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.
