Under Complete Restriction

Posted on November 24th, 2023

Question: Where in our world can we see the manifestation of the first and second restrictions? These are, as if, two basic laws that Kabbalists revealed in the spiritual world. So, should there be some consequence in our world?

Answer: The fact is that our world is under complete restriction. We can bestow to each other or receive from each other, but these are not the same bestowal and reception that we talk about in Kabbalah.

These are exchanges of a completely different type. If I give something to someone, then I automatically calculate the benefit for myself. Therefore, even though I give, I feel that I receive.

That is, in our world these two laws do not operate explicitly. We are below them. It turns out that we act instinctively, like animals.

Memories of Pleasures

Posted on November 24th, 2023

Comment: TANTA is a process when pleasures enter desires; when they exit it, they leave Reshimot, that is, memories of these pleasures.

My Response: The interaction of creation with the Creator is the interaction of the desire to receive with the upper light.

The light is inherently bestowing and desire is receiving. If the creation can make a restriction on its desire to receive and work in the same way as the light, with the desire to bestow (which means that it will still receive, but already for the sake of the Creator, with a different intention than initially), then it turns out that the Creator gives pleasure to creation in the form of the light, and creation, by receiving it, gives pleasure to the Creator.

Comment: In principle, Kabbalah explains the most natural processes that occur even in our body, in our world. How to receive pleasure, what memories remain from past pleasures and future pleasures, Kabbalah studies and describes all this.

My Response: The only problem is that we cannot reproduce them in ourselves quickly, as if by a textbook. We must work at this for a long time in order to begin to receive the force that would raise us above egoism, and we would be able to receive and bestow according to our own decisions.
