Is the choice between the Path of Light and the Path of Suffering our only real choice in life?  And is this a choice everyone can make?

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

Hi Robert,

1. It is our main choice in life, but we don’t make it directly. Rather we choose to place ourselves in a strong spiritual environment, and as a result of that choice, we have the strength to advance by the path of light.

It’s like with a seed. If we plant it in fertile ground, then it’ll get all the right nutrients and grow. If we put it in the desert or just keep it on a shelf somewhere, nothing will come out of it at all. So all of our work boils down to finding the best spiritual environment in which to plant that seed. And what will ultimately happen to that seed is a result of the environment we put it into. We’ll learn more about this in the next semester, when we study the topic of freedom.

2. Without an active point in the heart, a person has no interest in advancing spiritually on the path of light.

So often i try to really think about intention in the things i do but i have come to find it is not as easy as it looks… to get to the real deepest intention in it. Is there specific ways to train this?

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

Hi Koriander,

Our nature is egoistic. So whatever intention towards bestowal we try to set, it’ll just be corrupted by that egoistic nature. So first of all we need to correct this egoistic nature.

We do this through the light. The light is a special force that can correct our nature. Our work boils down to extracting more and more of the light, especially during the Kabbalistic studies, and it performs all the necessary corrections on us.

What has to happen,  that someone steps on the path of wisdom? Is this our conscious choice? If not, are we “forced” to step on the path of wisdom, so that we become sick,  we get cancer, etc…?

[Albert – KabU Instructor]

Hi Petra,

There are two paths of development: the path of light and the path of suffering.

The path of light means that we develop consciously under the influence of the light.

Whereas the path of suffering is an inactive form of development, where we wait for sufferings to accumulate until we start to move. It’s like a child that refuses to go to school, so the parents put more and more pressures on him until he agrees to go.

But keep in mind that we don’t really advance on the path of suffering. Since pressuring and punishing a child is not the same as educating him. So after all of the pressures and punishments they put on him, he will still have to go to school and get his education.
