And When it Rose – Part 3

This week of the ‘And When it Rose’ series began with a re-cap of the study. 

We are moving in 2 directions at the same time. We are studying the will of the Creator to do goodness to the createes, and its expansion and concealment. And, the other movement from below – the state we are in, how we climb the ladder.

It starts with a recognition, and a truth opposition, that without a mediation there can’t be a connection between the Creator and create as they are opposite. In terms of their nature – one is bestowal and one is to receive, so the sense of what we are calling a screen – the intention, the mouth…this is where this connection can be uttered, is the media and condition in which they can unite.

From below, one of the condition is a gather of intention – they can’t check it, but what is inside the ecology state – for what are we gathering. It isn’t a gather, not even for a regular study of Torah. It isn’t a gathering of self improvement. It has the condition that builds it, forms it, knowing that we wish to serve something. That serving is called Adam – the wish to be like the Creator…not in terms of power, but in terms of qualities. The main quality is what we call bestowal. We know nothing about it, even if we have an inclination of giving…its not above our nature. It is still within the will to receive.
It is knowing we don’t want to stay an automatic receptive machines, and we will use a specific knowledge – kabbalah – teaching us how to read Torah.

It starts from a completely different attitude, and angel of approach, and need the 3 aspects to reform it: Books (text of revelation), Group of intention, and Guide/Teacher.
Therefore, the teacher becomes the mouth, the screen – that which can gather the changing screen together.
