Wondering if you can elaborate a bit more on the concept of receiving with the intention to bestow. I follow that I am a will to receive. To be more like the Creator, I continue to receive, but gradually with more and more intention to give. In the answer to Sara, you put it as, “So we agree that we will only receive because we love Him and we want Him to be happy.” Then you add, “And what can we do to make Him happy? Only to love one another.” By one another, do you mean love of the Creator, as in the host and guest analogy, or love of other people, or both? Where does one place their focus in this context?

Hi. In the interact section the sense of seeing gives an example of the sun as having no qualities or structure that can be seen. Of course we perceive it as a very bright orange sphere somewhere out there. It’s quite a mind shift, I had to have a lie down and a cup of tea to sort that one out but I got there and wondered why I had not thought of this before, the explanation makes perfect sense. After the cup of tea however I cast my attention to the moon and related cosmic “structures.” A ball of gas, photons etc ,I can grasp the idea but the moon seems to be a different kettle of fish. Someone has walked on it. It seems to have material properties created from an exploding star a long time ago? I know my retina will transpose the imagery that I am looking at in terms of the inner programme of the 5 senses but what would the moon look like through a 6th sense. Or does it really matter?

Good day all. I work with folk with learning disabilities and associated mental health issues and I have been  wondering how much this deficiency might affect any progress towards degrees of pleasure or fulfilment? Tony indicated the point in the heart beginning to pulse at the back end of knowledge and the sort of limit of our desires in the physical world, which have now gone to sleep. Personally – eventually it will come back to me and my egotistical self – I have sort of gone through the basic desires and then in the great financial crash in 2008 lost my job and as a cause my house. I am therefore back to the beginning in animalistic desires. It is really difficult to adjust to this changed perception of physical reality and be able to concentrate on moving  forward and I thought about how much the people  I work with must struggle. I guess the laws of nature will continue to drive us all toward the intended outcome perhaps it might take longer for some. Is this normal and a lesson in patience of which I have very little?

Martin,

Later you will realize why all of this happened like this and what are the benefits. Nothing is happening by accident.

You already see how different people have different desires that are active and other desires that are dormant. You also feel how you want your spiritual desires to grow. These are all very good discernments.
Don’t miss any moment.  Review the materials from our classes over and over and think about it during the day.
This path is not a quick sprint, it takes time to develop a person and nothing is wasted. So collect your impressions, even feel frustrated and make changes and develop.
The most important is not to leave it, go through the ups and downs and stay working with the lesson materials through all of those states.
You’ll see how much every step of the way is designed to help you on your unique corrections and advancement.

Good luck,

Hi,

Just only two questions,

Why the pain of any creature in this word hurts me?, is it a kind of egoism?

Thank you!!

[Seth – KabU Instructor]

Maria Rosa,

Some people can feel in their knees  before it begins to rain.
Some animals flee from danger before a tsunami.
And for you, you can feel suffering of some creatures.  You don’t feel the suffering of every zebra as his neck is eaten in the savanna.  You don’t feel the suffering of every small small monkey that is eaten alive by another monkey in Congo.  But you feel the pain of some creatures.
This is how you are created.  We don’t need to attribute it to egoism.  We don’t need to attribute breathing to egoism, it is a natural function of our being alive.
But now, what will you do with the feelings that you have?
That is what is in our hands,
Seth@KabU

While listening and learning to what you are saying so far, it reminds of what religion teaches that one must be “born again” and religion has certain steps you must take to achieve this becoming a new creature. I have rejected this belief after a lifetime of accepting just this. I could not be born again and change what I am, what I do not like about myself, so I have rejected this attempt to be a new person. In Kabbalah is a person being recreated, what is the process taking place that makes me like my creator?

[Seth – KabU Instructor]

Jim,

Take the study slow and deliberate. This is a very practical science and method with results.
For example you learn here that creation is a will to receive.
So study yourself, study the bird outside the window. Do you see that every creature is acting to fulfill a desire that arises in it? If yes, so progress. If no, so look more.  If this wisdom does not resonate with your heart or if it is not the right time so don’t force it.
But you need to be testing these things. Of course you can’t test everything yet. You may understand E=MC2 for example but you can’t prove it without a lot of lab time and years of math and science preparation, but in general you can grasp what Einstein is telling us.
At the end of the day, we will remain a will to receive. That won’t change, that is what the Creator created. But we will discover that we can receive pleasure from bestowing like the Creator’s quality is to bestow. And in this way we can become similar yo Him.
It sounds easy enough but it is a full inner revolution.
Go step by step using your heart and your mind, not blind faith and you will have a good foundation and you will succeed.

The hero is the patient one,

Thank you Seth, for taking time to write your response. I want to be a hero; so patience has begun.

So what about those of us who have never achieved everything we possibly could in terms of wealth and status? Are we unable to effectively pursue wisdom until we have first mastered all of the mundane pursuits? What if they’re just not that interesting and it’s obvious from observing people who *have* succeeded in those fields that it’s never particularly satisfying?

[Seth – KabU Instructor]

Ariel,

Don’t worry. You made it.

Actually Ariel is made of many generations incarnating and developing and more than that you are connected to your family and your country and your generation in all different many ways.
In short, “you” went through enough qualitative and quantitative development throughout time that you made it here.

 

Now that you made it here, the rest is in your hands to do.

We are here to support and go through this process together.
