Jesse,
Every quality that exists in all of its forms also exists in every subsequent world.
The difference is the level of concealment over it more and more until we are at the bottom of the world of assiyah, completely detatched.
Seth@KabUElliott,
If a person is advancing correctly, after a time of elation, there comes a time of weakness. The Light of the Torah shines on a person and he feels that he is created as a receiver but he wants to be like the Creator who is a bestower. This tires a person who cannot find what to do to be like the Creator. This happens on purpose and brings the person to a heartfelt prayer from the bottom of his heart.
Seth@KabUNathan,
You are in one of the four fundamental classes where a person is introduced to the world of kabbalah so that the person begins to understand who am I, where am I, what are the forces that are operating me and around me. After these courses a student has the ability to join a more dedicated group who works with special texts and practically implements the teaching.The matter of the ego will become more clear as you study.
Seth@KabUAdelina,
The question is what is a person, called Adam.
This does not refer to a person who wears clothes and lives in a home somewhere, but Adam means that the person has an inner structure that resembles that of the Creator.
The flesh and blood body is not the relevant part, but the desire of the person, which direction it aims, if it aims like all of the other creatures towards reception or if it inverts towards bestowal like the Creator.
Seth@KabUTerence,
You are correct that we have this emptiness, this void. This is what the Creator created.
Before creation all of reality was filled evenly and equally with one endless light. In the Creator’s thought (that’s how the kabbalists write it) arose a desire to create a creature and fill that creature with endless delight.
From the side of the Creator, there is not time or space, so that happened instantaneously, instantaneously there is a vessel, an emptiness that is endless and is filled with the Creator’s light.
But for us who perceive reality in our limited way, we feel here, below the barrier, we feel time and space and a sequence of events.
As we start to perceive the system, which is what we are learning here together, we learn about the structure of this desire, this void.
After all, all of reality is filled with endless light, so all of our work is only to make a vessel that can hold that light.
You pour wine into barrels and potatoes into sacks. Each thing has its correct vessel.
For the light of the Creator we need a kli (a vessel, a deficiency, a special lack).
What we want to do know is to start speaking with him, converse with Him in your heart, with your words, however you can and as much as you can.
It does not change Him at all, He does not change, but by relating ourselves to Him, and when we say Him we are referring to the Creator, that endless force of bestowal, when we relate to Him, it starts to format our own vessel.
If you wanted to raise star dust up to be a creature that knows all of reality, to become like God, so first it needs to want to eat and then procreate and then build a home and then acquire some wealth, it takes a long time until that matter organizes itself, the mind and emotion develop until it even starts to recognize that there is a Creator.
We are on our way and these things will become more clear.
Keep asking the Creator to guide and help us to bring His light into the world.
He will make the vessel bigger and we will keep asking. Later you will learn here how we connect together with others to form a structure we call a “10” between us where we form a common vessel called a soul for the Creator to dwell.
