Kadosh (Holy)
Holy means using the will to receive that was previously in order to receive. It is the reverse form of the ego—benefiting only others or the Creator. When it is in favor of others it is still at the degree of bestowing in order to bestow, the degree of Levites. But when we receive in order to bestow, it is at the degree of priests, the opposite the initial nature.
Holding a Grudge
We cannot correct ourselves if we are still “keeping score.” It is an internal energy. These are very deep corrections that astonish us when they appear because we suddenly understand how deep are our calculations for ourselves.
Prohibition on Divination
Divination is forbidden because it contradicts bestowal. If a person wants to bestow it makes no difference what will happen in the future. All we need is to connect with others and to give them. In that, we will find our new life. If we make any calculation, it is the will to receive.
One truly advancing toward bestowal is indifferent toward the future. All that that person wants is to bestow, to “be” in the other. In that state one has no connection to divination, as there cannot be any considerations. Hence, we should make the corrections within us because in each of us is the desire to know the future or to guess it.
A Male Goat to Azazel
A male goat to Azazel is all the desires we still cannot correct. There are 613 desires in us, and some are still not corrected. There is a lack of light that shines on us, hence we cannot fix them. We separate these desires from ourselves, which is why there are animals we slaughter and raise to Kedusha (holiness). These are the desires within us on the animate level. However there are desires where we cannot do this, hence for now we are releasing them so do not stay with us, as though we do not have them.
