Ask anything about week 3 lesson and materials and get an answer from a senior Kabbalah instructor.

¿Cómo puedo mejorar mi comprensión del Creador y de mis deseos para pedirle al Creador que los corrija? ¿Hay acaso alguna metódica o procedimiento que contribuya a propiciar mi discernimiento del Creador y de mis deseos, a fin de pedirle yo luego al Creador que los corrija?

Am I correct in thinking that this kind of down cast feeling I’m having is just part of the process, since truly, I have no actual reason to feel this way.

What do you tell your parents who are in their mid-80’s and going through some health issues, who have no religious background and knows very little about “God”, the meaning of their life at this stage? since in their eyes (and in most people’s eyes), what’s left are mostly sufferings and little hope?

I understand that everything that happens is the Will of the Creator, even when it appears negative to our egoistic selves. I understand that prayer is a means of connecting with the Creator, as a way of aligning ourselves with Him. Prayer for self or others will not change the outcome; such prayer is an expression of our egoistic nature. This is not a bad thing, per se, because we were created with an egoistic nature, and in such an activity, we are simply expressing that nature. There is no point in admonishing a cat for meowing; that is its nature! But the mere act of prayer is a means by which we grease the skids, as it were, for communicating with the Creator. Does that sound right?

Tony mentioned when you work in the middle line, you are neither controlled by the will to receive or by the creator, but aren’t we always controlled by the creator?

[Yusbel]

What is a good way to use the ego?

Is the ego the driving force behind defending a believe or view point?

I understand that a bad usage is when used for self interest at the expense of others.

[Seth – KabU Instructor]

Yusbel,
The will to receive is the will to receive, you can’t escape that, we need to receive air, water, food, sustenance.
First things first, before we start correcting anything, let’s identify where we see that we are not just receiving but receiving at the expense of the other.  Later we’ll begin to understand what to do with that, but first we need to identify where we will be working.
