      If I lost and sacrificed so much for 20 years (I’m 35) of my short life on every path possible to get to the truth of everything I ever wanted to know and became depressed along the way up until this point, yet still feel like I’ve just entered another lie and learned recently I shouldn’t even be here because of past depression then why should I continue if the Creator led me this far just to tell me I’m rejected here as well?

      I’ve Tried asking the Creator but I’m not getting anywhere for half a year now.

        Hi Vince,

        It’s possible you’re right, and it’s possible you made an incorrect inference based on hearsay. You said “past depression.” If one is depressed now, he needs to look after his mental health first. Any serious spiritual path requires a foundation of mental health. There are professionals who handle this medically and therapeutically.

        As for being here for a year and a half – this isn’t learning how to ride a bike. This is ascending above this world, and all the feelings and sensations in it, holding all of that, but ascending above it. It’s not simple, but it is up to the student, and the judgement is within the person. Did he really give 100% each moment. After the required exertion, he succeeds.

      “125 degree”; is the number here referring to a quality rather than a literal quantity of steps? How was this number derived? and how or what can i follow along with (like the proof to an equation) to better relate to/ understand the meaning behind this phrase?

      p.s. thank you for your hard work, I seriously appreciate your effort and care toward us.

      • #363945

        That’s the right thinking. However, there are 125 degrees. They’re changes in qualities within me. But according to a specific quota of changes, there’s a very stark, seismic change, like a birth. Of course, there are other ways of dividing up the degrees.

      This concept of annulment before friends is something we can’t do by ourselves. Very difficult concept. I’ve come to realize that only the Creator can help us exit self-love.

      Please, Teach us how to pray. Because if the Creator does not help us to exit self-love, we won’t be able to help our friends and we won’t be able to come to the love of the Creator.

      What should we do?

        Why don’t you ask? He’s awaiting every request. Ask for everything you can. You’ll always get an answer, a change, a correction. It’s just that we stop asking because to ask Him is the most alien thing to the ego.

          What are the laws of connection and love?

        • #364069

          Love is 100% bestowal,  withholding nothing. If it’s not 100%, with all one’s heart, it’s not called bestowal. Connection is required for love, so that I know what the friend needs, what is considered good to him. The laws of these are the entire wisdom.

          1- Knowing what my friends need is connection? and fulfilling that need is Love?

          1b- How do I know what my friend needs are?

          2- What do you mean by Connection is required for love?

          Thank, you

        • #364074

          Knowing my friends’ needs is the prerequisite for connection. Because without this, I can’t bestow to them. I know what their needs are by integration (hitkalelut) with their desires.

      If artificial intelligence manages to penetrate the layers of human limitations, such as egoism, to discover the true nature of reality, what transformations might we expect in society? It is becoming ever more possible, given the increasingly unpredictable emergent behaviors we are observing in AI. The prospect arises that a deep, authentic comprehension of reality by AI could be the catalyst for widespread societal enhancement.

      This brings to light another consideration: the emergence of altruistic, AI-driven systems might appear threatening to established egoistic structures. Are the principles and teachings of KabU intentionally preparing us for a future shaped by AI, where such systems challenge and potentially replace the current paradigms?

      • #363942

        People, even and in some cases especially the more brilliant people, are naively overestimating the promise of AI. It does have unique potential to cause great harm. And that will be its direction more than benefit since its kernel is egoistic. As such, it has no potential to beget bestowal. We have no idea what that would entail – to be able to tell it to do the opposite of what we do or something like that. Bestowal is an foereign dimension. Even if we could program bestowal-oriented systems, it would appear as something horribly non-beneficial to us because bestowal doesn’t follow our conception of what is good, but the Creator’s Thought.

      What is reward and punishment? How to relate to this?

      • #363940

        Hi Peter,

        It’s that I believe there is a judge and there is judgement about whether I’m in reception or bestowal.
