Preparation Question: Our entire work in Kabbalah is only to attract the light that reforms. By this we receive everything we need for our advancement. Furthermore, I’m told that if I will help the others, I will advance myself even more towards spirituality. How does this work? What does it mean to help the others, those with the point in the heart, on the spiritual path?

Truthfully, I don’t know what this looks like at this point. I understand that we are to be there for the friends in their spiritual development but I don’t know how personal this arrangement will be or what it entails.
Will we be discussing things which we are encountering in our everyday lives or restricting our discussions to kabbalistic texts? How much of our time, energy and attention will be committed to the group work? I’m excited to find out more but also a little concerned that I won’t be able to do a good job of it with a very busy work and family life. I will do my best.
I have some theoretical ideas about the group and its purpose. Yet, I cannot imagine what would happen there. A group of people with a burning desire to see beyond and advance. The very first intention is to receive, and it’s o because we are made of “reception” material. I know that the “intention” software will run on “the will to receive” hardware. Helping others to become like the Creator and, in doing so, advance. But I really have no idea about it.
How does this work? Being in the right environment (a group of like-minded friends) where our ego and point in the heart can expand. The analogy of the test tube helps with understanding the right environment where we put the ego and the point in the heart in a test tube and then mix in with other points in the heart, spiritual guidance and Kabbalistic resources to attract the light that reforms.
What does it mean to help the others? You help others by transforming your egoistic desire to receive for yourself into a desire to share; thereby, helping create a vessel to receive the light.
As for being in a group with other individual that also have the point in the heart, each person is supported in their journey of becoming more like the creator instead of being dragged down by others who are not seeking to bestow but to continue on the self serving path. When one person is enlightened, it paves the way for others to also become enlightened. Unfortunately, I don’t know anyone with my same interests and there are no groups near me that offer the same teachings. I can only hope that being part of this group helps.
I believe that helping others can come in many forms, but the biggest part has to do with “loving your neighbor as yourself”. To help with only the intention to give rather than seeking some reward from it. I am having trouble with some of this. I help my family, I volunteer and I seek out ways to make my partner less burdened or simply for his enjoyment, but in a lot of cases I can see how I might benefit. Does this boost my ego? Am I doing it to get something back? Do I expect things like a thank you? And so I am begging the creator to show me the way, to make me more like him, because it seems that no matter what I do, it all leads back to me. Perhaps my fellow group members can help me out.
