Daily Kabbalah Tip
Advice in the daily Kabbalah lesson is recommended, practical tasks for advancing spiritually
To Cling to
the Upper
How can I
know that I am in the right direction?
The mind and
the desire, the brain and the heart, need to work together, mutually, within an
understanding that I deliver the control to the brain and don't go after the
desire. I enter my mind to the AHP (Awzen, Hotem, Peh-ear, nose, mouth) of the Upper, to the group, and
cling to it. Only in this way can I rise above my desire and know that I am
going in the correct direction.

Other Gods
What are
other Gods in spirituality?
Man was
created in a state that it seems to him that there are other people and a big
world around him, i.e., his desire to receive, his ego. If he describes himself
as higher than the Creator, then he draws for himself, instead of the Creator,
other Gods. This means another force, not exactly the Creator but a copy of his
desire to receive which seems to him as God according to his uncorrected desire
and that is called other Gods. But all of this is expressed in his inner Kelim (vessels) with which he still hasn't reached unity, to unite them together and
to see that he is alone facing Godliness, facing the Creator.
All the
deviations, obstacles, foreign thoughts and all kinds of events that come to
him, he must attach it, in the end, to the Creator and not to all kinds of
other reasons and events. All of that is called other Gods since he makes
himself hang onto something that isn't in the Creator, i.e., that something
else or someone else exists that can be a source of bestowal, or good or bad,
on him and on the rest.
