Rabash. What Is Revealing a Portion and Covering Two Portions in the Work?. 26 (1991) [2026-04-13] #lesson

This Kabbalah lesson, based on a text by Rabash from 1991, explores the spiritual mechanics of 'revealing a portion and covering two portions' in the work of personal and collective transformation. The discussion centers on the stages of spiritual development: beginning with the level of action (one line), progressing through the revelation of inner light and the awakening of desire, and culminating in the challenging state of 'two degrees'—a spiritual crisis where one feels worse than before. This crisis, described as the 'Rebellion of the Gauri,' is not a failure but a necessary phase where the soul confronts its own limitations and the illusion of self-sufficiency. The host emphasizes that true spiritual work requires moving beyond fear and ego-driven motivation (lo-lishma) toward genuine love and intention (lishma), where actions are motivated by the desire to give and align with the Creator's will. The lesson underscores the importance of group connection, inner consciousness, and the continuous effort to elevate one's desire to receive into a desire to give, ultimately leading to the creation of peace in the 'house'—the human heart and soul.
