So from what I’m understanding is we need to correct egoism in order to desire to receive. there is a process an order we must get to, to be able to reach altruistic. Is this Wright?

[Tyler]

What has been perceived and shared as the best path that a creature may walk, morning, noon, and night, in order to best attune and correct their qualities to align with unbounded altruism?

[Seth – KabU Instructor]

Tyler,

This path.

[Tyler]

Please do forgive me for asking too quickly, but I do believe that by continuing recommended reading, and from some sharing that Lio did yesterday in a Q&A session, that I may have an answer.

My understanding is that the path is different for each manifestation of Adam ha Rishon and is best represented by the concept of Reshimot.

The most important thing we can do is to reformulate the intention we have when we receive desires from egoistic to altruistic. Once that center is set, Reshimo appear individually, according to which of the 125 rungs we are on.

We should embrace the Reshimo presented as an active opportunity to correct errors with our perception, honing our intention to allow for better alignment with that of the Creator. Embracing the correction will allow for the next Reshimo to present itself in a quicker fashion than if one passively allows or actively goes against the correction.

From my parsing, this path of correction can potentially be further sped up by focusing attention on and spending time with the following:
– The Zohar
– Talmud Esser Sefirot
– A group of Ten in Post Grad work

While I am still curious about potential specific methodologies one may utilize to boost the altruistic signal throughout the day, I think I better understand how the Path can’t be narrowed down to a single system.

Please provide further correction if I am in error. I am so grateful for what has been compiled and offered here.

Thank You, Beloved Friends.

Tyler,

It sounds like you are making sense of things, at least starting to.

Please clarify your question. I’m not clear what you are asking. Try to formulate the question clearly and one question at a time. No big introductions, just the question.

Hi! So if equivalence of form rules the spiritual objects, which in turn, rule the material world, and there’s just two things: the Creator and the Created, that explains that everything is kind of the same, has the same qualities, meaning and purpose, but in different ratios. Am I understanding correctly? In other words, this explains why the infinitely big looks the same as the infinitely small, or “as below, so above”. The only problem is that we cannot see it because of the limitations of our perception, right?

[Seth – KabU Instructor]

Jacques,
All the problem is in our perception, which was made this way so that we would feel our existence and now our work is to correct that perception so that we can perceive the whole, integral reality that we are currently in.

I understand that through Kabbalah, we learn how to refine our spiritual vessels and expand our perception of reality. However, even as we grow spiritually, it can still be challenging to connect with people who are constrained by their own limited perspectives. People naturally gravitate toward those who are similar to them, which makes forming deeper connections difficult when you’re on a path of spiritual growth. In fact, many people not only limit themselves but also try to impose those limitations on others. So, what can we do?

[Seth – KabU Instructor]

Natu,
When you look back on your high school friends, you probably don’t spend a lot of time with most of them anymore. At the time, you all sat together 8 hours a day five days a week.  Today you have different things going on in your life.
It’s normal that we drift apart from people as our life changes and as our interests change.
However in this situation, it is not good to isolate yourself, you should maintain connection with the people at work and with your family, neighbors, if you play a sport or music, it’s good to stay connected with some people.  Of course as your interests change it is not as natural to connect with others who are talking about the weather and the headline news or sports as you are thinking and interested in the meaning of life, but we don’t want to isolate ourselves from society.
On the other hand, as you continue your study, you will have the opportunity to connect with and work with other students who like you are yearning for the meaning of life.

Es necesario corregir el ego para acceder a la percepción de la gran realidad. Ahora bien, ¿cómo puedo iniciar esta corrección de mi naturaleza egoísta para avanzar hacia la equivalencia de la forma con el Creador?

[Seth – KabU Instructor]

Yes

[Kirstin]

Thanks.  I found this lesson cryptic – perhaps I missed something.  The problem for me is that the capacity to bestow is directly proportionate to the capacity to receive.

So one arrives at a logical conundrum that if only everybody wants to bestow, no body will want to receive, and the whole thing will come crashing to nothing.

Unless I have missed something here… 😉  Didn’t God already make Man in his image, so both must have capacity to receive and to bestow?  However, if I look back over my life, I can see times where people were trying to give me things I could not appreciate for what they look like to me with hindsight.  This is because my perception, at those relevant times was different from what it is now.  That would mean both my capacity to receive might be bigger than it was, as is my capacity to perceive what is being bestowed.

Kirstin,
All of this originated in the thought of creation.  The Creator desired to create a creature and fill it with endless fulfillment.
From the side of the Creator, that is it, there is no distance between thought and completion of the action.  In spirituality, there is no time, space and motion.
All of the changes are from the side of creation, from the side of the kli (vessel).
We have an expression in the wisdom of kabbalah, there is no light without a kli.
But of course there is light, the whole of reality is filled with His simple light.  What it means is that there is nothing to perceive, literally no reality unless we are perceiving it.  Besides our perception, our limited perception which is only perceiving a tiny, tiny, tiny piece of the whole, beside our perception inside our vessels of perception, there is only endless Light of the Creator.

Now as we study the spiritual systems and stabalize our new perception inside of us, we discover many processes and we learn them one by one.  While someone may meet Kirstin on the street and say hello to Kirstin, but inside of Kirstin there are many systems, there is the respitory system, the lymphatic system, the circulatory system, the muscular system and many more and they are all doing different jobs and all working in harmony.
You also need to see the different mechanics of the system to understand your question.
If we don’t have a desire to receive, then we cannot fulfill the purpose of creation.
If the car doesn’t have gas, it cannot run, so the car needs an explosion to make the pistons turn.  But if the explosion is not controlled the entire car will blow up.  So yes we need and explosion, but only in the right place at the right time and under the right conditions and everything around the explosion must be perfect as well.
So we must receive in order to fulfill the purpose of creation, which is to receive endlessly from the Creator,however receiving makes us 100% opposite from the Creator and makes us as far from Him as east is from west.
So there is a correction on the creation that the vessel will not receive unless it receives with an intention to not receive for itself, which makes it 100% opposite to the Creator, but only to receive because the Creator wants to give, so on the level of the intention, the receiving is actually bestowing.
