      Hi, Thanks, I thoroughly enjoyed the video’s insights and the hope it brings for a gradual transformation of our Will to Receive to a Will to Bestow. I have 2 basic questions:

      1. Is this attainable only in temporary/occasional moments while we’re still in our bodily clothing or can we actually get to 100% WTB in this life? Elsewhere in the materials I think we are learning that the aim isn’t to nullify our WTR, but actually use it as the engine for change when we have areas in our character revealed for their true selfishness at the expense of others and rue the chaos we’re causing.

      2. How can we actually sense we are making progress, since the necessary 6th sense is spiritual and not physical? When Tony talks of feeling/sensing bestowal more and more as we go through transformation, is this using our emotional senses which have become attuned to the spiritual (is this even possible?), or that in some other way we become “tuned into” the spiritual worlds which are currently not accessible? Is this the activation of our soul or perhaps nascent spiritual antenna waking?

        Paul,
        1. Until the end of correction when all of reality has been corrected, we will go back and forth between the two making greater and greater corrections, each time taking a bigger part of the will to receive and admitting it into holiness/bestowal.

        2.  You are right, that the spiritual organ of perception is not the material organ of perception.  But you will nevertheless feel the transformation.  However you will also be challenged at each step by the ego who does not enjoy losing domination over our every thought and feeling.  So in the ego, you may feel unpleasant some times, this is ok, explain to him, that he is right, that he should be fed, and maybe you throw him a bone, but nevertheless, you are going according to the books and the kabbalists who came before us and gave us a path from here to our spiritual attainment.

      What role does the negative side (other side) play in this world? Is this works part of “that side”?

      • #332808

        Gerardo,
        In the original state, when we were one with the Creator, like a spark in the sun, there is no feeling of “I”.  Everything is absorbed and contained in that great oneness.
        The separation is specifically in order for us to feel ourselves and consciously attain the degree of the Creator.

      in one of the videos it was mentioned that Abraham was actually the first kabbalah teacher, he was inviting people to his tent, giving them food and shelter and teaching them Kabbalah. I would like to know where in the Torah there is a mention of it , or else, how do we know that he was teaching Kabbalah? We know that Abvraham was spreading the belief in one God but how we can conclude from this that he was teaching Kabbalah the people who were invited to his tent ?

        Varda,
        What he was teaching is what we are learning.
        That is the Torah that was passed through the generations that we received from Baal HaSulam.
        You can explore the portion of the Torah VaYera and others.

      How does the boxes interact amongst each other? Light embeds the boxes who interact so how does that come in interplay in the experience of reality?

        Juan,
        Are you referring to the spiritual worlds that Tony drew on the left side of the screen?

          Hi Seth.

          So in the video they explain that the self is in a black box limited by how it perceives reality.

           

          but I am curious about how the self interacts with the other self and how that also shapes our perceived reality. Like finding a loved one or disagreeing with a friend.

           

          I guess is connected with the physical experiences.

          Not sure if this is better explained is hard to put it into words. Sorry

           

          thank you for following up

      Is altruism the key to all spiritual matters?

      • #330963

        Alberto,
        Altruism is a result.
        In spirituality, everything is mutual and integral, each working for the benefit of the whole.

      Seth,

      You write in your reply to Kim:

      “… we were created 100% opposite from the Creator.  He is 100% to give and we are 100% to receive.
      But, this also leads to another problem.  Due to this situation, we our qualities are opposite from His and we are as far as east is from west.
      And so through many  garments called worlds, the Creator clothes Himself more and more until all that remains is a tiny spark of light that shines through.  This is what we grab onto and slowly by working, dancing, playing with Him, we reveal more and more light until we do reach again that state of complete unity with Him”

      My question is why didn’t The Creator create us complete from the beginning? The fact that we cannot do or create anything or everything tells us that logically The Creator can create anything and everything. So why all the climbing and searching? Why not being in complete equivalence of form with Him to begin with?

      If I may attempt an answer myself: Is it again that we cannot comprehend the answer while at the level I am at now? Is it that I have to do the climbing and learning first, and then later I will understand?

      In other words, I will just have to follow my intuition since at this point I will not be able to see for myself what the truth is in any scientific or empirical sense, kind of like a baby has to trust his parents’ guidance. Am I right, or have I completely misunderstood this?

      Thank you so much in advance.

      PS. If my question is too incoherent to answer, I understand.

        Jack,
        Let’s say you inherited 20 million dollars.
        But let’s say you didn’t know about it.  And you go to work, and you take care of life and you are worth 20 million dollars, but, you don’t know about it.
        Then one day someone comes to your door and explains that a long lost uncle left you all of this money and it is yours to do whatever you want with.
        So the 20 million was yours before, but you didn’t know.
        So let’s say that is us with the Creator now.  He is here, revealed in all of His glory, but I don’t see it, I don’t feel it like that, not because of Him, but because of my awareness.

        Now let’s understand another scenario.  Imagine that one is totally adhered to the Creator in every thought and feeling, every smallest detail is in absolute harmonious synchronization with the thought of the Creator.  Well in that scenario, the person ceases to exist, he is totally nullified before the Creator, totally absorbed, like a spark is indistinguishable inside of the sun.

        Now we can understand why there is the concealment, so that we would not remain nullified and opposite from the Creator, but that we would go through a special process whereby we would be separated and then by traversing the distance between Him and me, I come to know Him, understand Him, feel Him, arrive to be with Him in unity.

          Seth,

          I understand perfectly now. Thank you for taking the time to explain. – Isn’t it funny how sometimes you can battle with a question for days or weeks (in some cases even years), and then when you realize you have to ask the question, and you muster the courage to do so, and somebody with a kind heart and the necessary knowledge answers, the answer suddenly becomes clear as if a thick fog had lifted. and you have to wonder how there was ever a time when you didn’t understand the problem?

          You have such a beautiful way with words, it’s a pleasure to read your reply posts also to other students.

          Thanks again………Jack.

        I think the purpose is that we prove our desire to be like him, he wants us to deny our selfish desires to prove that we truly desire what he wants for us and not just our selfish desires. There is evil among us and there is a thief that steals for greed i.e. The bank robber and the thief that takes food so as not to starve. This is food we must seek out of necessity rather than selfish wants. If one does not need than one does not want. The paradox of the wisdom of truth is such that if one does not think than one can be connected to the source, but can one survive without thought or knowledge? I think yes and this should be our goal, be still and know that I am God. Like the Indians that would sit and sit  because they were afraid that the slightest movement could cause something bad to happen. Just my opinion
