  • David,
    Pray for everything.  Speak to the Creator about everything and also tell Him that you want to pray more and more for Him, for the others and not just for the sake of my own ego.  But anyway, ask for everything.
    You see how it is with our own kids, when they are young they ask for toys, when they get older they ask for a car, the desires develop naturally.  Same with us.  The main thing is that we are connected to the Creator as much as we can.  And then we try more and more to ask not for the sake of our egos, but this takes time and is nuanced and in fact is impossible since He Himself created us as egoistic.
    So when we pray, we examine why am I praying and then we see that at the end we can’t escape from self interest and this leads to the true prayer that He will give us a second nature.
    Keep going David. Pray for her, pray for your family, pray for everyone and ask Him to make our prayers true.

    Yusbel,
    For now we are learning the laws of the upper world, how our reality is governed and conducted, what are the forces operating on us from there we will learn how that relates to our world.
    For example, and this is just an example: one approach would be to create a lot of laws in this world to get people to do the right thing.  Another approach is to raise people to treat others well and to have hearts full of love and then whatever situation people get into, they will act correctly, you don’t need to create endless laws in this world to modify behavior because people are inclined to act for the good of others.
    Similarly when we learn who we are, what are the forces operating on us, how they relate to each other, etc, then what to do with our hands and feet is not the main concern, because the heart is correct.

    Susan,
    Everything in this world is built from the upper structure.
    Here is an excerpt from one of Baal HaSulam’s introductions that we will study later on together,
    “Yet, this extension from Ein Sof in Partzuf AK does not fill the whole of reality as prior to the restriction. Rather, it is discerned with a Rosh and a Sof [end]: From above downward, its light stops at the point of this world, which is the concluding Malchut, as in the verse, “His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives.” And also from within outward, since as there are ten Sefirot KHB TM from above downward, and Malchut concludes the AK from below, so there are ten Sefirot KHB TM from within outward, called marrow, bones, tendons, flesh, and skin [Mocha, Atzamot, Gidin, Bassar, and Or]. The skin is Malchut, which ends the Partzuf from the outside. In that respect, Partzuf AK is considered a mere thin line compared to Ein Sof, which fills the whole of reality. This is so because the Partzuf of skin ends it and limits it from all sides, from the outside, and it cannot expand and fill the entire restricted space. Thus, only a thin line remains standing in the middle of the space.”

    Enrique,
    Now, we are studying about the laws of nature.
    Later we will work together with other students to work on making these bestowing actions between us together.

    Terry,
    The belly is only so big, the hands can only hold so much.  To receive something eternal we need an eternal vessel, not a material vessel.
