, and impart to us the importance of

spiritual ascent. Then, obstacles will not be able to stop

us on the path to the Creator. We as individuals are willing

to give up everything in the world for our lives, if life is

valuable to us. For this reason, we must ask the Creator to

grant us a taste of spiritual life so no obstacles will deter us.

Dear Gianni, I know you have tried to raise the importance of the creator and the work for us, many many times, of course we need to implement it but as our instructor, you did a great job in emphasizing it whenever there is an opportunity. the very recently YG article actually talked about the only way is to raise the important of the creator. it’s in my heart. thank you!

we say there are two paths, path of pain and path of Kabbalah… one is passively suffering, I get that. however, the path of Kabbalah, would we experience more frequent and more intense pain on this journey, because our aim is to do it faster, but everybody has certain numbers of reshimo to correct, and everybody has 125 ladders ahead of them. even in the preparation period, I start to feel that intensity, it seems like once you were able to recovery a bit, the Creator would throw you off quickly.  I don’t really have a question but rather an expression: Ding, this should be call the path of pain, but I am willingly, at least so far :). cheers to pains.

How could Malchut decide on something? there is even no Adam yet at that point.

I agree I am incapable of relating to the creator yet, I am learning, very slowly on how. I understand why we suffer, but I was trying to explain it feels like the system he created resulted me/us in suffering, but now the ball is at my court, I need to revert things, but I/we didn’t create the state we are in to start with, and the correction is a long process, we will continue to suffer, despite that I will be working on it, on each ladder, each reshimo, I suffer on different things.

Hi Gianni

“We say that ‘He is good who does good,’ and that all suffering comes only from the lack of equivalence of form.
But the entire system of concealment, along with the will to receive and the egoistic intention, was created by the Creator — not by the creature. Therefore, all the pain we experience because of concealment is also a result of His design, correct?

I understand and accept that the intention behind this design is completely good, to bring us to the perfect state. But my question are Are we supposed to say that the pain itself is ‘from my perception,’ even though I did not choose the will to receive, the concealment, or the egoistic intention?
Is it correct to say that I justify the intention and the final result, but the actual pain still originates from the system He built?
Or must I also think that I am the one who caused these pains?
And  If I were corrected completely and the same events were to happen in this world(not the TEN but this corporeal world), would I truly feel no pain at all — only good?

thanks

Helen
