Hi Jehoseph,
We are made of the still degree, vegetative degree and animate degree.
This is called our necessity and it is not praised nor condemned. We don’t speak of ego in relation to our desire for food, sex, money, etc.
Ego is when we want something at the expense of another.
Beyond what I need as a creature in nature, I need a house, maybe even air conditioning, food in the refrigerator, family, etc.
Ego is when on the human degree, above the animate degree, I want on the back of another, I want at the other’s expense.
That is the ego that we will be working with and correcting from in order to receive to in order to bestow.
The Creator manages all of nature including our desires and He gave us this excessive will to receive and it is in order that we will make a correction on it so that we will be able to receive His abundance, in vessels of bestowal.
We need to come to that through our efforts and we don’t enjoy something without a lack and the more the lack, the more we enjoy from the fulfillment. Thus you see how humanity arrived at its current state.
Seth@KabUMelinda,
I take the will to receive that is revealed in me and transfer it to bestowal. That is called to make a mitzvah.We will discover these desires thus we need to perform 620 commandments, it’s not something with hands and legs, it is only within the desire, it is mainly to correct the heart of man, meaning the desires of man.
These 620 corrections which are 613 plus 7 Mitzvot of our sages. The 613 Mitzvot connect within them into 248 and 365, and these comprise the structure of the soul. The soul itself consists of ten parts, ten Sephirot, or Ten Commandments.
Rabash writes like this, “There are 613 Mitzvot, and in each Mitzva a light of a unique degree is deposited, which corresponds to a unique organ in the 613 organs and tendons of the souls and the body. It follows that while performing the Mitzva, one extends to the corresponding organ in his soul and body, the degree of light that belongs to that organ and tendon.”Seth@KabU
Melinda,
With spiritual vessels we will discover these as spiritual desires which we correct (the light corrects) from in order to receive to in order to bestow.
Seth@KabUAlicia,
We have an important concept called, as light excels from darkness.
The Creator created a will to receive that in the meantime only feels itself as a desire to receive.
Forbidden, impossible, it’s like putting a steak before a baby. Not only does the baby not relate at all to what is before him, but he doesn’t even have teeth or a digestive system to eat it and absorb it, his system is not yet prepared. That’s a baby, but what about a fetus, you can’t give a fetus a steak and even the seed and egg.
And towards spirituality we are not even implanted in the womb yet, this first zero state is the beginning of our switch from reception towards bestowal.
At first we don’t have any way to attain the light, but as light excels… we can accostom ourselves from our state of reception to feel what is it not to receive that is already something.
However, here too there is a discernment, there is ‘to receive’ which we cannot prevent, as the Creator made a desire to receive, but there is also the intention to receive. On this intention we will do all of our spiritual work.
To answer your question, we need to go through a process of being:
receivers in order to receive
bestow in order to receive
bestow in order to bestow
receive in order to bestow
We will learn together,
Seth@KabUPhilip,
Go from week to week. Try on what you are learning. See if it is true for you. Don’t believe anything, but from week to week make serious efforts in the material, work with it, rewrite it for yourself in a clear way as if you were going to one day teach it. Advance like this from week to week. Keep good notes, write down all of your questions. Go back to them after a month and after another month and see how things start to come into focus.
We are here to give you tools to discover all of this yourself.
Seth@KabUBen,
That is what we are here to learn.
First things first we need to understand who we are (100% will to receive), and if we are going to change, we need to not only understand, but to feel it and not only to feel it, but to start to feel how opposite we are from the Creator (100% bestowal) and how much we feel that we will never achieve equivalence with Him from our own powers since we cannot lift a finger unless we feel we will receive some reward, even just to feel better than I did before I moved the finger. So we require new feelings, we need to feel the greatness of the Creator so that we have power to go after Him.
We will learn all of this. Step by step so that you acquire it with your own hands.
