      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.

      I have been practicing this for a while now, especially with family but of course I get resistance from the other person, I deal with it in a way where I don’t get upset or angry by there responses etc. I salute the divinity within and send lots of love and abundance their way. I also realise that not everyone is where I am spiritually and that I have to make allowances for their behavior. I ask God for guidance and to strengthen me in all aspects of my life. Is this how to handle these situations?
      Thank You 🙏

        Sue,
        We are talking about the work in the heart.  In the heart you can do all kinds of actions, but on the outside, if you keep giving and the other keeps taking, at some point you will have empty pockets.
        We start the practical work of kabbalah in the group of friends who are studying together with us and learn how and develop these spiritual senses and later we will learn how to expand to wider and wider circles.

      In mainstream advice we are constantly warned against giving from an empty well.  I see now how, because we are aligned with the creator that our well is never empty.

      As a parent who is now seeing the effects of years of being out of contact with the creator, I am finding parenting both more joyful but also challenging.  My learning here has thrown into light how I need to become a better guide for my children, and how that will be against mainstream ways.  I am confident in my ability to navigate this thanks to this course.

      My question is: When children are learning but are still acting from the will to receive, how do we ensure that our will to bestow and love our neighbour isn’t fuelling their ego? Is it that if we see a genuine need then we should aim to fulfil that need but if the need is actually a ‘want’ driven by ego then we should then shift to counsel?

        Victoria,
        We should be very happy if our children are growing up as little egoists, hiding and seeking and peek a booing and learning how to manage their chores and get you approval or an allowance, etc.  If they stayed small and didn’t develop, we would be worried!
        The best thing to do is to lead by example.  You can…if there is an opportunity to discuss something simple, in their language, but the best is to be a living example of the balance between a healthy egoist who works, takes care of the home, is a proud parent, is healthy, keeps them accountable and also who shows them unconditional love.

      Hello. I am catching up on my studies, and I still am curious to know in which ways I may practice the Will to Bestow, in so I may grow towards the Creator, and away from my own worldly thoughts of “love thy neighbor”, for instance, attempting to be a “good” person, or practicing “good” acts?

        Dina,

        First things first discover how the will to receive that the Creator created is operating you and everyone and everything around you.

        See it, feel it and speak to the Creator like your best friend, tell Him you see what He made and tell Him that you want to be able to work only out of love and not to receive reward for yourself.

        Return to this again and again.

        I look forward to hearing about your success!

      The Bible says we were all born in iniquity (Psalm 51:5).  What does this verse mean in Kabbalah?

        Bonnie,
        The Creator is all light in all directions eternally and equally.
        He desired to create a creature and fill it with all of that abundance.  This is called the purpose of creation.
        So, He created the will to receive, a desire to receive all of that abundance.
        We are the pinnacle of that desire, completely opposite from the Creator but capable of receiving His abundance.
        Everything was done by Him, there is no one who can do anything against Him.
        Now we are learning to correct our first nature.  That is called the correction of creation.
        Then we will be able to receive all of His abundance without being separated from Him.
        We will learn the details of this together in the future.
