      There is no coercion in spirituality, but the Creator keeps pushing me into impossible situations to see that I have no one else to turn to for help and that I must put all my eggs in His basket, no questions asked. Isn’t that coercion too?

        “There’s no coercion in spirituality,” but in corporeality, “he is coerced until he cries out, ‘I want.'” We’ll be squeezed until then. Upon us is only to run faster than the boot that is definitely raised in the air already to kick us again and again until we go faster toward the goal of life.

          Oh, ok, it seems like I’m dragging my feet then…

          Thanks, Gianni!

      In a society, I need to learn to bestow to others, and not care about the response that I might or might not get. On the other hand, I need to be certain that they are bestowing to me, which simply means, I will give all since I am sure that I will receive more from everyone else. Isn’t that the calculation from the corporeal world too?

        Sure, there are many degrees in Lo Lishma (not for the sake of the Creator) as well. But it’s already on way to the spiritual goal. Because “from Lo Lishma one comes to Lishma.” Specifically through the degrees of Lo Lishma.

      I was listening to Seth last Tuesday and he said to try to see the Creator in everything around us and our responses too, and everything basically, and actually, that is something that I do as much as I can since I first heard “There is none else besides HIM”, but in the corporeal life that left me feeling castrated in a way, as I see people that are attacking me and I cannot respond properly because I see HIM in them and how can I defend myself against HIM or even attack back if necessary? So, I don’t know how to overcome this feeling of castration and respond properly as I should in the corporeal world. I don’t even know anymore what a proper response would be… Can someone help me with this, please?

      Thank you in advance!

        In the corporeal world I behave according to the corporeal laws that the Creator established. “If someone comes to kill you, kill him first.” If it already manifested at this level, now I have deal with it at this level. Going forward I try to deal with all things in a spiritual way, scrutinizing my relationship with others and through them, with the Creator. But what’s manifested corporeally I deal with by corporeal means, what’s considered appropriate among the general public.

          Thanks, Gianni, I seem to have a problem with the corporeal world too…

      Kabbalists advise that we are prohibited to talk with friends about personal sensations related to internal states, in order to prevent bad influence upon them, even unintentionally.

      This is thought provoking! Kindly could an instructor shed more light on this please?

        It’s one of the many things that we do to try to approximate the spiritual state, so as to draw Light from our Upper, future state. When I reach the spiritual degree, that’s how I feel, that I prefer to be hidden. Like the Creator is hidden. If I feel like telling others, it’s because it’s not really a spiritual state yet.

        It’s true too that I can harm others and myself by talking about anything internal. Our currency is greatness of the goal.

      Could we have forum thread for our prayers, songs, poems, impressions, thoughts? I feel there is creativity abundance in the tens, and wants to be shared!

        Hi Clara,

        True, many students have creativity, but if everyone will express themselves as they wish, this becomes a place like multitudes of other places on the internet which are festooned with everything everyone feels like putting there. Here, actually, we’re on our way to what’s called Tzimzum (restriction), and that’s where all that I really am turns out to be something that is above almost all that I used to think was me. Almost, because I do have an initial foundation – the Point in the Heart – on which the spiritual world will be built. But for now it’s upon us to learn according to which templates we can be at least somewhat not opposite to the spiritual worlds and to only communicate here, through those templates. This keeps it a unique place,  laser-focused on the attainment of the Creator. But our creativity will eventually find its correct expression.

      Hello Gianni.

      Tuesday at Seth class, One friend asked what was an action. Today while reading attaining the world beyond I found this paragraph I don’t know if it applies.

      A place or space it is the desire for pleasure an action is either the receiving of pleasure or it’s rejection.

        I’d need to see the context, and I don’t have access to the Kindle version.

          Thank you Gianni. I forgot the importance of the context.
