Niklas,
I can relate to you 🙂
“Just tell me the answer already!”
You know how long it took for matter to develop until it became a plant and until it organized through heat and ice pressure and time until animals walked on Earth. And how many hundreds of thousands of years until we changed from monkeys to humans. And the change from animal to spiritual man is the next jump: Inanimate -> Vegetative -> Animal -> Speaking (spiritual man)
And there are intermediate stages between each of those four. We are in the intermediate stage between animal and speaking.
You can read all of the material 24 hours a day and nevertheless, these things need to live in you. If bestowal were revealed to you now, it would feel like death, it is opposite from us and our egos would feel so repulsed from it, they would run for their lives, so the light works on us methodically.
I cannot stress enough how important it is to work with the materials you are given from week to week.
You want to build a big house and you want to rush through the building the foundation and installing the plumbing, you want to go right to putting the furniture in and moving in.
Build the foundation, you will see how much everything that comes later is built on this.
Your list is good. You know what Einstein said about relativity, a minute sitting on a stove feels like an hour and a minute sitting with a pretty woman feels like a second (something like that). So relativity is clear, right? Well, sort of. If you went into the classroom with Einstein and started to learn about relativity, so that it lives inside of you, you would see how many nuances and flavors and understandings are in there until the whole world that you perceive starts to take on a new form.
Seth@KabUNiklas,
If you didn’t have this feeling, where would you be?
That is hunger, that is desire, that is what draws us, calls us out of the depth of the mire.
Imagine that the Zohar and the wisdom of kabbalah, the treasure for all humanity to receive all the abundance the Creator has prepared for everyone is sitting there on the table, warm, tasty, ready and we are all crawling around like pigs and dogs on the floor taking pleasure in things we already determined are worthless.
But somehow we get a new hunger to stand up and come to the feast. This happened to all of us here. Â
Without this hunger we wouldn’t even know that there is such a thing as the feast set before us.
The more hungry we are, the more we will enjoy the meal.
Keep the fire burning!
Seth@KabUn,
You can open up the Bible and read about them, you can open up The Study of the Ten Sefirot and read them.
But that would be like opening up the manual to a rocket ship. The words are in front of me, but that’s about all.
We are learning here to change our inner perception of the world and then we discover where these are inside of us. There was a dark room and a light shines 1% and I see something I can correct. Then the light shines and I can see 2% and see what I can correct, but there is no reason to even speak like this now, as it is way ahead of us. First we need to orient ourselves. Who are we, where are we, what forces are working on us?
But you will start to study the wisdom of kabbalah and then you will understand everything. “In the Beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” and you will understand this is the force of bestowal (+) and the force of reception (-).
Little bit of patience…
Seth@KabURune,
This article is written by Baal HaSulam, we received our entire method from him. He is a giant kabbalist.
There are no words to describe him.
The answer to your question lies in the perception of reality of the author and our perception of reality.
The kabbalist is describing the same world but according to his perception. Imagine if you have a dog and you are telling your dog about your dinner. How you can taste the wine reduction sauce, you can feel how the chef seared the meat before putting in the stew, you can taste the bitters and the sweet potato. And you give some to your dog and of course, he perceives the world through his nose first of all and then he slurps it up quickly and looks at you. How would he describe this stew?
So how long would it take to develop this dog until he could feel the intention in this stew like you do?! How much time and attention to each detail and flavor and combination of flavors.
Well at least we are humans and not dogs, so already we made some progress. But we read and we perceive what we read according to our vessels, which in the meantime are 100% reception. What we see as our corporeal reality is based on our egoistic vessels. Everything in this world is a branch.
The kabbalist is speaking from the level of the roots.
Seth@KabUKyler,
When a person advances, and spiritual light shines, a sign that he is advancing is that he sees his own nature more and more. Meaning how distant he is from bestowal.
He sees from day to day how he is becoming worse and he doesn’t see an end to it, he doesn’t see that he is advancing.
Calm down. Search in the writings, it takes time, but all of these states are written about a lot in the articles of RABASH.
This distancing is not distancing. Now you are seeing the truth, our true nature which is a will to receive. This was always our nature, the thing is that now you see it a little bit. Upon this that the Creator reveals comes the reforming light to correct it. About this Baal HaSulam wrote, you shall place your eyes on them and they will turn into a pile of bones.
Make a simple framework for yourself of when you read the material, when you have your KabU lessons. Hold onto the framework through all of the ups and down and you will start to feel how day to day you are advancing.
