Nicole,
1. Malchut is the desire.  The Shechina is the dwelling place of the Creator in our perception.  When we take the desire in Malchut and learn to clothe that desire in a garment called the soul, there is the Shechina.

2. In the wisdom of kabbalah, we have different definitions than the definitions that the world has or that religions have.  Faith is literally an additional perception above the mind.  It does not mean that I close my mind or shut off my mind, to the contrary, it means my eyes see and my mind perceives and above that I have an additional sense.  This can be like when you go to the gym.  You need to do another exercise, the body says no, the mind says, go take a rest,  but you have some big goal (to be physically fit, to be healthy, to be strong) and this big goal is above the desire of the body and the mind.  All three exist.

3.  The three boundaries are Matter, Form in Matter, Abstract Form.  We don’t have any way, any sense corporeal or spiritual to reach the Essence.  It is written about but this is after the final correction of all of malchut.  It is not related to our work.  Continue reading page 103, and it will make more sense now.

4.  We will acquire tools of perception through our study and our efforts and we will begin to discern them on ourselves.

Elizabeth,
We are not bestowing at all.  We are learning about bestowal.  We are like a child with a baby doll, one day we will be a parent and have real emotions towards a child.  Now we are learning about a quality of the Creator.
In our world we are a creature like all of the creatures.  You need to be safe and comfortable, you need to stay away from people who abuse you.  You wouldn’t see a giraffe going to play among the lions.  That is not natural.
Arrange your life with work and family and health and recreation in a comfortable way.  We don’t need excess, but a good comfortable life and on top of that we will build our spiritual perception and learn what is bestowal.
You can work on both things in the same day.
Like a mother who can go to work but in her heart she always cares about her child.

Henry,
Sí, mientras tanto parece una paradoja.
Un murciélago siente el mundo a través del sonido. Un perro siente el mundo a través de su lengua. Cada criatura construye el mundo interior en base a nuestras percepciones. Aprenderemos más sobre esto.

Hi Elizabeth,
Is this happening between a person in the group here or with someone else?
Our group here together is our laboratory where all of us are learning from the same sources, the method of the kabbalists that we received from them and we are working on it together.
In the meantime, we are not “applying” this method outside of this laboratory.  That would be like taking a very precise and delicate experiment out of the laboratory and onto a snowy mountaintop or in the middle of the city streets.  There are many more variables on the snowy mountaintop and city streets.  Later we will bring our work out there, in the meantime, take what you are learning and integrate in your life the best you can.

Mark,
In theory you are right.  In practice, not yet.
Everything you said we can agree to, however, there is no such thing as good or bad about it.
Q:  What did the Creator make?  What is the only creation in all of reality?
A:   The will to receive, which develops according to 4 phases, inanimate, vegetative, animate and speaking.

So that there is a calculation running in me that I don’t do anything unless there is some benefit for me, in that I am no different than a molecule of water or a banana or an orangutan.  We all are running the same software, just at differing degrees of complexity.
So if I give food to a starving person, and you tell me I did it just to make myself feel better, well it’s true, but someone else was concerned with getting home to feed her child didn’t notice the starving person and the soccer player who was playing soccer all day didn’t see the starving person, so we are in a very large and intricate web of forces.  It is good to think about it, but we have no use to waste time calling this or that selfish, it is a law of nature, just like rain and sunshine.
All of the inanimate, vegetative and animate desires in us are running this software without our permission, they just do.
According to our society we decide what is called “good” or “bad” and that can change from society to society and from generation to generation.

Now, here, we are discovering where is the human part, the spiritual part, the part where we can be free and fulfilled.  In spirituality, “good” is called that I have an intention to bestow and “bad” is called that I have an intention to receive for myself.  However we already said that in the previous 3 degrees that is my natural software running, so it’s not considered bad spiritually, that is how nature, the Creator made me.  So now I need to find where is the spiritual action?
This takes time, that is what we will be working on as we progress together, where is that place where I can have the intention, what is that intention, how to I build it, upon what do I build it?
