May I ask, when we say Nature is adhered to the creator is it just that I live in a box that is limited by perception and what I see as the food chain and apex predators is because of my misperception and lack of seeing the world how it truly is at the level of roots and perhaps my programming from seeing this world in this way from our education. In reality at the level where intention is everything the animals are perfectly aligned? Thank you for any guidance you may share.
Hi Liz,
Yes, you can say that. Essentially nature is in perfect balance. It’s the uncorrected human ego within nature that ultimately causes all the destruction and throws off the balance in nature.

I am probably completely off key but I find it all overwhelmingly sad – the death of someone in tragic circumstances, the suffering physically and emotionally, that of humans, animals and the planet – it falls upon us to see it differently and internalise it with acceptance. It feels to me as a momentous task as we are merely human. (fallen). Yet after a lifetime of searching (probably lifetimes), I deeply believe that one has to bask in the ‘ Thy will is my will’. My experience is that breathing it in deeply fills me and enables me to celebrate tiny gifts but the process of living it feels like a scalding forge.
Hi Charlene,
We’ll learn in the lesson on the perception of reality that the external world is a reflection of my own internal world. If I’m not corrected, I will see in front of me an uncorrected world full of suffering. If I correct myself, I’ll look at the same world and the same people, but now they will appear the opposite.
It’s like I have these dirty glasses through which I see the whole world as dirty. The moment I clean my own glasses, I’ll look at the same world, but now it’s clean and perfect.
So when we correct ourselves, we’ll reveal the true reality in which only goodness exists, and that our previous egoistic perception was nothing more than a dream.

Likewise with life and death, as we develop spiritually and begin to reveal the reality outside of our ego, our attitude to life and death will change.

Hi Tiiu,
Our very nature is egoistic. Just like a PC cannot just reprogram itself to run as a Mac, we too cannot just change our own nature or correct our own desires. We need outside help for this.
This help comes to us from the light. It’s a special force that has the ability to correct us. Our work boils down to extracting more and more of this light, especially through the Kabbalistic studies, and it does all the rest.
