a) Are spiritual shame and the revelation of evil the same thing? Are they each the awareness of my completely egoistic nature in Malchut and the grief it engenders in me because I am completely opposite the Creator, and no matter what I try to do, cannot (by design) bestow?
b) Is faith above reason the goal that allows me to transcend (not eliminate) spiritual shame and/or the revelation of evil? And does this transcendence occur when I surrender to the Light, to the endless pleasures in the Kings’ Palace, to the Creator’s intention for creation? If so, does surrendering mean I want to be like the Creator so much that I am willing to override every bit of my ego by treating my neighbor’s desires as more important than my own? Is this how the Creator’s endless pleasures flow through me to others and give the Creator contentment? Is this how I become a zero?
Again, thank you in advance for your kindness in answering these questions.
I am a bit fuzzy about the idea of “controlling the Creator,” as stated in the + arrow info for Malchut in your drawing. I cannot recall having heard of this additional desire before, so can you help me with what “controlling the Creator” means?
Thanking you in advance for your always excellent assistance.
What brings me here is the need to connect more fully with the parts of the soul in this grad environment, as well as in my Ten and my other classes.
Thanking you in advance for your tireless instruction and dedication to the work, Gianni. And thanking you, friends, for being on this journey together.
