According to Kabbalah we are supposed to do altruistic things…how is it possible? Creator controls all of our lives.
If Creator controls, how can WE do altruistic things? Does this mean HE does both egoistic and altruistic things using us as his tools?
I can (inside of my …egoistic brain/meat nature) “agree” or disagree to do what creator wants me to do…is that so?
What exactly needs to be corrected. If not actions (as far as I understand they are “hardwired”, like the will to receive is my program) then how do I correct my intention? How long does it take to correct the intention….
Is there a difference between the intention and desire?
Is there a “formula” to track spiritual progress?
Thank you!
Aaron,
Wonderful scrutinies.
This process you are going through…wait, I’m a will to receive, the Creator made that…He wants me to bestow…how can I bestow…
This is very accurate. A monkey doesn’t ask these questions and most of the people all around you are also not asking these questions.
Through sorting these things and working day after day with the texts and in the kabbalistic society, you will arrive at answers. These kind of answers don’t slide into the ear, as it says, there is none so wise as the experiences. Specifically this process of sorting in your mind and your heart and the influence of the light from the texts and the study are what will build your inner spiritual structure.
Yes, there is a difference between intention and desire. Desire is what the Creator created. Intention is what we build in our work together to invert our intention from receiving in order to receive to receiving in order to give contentment to the Creator.
Instead of receiving like all the other animals, we build a relationship with the Creator and discover that He wants us to receive everything He created (of course we can’t receive everything in our 5 senses, so we need spiritual vessels), and we build that relationship with Him where we agree to receive it all in order to benefit Him, because He wants to benefit His “children” the created beings. Imagine that a small child is not feeling well and rejects the food the parent brings, the parent is bereft. But when the child receives what the parent prepared, the parent is happy.

Is there any pragmatic tool with wich we can measure degree of our ascension, like awakening Point of Light a.k.a birth of our Soul is 1/125?
Thank you.
Nikola,
You can reach out your hand in the dark and know if you are putting your hand into snow or into peanut butter. You know because you feel.
When your spiritual senses are developed you will have pragmatic tools to feel and measure where you are.
This takes place in the rosh of the partzuf where the spiritual creature measures, between the two primordial forces, 1. her own will to receive and 2. the Creator’s will to bestow and 3. the relation between them.

Can you give an example in real life on how to accept the gifts of the Creator on a day to day basis without getting my brain cells all twisted? For example; I am eating this delicious mango my Creator has so kindly given me. I am eating it with all my attention while giving thanks and enjoying each bite knowing that I am eating this mango for my Creator who is enjoying me enjoying this mango. Another example is I am doing this task for my employer with a light heart no matter how difficult it is knowing that I am doing this task for my Creator who is enjoying me carrying out the task with a light heart and enjoying the process.  I am looking for a simple way on how to do this on a practical day to day minute to minute basis with the awareness that whatever I am doing it is the Creator who is allowing me to do anything; therefore, I am doing I am carrying out every task with a joy-full heart to give my Creator the pleasure of giving and, me the pleasure of receiving. I know my understanding is kind of simple minded but I need something more tangible to understand and practice the teaching.
Melanie,
🙂 we don’t have an online store where you can buy a charm or a secret mantra to repeat and then everything that you will do will be for the sake of the Creator.
Imagine that you have a daughter and she wants to dance so you take her to dance class. And she is dancing on the first day. You can call it dance and you can call the exercises that we are doing today like connecting to the Creator.
So think of taking your daughter to dance class several times a week every week, summer, winter, spring, fall, driving to performances. She is at home practicing in her room. You go to watch other professional dancers and then, when your daughter is 20 she is accepted into the prestigious dance academy.
She was a dancer when she was 5 and she is a dancer when she is 20.
To dance is to dance, but you can understand how many hours of investment and effort she has made so when she spins now it is not the same spin as she made then, etc..
We will study the sources and draw the lights upon us that change us, we will do work in our spiritual environment to learn how to love above our differences and through all of these processes we will discover the Creator and how to relate to him.
Continue on with your exercises and exert in your study and to fulfill what we are learning and soon you will start to feel changes.

So the intention ” I do this completely to fulfill the Creator” this in turn will bring the creature joy?
Jeffrey,
You are talking about a material creature who receives pleasures from this world.
As long as a creature in this world is filled with pleasures than that creature will not develop.
So after the fulfillment, the light leaves the vessels and this causes a yearning in the vessel for fulfillement and person goes through many incarnations trying to fill this emptiness, wealth, family, honor, knowledge, power, etc.
Until a person despairs of being able to fill himself in this world and then a desire for something eternal awakens in him.
This is seed of spiritual joy. Now we have an opportunity to be filled with love from our relationship to the Giver, from whom all pleasures come.
