Ilya,
We have no ability to know or feel what is spiritual bestowal. We can approximate by looking at the love of a parent towards a child, but this too, if we examine it is also egoistic.
In order to come to have an intention to bestow, first we reach the nullificaiton of our own personal interests.
However, be cautioned, not to go out into your day and start acting like you don’t need anything and eating stone soup for dinner and sleeping on the floor.
Absolutely not.
Nullifying your own personal interests comes naturally as a result of being more and more influenced by positive spiritual example.
There is a rule in nature that the small one naturally annuls before the big one. For example if you are child soccer player and you saw Lionel Messi,you would be immediately nullified by the greatest soccer player alive, you’d be in awe, wanting to watch how he moves, how he speaks, you’d be happy to carry his bags and stay up talking as long as he wants.
Similarly, we don’t fight with our ego, we invest more in the spiritual environment until it becomes bigger in our eyes than our corporeal desires and the nullification happens naturally and in this process we draw light upon us that raises us to a spiritual embryo and our spiritual birth begins.
Seth@KabUGbale,
Oui. Nous apprendrons la méthode ensemble. Maintenant, il est très important d’étudier les principes fondamentaux de l’endroit où nous sommes, de qui nous sommes et des forces qui agissent sur nous.Seth@KabU
Angela,
Each person should study where there heart is.
If this technique works for you and helps you in your life, so carry on.
A kabbalist can be a musician, a painter, an architect, maybe she runs marathons, jumps into ice water for health or maybe does some practice like you mentioned that has many health benefits.
However, none of those things should be confused with the wisdom of kabbalah. We are studying a practical method for revealing the Creator in our lives. We are studying nature, the forces operating on us, and how to work with them.
Keep them as two distinct things and you will advance more correctly. In the same way that a person may go for a run in the morning, you do have your meditation practice.
Additionally you are studying the wisdom of kabbalah.
Later you will see how everything naturally arranges itself for you.
Seth@KabUAlejandro,
Imagine you arrived to a new country with a new culture.
For example in the United States, when something is good and we agree, we give the thumbs up. But there are other countries where giving the thumbs up is an insult.
So we need to not only know that we can raise our thumb, but also know what the result of that will be depending on what place we are in.
So you are in kind of a different country now and you will need to learn the customs of the new place.
The language and definitions that you brought from your last country will get you different results here.
So lower or higher revelation…I don’t even know what you are talking about, for sure we don’t have the same definitions yet.
The verse you reference means that what did the Creator do? He created a vessel called Malchut of Ein Sof that can receive all of the abundance that He wants to give.
So what’s the problem?
The problem is that the vessel feels 100% to receive while the Creator is 100% to bestow, and this makes them as opposite and spiritually as far from each other as possible. To correct his distance, the vessel empties herself of all of the light and makes a calculation that she will only receive if she can receive in order to bestow contentment back to Him, meaning she will receive, but not for herself, she will receive in order to bestow and in this, her intention becomes the same as His intention.
The power to change herself comes also from Him (after all she has nothing of her own, everything comes from Him). The Light that corrects her intention from reception to bestowal is called the Light of the Torah.
Seth@KabUZorica,
Many, many names.
We can list names we see in the Bible, but all in all, everything is the clothing of the Creator.
Just as you are Mom, also friend, also sister, maybe boss or employee, and neighbor.
So it’s all you. You don’t change, or as we say, the Light doesn’t change, but according to the vessel, the one who perceives, so is the Light called.
