  • Eva,
    If I go to see a concert, I can be impressed by the band.  But if I’m a business man, maybe I’m counting seats multiplied by the number of dollars per ticket multiplied by the cost of t-shirts and thinking of if this is a good business to go into.
    If I’m the guy selling hot dogs I’m thinking how many hot dogs can I sell.
    So we are “in” the environment, but in what way am I influenced.  And to what degree have I placed myself in the environment.
    I can be the usher showing people to their seats and I’m in the concert hall every night but I don’t have an emotional experience.
    Where are you?  How are have you planted yourself in the spiritual environment?  What is the goal you hope to achieve by being in this environment?
    These questions are for you to ask yourself.  You are an artist in the spiritual realm.  A slogan such as “let the environment influence you” is a slogan, but what does it mean, what are the nuances, where is the investment of inner power?  Think about it.  Work on it.
    You’ll see how it works from your own experience.

    Andrea,
    Here is a great book by a wonderful friend and long time student of our teacher the kabbalist Rav Laitman.
    This book will reveal many of the secrets of the Bible for you.

    Elvis,
    As we learn, there is no light without a kli.  It means that although all of reality is right now permeated with the highest spiritual lights, we don’t feel it at all because we don’t have a kli, a vessel for it.
    You and your cat go to the opera.  The opera hall is filled with beautiful music but the cat has no kli for it, he doesn’t understand romance and nuance and vocal performance and the costumes and the theatre.  He has no kli and so he does not receive in his kli any of the sensation of the “light”.
    In short, we acquire the sixth sense by developing the kli for it.
    To do that, one needs an environment that constantly develops that desire in him because unlike our desires for food, sex, money, honor, power, knowledge, etc. the spiritual desire requires an awakening from below, it does not renew on its own like the corporeal desires.

    David,
    We are a developing desire that due to the degree of our desire we only perceive reality as corporeal.
    As that desire develops and it cannot be fulfilled by corporeal fillings…it needs food, it needs all the corporeal fillings, just like an animal, but these things don’t fulfill him, like they do fulfill an animal, then this person starts to develop his spiritual desire.

    Inside of all of us is a tiny black point, it is called the point in the heart, it is like the single sperm that will later be a person, this is the single seed that will grow to be our soul.  It grows by the desire for spirituality growing.
    This requires time, a method, books that contain the reforming light that transforms the desire.

    Adebiyi,
    We will learn the structure of the Upper Worlds later in a systematic way and this will be much more understandable.
    in the meantime, know that after the World of Infinity (ein sof), there are 5 spiritual worlds.  All of those spiritual worlds take place take place above time and space.
    The first of those five spiritual world is the root of all of the spiritual worlds. It is called Adam Kadmon (primordial man), although it is not talking at all about a creature, it is the upper structure that all of the subsequent creation will take.

    As the light cascades down through those spiritual worlds a structure is built whereby the creatures can bring the upper light into their vessels.  The upper light clothed in the vessels is called the soul, that structure is called Adam HaRishon, it is filled with the lights of Nefesh, Ruach, Neshama, Haya and Yechida.

    Norman,
    The purpose of creation is to create a creature and fill it with endless delight.
    This single thought alone sets all of reality, all of creation into motion from one end to the other.  In the process of the development of the kli (the vessel) that will hold, that will feel all of that delight, the kli comes to a state where it is 100% to receive.  The Creator is 100% bestowing delight and the kli, the vessel is 100% opposite.
    Now the kli was made, but there is a problem, it is as far from the Creator as possible, totally opposite.
    This causes another set of operations.  How can the kli bridge this endless gap between her and the Creator?
    We will learn all of this in great detail later, but in short, she has to receive, she is a desire to receive, that is what the Creator made and to fulfill creation she needs to receive everything that He is bestowing, but instead of receiving for herself, she develops an intention (kavana) that she will only receive because she wants the Creator to be happy, she receives for the sake of all of creation (love of others), not for herself (self love).  Little by little she corrects her intention until all of reality is included in this corrected vessel and the light of the Creator is clothed in all of reality in actuality.  This is called the end of correction.
