So this makes sense, God doesn’t want evil even hate it so he create creatures that are forced to do/be good so that every beings or so that God himself doesn’t experience evil/suffering, more makes sense than God being good that doesn’t want to harm..?

Hi mrc,

I’m answering all your above questions here. Looks like you did touch something here, but the word “force” would be incorrect since we experience free choice in the system. Another correction would be that He only has one action which is to bestow, to do good. In that thought exists the entire plan of creation to bring it to complete good. What we experience as “bad” is only in our perception of “bitter” and “sweet”, whereas reality is based only on “truth” and “false”. The will to receive for ourselves distorts the true reality.

God does good but I feel bad so good can be painful and God gives me suffering..?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Hi mrc,

Good and bad are relative though. When you have one purpose in life which is to escape or lessen pain and advance towards pleasure – reality will appear to you accordingly, you will feel reality in the ways that serve that goal. If you were to change the goal for which you exist, say, to bestow and only to good to others and the Creator – then you would feel reality as only the Creator and if it comes from Him, it cannot be bad. The change is in me whether or not I can see the good the Creator is bestowing instead.

We live among the poorest people in this world. We don’t know how to help. What can we do to help them?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Hi David,

Yes, we have all felt this desperation of the situation around us, but if you’re like me, it’s so uncomfortable to bear, you’re quick to find some soothing distraction.

The external world is full of suffering and tragedy, but nature considers the advancement of all of creation as a whole. When we wake up and start asking and looking around trying to find how to make it better, we’re all doing that from our own personal perspective and it seems very daunting. However, perspective is only where we start the process and the process will lead us out of ourselves and into all of creation. This transition from “me” to “we” is where all the corrections happen. Making these inner corrections are what will cause the external world to heal as well.

We continue the path and pave the way for the rest of the world to follow.

Best of luck,

Chris

Can we say that we received an awakening and now we are thankful yet impatient to continue on the path?

[David J]

Disregard previous message. As usual the answer appeared.

Is physical matter the opposite of spiritual forces..? Isn’t it the good which is spiritual and the evil the opposite of it, what’s so bad about physical matter it’s just a matter not good or bad doesn’t it..? Isn’t it nice to have from matter to nothingness but just without evil quality..?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Hi mrc,

We are the only thing that changes, what’s constant is the Creator’s attitude to us. When we change, we see a different world, just like Baal HaSulam writes, “we were as dreamers.”
