Does only engaging in the wisdom of Kabbalah “when I feel like it”, when it is pleasant to do so defeat the point of doing the work?
What about when i feel resistance before engaging in lessons, readings, and meeting with the ten? I know that it’s important to engage no matter the feeling, and that the feeling can indicate where i am relative to “what brings me closer to the Creator”. I know that joy is a great commandment, so enjoying the work is not necessarily a bad thing. I know that engaging with Kabbalah is generally always a good thing. It’s just there is a thought that says “I will only engage on my terms when it suits me” which seems antithetical to what I’ve learnt so far. Advice that I have heard many times is to make a consistent time everyday to dedicate toward studying, yet this is really difficult for me to achieve. There is something missing here…
A few months ago, one of my friends asked you a question…and you replied him and said, and I quote, “to be in kabbalistic thought” then, I asked you, What does it mean to be in Kabbalistic thought? You replied and said, to think about the friends.
When reading the Book of Psalms, should we focus our intention towards connecting with the friends?
What does kabbalah meditation mean?
Here’s an explanation of Kabbalistic meditation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8SsQJkZNhE
Generally, we want to always think of the connection with the friends. It’s easier to do with the writings of Rabash. It’s not so easy to tie Psalms to this, even though that is what Psalms is about.
How do I increase my propensity to pray when stressed out in the corporeal? It seems I become critical of the ten and then it spills over into me actually criticizing the friends when stressed. How do I teach myself to pray more? Idk what it is but it seems deep down inside that I don’t think it will be productive to pray, does that make sense? I mean I believe the sages but somehow the idea of prayer is not part of my deep nature and I have to remind myself to do it.
It’s not just you – the last thing one wants to do is turn to the Creator. For this, I have to cancel myself, which is against my ego. We have to practice this with the ten, the Light will work on us, and eventually we can turn to the Creator.
Stress is usually just an intensified concern for myself – more of the usual. If the spiritual goal will be higher, the stress will reside down below and I will live above it.
For there to be great fear, must there be also a great reward? And if one has fear for the creator, then is the reward not for the ego but for the sake of the creator?
Why is it that the articles in the daily lessons seem to speak exactly to something occurring in my world that day?
