Tiago,
You are right that it takes time, but not exactly as you said.
We are not looking to renounce our corporeal desires.
Kabbalah means to receive. We want to understand, why do I always feel bad and empty?!
We receive money, sex, family, honor, but we always return to emptiness.
This wisdom guides us to live in this world as we must and to build a new perception, a new whole, eternal reality.
You are correct that our body will not agree to this work. That is true and that remains. The body protests and it is correct.
The body says, I was created in order to enjoy, so I must enjoy.
And the body is correct.
So we have been given the awakening of our point in the heart.
And we know from nature that the small one gets pleasure from serving the big one. Like we would be happy to carry the bag of a famous person.
So, when the Creator becomes great in our eyes, it is a great pleasure to do everything for Him.
So He bestows to the vessel and the vessel bestows to Him and the vessel is in eternal fulfillment and adhesion.Seth@KabU
beth,
Let’s look at the question from a different angle.
Imagine that every time I eat a certain food, my body breaks out in hives.
Now imagine that a doctor gives me a cream to make the hives go down.
So my body is still reacting to the food, but I’m suppressing it’s reaction.
It’s not a perfect example, but we need to see that the world we see is a material profection of the inner state of humanity.
We are in the early stages of our study so it is not clear how do deal with the world outside of me if the cause of everythign I see outside of me is inside of me. So we learn that we live in this world as usual, we buy insurance, stay healthy, all the conducts of this world.
And also we are not here studying about the system of nature, by that we bring ourselves into harmony with system and then the system we see outside of us, inanimate, vegetative and animate degrees also come into harmony with us as we ascend.
Seth@KabUbeth,
When someone close to us passes, it is very emotional.
If we were 500 years old, we would still feel emotions, but we would have seen that everyone we knows that is born also dies and we would understand this progression of time.
As we study the wisdom of kabbalah we start to hear about a different reality that exists above time and space.
There, life is eternal.
When that high root extends down to its corporeal branch in this world, here it turns through incarnations as it ripens.
In spirituality, there is singularity. In the material world, that unity is stretched out over a timeline.
You can say that spirituality is round, everything is there all at once. Corporeality is like a line, one thing after the next.
Seth@KabUbeth,
The masach means that the vessel only permits as much light to enter as it can use in order to bestow.
You can bestow while eating lunch or when doing something for the friends.
Seth@KabUFelix,
The Torah is 100% a kabbalistic text.
Can we understand it as a kabbalistic text? That takes time.
For our generation, we do have a way to access that book through the Sulam commentary on the ladder and all of the writings that we received from Baal HaSulam and Rabash, however it is very very far from us and is not useful and efficient for our goal now which is to correct our nature to be in order to bestow. When we have just a small amount of spiritual attainment, we begin to understand what is written in those books.
I can tell you about London for hours, but if you walk down the street for a minute, you will know the sounds, the smells, the feeling in the air.
Seth@KabUEtienne,
There are many feelings that become more powerful and more intense.
Feeling connected and feeling disconnected. Many entries and exits.
We work and make efforts to always be connected to the Creator through all of the states.
It means to tie everything that is happening to one force and it is all guiding us to the good.
Seth@KabU
