Practical Kabbalah    

What is the practical test from the standpoint of self intentions?

The practical thing that the wisdom of Kabbalah suggests from the standpoint of a person's real intentions is working in a group that urges for personal development and lets a person see the place where he can attain revelation of the Creator.

Most of the time a person is busy with covering and hiding the evil in him, his hatred for the other, the envy, the lust and honor that control him. A person needs to constantly feel himself, subconsciously, better than others, higher than they in something. This is the unfounded hatred. We must constantly check if we aren't suppressing our ego so that we won't feel badly.

If I don't cover up these things and don't hide them from myself, then I have work to do each and every moment of my life, i.e., each time I feel that way towards a friend, I need to check if I can take this small measurement of unfounded hate that I must feel in a natural way towards each person, and to invert it to a good relation, in love.

If I constantly try to change the relation towards the friends, I suddenly discover that the Creator thus arranges it, and I need Him so that He will arrange things in me, in a correct form. And mainly I discover that everything is just a means to reach Him.

Daily Kabbalah Definition

Definitions in the daily Kabbalah lesson guide a precise, spiritual approach to terms, & disqualify materialized corporeal definitions

Zeir Anpin (Small Face), Da'at (Intellect/Knowledge), Heh (Five) Hassidim (Mercy), Heh (Five) Gvurot (Valor)

Why is Zeir Anpin called "Heh Hassidim" and "Heh Gvurot" and also called "Da'at"?

"Zeir Anpin" is the result of "Hassidim" and "Gvurot," which is Hochma (Wisdom) and Bina (Intelligence). It doesn't have anything of its own but it is born from them, in the middle of them. Thus it is called: "Heh Hassidim" and "Heh Gvurot"-Heh Hassidim from the side of Hesed (Mercy) and Heh Gvurot from the side of Gvurah (Bravery), or Hochma and Bina. It is also called "Da'at" since it rises and couples Hochma and Bina together.
