      I was abused as a child. Is it a correct form of prayer if I ask the Creator to take away the PTSD and pain. When I ask the Creator to heal me I break down crying and have that internal powerful gut wrecting cry out to the Creator.

        You can ask the Creator for each and every thing. He’d like us to turn to Him all the time. Here, it could be that I need some sort of professional help too – I don’t know. Because I need to deal with what’s on the plane of this world, with the means the Creator put on this plane. If, from the upper forces, it already appeared in this world, I can’t address it any longer with just inner forces. Only for what’s on the way to me from the upper world, I can yearn toward the goal of Creation such that the things that are in the queue for us can manifest in a good way.

      Dear Kabu,

      How do you/ doe’s one, cope with the profound realisation that the reason why you have not attained the goal is because that in one’s own ‘heart of hearts’ you do not desire it earnestly, fully and completely enough and knowing this brings about great sadness to the individual.

      The ups and downs and all; how do we ever come to terms with the fact that we may never attain the goal because our desire is not strong enough and we then fall back and become as dross again? This is too crushing at times and a source of sadness to me.

      Let me know your thoughts. As ever, warm regards and thank you ever so much for all you do.  Lyndon S.

        Nobody desires spirituality because spirituality is concealed. So how can I truly desire it. It’s like trying to long for a sixth finger. In the beginning the Creator activates me to give me an example of what it might be like to truly want spirituality. Then He takes that activation away, and I see that I don’t want it by myself. That’s when I must start working with the friends in the ten practically to advertise the greatness of this goal. And that will affect me. And I don’t have any hope of affecting myself directly.

        I do not have an answer for you Lyndon, but I feel you, feeling your sadness, your despair, your honest, deep search for the answer.
        I just want to give you a spark of hope, that you are not alone, putting this Q out you made a connection to other struggling hearts 💔. You are not falling, connecting is the key, the Creator will take care of the rest.
        Keep connecting, broken, sad or whatever state you are in 💞💖🙏.

        Praying for all the sad, lost, confused, crashed sparks in the hearts 💖🙏💖🙏

      The afternoon daily lesson on 9/1 left me with some questions..

      1) since for the goal it is more important for me to love the friends than them loving me… is this the reason why disputes and scrutiny’s are important? because it is easy to love someone who loves you, but if I have to overcome our disagreements and still love them, not in fake action, but to truly love them in my heart, then we can actually know true love (not in the corporeal sense) but bestowal/equivalence of form? like we will have different “mind/intellect” but the same heart? like bestowal is opposite of reception but like the middle line is peace/compromise between war and love? the middle line doesn’t become the right and left line, the right and left line still exist, we (the will to receive) will still exist, but will feel pleasure correctly? I hope you understand what I am trying to ask…

       

      2) Is the final correction sort of like (only using this comparison because this is what we work with in corporeality) a computer? because Rav said we are to be many intellects and one feeling. Like a computer has many different websites and many of them are a completely different thought than others but some are similar but may differ in some aspects (these are the minds) but all these websites (minds) can be found in one (computer/internet) form (quality/intention) like this is how we are to work together?

       

      3) is it POSSIBLE to just make up your mind that no matter what dispute you have with a friend, to JUST CHOOSE to not let that get in the way of how you feel towards the friend? I know we cant manipulate feelings, but is it POSSIBLE for the GOAL to mean that much to you that disputes are too small to get in the way??

      Thank you so much for taking the time to answer!

        Hi Naomi,

        All your saying is valid. Of course there are some unscrutinized things still. But “all is clarified in thought” and you’re starting to do that. In thinking and thinking about the friends, the connection, we’re actually scrutinizing the desire. Or, we can say that we’re opening ourselves to the Light to scrutinize our desire.

        A couple answers:

        The disputes with the friends – the main thing is to notice it and rise above it, without erasing it. Because we are incompatible because we’re all unique, special, irreplaceable. There’s no way we can have something in common other than mundane things of this world. I need to thus work to value each friend’s approach, wishing to take it as-is, as perfect, in gmar tikkun already. There is room for each of them to fill my heart up, and for their spiritual inclinations to control my heart. Then I’ll discover that these are actually my spiritual desires that were cut off from me. This is how we become one system, one man in one heart.

        About making up your mind. I can make up my mind about anything but I should try. The reason I can’t is because the mind is an upshot of the desire and in the next moment the Creator will open a new broken desire in me, and in that desire I won’t agree to spiritual correction. That’s why I need to fill my group with all the loving spiritual nutrients I can, so that it will awaken me from my new, broken state, and I won’t take a long time to return to the correct work. This way I avoid a long unpleasant process of correction.

      What is the Preparation for the Convention? What is the Convention? is this happening at the same time as the retreat in north America? Are we going to be able to watch it live like the daily lessons? how often do these happen? is this an invitation only time of event? Where can I find the information. I feel like a teenager that heard there’s a party going on but nobody told me about it LOL. I don’t want to go to the party I’m just trying to connect the dots.

      Can we compare overcoming the 49 gates (and finally standing before the King) with overcoming the 125 degrees to  come  to adhesion with the Creator? Or are there differences there?

      Suffering and afflictons  ,what can we do about this? Can I make a real restriction? Because, It is all about the Creator,doing the work ? How to come to some sort of revalation?  Giving up on pride? Is that the final egoistic desire to surrender, to give up?

      • #329878

        In short, I need to ask the Creator for everything, while trying to make actions; the efforts are upon me, the actual spiritual actions are up to Him, as I can’t even imagine what they truly are.
