Marvelous lesson as always!
Learning about this complex development program that we are a part of, makes me feel wonder and gratitude for our soul’s existence. When i start the process of developing my point in the heart, I feel that I am gradually more encouraging towards others doing the same, since each of us will be driven towards developing & transforming, and I’m eager for them to feel the joy of developing themselves as I feel developing myself.

1. Would this gratitude and thankfulness I feel, and my prayer that others also develop the same way,  be a way of pleasing the creator?

2. I feel sorry for my departed loved ones, that they haven’t used the opportunity of their life on earth to pursue this transformation, can they continue developing in the afterlife, parrallel to myself,  through the bond of love we have?

Andreanne,
Yes, certainly.  Like a new child when she finally recognizes her mom.  Until then, she is more or less unconscious of her mom, she is attached to her, and dependent on her for everything, but then one day, she looks at her mom and smiles and it fills mom with such joy.  But what did the little, helpless infant do, except look up and acknowledge the upper one.

Regarding your second question, I see you found one of Rav’s articles.  That’s great.  You can google “Laitman blog [any topic]” search for any topic you are interested in.  Rav has published extensively and I’m sure you’ll find wonderful material.

thank you Tony x

Thank you Seth.

I have read comments from friends with a similar concern. We feel privileged with the growth opportunity we have here, and wish the same for our loved ones, including those cherished ones who have passed. Except that I’ve also come across some Kabbalistic theories that reveal that growth happens mostly through our efforts on this plane.

Thank you Seth.

Hi 🙂

I have really appreciated this lesson, thank you.

It has arisen in me some questions.

If I have understood the lesson correctly, Hashem directs everything that concerns us. If it is so, that means that:

1. we do (in action and thought) what the Creator wants?

2. In which degree do we held responsability for what we think and do? Towards whom?

Thanks a lot

Elena,
How many 100s of generations came before you.  People giving birth to other people each with their qualities and from what regions, what foods they ate, the amount of sunlight they got, luck they may or may not have had with health and earning a living, how many life lessons, how many festivals, how many celebrations and funerals and endless details until you were born and inherited all of that.
And you didn’t chose your city of birth or your teachers or what to be fed or what songs were sung in your house and what books were read to you as a child.
So you were formed from material that you didn’t chose and educated with ideas you didn’t chose and all of this formed you into who you are today, so it’s clear that there is not much we can be held responsible for.
In this world, of course there are customs and laws and what is legal in one country maybe a crime in another country.  So what does any of this have to do with the Creator.
We will learn slowly and methodically how to discover the system that we are in and that all of the experiences that we go through are in order to build in us a correct yearning, a correct desire for the Creator and in the end we will discover that we are just revealing what already exists.

I have been reflecting over some of the most painful and difficult times in my life through the lens of lesson one.  I suppose in some way it gives a new meaning to suffering, a new way of seeing the darkness and aloneness.  I am slowly coming to believe in a bigger plan to all of this.

I am not sure yet if I am angry with the nature of suffering, war, exploitation, abuse and trauma in the world as a means of correction.  I know I am talking about the collective now, but surely there is another way other than suffering to awaken us.

I am slowly coming to believe!!

[Elena Ester Rivka Guadagnini]

Thank you. I am very eager to know more and more and to be part of this wonderful group. 🙂

There is none else besides him. So my physical, emotional, & mental self, because it has been sent by Him, is  all this not really “ME”, but Him ?

Is the only  the part of me which exists the bit that can choose to change my need for the creator.?

[Seth – KabU Instructor]

Sarah,
We did not attain this yet, so for now, we are learning about the laws of nature.
It’s as if someone tells you that there is WiFi in the room but you can’t see it, you just believe it and can work with the results of it, you can connect to the internet.

So for now, you don’t see or feel or attain that there is none else besides Him, we barely understand what it means.
So do not get too confused with all of this.
We still need to live in this world but as we do so we are learning about these forces that are unseen in the meantime.
But you are correct that all of our work will be to reveal the Creator’s guidance over all of reality.

I dont really know what “the desire to bestow” to the Creator means. I understand that if I act in bestowal towards another human being, I may get a response of delight, & I can kinda forward that upwards, so with my pleasure in receiving thanks I can say ” not for my sake but thine”.

But other than that I m lost, and please can you give me an actual example of what you mean, in this world, in your answer, to help me understand, thank you.

[Seth – KabU Instructor]

Sara,
No, it’s impossible to show it in this world.
In this world you can be 1000 miles away from someone but feel as one in your heart, or you can be in the same bed with a person and feel 1000 miles away from them.
In this world you can hate someone and still smile at them.
In this world if you don’t receive a gift from your child, for example, it’s a rejection, but if you do receive the gift from them, by you receiving, you are actually giving to them they feel they received something from you, some pleasure from being able to give to you.
These things are not clear.
All of the spiritual work is done in inner calculations and feelings on the outside it may look this way or that.
