RDB,
Sunlight travels millions of miles through cold and dark space.
When it finally hits the spheres around the earth and the earth itself, they light up and warm up.
Similarly, spiritual light is all around us, filling up the space. In order to perceive it, it needs to hit something. Since it is spiritual, it needs something spiritual to strike. Spiritual light doesn’t react to the ozone or to rock and dirt. The spiritual light can strike the spiritual screen.
But this is just technical information, the most important is to come to feel all of this.We have a small problem. We need some way to feel where is the place where I can make a spiritual action, a giving, altruistic action. It is not clear.
So there is something special here in the wisdom of kabbalah (reception). We discover that I am made of a matter and the nature of that matter is a desire to receive pleasure. I don’t have a choice, this is how I am built, this is how I live and not only me, all of reality is just degrees of the desire to receive.
I live my life thinking I can do something good, that I am a good person. It takes a long time until I discover the truth. The truth is that I’m a liar. The truth is that all I do, I do in order to benefit myself. But when I discover my nature of reception for myself, this is the first spiritual truth that I “attain”. Now I understand that according to my nature I can only receive and I discover that I need the help of the Creator, I need the force of bestowal.
By this I start to build a vessel for the light of bestowal to fill me.
And there is no light without a vessel.
Good luck on this great adventure,
Seth@KabUShaun,
Our work is to always cleave to the right.
The Creator provides the left.
The work between these two will advance us on the middle.
You see a war with your eyes and you feel disconnection, that is the Creator provides the left
You cleave to good connections with others, you build your desire for love, you work in the right line
The greater the distance between these two opposites, the higher one advances until the 125th degree.
Seth@KabURalitza,
There are certainly friends of ours from Russia and from Ukraine who each feel some alegiance or some valor towards their home country. Even if they study and disseminate together, it is natural that there will be a person who feels loyalty to his nation and ideal.
So these friends are not neutral.
But our work is not to be neutral.
Our work is to cover all the separations with love.
It means to ask the Creator to cover all the separations with love.
Seth@KabUXavid,
It’s an interesting distinction here.
The wisdom of kabbalah is telling us that everything that we see is the Creator depicting Himself to us in layers of garments called concealments.
But behind the concealment, everything is one, together with Him.
So when we engage in our spiritual work, we aim towards a connection with the Creator and from that connection where I attain wholeness, then I actually perceive a reality that is whole without flaws.
Seth@KabUEmily,
There are things like that. It’s all very interesting and Baal HaSulam writes about it and we will study it later.
We are in a unique period called the last generation. We are the first generation to advance together as a global humanity.
So first things first, we want to give a simple and clear explanation for what is the wisdom of kabbalah, that it starts to explain to me who I am, where I am, what are the forces acting on me.
Later we will learn a bit more about how this wisdom got passed through the generations as the generations developed.
