It is something that the creature experiences and calls “the Creator” while already in the path of Ahishena? Or is it something that works on everyone separately, regardless of how it is being felt? I guess what I am trying to ask is, is private Providence a form contact with the Creator? Because it sounds more intimate, the Creator concerning Himself and arranging for the individual, but then I remember reading that the Creator doesn’t “see” individuals so I am confused.
Dear Gianni,
My question is about Shamati 22, which was discussed in the morning and noon lessons today. I need some things to be further digested for me, because it’s giving me pain that I don’t understand it.
What does it mean that there is a judge and a judgement? What is this state where you have awareness of that? Isn’t this state achieved when you already have done something above reason? So then you can see how when you are working in bestowal you are progressing towards Dvekut and when you are working in reception, you are punished with separation. And then the awareness of judge and judgement comes. But what is the “learning that leads to action” before you have ever done even a single act above reason, before you are aware of the judge and judgement? The article makes it sound like if I study with the intention to grasp the awareness of judge and judgement within reason, then this is called Torah Lishma, but how can something be Lishma when it’s very goal is to fill the vessel of reason?
Thank you ❤️Is “justifying the friends” seeing the Creator behind them? If this is what you mean, then why shouldn’t I make efforts to see Him behind everything (not just the friends)?
“Justifying” is usually required where there is resistance, but with my friends, there rarely is! Or are we talking about something else here? Like trying to always look for the Creator in everything, even when no resistance is felt?
