Kabbalists write it as “a thin candle” – נר דקיק.
The slightest illumination from the upper worlds, enough to sustain a person – a “starting” point. We start out in our bodies to do the work, without the “body” – the will to receive for oneself, there would not be an opposite intention to look for. We have to start out in concealment in order to move from concealment to revelation. First we have to feel the concealment.
Hi Gil,
I love watching your course on The Science of Human Emergence and I want to ask, shouldn’t we be focused on restructuring our educational system throughout the world to teach our children in an environment that maximizes their growth holistically? Should we be teaching the next generation about the science of human emergence?
Thanks,
Tom Hughes.
Hi Tom,
Really glad to hear that you are enjoying the courses 🙂
To answer your question – absolutely YES. Kids-teens-adults, we all need to learn about the process the entire universe is going through. Where we came from, where we are headed and why. Of course, the material always needs to be adapted to the audience, just like with any subject, but there is no doubt that everyone needs to learn about the potential we have as a human race.
About the burden of the kingdom of heaven, does the burden because of the labor or pain to give to others.?
It’s only felt as “labor” to the ego – the will to receive for the self.
“Servant of the Creator” is not “worker” or “employee”.
Yet, like with the example of the Host and the guest, the intention to do good to one another is then common – they are in adhesion – and this is where the creature can finally use its will to receive, its desire to receive pleasure correctly and gain access to higher and higher levels of “acquiring” more of that force, becoming more and more similar to it. The ultimate fulfillment.
The source texts from the Kabbalists, actually the entire engagement, the whole “study” is what the will to receive perceives, what it feels as a result of interacting with the light. So the only state you write about is the state of the will to receive, rather with an intention to bestow – at varying degrees. Therefore, words like “servant” and “labor” are correct but the “effort” is not in tolerating pain or suffering, rather the calculation itself is inverted and “pain” and “suffering” are in relation to not being able to do good to Him as He does to us – this is our worry and our concern. The words are words that are associated with phenomena within the will to receive, yes but described in relation to work in bestowal.
Resting – His action/intention is only one – “to do good to the created beings”.
Within that plan, that includes an entire system of bringing the created being which was shattered back to one whole through the conscious and willing broken pieces to decide for themselves that they want to serve the Creator and not themselves.
“I the Lord do not change” as well as “to do good to His created beings” seems to indicate a contradiction, however the experience within the vessel of the will to receive will always be felt as “moving” and “growing” since the constant changes provide this sensation. These changes are only felt in the “receiver” and no changes are in the “giver” even though the action/reaction relationship makes it feel mutually dynamic.
Why are there the successful and unsuccessful and the godly and the ungodly, why not all successful and godly?
There are no flaws, only “roles” to play. If I see some corruption or flaw, it’s an indication that there are still corrections to be made within me. It’s like shining a light in a dark room to find the filth. If there’s no indication of filth, there’s nothing to clean. But you first have to find something to clean before you can clean.
