Helen,
We’re not reffering to what you calling the animal soul, meaning the life force that is in us, that animates us and when it departs, we are no longer living, we rot in the ground.
We are learning about the spiritual vessels filled with spiritual light whereby we perceive a spiritual reality.
The point in the heart is the “sperm” of the future spiritual creature.
Here’s a blog post by Rav Laitman https://kabbalahmedia.info/en/publications/blog/laitman-com/70840
Seth@KabUHelen,
In our world, I have to move my body next to yours to be close to you and if I fly away, then I’m far.
In spirituality, when things are similar in quality they are close and dissimilar in quality and they are far.
If things in spirituality are so close in quality, then they become one, adhered to one another.
The quality of the Creator is bestowal.
We will remain a receiver, but with an additional force that is added from above, we will be able to receive, not to receive for ourselves, but to receive in order to bestow. It means that when if your 4 year old daughter brings you her finger painting, imagine if you pushed it away and said, “that is messy and not artistic, I don’t want it”. Or on the other hand you can receive it, but you are not receiving it for yourself, your receiving it from your daughter gives her pleasure that she was able to give to you. So it’s not about what we do with our hands, whether we are giving or receiving, but the state of our heart, your reception towards her became an act of love towards her.
Seth@KabURobert,
As you learn the laws of nature and you start working with others in your kabbalistic group, you start to discover places where you can increase in love. Let’s say for example you are in a group of 10 men and with one of them you see a place to increase love and with another one, just the sight of him annoys you, you can’t stand him, when he speaks you feel disgust, so let’s leave correcting that on the side for the time being and work with what we can for now. Later we will have more forces and more connection in the group and we will be able to move more and more to the side of holiness.
Seth@KabUNika,
It is not a scarf that we cover our eyes with and I feel bad, but I say, no it doesn’t matter what I see, I’m calling it good.
We do start to learn that everything coming from Him is good, but I feel bad, so in between Him and me, what is going on and here is the place of our spiritual work. The revelation of the distance between Him and me, because if I felt Him, surely I would feel only good. It is like a marathon champion, even when he is at mile 20 and all his muscles and his lungs burn, he enjoys.
But if I was on mile 20 and my muscles and lungs burned, I would not enjoy that at all.
Seth@KabURade,
At this point in the story, Malchut is going through a transformation.
She (by the way, there is no he or she or any “creation” to really speak of yet, this is the primordial blueprint of creation and everything that will follow) feel that there is some bestowing force that is all good and she herself has been made as a receiving vessel, and while she must receive, the act of reception separates her from the Creator. He is 100% bestowal and she is 100% reception. And in spirituality closeness and distance are measured by quality. If the quality is the same they are close, if the quality is different they are far. If the qualities are as opposite as can be then they are as far apart…they are infinitely far apart. She wants to bridge this gap so she now seeks to discover how to be like that initial thought to bestow.
