In order to match our intentions to the one of spiritual world we need to know what is the intention of the spiritual world … my question is how do I know or discover the intention of the spiritual world in any aspect of my spiritual reality in order for me to be sure that my intentions align with the spiritual world
Hi Bobby,
The spiritual world is composed of higher and higher levels of bestowal. But since bestowal is opposite to our nature, we don’t really have the ability to set such intentions. The best that we can do is just to try. When we try to have such aspirations, especially during the Kabbalistic studies or while doing spiritual work in the Kabbalistic group, these things evoke the light to work on us and gradually correct our aspirations. Then what started as a mere aspiration or even a game gradually becomes reality. And it’s all thanks to the light, we ourselves are powerless to correct ourselves with our own strength.

Is it correct to say that as a practice one should get used to seeing good and evil in life as a way for the creator to bring us closer to him ?
Google translate of the question:
You say that suffering is necessary as a necessary stage of growth. Is it the same for love? Is love achieved through suffering? What is Creator’s love like?
______________________
1. Suffering is a motivating force for our ego. To the extent that we remain in our ego, suffering becomes necessary to get us to do something. Without it, we would just agree to remain in our ego forever. But when we rise above our ego, we no longer need suffering to move forward.

2. Love is necessary for our growth. We see it even at the most basic corporeal level: babies that are not shown enough love can have all sorts of development delays and even mental health issues as adults.
3. There is something called “sufferings of love”. But it’s a sweet type of suffering. Check out this blog post from Rav Laitman for more details: https://laitman.com/2010/12/sweet-suffering-of-love/
4. As for the Creator’s love, it’s the desire to fulfill others. It’s similar to a mother wanting to feed her baby. This follows the saying that “more than the calf wants to eat, the cow wants to feed it”. So the Creator’s love is a huge desire to fulfill others.

I’m having difficulty with the concept of murder or rape or pedophelia and any horrible acts of humans upon other humans as being anything but evil. I really need help with this area.
Hi Sherry,
We learn from the Kabbalists that every single moment comes to us directly from the Creator, this is called “there is none else besides Him”. Furthermore, they also say that He is the “good that does good”. Meaning that every moment He is sending us nothing but goodness. But why then don’t we see this in our world? Why don’t we feel everything that is happening as something good?
This is because our world is governed by our egoistic nature. This egoistic nature is opposite to the Creator’s nature. Because of that, it inverts the Creator’s goodness into something bad. It’s just like multiplying numbers: a positive times a negative equals negative.
So as long as we remain within this egoistic nature, we will continue to see and feel more suffering and horrors in the world. But if we correct our nature to be similar to the Creator’s nature, then we will reveal the true reality in which only goodness exists, and our previous egoistic state would appear as nothing more than a dream.
