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?
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…?
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.

¿Dónde puedo encontrar el plano o croquis (blueprint) mediante el cual pueda comprender el propósito que el Creador tiene para mi existencia?

Where can I find the blueprint through which I can understand the Creator’s purpose for my existence?

Hi Enrique,
The general purpose for all of us is to reach adhesion with the Creator.

Our own personal role in that process of reaching adhesion with the Creator, depends on the root of our soul.

¿Cómo puedo entrenarme para discernir entre el camino del Sufrimiento y el camino de la luz, de manera tal que mis decisiones se adecuen al pensamiento de la Creación, es decir, que se correspondan con el plan de Dios?
google translation of the question:
How can I train myself to discern between the path of suffering and the path of light, so that my decisions are in line with the thought of Creation, that is, in accordance with God’s plan?

Hi Enrique,
We don’t make that choice 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.
