When these are describing what happens to the Light when the screen is repelling it, it reminds me of the parts of the Zohar where it’s talking about “painting colors” and the “fountain.” Are those talking about the same thing? It’s just basically Light splattering on the screen, and it doesn’t just disappear if it’s not received into the vessel?
I hope that’s not a dumb question. I’m not trying to create a mental picture. I’m just trying to figure out which metaphors are correlated with each other in the different books and articles, because I know they are just trying every which way to describe the same thing.
I recently finished all the beginner courses (for the second time; I had studied here a long time ago, gone out into the world thinking I had all I needed, and then returned when I realized THIS is actually the whole point.)
I know that the group is more important than understanding the technicalities, but it seems like often when I am reading something technical it actually answers seemingly unrelated questions about myself, other people, how relationships work, why the world is the way it is, and what the Creator is asking for. My hope is for that to continue happening here. Also, I am grateful to Julian for recommending this, because your “Kabbalah Explained Simply” episodes tend to help me clear puzzles and blocks always exactly when I need it. Thanks!I was thinking about your question similar to this in Yerganat’s class, about how hard it can be sometimes. And I rephrased it a bit and asked Tony last week. Basically, I felt like I could see so much revelation of evil in the world, (which I take as a confirmation coming from the Creator) but my feeling was almost like it was being caused by my studies somehow (which I know is negating none else besides Him.) And this doubt felt like a clear deceleration.
Tony’s thought on it was that what I see is not actually what is happening; it’s just my state and my readiness to recognize the inversion of egoism from the Creator’s qualities. The discussion delineated for me how the up and down is the feeling of willingness and desire to “go.” Whether I am feeling good or bad, if it is pushing me to learn more and connect more… it’s the acceleration I’m looking for. Â (For me, if I’ve lost the desire to keep looking I know I’m flat on the floor and it’s time to ask for some revelation.)
That isn’t anything that the materials and teachers haven’t already said a bunch of different ways. But I wanted to say something because a lot of times your question is the question I had, and my hope is that you will keep asking them.
I’m not in a group yet. I hope you don’t mind if I bug you to ask when the next young group might be created. I don’t want to miss it.
Unrelated question:
In the daily lesson they were talking about maybe revamping dissemination in the US. I am an illustrator, graphic designer and marketing copy writer. I have experience depicting abstract concepts in a way that will attract people with the relevant interests without misleading visual content.If they need help with that could you point me to the organizer.
I’d like to request an episode of Kabbalah Explained Simply to be about King David. I read about him sometimes in the Zohar, but there’s not much about him in our playlists. It would be cool if you could cover:
What is the spiritual root of “Goliath?”
Why is David in everyone, but Moses is not?
What exactly are all these battles David is doing?
Also, David seems to have a paradoxical relationship with the Creator and the posterior of the Creator. It seems like he is made to do forbidden things and then forgiven for them. What is the spiritual root of that dynamic, and what’s the proper attitude towards it? Is it similar to the concept of always striving to act in bestowal in the next moment, but trying not to regret the last moment because it was the Creator who controlled it?
