is it fair to say that since we are locked within this calculation of pleasure and pain, our only free will lies in choosing what triggers our pleasures? turn “will to receive” to “will to bestow” . At first we may not find pleasure in bestowing because we are wired to pursue receiving but we can “fake it until make it”?
in addition. from the video and also some books I read that only the 4th factor we have some room of freedom. but in the interactive material, 2nd image, it seems to state factor #3 as Rav/group/books etc. is it possible the designed of the graphic put the description at the wrong factor? please check, otherwise it’s very confusing.
under “check for understanding” , 2nd question asks:
The essence of creation is: A. Light B. desire to receive
the correct answer is Light.
however here in related materials “The Science of Kabbalah”
pages 87-90 , it says : “It turns out that the “desire to receive” is the essence of the creation”
which is correct or both? if both then this quiz shouldn’t exist?
I really appreciate this thoughtful answer. about studying, I am in the middle of Kabbalah reviewed 2 and I also started this course. I also bought the books set for Zohar and revealed 2 books. there are many other courses under VOD. I can’t study and absorb everything over time, do you have any recommendation on the orders of the courses and books I should go through?
thanks
Helen
