Hi!
How do we heal the shattering inside of us? When I perceive that what is happening outside of me is a part of me, I feel broken.
Thank you
We don’t need to worry so much about where is the shattering, but simply to work “beyond our skin.” Dwell in the friends in the group, and there we see what’s broken, and what to ask the Upper Light to correct.
Hello teachers!
“After all, as soon as a person begins to feel others as himself, he will immediately discover the Creator outside himself.”
Regarding this answer from the blog…
When a person does not respect himself and others by cheating and telling lies how does it happen that I feel the other as myself ?
Thank you
First, we need to discover this patent by which we transform our perception of reality, in the Kabbalistic group. And there, we should also remember what Baal HaSulam says, “It is not that the friend should love me” – that is, act in the ways that seem right to me – “but it is I who must love the friends.”
Question about predetermination. Is it so that our corporeal lives are predetermined and the only thing that changes is our attitude to what is happening to us? Or are corporeal things going to change when we study Kabbalah?
I understand and feel the power of love and connection is amazing. But how about the people surrounding us that are not there, feel the darkness, feel the deficiency, but cannot wriggle out of their egos to take those steps needed (not the „happy egoists“, but rather the lost ones that are caught in a battle with their ego)? Itś so sad to feel their suffering, and I feel itś heartbreaking to just walk by and leave them. Can we see them as friends, can we pray for them? And how? Thank you 🙂
Hi, so, Sorry, but just two more questions… what does it mean when itś said that a female (like Sarah or Rebecca or else) was infertile for a specific time… Does that mean that in the specific constellation of forces that is described (like Abraham with Sarah oder Isaac with Rebecca), the will to receive is blocked during this „time or constellation of intertility“, and a specific desire is held back and cannot been „born“ unless there is a certain development made?
And with all the processes and forces that are described in the Thorah Portions, are they subsequently following each other, or do they work in us in parallel strings, and go through cycles again and again… ? So… compared to a human, is it more like aging (there is a beginning, and then certain development, certain stages, and a final end) or is it like the day-to-day way functions… like the circadianic rhythm of hormones, or the way the liver processes toxins or the million other things that happen over and over again? Or is it both? (Because that at least is how our body works?)
I don’t want to be too smart here, because it won’t help. I’m supposed to read such texts for the Reforming Light to work. And to whatever extent I’ll taxonomize everything and understand, when I reach it, I’ll find that I didn’t imagine even one thing correctly. Except for the Light operating, and awakening in a person those vessels that are talked about there, nothing will help. Except that I can clog students with some extra knowledge that can actually lengthen their path.
Thatś a challenging answer:-)In a way it makes me happy, because then that makes reading quite easy… so if I dońt understand, Iĺl just leave it there… Íd like to write, „no problem there“, especially while being just a beginner. However, unfortunately, our mind DOES create images and questions all the time. So if the answer to all that is „you cannot imagine that, dońt even try, the purpose of reading is just connection and drawing the light“… (and I can well imagine it to be like that.. so I dońt even have an issue there…except that it will frustrate my ego)… then why during the morning lessons, so many questions are asked? Why not read in silence and focus just only on connection? Or better asked: what questions should be asked at all?
Questions should be about the connection, to help the friends connect and connect to the Light, and whatever can tie us all more closely to what we’re studying.
Here, though, you can ask anything; but I won’t answer unless it’s going to help, according to my definition of help – and I don’t mind if students are not exactly satisfied right now. The extreme of this is Rabash, who was pleased when friends would come out of his lesson empty. He wanted the Kli. It’s with the Kli that you reveal. Not when it’s stuffed with all the knowledge one might be curious about.
Thank you really a lot for these explanations and sorry that I get back to it once more (and itś the last „add on question“ on this topic, promised). The only reason that I am asking those questions, and I dońt know how it is for others, is that I feel whenever I read something, it does something, but I dońt know what it does, how it works, and who I am. However at the same time. I get all these images of how things intertwine and connect (which is probably just because I am a very visual person). And feeling that insecurity, even the idea to connect about this with others, feels like fooling around without taking responsibility for what I am doing. So with every „did I get that right“, I understand I miss the essential points, because I dońt have the vessels to understand. But basically that means I need to cut off any attempts to understand, ignore those images my mind creates as I read, and work with the idea that I have nothing to give when I connect – except my love and dedication and wish for others to understand more than I do. Is it supposed to be like that?
Thank you Gianni, that is incredibly helpful. I am looking so forward to start working in a ten, and equally, to read the texts with this other intention. I was happy to relate to them as I did, but in fact, this other approach is making the work a lot more authentic and easier for me. And I will try to form my question, much as I can, with this in mind as well. ❤️
Hi, there is another question that I am not getting out of my mind. The way I understand it, our emotions, and even thoughts are kind of „operated“, by our desires, from above… and the freedom we have is how, during experiencing all we do, we direct our intention. Is that correct? And then… with all the pain that people inflict upon themselves or others, I understand itś basically the same, is that correct? Now, what is the point of „freedom“ , the momentum of choice there?
And how does that apply to all the self-hatred people show? Take self-harming issues or like people who are treating their bodies in a harmful way or treating themselves with disrespect. I mean, basically thatś happening everywhere. What creates that immense lack of self-love? Why do people hate themselves in terms of spirituality?Thinking of desires, I understand, why people may hate others…but how does a desire hate itself? . Why would a desire try to destroy the body and mind itś using, or be dysfunctional? An what is the lesson to learn? (I am not talking about psychodynamics, I know it´s complex, but as to the spiritual purpose of it, I feel a bit lost to understand).
It only seems that way, that people don’t love themselves enough. It’s precisely intense self-love in the moment, but for me, in the desire I am right now, to receive maximally, and not to care for some future state, someone’s predictions about what might be good later or something like that. Now, exactly in this later, is the ego, the Klipa that gives me this sense of time, that I can always do what I need to do, later. It’s program is to ensure I’m eaten by worms before I attain spirituality, one day at a time, one moment at a time, until the dirt piles are thrown on my coffin. For now, I’m fine, busied with this and that. Will tomorrow be different? It’ll be the same, for different reasons.
