237A Kli (vessel) is not simply a desire to enjoy into which fulfillment flows; rather, it is our attitude toward the Creator. A spiritual Kli is built above the desire to receive; it is the screen and the reflected light. It is not a matter of what occurs inside the desire to receive; that is not what constitutes the Kli.

I always depict the desire to receive as a vessel filled with light. Above it I draw a screen, and above the screen another vessel. This upper vessel is precisely the Kli we are building. Without it, there is nothing for us to speak about.

To the extent that you, according to your level of development, do not desire to build this Kli, you suffer. These forces will compel you all the same to build a screen and reflected light. It cannot be that a screen appears in you if you yourself do not want it and do not build it.

On one hand, you must strive for this; on the other hand, you must, not only desire it, but also understand that this screen expresses bestowal to the Creator. Only the Creator Himself can build this screen, and only if you want to love Him as He loves you. That is, the screen is the result of the awareness of love, of connection, of fusion, of bonding.

It seems to us that we attain something after acquiring the screen. But once the screen is in place, there is nothing more to speak of.

928The difference between the present world and the future world lies in shift of a person’s inner intention regarding reality. Reality is everything that a person perceives. When you begin to see it in reflected light, that reality appears completely different to you.

However, this sensation is subjective. It does not mean that a person sees, for example, a house as something else entirely. Simply, its essence is seen differently in the intention and in the goal of creation. When you look at something, it seems to you that it simply exists. You do not even know why and for what purpose. But here you reveal a purposeful cause within each thing as well as how you can contribute to it. Every object has both a cause and a purpose.

A change in intention alters the sense of perception, ultimately, it is precisely the intention that changes, not what lies outside of the person. You might say, “But we learn that aside from the person there is only the upper light, and all the rest is simply illusion.”

So what does a Kabbalist in this world actually see? Do they see only the upper light, or do they also see houses, cars, women, children, and the group? Or do they still see only the surrounding light filling all of reality and themselves enveloped within that light?

When we say that the upper light fills all of reality, we are not referring to what we see and feel. We are speaking about the upper governance. It is what fills all of reality and is entirely benevolent. But at the same time, nothing disappears: not houses, children, nor the universe. The illusion lies not in whether something exists or not, but precisely in the intention for the sake of which it exists.

962.3We have five organs of sensation through which we perceive our surroundings. If we had different organs, we would perceive reality differently.

What are “different organs”? What other organs might we have? Perhaps different desires? Do our desires change? We have five primary desires. If these organs of sensation exist, then we experience sensations; if they do not, we do not experience them.

You might ask: when a person dies, parts with their material body, and remains only in spirituality, how do they perceive reality? Can they perceive the material world using a spiritual body? Since their physical senses vanish, they no longer see houses or people. What do they see and feel? What vanishes and what remains?

Therefore, we must say that everything is related to the sensing organs. Now when you look at the world, you see the outer shell, the material garments, because your senses are material. If you were to add spiritual sense organs to this, you would also see the spiritual garments that actually exist, i.e., the spiritual Kelim (vessels), corresponding to your spiritual level and those below it.

Anything above your degree would simply appear to you as light. As you ascend, this light coalesces into Kelim and their fillings. For example, each head (Rosh) of a Partzuf is called infinity, but this is infinity relative to that specific Partzuf.

If, however, I am above its Rosh, then for me, this is no longer infinity but a Rosh that I understand and perceive. What the Partzuf does not attain within its own Rosh, I grasp within mine. Thus, everything is determined by the sense organs.

137Question: What is the difference between a Kabbalist who has attained the end of  correction and someone who is going through the period of preparation in the material world?

Answer: The difference between them is in the intention. If we take a Kabbalist who has not yet attained the final correction and someone who is not yet a Kabbalist, but is already called one by virtue of their goal and by being in the period of preparation, the latter still remains in the intention for the sake of reception, whereas the first already operates with an intention for the sake of bestowal.

And it does not matter where a person is located: in the spiritual or the material world, among angels or animals. We are speaking about the person themselves; their surroundings are irrelevant. What matters is their attitude toward reality, which precisely reflects the difference in intentions.

When a person looks around, they see houses, cars, and people. Does this change depending on where they are: below the Machsom or above it, at the end of correction or at the beginning of the study at an introductory lecture? Reality remains unchanged. People, cars, houses, children, women, books, and the group remain the same.

It is me who changes from the intention for the sake of reception to the intention for the sake of bestowal. We study that “the hidden belongs to the Creator, our Almighty.” What changes is precisely the intention.
