Just adding to my previous question, because it is really confusing me a bit… I always thought that the mind is so limited it naturally creates separation, and that the ego uses our mind giving us distraction, doubts and all that. But in Art 184 it says that faith is related to separation, because it is related to corporeality. Does that refer to the fact that faith is something we feel in our bodies as sensations or states, and as states in a human beings come and go, so does faith? And does that mean it is impossible to have persistent faith?
Hi Gianni, I just came across Shamati 184, about faith and mind. Actually itś funny, because I thought a lot about how to keep faith. But from what I read, it sounded like by nature, keeping faith persistently, is impossible. So this quite striked me, and some questions came up:
1. How comes faith is related to corporeality, and the mind to spirituality and not the other way round?
2. Is this why we get moved through ascends and descends all the time… because faith is naturally non-persistent?
3. Does that mean if we aim at faith above reason, itś by nature, that we will have to rebuild this again and again?
4. With respect to the definition of faith and mind in this article, how comes we aim at faith above reason and not the other way round?
It says there are five partzufim, AA, AVI, and ZON. Why are Aba and Ima paired, as well as Zair Anpin and Nukva? Do I get it right, that this is „Father and Mother“ (AVI) and „son and daughter“ (ZON)? In how does this refer to their qualities? Is this about complementing each other?
Hi Gianni, I listened to the first part of the morning lesson, and we also read Shamati 34 in the ten. And I felt it was both about „faith“. How can we combat the fear of loosing faith ( especially in the face of knowing that horrible things are happening in corporeality?) Itś not about questioning the creator in being the good that does good, but about the fear of not being strong enough to maintain this perception, or even get back to it. The fear of loosing faith and getting completely lost. In Shamati 34 it says itś „double torment“. And that is exactly how it feels to me. But what is the remedy?
Hi Gianni, I have 2 questions about article 69, Shamati:
1. what is the Meaning of the “the coming of the Messiah” in Kabbalah?
2. The article refers to the link between internal correction versus external correction, for me there is a bit of a language, confusion, because in the German translation it sounds as if all the internal corrections need to be accomplished first, before any external correction could follow, whereas I understood from the English translation, the internal correction needs to come first, but bit by bit through the internal corrections the external worlds may change,too. This seems to be fundamentally different, because in the first way it would mean we have to wait for all the internal corrections to be made before anything can change in this world, where is in the second version I understand that each internal correction may also have an impact on the external worlds. But maybe I’m totally on the wrong track with both?
Hi Gianni, how can we work out how to deal with this momentum of having to flip back into corporeality with all the beastly rules and exploitation going on, after moments of connection and contemplation in the spiritual realm? I wish to be able to give the right credit to both, but especially after moments of connection, reading articles, that really change the inner states or perception, I feel this flip back into corporeality to be rough… like leaving a place of color and going back to a black/white place. With which inner preparations should we take this “ flip” and the possibly felt, inherent “loss” of connection / “colours”?
