Esmeralda,
In the process from Ein Sof (without end) through the creation of the created being, there are two restrictions.
The first one takes place after the 4 phases of direct light.
We learned that the thought of creation is to create a creature and fill it with good.
From that thought extends the 4 phases of direct light until we arrive at Malchut of Ein Sof, that means we arrive at an endless vessel that can receive all of the light of the Creator.
However there is a problem. The Creator of course is 100% a bestowing force, but Malchut is now 100% a receiving force and because of this, their natures are 100% opposite from one another, in spirituality, distance is measured by the difference between the qualities. So these qualities are as far as east is from west.
Malchut wants to be close to the Creator, but is endlessly far, so she (we call her she, but there is no created being yet), says, I can’t bestow, because I don’t have anything of my own to bestow, BUT, I can stop myself from receiving and at least in that I won’t be 100% opposite in form from the Creator.
That stopping of receiving is called Tzimtzum Aleph (1).
Seth@KabUEtienne,
It does feel like a long road. Nevertheless we need to awaken each other and bring this reality closer.
We are living in a very special time that Baal HaSulam calls the last generation, the end of the material evolution and now humanity will become despaired of reaching some happiness from animal fulfillments and will look for spirituality.
We are pioneers establishing this wisdom in actuality.
Seth@KabUBeth,
Yes, we are talking about a spiritual intention to bestow. The mother’s relationship to her child has a spiritual root, the extends from Bina in that relation. All relations in our world are on the animal degree.
Seth@KabUBonnie,
All we need is a creature who can feel endless fulfillment.
That is called the thought of creation, to create a creature and fill it with endless fulfillement.
So how can we get there?
The kabbalists tell us that we are in a field of endless light, everything is contained in that wholeness.
But of course we don’t feel that at all.
It’s not a problem at all to be one with the Creator, that’s not where the problem is.
For example, the sun is so big that over a million Earth’s can fit in the sun.
Now imagine that you are a spark of that sun, you are made up of all the stuff of the sun, you are in there in the sun, but you are completely one with the sun, you don’t feel yourself at all, even though you are one with the sun, there is no sense of you, no sense of the power of the sun, nothing.
So in order to come to feel exactly where we are, which is contained completely in the Upper Light of the Creator (of which there is no comparison to the sun or anything else we can imagine, it is something beyond “boundaries”, called Ein Sof (without end)…in order to feel that, we were created opposite that, from that extends many operations and processes, one of them is called the shattering.As for Lishma, what you are saying is clear, but that has nothing to do with Lishma. You are talking about imagining something about the spiritual sensation with the corporeal mind. Lishma is attainment of the spiritual reality, it is something very active, it means to perceive and feel emotions beyond the material world.
Seth@KabUHi Joshua,
Let’s leave our beliefs on the side for now.
We are studying a science. Let’s try to understand what the kabbalists are explaining to us, if we are ready for that.
The Creator created the heaven = Bina and earth = MalchutAdam HaRishon that we are going to study now is a spiritual system of the collective soul where the Creator will dwell.
