hi
what is the best way to practice in your heart to love your neighbor as yourself. I work with people all day as a therapist so I understand how to have positive regard for others, but I can’t say “I love them” what would be the best strategy to actually have this feeling in my heart–authentically?Yvette,
After the self study classes you will have the opportunity to work practically with other students like yourself and there we will do exercises to apply these things.
Now we can imagine what it means and try, but certainly we are not trying to do this just regularly in the street or at work with people who don’t know what inner process we are engaged in, people would think we were crazy or take advantage of us.

György,
It depends on who you ask.
I grew up in the 1980’s and all of the songs were about love. When I grew up, I googled some of those people…almost all of them were divorced 2 or three times!!!
Unfortunately my generation listened to them about what is “love”.
On the other hand, the kabbalist is talking about a force that comes from the Creator that is 100% giving without expecting anything in return, we can call it unconditional giving, but it is much more. How can a child understand the love of his parent. Multiply that by infinity….there is no way for us to comprehend what is the love of the Creator toward us, however, we can detect our own nature which is 100% that everything we do we do so that we personally will benefit and we can begin to imagine that somewhow, with some additional force given from Above that we will be able to do something, to bestow upon others without my ego involved, to be somehow like the Creator, to feel what He feels, free, unbounded, eternal, fulfilled.

Hi, I have been struggling to achieve
Simple things for days last week. I did try
to force and the result was that I lost time
and money. When I woke up from this state
Of complete fog, I realised how much not accepting facts leads to struggles.
in fact I don’t know if I am tested to see if I am giving up to easily (if I self sabotage my project when it becomes complicated), or if it’s just that the creator wants to redirect me on the right path for me ?
Second question:
How can I apply what I learn in my daily life: should I pray for the creator to give me clarity? Should I be aware of my intentions before saying or doing something?
Thank youBasma,
For simple things in life, you need to be like a regular person. If you don’t pay the bill on time, you will get late fees. There is nothing spiritual about that. It is like if you spill milk in the kitchen then the kitchen is dirty. If you don’t clean it up then it is dirty and smelly. And then it will become more and more rotten, until you decide to clean it or live with rotten milk in your kitchen.
This is not corporeal. This is the same for all animals. Look at how much time a cat takes to groom himself or how much time a bird takes to make a nest. Every creature has to take care of the regular, simple life things, you can talk about self sabotage and other things, but gravity does not wait for anyone.
Now regarding spirituality, always pray, when the milk spills, when the milk doesn’t spill, when you are early and when you are late, always talk to the Creator like He is your best friend and tell Him that you want Him to guide you, to help you, to open up your spiritual eyes to see where He wants you to go, try to speak to Him more and more.
Good luck!

Bonjour, est-ce que le don sans réserve est incompatible avec la gentillesse ?
Le don sans réserve est-il juste une question d’intention ? Si oui, est-ce que l’empathie qui me fait donner, nourrir,
encourager… est égoïste ?
Basma,
We are egoists. If we give, if we are empathetic, it is because it bothers us or hurts us if we do not do that. Some people are born that they prefer to be kind. But that is the shape of their ego. That is not something spiritual.
Something spiritual is something additional that we acquire during our lives on the spiritual path, it is a second nature, not the one that we are born with.
We will learn about this in great detail together over the next few months and years.

Regarding the analogy of giving the chair, if your friend wants to be like the creator and gives the chair back are both you & your friend not stuck in a giving paradox loop as neither want to be in a state of wilful receiving?
Jonathan,
So receive the chair from your friend so that you can fulfill his desire.
In our work, we are not talking about who is sitting and who is standing we are talking about the inner motion.
A person can give something to another but do it in order to deceive them.
So in your example, by you receiving the chair you are fulfilling/giving to your friend since he wants to give.
