Giving of the gift and talents that God bestowed upon me is and has always been way of life. However, I never understood why this was an integral part of my life. Perhaps, asking “why”  I’m now  aware the “light” has guided me  at this moment in my life, is of little concern. I’m “Thankful”!!!
Instead, I choose to remain an Open vessel receiving the light with Gratitude and Thanksgiving from my Creator-God; with the desire of continued  Spiritual Growth.
Hi,
It is said we don’t have to change anything in our everyday life. But how can we correct our desires this way? Is everything depends on our intentions? I’ve listened this lesson many times, but i’m still confused what to do.
Gabor,
This material takes a little bit of time to work on us.
It is not that we just hear an answer and then that’s the end of the story.
The kabbalists are guiding us and it is up to us to work to fulfill what they are showing us.
Maybe I give a gift to someone but in my heart I feel envy and hatred.
Maybe I give a gift to someone and in my heart is overflowing love.
Maybe I drive to work and I think only of myself.
Maybe I drive to work and while I do I thinking and praying for the good of others.
We will learn about this more in the future.

I was at a Christian church this morning and the service was about prayer.  The service went over Jesus in Gethsemane and his prayer that not his will be done but the will of the creator. The whole service was about the creators will be done and not the creation.  It was exactly this message about changing egoism to altruism.  Arguably, the self sacrifice of Jesus brought billions into ‘religion’. And religion is how many start their relationship with the creator.  It did for me, until it wasn’t enough.  I dont feel many inconsistencies in my heart between the two teachings.  Where do the teachings diverge, not on a dogma level, but on a core heart level?
David,
I’m going to leave that up to you to decide and discover.
I can write pages about the difference, but that won’t help you.
Here you found a method, a practical, pragmatic, realistic method, a well worn path that the kabbalists traversed and wrote about so that we can follow after them.
Here is a blog post by our teacher, the kabbalist Rav Laitman.
Also at the bottom of the post you will find links to other posts and you can enjoy the process of discovery as you wish.
Keep in mind, we are not trying to convince anyone at any church or anywhere about what we are studying, we only make the method available, but to a person who must have it, who desires it, who finds it and needs it. There is no coercion in spirituality, only desire.

Good luck!

Is there a typical path for progressing in the understanding of the Wisdom of Kabbalah?  I am very committed because the teachings are really answering a call within me.  Should I expect a couple of years of study before I feel I’m truly getting somewhere with the teachings?
Lora,
This depends on your preparation, your effort, on luck :), many things.
The path is well defined and simple.
And the material is learned very naturally.
Participate in these courses and digest the material, this is like breast milk or mashed peas and apple sauce. It is the very simple primary nutrients to progress to really chewing the material, digesting it, making it a part of you.
Make a consistent framework that you can stick with in your life.
Not more than you can comfortably commit to.
Start with something that you can keep.
You will build on that.
You’ll look back in a month, a few months, you’ll see already how much you understand, how much you are developing, how you feel connected to some upper system.
