  • Camila,
    Spirituality is specifically felt in spiritual senses.
    Our 5 senses are corporeal senses.
    We’ll see how all of reality, even our corporeal reality rises to spirituality, but for example music is heard in the ear and food is tasted in the mouth.  Spiritual light is felt in spiritual vessels.

    Asher,
    If a person is religious, we leave them alone.  Anyone is free to pray 5 times a day or 3 times a day, to cover their head with whatever they want.
    We here are studying the wisdom of kabbalah in an unbroken chain that came to us through Baal HaSulam.
    We are not studying corporeal “mitzvot” we are studying spiritual actions, the correction of the parts of the shattered vessel of Adam HaRishon, those actions are called mitzvot.  Through engaging in the wisdom in such and such a way that we will slowly accostom ourselves to, we draw upon us lights, called Torah that correct the desires from in order to receive to in order to bestow, that is called performing a mitzvah.  I recommend that you reread and watch the lesson material again and try to absorb what we are studying and not what else you are bringing from other sources.
    You will advance in this wisdom more quickly and with less stumbling blocks.

    Bonnie,
    A person goes to the doctor because of something on the skin.  The doctor, who is an expert, who has seen 1000s of patients knows that what he is seeing is related to the liver.  So when we understand the system, the things that appear in front of eyes take on new meaning.
    As for us, and all of reality: inanimate, vegetative, animate and then the speaking degree, are all created as 100% a will to receive.  100% that’s it.  That is what the Creator made.  That is the movie screen that the 100% bestowing light will project upon.
    The structure that we are studying is not about some worlds up in the sky somewhere, this exact structure is you.  You contain everything but currently our vessels are egoistic vessels and can only receive a thin light that fell into the shells and we feel them as corporeal pleasures.
    We will learn how to correct the vessels to hold the upper light and feel the endless abundance.
    Like kids who have a toy oven with one or two knobs on it that don’t do anything, we start like that and then we learn more and more and the light effects us and we start to feel other “knobs”, more fine tuning until we are like an artist with a palate of 1000s of colors and knobs and switches and we learn how to calibrate ourselves so that the the upper light can dwell in our vessels and then everything will be healed.

    Hi Ludumo,
    Faith above reason means I have my reason.  Not only that, to have my reason means I put a lot of time and effort to understand what is happening.  I don’t disregard it.  I spent 20 years gathering concrete and water and steel and I built a building and I furnished it with chairs and tables and carpet.  I did everything, I invested all I had in this and then I discover that from all of this investment, on top of this building, there is somewhere else.

    Maybe a father goes to war and comes home and gets married and builds a building and then he has a son and everything he built, all of his effort and fighting and sleepless nights, now, he realizes that it’s all led to something else, there is someplace else, he didn’t know this before, but now, he sets everything aside and lays down on the floor with his baby and opens his heart to something else.

    That is an example, I’m trying to give a feeling of what is happening.
    Faith below reason means that I get an emotion, and I follow it, I didn’t invest and in something and then reach some new degree where I see that I must go above everything I am, everything I did and attain something wholly different and higher.

    Judit,
    Baal HaSulam, the great kabbalist whom we received this method from is very clear that Elokim (God) and HaTeva (Nature) are one and the same and he even uses the words interchangeably in places.   There was never a kabbalist who brought the wisdom so close to the people as Baal HaSulam.  So probably for good reason you didn’t believe in some fairy tale but felt that there is some governing force or something.
    First of all, we can agree that we don’t feel what is happening in our neighbor’s house, we don’t see it or hear it.  For sure we don’t know what is going on in another town or country or in the ocean with all the fish and turtles or in the trees with all the birds.  Certainly not on Mars or on any of the billions of billions of stars.  We perceive a little sliver of reality, whatever passes in front of our eyes or our nose, so we take in reality and really most of reality exists outside of me, past my skin.
    Now that we got that under control, by what am I judging something as good or bad?
    By how it makes me feel, of course.
    Who am I?
    I contain all of reality, of course, but I don’t feel that yet.  In the meantime I feel only what my will to receive feels.
    So we are learning the wisdom of kabbalah (reception), how to receive in vessels of bestowal and then we will feel all of reality more and more and feel how all the pluses and all of the minuses together, above them in that state of unity, all is one all is good, all is pleasant, all is eternal.
