Questions about Spiritual Work—253

Posted on September 10th, 2025

Question: All the actions that we study in TES, is that what I take and read from my higher degree, from the ten, from the group? And then all of this comes together?

Answer: All of this comes together within each person. Therefore, he must be attuned so that his Kelim feel the influence of the light upon him.

Question: How can we extract the force of bestowal from the light?

Answer: We must do what the Kabbalists advise us. Then each time we will surely receive the correct answers, what to do in order to draw closer to one another and to the light.

Question: We always speak of the Kli as the organ that feels the entrances and exits of the light. How does it sense it?

Answer: A Kli is the desire to receive. And to the extent that it draws the light into itself and enjoys it, to that extent it feels the light.

Basic Instinct

Posted on September 10th, 2025

Comment: Recently I checked what is currently popular on television. Almost everything is built on two parameters: sex and violence. The more naked the body, the better.

My Response: Naturally, a naked body distracts people from everything else, because this is our most important instinct, the so-called “basic instinct.”

Sex is the foundation of all pleasures, since it stems from our connection with the Creator, which in the corporeal world manifests in the form of the union of opposite sexes. This is the strongest attraction and the greatest distraction for a person from all other problems.

Sex always arouses a pleasant sensation, because its root comes from the Creator’s desire to give us the entrance of light into our desire, which is felt as sexual union. In Kabbalah, this is called coupling, “Zivug de haAka’a.”

And violence is something scandalous. I don’t think it particularly attracts a person. But in our time, it is necessary for the recognition of the nature of evil. Later on it will disappear.

The Main Prayer

Posted on September 10th, 2025

Question: Can the upper transfer His desire to the lower one?

Answer: This is exactly what He does, but only in response to our request: “Give us the right desires!” We pray only for desire, that my desire be like His, “make your desire similar to the desire of the Creator.”

I don’t need anything else from Him, only a new program for my behavior, what to do. I need to receive reason, strength, and knowledge from Him in order to be able to work correctly with my material.

Namely, to realize the depravity of the current program of my behavior because it is opposite to the one by which He acts, and ask it to replaced with one similar to Him. This means my correction in the likeness of the Creator.

Understand the Actions of the Light

Posted on September 10th, 2025

Question: It is said in TES: “The point of the desire felt it as a kind of indirect extension from His essence.” What is “indirect extension” within us?

Answer: Baal HaSulam means that we are still under the influence of the light even if we go through a contraction.

We must wait until the effects of the light’s manifestation accumulate within us. Each time it illuminates us, it gradually prepares us to understand its actions correctly.

Approach the Highest Degree

Posted on September 10th, 2025

Question: There is light and Kli. To what do the three stages preceding Malchut relate more—to the light or to the Kli?

Answer: I cannot answer you because I do not see the picture that you see. It is different for me.

The light is what comes from the highest degree to the lowest one. By performing certain actions at the lower degree, we begin to feel changes in the higher degree, which changes itself so as to be closer to us. In principle, this is all that we have to do.

A Branch is a Consequence of the Upper Root

Posted on September 10th, 2025

Question: What does Kabbalah mean by “branch“?

Answer: A branch is a consequence of the upper root. This includes our feelings and all corporeal objects. Everything that is in us is a branch from the Creator. It can be direct, or it can be inverse.

Question: What does the root control in relation to the branch?

Answer: Absolutely everything! The Creator controls us completely. If it even seems to us that there are actions that do not come from the Creator, it is only because we cannot imagine the overall picture of His control. Everything comes from Him either through direct influence or through reverse influence. But reverse influence depends on the qualities of a person.

Question: Does each person have their personal spiritual root?

Answer: Yes, each one has their own. This is what distinguishes us from one another. Everything else is only additions layered upon our spiritual root. We receive one upper light from the Creator, but in each of us it is interpreted, realized, and felt differently, depending on one’s personal root.
