Definition: The difference between Behinot and Sefirot

What is previous to Behina Dalet (the fourth aspect) is called Behinot (aspects), and what is inside Behina Dalet is called Sefirot. The difference is great. Because whatever is prior to Behina Dalet, is not yet grasped within the emanation as its components, the components of its nature, from which it is built, but is regarded as the attributes of the Emanator that come and build it. Whereas, the aspects 0,1,2,3,4 (Shoresh, Aleph, Bet, Gimel, Dalet), which are already included in Behina Dalet, they are the Sefirot, they are what shines in the emanation as the animating force, the force of life, as forces coming from the Emanator to the emanation and building it.

Definition: There are two forces always present in the Masach (screen):

There are two forces always present in the Masach (screen):
The first is Kashiut (hardness), the force of resistance to receiving Upper Light;

The second is Aviut (coarseness), the force of Behina Dalet’s 'desire to receive'. Because of Zivug de Aka'a (a Stroke Contact) of Kashiut with the Light, Aviut turns into Zakut (purity)m namely, reception turns into bestowal.

(Preface to the Wisdom of the Kabbalah, Item 18)

We have arrived at the time of actualization, so let us actualize what the Kabbalists wrote!

Advice from the morning lesson

Whatever is revealed, you must use it, obtain its benefit.

Definition: The beginning

The world is renewed and is not ancient , and decidedly it has an end and a goal, in the manner of :

”the end of the deed is in the forethought.”

For there is nothing that acts without a goal. And we thereby get the definite law that everything that has a beginning has an end and a goal and all that has no end and a goal has no beginning.

Definition: Ohr Pashut (Simple Light):

An Ohr that that is mingled with the Kli to the point of indiscriminating the Ohr from the Kli.

TES, Part 1, Table of Questions for the Meaning of Words

Let’s reveal through the books of the Kabbalists to the entire world that the Simple Light fills the entire reality—the Light of pleasure, perfection and eternity!

“Behold, that before the emanations were emanated and the creatures were created, The upper simple light had filled the whole existence…”

(from the book of ARI The Tree of Life.)

Advice from the morning lesson:

I express myself by nullifying myself for the sake of the friends. By this I manifest my relation to the Creator.

To the extent that a person unites with his friends, so he attains the connection to the Upper Force.

We must not forget that the Torah, the force that redeems man from all misfortunes, can only be received if it is demanded together, to change for the better, "as one man with one heart". The Torah has already been given, but we can receive it only if we unite with a common aim - to discover the Creator.

Kabbalah’s role in creating a new planetary consciousness:

An interview with Rav Michael Laitman, PhD

by Tal Asher, PhD

Asher: We can say that the technological progress during the last few centuries was a great stimulus for human egoism to develop…

Laitman: Just the opposite! Egoism is the cause that stimulates everything else. It grows literally exponentially. This is why we see that great changes happened throughout millennia, then centuries, and in our times great changes are happening every year. That is, egoism is beginning to increase so steeply that people today already change their professions in two or three years. A person has to constantly study. Great changes are happening in everything. We are still not accustomed to this, but life is already moving according to what is inside us. That is, our mind and perception are slightly lagging behind what is there, what nature brings forth in us and outside of us. We are between these two influences, the inner and outer natural influences, and we feel uncomfortable.

Asher: Would it be correct to say that this exponential growth of egoism is exactly the reason why Kabbalah has become so popular?

Laitman: Yes. The Book of Zohar, which was written two thousand years ago, states that Kabbalah will be revealed to people toward the end of the twentieth century. It has been hiding from people for twenty centuries. more

My Brother, My Sister

Hello Friends,

I was speaking with Gil over lunch the other day and we decided to start writing a song together, a song that had universal appeal; one we could use for Kabbalah without it having an official Kabbalah stamp on it.

As you all know BB is strongly focused on introducing the concept of altruism to humanity, to help us recognise our need for authentic Kabbalah.

Please, have a look at what we've written so far, and add any suggestions you like. This is an open forum...all idea's are 'welcome'.

Let's see if we can create a song for BB...

Gil mentioned we've got a melody man that can add music to it as well, could be interesting :)

Please Note: This is only a first (make that second) draft, feel free to make any changes you'd like, if you'd like too. Have some fun with it...I'll keep an eye on the user comments and suggestions.

Here it is:

Mr Brother, My Sister

As the nights become longer,
My feelings grow sombre.
Wondering why I’m here,
Wishing the answers were
Clear. Listen…do you hear?
Why are these deepening

Questions ringing in my
Ear?

What is the purpose of life?
Why am I here?
This thirst is drawing me
Near; the answers are
Beginning to appear...

Never satisfied, a puppet
To these insatiable desires
Dwelling inside. But now
Just tired; tired of trying to
Beat the next man to his feet,
Tired of chasing temporary
Desires that simply seem to
Fleet.

What is the purpose of life?
Why am I here?
This thirst is drawing me
Near; the answers are
Beginning to appear...

As these fleeting desires
Keep coming, I keep
Running (at their mercy),
Till I suddenly realise - I’m
Not worthy. So I stop to give
To my brother, my sister;
Only to discover an eternal
Pleasure like no other.

What is the purpose of life?
Why am I here?
This thirst is drawing me
Near; the answers are
Beginning to appear...

When I give to you,
I feel closer to the truth.
The greatest gift is found
In giving. I want for you,
You want for me - feel our
Hearts continue to expand,

as we unite hand in

Hand...

What is the purpose of life?
Why am I here?
This thirst is drawing me
Near; the answers are
Beginning to appear...

Advice from the morning lesson

To always be directed, drawn to bestow to the society, to resemble the Creator.

To feel my desire only in order to serve a fellow man.

Advice from the morning lesson:

We have to show good relationships, even if it is not exactly so. Start playing love of friends.

Aspire Higher

"a prayer, even if does not emanate from the depths of one's heart, still prepares the individual for salvation. In a prayer a person promises the Creator that after he receives spiritual strength he will concentrate all his efforts on returning the spiritual aspirations that are lacking at the present moment. In this lies the great power of the prayer. A plea of this kind is accepted by the Creator, and as a result a person advances by the path of the Kabbalah, rather than by the path of suffering.

For this reason, a person should never agree to the path of suffering, even if he is certain that the sufferings are being sent by the Creator; and even if he firmly believes that everything that is sent by the Creator is sent for his benefit. The Creator does not desire a person to passively accept suffering. On the contrary, He expects an individual to prevent suffering, to avoid the condition in which the Creator must push a person from behind by sufferings, to strive by himself by means of faith, that it is for his benefit to ask of the Creator this advance forward.

Even if one feels that he does not yet possess a true desire in himself to attain the right state, one should still ask the Creator to grant the true desire and faith through the power of prayer. That is, one should ask the Creator to give him a desire to ask, which he lacks."
