Hi Gianni, I have got a question about how to deal with the contrast of the abundance of light in spirituality, versus that darkness of corporeality. I am truly just a beginner, but I feel this contrast to be increasing so rapidly. How can I prepare myself to deal with this contrast? I feel the more light surrounds me, the harder it becomes to deal with the darkness … like when you are in a dark room, you can still see some shadowy shapes as your eyes adapt to the darkness. But with the contrast of light, the darkness appears even darker, the lack of light becomes tangible. Now, this would be easy if it was in equivalent measure, but it is so opposite the way life is designed.While Kabbalah shows all the light, the true internal reality, all happens technically in a virtual surrounding. As with corporeality, it is the other way round… it is giving such a limited and blurred version of existence, an illusion, but it is what surrounds me every day, what is tangible and perceivable with the 5 senses. How can I overcome this state of tension, and painful realisation of how contrasted spirituality versus corporeality are, while stile giving the needed credit to both?
Hi Gianni,
Now, I have made this experiment of trying to be in the morning lesson for a week which is right in the night being in the CETtimezone. It was not do much a real experiment, I just felt the urge to be there. Still, I felt it made a huge internal difference, for each morning when I woke up after sleeping a few more hours, I felt this connection differently, but each time like there was just this other layer of existence I felt.. After one night it felt like being just immersed in an ocean of connection. After another night it just felt like a kind of shelter. I just observed it, and it even covered the effects of sleep deprivation to some degree. Now, today, I was probably too tired and simply didn’t hear the alarm clock. And when I woke up, this extra layer was simply not there. I don’t think it’s self-suggestion. I just observe it, and feel it’s different today. And interestingly, I didn’t even take much content from the morning lesson… I felt I was too tired to remember a lot. Still , it made such a profound difference. Different to the classes. And different to the ten, which is amazing in itself. Before I am changing all my routines… I wonder, can it be that the effect of this connection can be such at all?
Hi Gianni, I have been wondering how we perceive the material we are reading. It seems like the revelation of the importance is not so much in the mind, but even that happens between us, in the ten. Or at least, when reading alone in the heart. Can it be like that?
Now, when a Kabbalist or a advanced student of Kabbalah is reading texts like in the Zohar, is it that the „sixth sense“, like that „Kabbalistic perception“ he is reading the words with, that gives meaning to them? To me reading this book is amazing, but of course, being just a beginner, it is like reading GPS coordinates, but not knowing what a GPS is. Itś a bit like pretending to read- I dońt mind, really, but I am wondering if that is how it works? So, all the descriptions about the upper worlds and its mechanisms need to be perceived with these other senses to make real sense , to navigate us through the unknown? And then, is it easier to read among the ten, because through that unity, that center of connection, these senses are become clearer. Or does this not matter? Does any of this make sense or is it a completely different mechanism that we need to develop?
Thank you so much, Gianni. Then, does that mean, there is some reason in living in those meatsuits after all? So, it is not without purpose, it just doesńt really matter how the body/mind/heart trias has been assembled?
Hi Gianni, since you mentioned that analogy with the “meat suit” I kept wondering and wondering, how I can integrate that picture, while looking at all the pain people go through, I am wondering if truly nothing in this pain people experience has a purpose. And then, why it nontheless has to be. I get why it is called the path of suffering. But I don’t understand why it has to be like that, if it does not even have any relevance for our development… or maybe just a minimum , for even the path of suffering still is a path of development. I suppose this question has been asked a million times before… but how can I be true with that? I could pretend not to feel any pain or become negligent towards the struggles people tell me about, thinking, this is just the meat suits going through it, and once I am dead, I won’t remember anyways… my brain will be gone and so will the pain. But it doesn’t work like that… this illusion we are caught in, seems too real to pretend, it seems. I have tried to just split it… two different things… corporeal versus spiritual… but the question remains … how to deal with the pains of the meat suits, physically and emotionally, correctly?
Thank you so much, Gianni, for your answers, and this beautiful clip, this is so helpful! I feel so much has clarified, just it opened up one last question…I am wondering if a Kabbalistic song can actually come from one single individual (if yes, probably only someone who really feels that connection from deep within) , or if essentially it is carried by what would be felt in the center of a ten, carried by the love that resides in the connection and nullification of the many? Expressed differently, does the song “get” its power through the intention with which it is played or listened to, or does it “have” a power (I don’t know if power is the right word… but even though there were all the doubts about the purpose of songs expressed in the clip, I feel , the Kabbalistic songs to be like a power plant for connection). And finally, I wonder if the words used in a song can actually express the ‘inner moo’ or will rather hinder us from getting there, as the mind will relate them to memories from corporeal life… thus, can we listen to these thongs innocently like children (which is what I do most of the time), or do we have to form our intention first?
