  • Saji,
    You entered a very special environment.  It will require that you slowly learn the meaning of all of these words.
    We are not referring to mitzvot as a physical act that you do with your hands or with a piece of leather or with a certain species of animal.
    The mitzvot are corrections on our desires from in order to receive to in order to bestow.
    The physical mitzvot that you are referring to were implemented by the sages prior to the 2000 year exile in order to hold the form of the people and the culture through the long and difficult exile, they took spiritual actions and clothed them into corporeal actions.
    So that you don’t get confused all of the work that we are studying is work in the heart.
    This will become more clear as you progress in the study.
    Good luck,

    Saji,
    There are very important questions and also very confusing questions.
    On the one hand we have developed as we are with good reason.  The nature of reality was created in a way for us to go from this perception to the eternal perception.  But we do not disregard this life.  To the contrary, we live a healthy life, we have a family, do good work, all of the normal things required of any creature on Earth.
    In addition to that you are correct, as we are studying, this reality is an illusion.  How can we discover that?
    Take a cat to the opera.  You will sit there and your heart will be moved and the cat will fall asleep, she doesn’t even know that there is a theatre that she is sitting in.  And what about the ant crawling on the floor?  He also doesn’t know about the world that you are in.  There is some reality, but every creature perceives it completely different and all of that perception is based on how the creature is designed and the “operating system” in the creature.

    Regarding the corporeal world and time, all of these are qualitative measurements.  Later we will study together the structure of the upper worlds and there it becomes more clear that we are not pointing to some planet and some world, but relations.  All of this world was given to us in order to feel what is close, what is far, who am I, who is the Creator, without this external world, we would be like a piece of dust floating through endless eternity with no perception of ourselves.

    Swaggy,
    This is a serious question.
    If you observe your life you’ll discover that you are a desire to receive pleasure.  Everything you think and do is only how to be in a more optimal state.  And not only you, the bird outside, the atoms in air.  The entire creation is a will to receive.  That is the only creation that the Creator created.  Take a minute and think about that.
    99.99999999% of reality exists seemingly outside of us (later we will learn that all of reality is inside of us, but that’s for later).  When we look at the stars, the planets, even the other countries and the sea, billions of people and all of the creatures, it is all outside of me, yet my entire perception system is made of a few openings where I let a tiny amount of data into my body and from that tiny amount of data I build my perception of the world.
    The secret to your answer will be found in inverting our perception from taking everything in life to fill myself, to participating in the whole of reality as a small link in an eternal chain that stretches above me and below me and that I am a conduit for the eternal light that passes through me.
    We will get into this much more later.
    Now, the most important is to stabilize yourself with the foundations of where am I, who am I, where can I make a spiritual action.

    Jesse,
    You can feel a lot of things.
    There are many accounts of people who can feel the future, feel the past, this is all possible.
    When we are speaking about the kli, there is the general kli, meaning that all of the desire of creation is on four degrees: inanimate, vegetative, animate and speaking degrees.  All of that desire is called the kli.
    But this is how we perceive the desire with our corporeal senses.  For example a dog and a man can both perceive a rock, a plant an elephant and a person, but the dog and the man would perceive them differently based on their degree of development.
    We are studying only about the perception and attainment of spirituality, a whole and eternal reality.
    This reality is built through many conscious efforts over a period of time with a teacher who already has this attainment, studying books written by those who attained the upper most degrees.
    All of our courses in KabU are designed to prepare a person to enter into this work.

    Namron,
    Your explanation is very nice and emotional and the Creator is flirting with us, developing our desire and drawing us close.
    Lo Lishma, meaning that I don’t even have the power to do the work at all.  Whereas sometimes I’m working in concealment, but I’m working, I know that by this concealment I’m building my desire but there are times where a person can come to a state where he loses connection with that work altogether too, meaning he lacks the strength to work even Lo Lishma.

    Actingraphy,
    Of course each one perceives through his own vessels.  That is clear.
    However we also live on earth and there are laws that are established.  While we study that spirituality is beyond time, space and motion, we also live in a world where gravity is a reality.
    We know that it is hotter in the summer than it is in the winter.  So like this we start to construct for ourselves an understanding of what we are studying.   There will be confusions, of course, but we advance with both heart and mind, these are our tools, so take notes, try to understand at least in a simple way without bringing all of your luggage from your past, just learn what we are studying in a simple way.  Later we will acquire other tools which are above our mind, but even then we still return to the mind and back and forth from entrances and exits we advance, as it says, “the Torah will come out of Zion (exits)”.

    All of our thoughts and everything in reality develops through a process of cause and effect.  Thoughts serve the desire.  Change the desire and the thoughts will change.
