There
Is None Else Besides Him
Each situation can be constructive;
everything depends on my attitude.
We
need to accept that each state comes from Above. There is none else besides
Him. Each situation can be constructive; it all depends on my intention, my
attitude. As long as I relate to a situation as to a situation that needs
clarification, correction, and advancement, then it doesn't matter in which
state I am in.
I
am constantly raising MAN (Mayin Nukvin, female waters) with
intention and from Above I receive situations. We need to see and understand
that what comes from Above is a blessing: "Good and does good." If I
go deeper and deeper into the studies, the group, the intention, renewal, then
it doesn't matter to me what I receive from Him. It could be that each time I
receive heaviness or harsh treatment,
but I understand that this treatment especially brings me closer. This is how
one would relate to a serious person to request advancement and not blessings
like when relating to a baby.

The
Shapes of the Letters
What
do the shapes of the letters stem from?
"Letters" are Kelim; their geometrical shapes express spiritual forces. This is the reason why
written Hebrew hasn't changed during the years since its origin, is intertwined
by the two forces that operate in spirituality, the force of reception and the
force of bestowal. The combination of
these two forces give us the shapes of the letters.
Thus,
if we take the letters according to an author's writing, it seems that in each
letter there are several, very defined elements in which each one is a sign of
the connection we have between the forces of reception and bestowal, between Bina (Intelligence) and Malchut (Kingdom). The influence of Hassidim (Mercy) is expressed in lines going from right to left (horizontal) and the influence
of Hochma (Wisdom) is expressed in lines from up to down (vertical).
For
example, if we take the letter Alef (1st letter in the Hebrew
alphabet), it seems composed of three elements: the letter Yod (the 10th letter in the alphabet) which symbolizes "Hochma"; GE (Galgalta
ve Eynaim, Skull and Eyes); the letter Dalet (the 4th letter
in the alphabet), Malchut or AHP (Awzen, Hotem, Peh), and
the Parsa between them symbolizes all the order. Also, the letter Yod is actually composed of three parts: the tip of the Yod (symbolizes the
spark from the Creator as "something from nothing"), point (symbolizes
the creation of the desire itself), and the curve turning downwards (symbolizes
the expansion downwards).
