One thing that blew my mind was learning that EVERYTHING I am, think, feel, do is determined by the creator. Until this week of study, I really believed that “I” was something that I determined! Hearing Rav Laitman make clear that I am a bug, rather than the self-determining-being my ego convinces me I am, shocked me into a new perspective.
The other thing that blew my mind this week was getting a feel for the gap between myself and the Creator. And, man, does that hurt. I actually feel physical pain when I register that gap. My egoistic self wants to paint the gap as smaller than it is or less important than it is.
“There is none else beside Him” – To learn this is not something to believe, but something to discover for oneself – to put in practice this week by practicing relating everything to One Force rather than many – to ‘see’ this for myself – to make this a habit – to make this awareness ‘normal’ to me through practice – to remind myself and cleave to this –
There is none else besides the Creator. I cannot fathom the level reached by Baal ha Sulaam that he can reach such an incredible insight and then be willing to share that with others like myself who are nowhere near where he was. I understand this to mean that the Creator provides the light but it is what happens when the light strikes me. What do I do with the light?
According to the dates on this discussion forum I was in a state of resistance. It blows my mind that I sense a knowing that all this is Truth; that I know There is None Else Besides Him. Even still, I must go through the corrections and learn this in this lifetime. Even in darkness and the darkest times of my life I sensed that Creator was everything. My purpose unfolds according to the Law of there is None Else Besides Him. It was just yesterday, however I experienced situations in my everyday life where I felt it is impossible for me to attain the goal of ascension through intention to bring contentment to the Creator. Watching the lesson today I now truly believe I’m in the action of prayer with the proper intention and this dispair will pass into he next phase of correction. I am grateful! Thank you so much for all you are and all you do!
