      I understand we need to receive to please the giver (The Creator).

      like me here asking a question to fulfill ny duty as a receiver of this info and please the instructor who gave this lesson.

      now I understand my mom when she says seeing us finish the excessive food she prepared makes her happy.

      But sometimes the food given by the host is sour, do we still need to eat it ?

      is it necessary to savor and take like a champ what is given to us in life by the creator but its perceived as hardship to fulfill our duty as receiver?

      also, can I skip to be a giver completely and skip the learn to receive step? I assume no but just asking for reassurance

        Nat,
        If you engage in the path correctly and make sufficient effort, you will become an artisan, a craftsman of the soul.
        As in any craft, whether it is sculpture, music, painting, there is much nauance.
        If someone made you food that is terrible to the taste, the correction may not be to eat the food, we are not giving advice on each and every detail of how to eat and what to eat and when to eat.
        We will help you learn the structure of reality and then you will do the work to discover all of this and by doing so, you will build your inner world to be like the Creator.

        You (and me and all of creation) are created as receivers.  That’s what you are.  How are you going to get around that?
        You don’t need to breathe, to eat, you have no thoughts to satisfy yourself?
        The question should be, how do I use what the Creator gave me in order to reach the goal that He set before me and desires of me.

      How do you know if you’ve penetrated the initial barrier into the spiritual world? What are the tell-tale signs of doing so?

      How can we distinguish between if our action is to bestow from if of our action is just a people pleasing behavior?

        Donna,
        When our heart feels the other as our own body, as our own self and we want to fulfill the other as effortlessly as we want to satisfy ourselves, that is a sign of bestowal.

      How can the spiritual have no effect on the physical when from my understanding the spiritual gives birth and is before/ the cause of the physical? If we are the branches and living in the branches that are corporeal realm, then how would the spiritual roots that the corporeal branches stem from not be influenced by them?

        Ricky,
        This is a fair question.
        The shortest answer would be like saying that the king presses his ring into the hot wax to imprint his seal.
        The wax now takes the exact shape of the kings ring, although in opposite form, but the form in the wax and the changes in the wax in no way affect the king and his ring.
        The longer explanation and a more thorough understand will come from studying the perception of reality, which we will go into more depth later.  We need to understand how we depict this reality in our senses and why it is depicted in such a way.  As we learn our true nature and the nature of the reality we are in, we discover where is that place that we can touch something eternal from this reality.

      I feel like I have a grasp on the difference of intelligence and attainment. But to drive it home , this level of attainment that’s being spoken of regarding the language of the Kabbalah. The way we gaining quality or sense is through something that cannot be named ? Or what is it called? Is it because it can’t be explained through words it’s something we have to feel to know that we attained ? When they Say we can’t use our intellect/intelligence to gain attainment, then technically speaking is the process for attainment experience? By experiencing gives us wisdom and through wisdom we attain attainment?

        Ricky,
        In this world a baby is born with all of the parts, but doesn’t use them yet.
        Maybe he will be the best dancer or a beautiful singer, maybe he will become the father of the next Einstein, but while all of these parts are on the baby, they are not in a state katnut.  Later when the baby develops, he will be in a state called gadlut.
        I’m using a corporeal example to describe a spiritual phenomenon.
        To be more accurate, first we need to be born into the spiritual world, which like a birth in our world, the baby has to turn upside down so the head is down, meaning the intellect goes back to zero to be born on the next degree.
        There are many secrets in the processes of birth and embryo, etc.
