Preparation Question: What does it mean to connect with others? In what desire are we connected?

Preparation Question: What does it mean to connect with others? In what desire are we connected?

[Ronny Cervantes]

I think it means to connect to others in a spiritual way. To learn to find a group of like minded people who have the same spiritual goal as you. To connect in many ways than just physically in a group. To connect with people who understand the truth and learn to stick to it. We are connected to ourselves at first, but must learn to connect to others by caring about others. We should have the desire to connect to the creator to do good to each other.

I like what Justin Wood wrote in this section.  A really clear statement.  We are connected in our desire to receive when we have mutual desire to receive in order to bestow.  He says it much better,though.

– to set tune with others

– desire to love

[Walter]

The desire to bestow.

[Justin Wood]

On one level, students of Kabbalah are connected by their mutual desire for spiritual truth and direct experience of the upper force. But on a broader scale, we are connected by our desire to receive.  When we interact with others on the basis of our own desires there is no actual connection occurring; there is merely conditioned interaction between egos. In order to actually connect with others, it is essential that we set aside our own desire to receive in favour of emphasizing the desires of others. The degree to which we are able to elevate the desires of others above our own dictates the degree to which we can really connect with them.

Honestly I am not sure. Things have become far more confusing as my studies have advanced
