Hi Gianni, reading the article “The freedom” again and again and every time new questions pop up. below excerpt about “in a place of Torah”. is it correct to conclude that you want to be in an environment which will bring out the best tendencies of yours not the worst. if I notice an environment is not making me a better person in the Creator’s eye, I should stay away?
“Thus, Rabbi Yosi Ben Kisma correctly assumed that if he were to leave the good environment he had chosen and fall into a harmful environment in a city where there is no Torah, not only would his former concepts be compromised, but all the other forces hidden in his source, which he had not yet revealed in action, would remain concealed. This is because they would not be subject to the right environment that would be able to activate them.”
It depends what we mean by “a better person.” Better is only if it’s closer to bestowal, and that’s only the spiritual group of Kabbalists. All other environments I’m in only if it’s by necessity, such as at work, visiting family, maybe saying hi to the neighbors. It goes without saying that all kinds of, for example, online stuff where people philosophize, opine, and argue, it’s certainly not benefiting but rather lengthening my path. But a person has all kinds of free choice moments and only when he really wants spirituality upon each test, he reaches it.
I realised that bringing contentment to the Creator is not what I think is the right thing to do or when I feel some guilt and decide to read a text from the Kabbalistic sources. But bringing contentment to the Creator is like agreeing with what He’s doing. Agreeing with the Creator. Is that right?
Hello,
I think the link to the live daily lesson should be included here in the website if we pay memberships. Can they do that?
thanks

And I am sorry ,there is one more questions, I just really cannot get closer to that… although probably it has been answered a milliion times… in practice, what does it mean to bring contentment to the creator? What is the intention that I should have, in order to grow towards that? I feel I can grow towards love for the friends, and I have no issue seeing them greater as me, and I feel there is this sacred place in the ten… but that is a natural process, itś just happening… whatever action I do, whether participating in a workshop, preparing something… I do that with love, but I dońt feel myself in it, itś just a process, itś just happening as being part of this ten… so what does it need? Whereever the ten is, whereever the work is, whereever the creator is, there is no „me“… I dońt feel it… or if I feel it there is no creator (because then I am just in my ego, anyways). So, how can I bring contentment to the creator then? I dońt feel a „I“ in this…
I don’t know what brings Him contentment until He is revealed as a friend sitting across the table from me. Until then, I need to try to fulfill His plan, as much as I understand what the Kabbalists say about it. So, I heard that He is happy when I just want the goal to happen, and help it to happen, for others, for whomever would give the Creator the most contentment. This is how we come closer and closer to bestowal, which would mean bestowal outside myself, with nothing back to me, not even the knowledge that I’m giving contentment. When I truly have the spiritual Screen, I can also know how and in what I give the Creator contentment.
Dear Gianni, thanks a lot for all the helpful answers in this forum . I read them, and I feel them to be very clarifying and a big help along the way:) There is one more thing… because I feel it to be really difficult to do in practice… how can I go through the day, and really stay in contact with the creator? I am trying to , and then life is happening… and there are so many impressions coming from corporeality… I remember you wrote to act like a responsible citizen, and internally stay focused on the creator… so I try to do that… But I also feel, how these impressions of corporeality absorb me just through their intensity… whether people, major incidents,… all these things. Is it right to think these are all reflections of my inner perception? Then, how am I supposed to relate to them or do I have to learn to not be impressed by all these things (but then, why are all these things happening if they dońt have any impact at all…is there anything to learn from these things, or is it just mere distractions?) And how am I supposed to relate to the people that have not been awakend yet? I understand from what you wrote, itś part of creation, that they are relying on us that we do our work properly… I also understand that as they have not been awakend yet, in a spiritual sense, they are not considered as part of the created being yet, because they are still walking blindly, guided from above. What does that mean for them, and for how I should relate to them? Is this a matter of dissemination? Or to rely on the fact that everyone is developed according to his own plan?
It all comes together. But what’s a realistic way of dealing with things, that won’t be based on some strange belief system? Meaning, can I gain something by taking a certain axiom and basing my actions on it? I think for now we have to work in two directions. There is None Else Besides Him – inside I think about this – while behaving as if there is no Creator in reality. And it doesn’t matter that I’m facing before me a world made up of the many kinds of intentions that exist in me. I still need to exist in it. And most of them do not belong to the part of humanity that can work together with me in trying to change the intention to bestowal.
