We learn from the study of perception of reality that the world I see is a projection of my own qualities, which for now, they seem external, and compared to me, they seem relatively unreal, and certainly unimportant. But they’re me, my qualities. I don’t see this truth, and I don’t feel it, nor do I really believe it – I can’t. But there are exercises, in a specific group, where everyone is trying to do it, by which I can start to feel that that externality is my internality, even my closest and dearest qualities, much closer to me than I am to myself right now.
Hello instructor,
In Video 4.2 – You Get Back What You Invest! [at time stamp 04:04] , Instructor Julian said:
“We’re tasting it with our senses and we’re enjoying that food which is pulling us into our centers, into our body, into ourselves, and at the same time we are trying to stay on that spiritual intention. We’re trying to think that we are receiving this pleasure, but we’re doing it for our friends, that we’re trying to externalize ourselves, and at the same time we’re feeling the pleasure. This inner dichotomy is not a battle. It’s not about suffering, but there is an inner play here.”
I believe this whole paragraph is about Malchut’s decision to not receiving any light for self pleasure except for bestowal. My question is about “to externalize ourselves” in “we’re doing it for our friends, that we’re trying to externalize ourselves”, what does “externalize ourselves” mean? What exactly was being externalized there?

Thank you!
We are trying although it’s impossible to behave internally as though my friends in the group are me, the real me even. How much would I be focussed on their enjoyment instead of the enjoyment by the person I currently identify as? We do this because this is the attitude of the Upper Force, who’s quality is bestowal and not reception; and we come to feel this Upper Force only through already being in Equivalence of Form with it. This is one of the possible exercises, and exercises with the right intention awaken the Reforming Light, which can make these changes in us, make them real.
