Hello & thank you for your feedback,
In the video ‘defining the goal’ at min 20:58 Tony says to ‘make the effort an experiment’. My question is can I adopt this as an attitude when I come up against the will to receive, or my members wrestling with me to continue to move forward?
If one offers the awakening from below (prayer), acts, and remedies in order to obtain Lishma, then receives Lishma, is that called receiving “the burden(?) of (the Kingdom of) Heaven?” Why is it considered a burden? Why isn’t it considered good; it comes from the Creator.
Matanah,
Of course it is good.
The ego isn’t so thrilled about the situation. He doesn’t know how he’s going to get paid if everything is for the sake of the Creator and not for him.

Can I please have more explanation about the practical tip “try and let the environment influence you”? I thought we are influenced by it from default, what else can I try and let?
Eva,
If I go to see a concert, I can be impressed by the band. But if I’m a business man, maybe I’m counting seats multiplied by the number of dollars per ticket multiplied by the cost of t-shirts and thinking of if this is a good business to go into.
If I’m the guy selling hot dogs I’m thinking how many hot dogs can I sell.
So we are “in” the environment, but in what way am I influenced. And to what degree have I placed myself in the environment.
I can be the usher showing people to their seats and I’m in the concert hall every night but I don’t have an emotional experience.
Where are you? How are have you planted yourself in the spiritual environment? What is the goal you hope to achieve by being in this environment?
These questions are for you to ask yourself. You are an artist in the spiritual realm. A slogan such as “let the environment influence you” is a slogan, but what does it mean, what are the nuances, where is the investment of inner power? Think about it. Work on it.
You’ll see how it works from your own experience.
Seth@KabUThank you, analogies help me understand things better. I just see myself both in the spiritual environment and everyday life, and the lines are blurry, I am still mixing up these environments. I am working on this to the best of my abilities, mostly just watching my feelings and where are they leading me.
