First, I am feeling so humble and blessed to have found this platform, Kabu.
My 71 years of journey, I have sought out the purpose of life and certainly mine.
I bought a book on Kabbalah many years ago and could not understand any of it.
several months ago, I woke up and realized I needed to study Kabbalah. I have listened to this video several times, and I now understand what I need to do to continue my journey to the spiritual ladder.Thank you, Tony. I always relate to the way you explain the concepts of Kabbalah. I am recently out of an abusive relationship and am reframing that experience as something the Creator gave to me in my life so that I could learn from it, grow more deeply connected to my Self and be a better resource and example to others including my three year old daughter. I had begun the Kabbalah Revealed course several years ago but hit a wall and then spent so much energy on what felt like minimum daily survival that I couldn’t study or even think much about it. As Tony mentions, this is all part of the development process.
I am humbled by this. I’ve always thought that my actions will justify me. I have understood that it’s only that desire to be filled with the power of the Creator through prayer that keeps me empty. My actions doesn’t even matter. Whatever I feel as a limitation, pain or trial isn’t what it really means, it’s just a phenomenon to prove the worthy. I’m so grateful to God for this day. I had actually felt despair and abandoned. I thought there was something I wasn’t doing better. Now I understand that my efforts doesn’t matter at all. May God help me!
Michael,
Well, we are in the wisdom of kabbalah. Of course your efforts matter. That is what matters.
But, unlike this world, we are not looking for the results in the same place.
In this world, if you work for an hour, you want an hour of pay.
But in our spiritual work, the Creator wants our efforts. He doesn’t need us to move rocks from here to there or for us to save a tree (it’s nice to plant a tree, but it’s not correcting our soul). But through many efforts, we come to need Him. Through many efforts of trying and trying we get to the bottom of our heart, where we gave all that we could give and then we have a true prayer from the bottom of our heart that only He can help us and we discover Him there.

I do not have a question. I am simply sharing what I feel.
The creator is all, so we simply perceive. It is our arrogance from our Ego that puts power into our actions. That power does not exist in us but is from the creator. We grow farther apart from the creator because we perceive what is real. We are not powerful. When we let go of this “knowledge” we become sad. We realize we are alone because we relied on ourselves to make changes (which is impossible). When we become truly alone the creator sees this as a genuine prayer of brokenness and despair. At that moment the creator sends mercy in the form of the beginning of unification. The creator sends some message in our life to seek true spirituality and stop relying on ourselves. The creator never leaves us, we simply never thought he was there because we relied on ourselves and this is why our efforts failed. Our perception changes and we perceive that all is the creator and we do nothing. This is when the natural forces present themselves in a manner in which we can surrender and truly understand our roles as powerless creatures. It only seems like abandonment because we abandon ourselves eventually (since we have no power). But in reality the creator waited patiently until we experienced our purpose was for his pleasure. The creator finds pleasure in my accepting his gifts of bestowal. I find nothing in rejection of this and eventually seek to receive the intended gift. Nothing about the natural forces change, my desires become the creators because I understand I am the one changing and the creator is the one changing my perception out of mercy. Mercy is given because upon this realization i can stop making myself miserable by relying on power I dont have and witness the true power of the creator who does. When i stop focusing on myself, but accept my true nature of selfishness is also pleasurable to the creator, I take on behalf only that it is pleasurable for me to do so. This allows me to think of the creator rather than myself and should lead to the understanding of my non broken screen. But Malchut is a state of maladaptation, therefore when i receive some light it will never be enough until i reach 100% and am one with the creator. Again the creator is not pushing me away, my perception and natural nature just feels like he is.
Hi Seth (or Tony),
In the Tip of the Week for this week, we are advised to try and see that “There is none else besides Him” in our daily lives. But we still don’t have any screen or attainment, and I have a very vivid imagination and tend to see all kinds of connections.
Is there a trick (a crack) for us, who don’t have the screen yet, to discern what stems from animal imagination and what not? Or do we just observe, without any judgement and trust?
Thank you for your answers! And for “The Great Transition” – I love it!
Greetings,
Ralitza
Ralitza,
Hi! 🙂
Also you animal imaginations come from the Creator.
First things first is to attribute it all to Him.
It’s not a reckless, religious fanatic principal.
We’ve been studying, we are examining ourselves, we can observe the will to receive working in us, we can start to understand that we are observing nature in four developing degrees of inanimate, vegetative, animate and speaking. We can see how the wind affects the water and together they affect the weather and the moon affects the tides and the birds and bees and in short, we’re in a closed system that functions on laws of nature. So that I don’t see all of the connections with my eyes doesn’t bother me and even if I had hawk eyes, I couldn’t yet see how every planet and star and galaxy are also connected in the same system.
So from now, I’m going to start to attribute everything to this system that we call the Creator.
Good luck,
