Hi Gianni,
A question came up last night in our ten’s meeting and the friends wanted it asked here.
What is the real reason why Malchut wants to bestow? Why did it bring on the Tzimtzum Alef? Is it for an egoistic reason? There was “shame” but what does this mean? If Malchut wanted to bestow because of something it felt, then it wants it for its own benefit, not for the benefit of the Creator. Is it motivated by the same desire to “control the Creator, to operate Him, to become Him, to take His place” that you mentioned in your Kabbalah Explained Simply session from last Sunday? If not, then what drives it, making the desire to bestow stronger than the desire to swallow all pleasures that could possibly exist? We need to know how Malchut felt, because we want to feel this way, too.
Thank you, Gianni <3
Hi Gianni,
Is corporeal suffering also an invitation by the Creator to come closer to him? How should we relate to it?
Thank you, Gianni! One more related question has come up. Do we attain the work in bestowal individually or is it something that appears simultaneously to all of us in the ten like this team-building game where the people in a circle all lean back into each other’s lap at the same time?
Hi, Gianni,
Related to Maria’s question and to something we learned in the YG (“Mighty Rock of my Salvaton”, where it talks about the force we should not receive fuel from): When I am trying to connect to my friends and bestow, should I be worried that they might receive whatever I want to give in Klipot? Should I try to protect them from that by refraining from bestowing something that I think they may receive in their egoistic vessels? Or should that not be my concern, as it doesn’t seem to be a concern to the Creator. Should I try to bestow like the Creator, without care where it goes, trusting that the system itself will not allow the vessels of reception to receive any light that is not meant for them? Or should I try to make the calculation when, what and to whom to bestow? Â Thank you!
Thanks, Gianni! The problem I’m having is that I see why the screen in the Peh needs to exist, but I can’t see why this space for Hafetz Hesed is needed. Why does that part of the Partzuf have to remain empty? And isn’t this screen/wall similar to the Kashiut in the screen of the Peh?
Hi, Gianni!
I have a question that’s not letting me sleep and I would like to hear your explanation. What is the difference between the screen in the Peh of the Partzuf and the screen in the Guf/Tabur. I get the general difference, but something is still eluding me. Both screens restrict with an intention – the screen in the Peh restricts with the intention to scrutinize how much it can accept in order to bestow. What is the intention in the other screen? Why does it restrict the light from spreading to the Sof?
Thank you!
