Hi, I’m Katrina and I live in the US. I am interested in this course to gain new perspectives on the concepts I’m studying currently.
Gianni, I need to ask about something that raised eyebrows in my group. I understand that procreation is encouraged in the texts, and Rav Laitman has supported this view. Â I understand that consideration is always given to the individual, and I don’t want to apply this as some mandate. I would just like my friends to know the root, and perhaps that will comfort them. What is the Kabbalistic meaning of procreation?
I have a question about “women’s work”. I came to this path from the path of suffering. It seems that people have wanted to “take” from me as soon as I became an adult. I have been in environments where I felt it was extremely hostile toward me at the unconscious level and on the surface. It’s like all men wanted was to find ways to steal from me. This made me protect myself. I eventually felt I had nothing more to give to these environments. As time went on, I found better environments, and my job fit with a natural inclination as a problem solver. It seems to me now that I would sense a need, and I would take it as my own and “fix it”. Although I grew as a person and developed more strength, I was still drained. Once I left that environment, I no longer felt that inclination (except with my children). Yet, as soon as I came to this environment, it came out of nowhere! I couldn’t even control it. I have been gradually coming to realize that I can cause harm to myself and my friends by doing this.
How do we separate ourselves from sharing our egos and only share spiritual desire? Is this just a process we go through of realization? Is what I am describing above “women’s work”? Because I feel what I am doing is without knowledge or intention.
