Hey Mary,

Jus the opposite actually. Anything in the spiritual world has a branch in the world. The upper world is the world of cause. No action in “this world” can influence the root.

The change in perception is coming to understand what the correct attitude towards this is and where you find your choice in this whole system. We ultimately have a choice somewhere and that point is exactly where we feel the true “I”.

Thanks!

Hey mrc,

It would be more accurate to say, the more egositic we are the greater we can bestow.

Thanks!

Hey Sarah,

I think this is pretty normal while beginning the path. There will always be a tendency from the ego to profit in all engagements, so this certainly sounds natural. There’s no “ignoring” this world, but it does kind of take a “back seat” to the spiritual goal. That transition also becomes something natural as you progress. You will always need to add importance to the spiritual goal otherwise this world will rise in importance and it will be confusing.

It’s all a matter of importance – you either want this world or you want the spiritual world. The spiritual is 100% opposite to this world. Here you have “in order to receive” and spirituality is “in order to bestow”. You can’t want success in this world and success in the next, but success in the next world paints a completely different picture for you to look when you see the world around you. Your values change and therefore you wants and needs change. It’s hard because we want to hold onto this world, the things we understand and know and we seemingly need to forget about that. The transition isn’t to try and “forget about them” it just happens in a natural process when spirituality becomes more important to you.

You’ll receive the tools here for how to navigate this and the expertise will come with time. You’ll need patience and you’ll need experience. Keep moving forward and you’ll be able to answer this question yourself, I promise.

Best of luck,

Chris

Hey David,

Interesting question. The Kabbalists didn’t hint at that, but who knows what lies ahead after the final correction!

Hey mrc,

If you’re talking about the qualities of the Creator – it depends on the one who perceives them and it could be both. Just different angles of the same shape.  A parent isn’t just a “parent” – it’s also guardian, provider etc.

Hey mrc,

Not really sure how to answer that. It’s not really either….if you want more of a Kabbalistic explanation and not just a Hebrew translation, it would have a couple of meanings. One being someone who can overcome –  has the strength to overcome “Gever” which is “man”. It’s also one of the ten Sefirot which its quality is similar to that but there are many nuances and other things to extract from there which aren’t really worthwhile getting into.
