Dear Albert,
I watched the video “Kabbalah Revealed Episode 6: The Screen”.
In this video it is explained the spiritual ascent process of the 125 ladders or phases, “the gradual likening of one’s properties to the light and consecutive filling with it”.
In the minute 20:40, Tony Kosinec states that:
“When the creature gets the level of Yechidah,
the creature has reached complete similarity of form with the Creator, because it has instituted itself its own thought of creation (“Not for me”). It has an independent desire that does not depend on the external delights, but only on the thought of the creature to do something equal to the thought of the Creator.
(…) By having a Rosh (head), what that means is, through an independent desire, the creature can now determine what the reality inside of the vessel would be, the quality of their world, the quality of the light, and all this done for the good of the world as a whole: “Not for me”.
The light (the pleasure), the screen (the means of reception), and the soul (receiver).
I would be very grateful if you could give me further references about this topic.
Thank you in advance for your kind attention.
Have a nice day!
When I realize that I don’t know the purpose of anything, because I consider all that happens around me from the perspective of my sole benefit and gain.
We sometimes succeed and get what we think will make us happy.
Then we realize that it’s not achieving it that brings us lasting joy (having it and enjoying it). Soon we feel just a memory of the excitement we felt when we obtained it.
We see the need of being taught and instructed about how to feel happiness, because our usual way does not work. The source of this way of looking for fulfillment is our very nature, the will to receive. So we can’t escape from it.
The moment we feel the urgence to change our ways and our incapability to make it happen, we open up ourselves to the assistance of and the modeling of our intention by a higher force. We are asking for correction of our natural intention of getting satisfied for our own benefit. This is the real prayer, and it is always automatically answered the same moment we are honestly seeing the situation in this terms.
The process goes onwards, and each step is based on this interaction: we feel miserable because we believe that something that happens is bad for us; we realize that we feel that way because we are not understanding properly what is happening, and we ask for correction, to expand our comprehension. And that comes in the realization that all that happens has the same root: the Kindness of the Cause of everything in this level of outcomes. So everything can only be for the good of all. We are changed from the perspective of our own profit to the view of the general good. This gradual and constant correction of our point of view eventually develops in us the qualities of equanimity and kindness, altruism and not self-centered reference that will lead us to ultimate happiness, a joy that is not fleeting but it rather is a permanent state of giving and receiving as the same.
Hello dear student fellows,
I am Marta from Spain (Barcelona) and I am very happy and grateful to share with you the study of this amazing and awesome ancient wisdom, and the changes in our intention, behavior and the whole thinking system that it will provide us, to live life to the fullest extent.
As one of the students, I would like to go as far as possible, altogether, and I thank the instructors and KabU for spreading all these precious learning materials.
I hope we all enjoy this course!
1 Samuel 1:8: “Then Elkanah her husband said to her, “Hannah, why do you weep and why do you not eat and why is your heart sad? Am I not better to you than ten sons?”
Dear Albert,
I am grateful to KabU for the knowledge that you spread. We all are always guided by the foresight and omniscient Power that eventually will turn the information into wisdom.
First we feel the restlessness of the paradoxes and the riddles that we can’t solve on our own, and then we are guided to the answers, once we are ready to receive them.
This chapter 3 is awesome. And by reading it, I also understand the reply that another senior instructor gave to a question about revelation, in a Q&A session (on Sunday). I rewatched the question and the answer 3 times, and I wanted to ask you please where I can find more about it.
What I understood by what was said in that question and the instructor’s answer, was that there’s a plan in the progressive revelation of the Creator or the giving force, conditioned by the shaping of the same qualities of the Creator in the creature, the will to bestow.
Are these qualities the Sephirot?
Is this so?
Thank you very much in advance for your kind reply.
Best Regards,
Marta
Dear senior instructor,
I’ve just read the recommended readings, which are very suggestive, there are lots of topics and I hope we will go further in all of them.
But the one that I love the most is that on
“Attaining the worlds beyond”, p. 39:
Giving oneself to the Creator means to separate from the “I”.
The intention of an action can change the external form of a mechanical act—giving or taking—to its opposite
we actually feel that we are receiving from, rather than giving to, Him.Could you please indicate us some related article or video about this way of realizing that giving (opening oneself up to the Creator and to all creations) is the way to receive?
Thank you very much!!
A nice day for all!!
