      Somehow we have to poke a hole in the bottom of the Klee to spill out the bestowal, so that we can continually be filled with pleasure

      I read in one of the text that “Everything comes from the Creator. In principle, only one thing comes out of the Creator; simple Light, total goodness. In our corrupted senses we feel it according to our equivalence with it, ranging from the total opposite, to what really is.”

      Faith above reason.

      I find the study of Kabbalah fulfills me (not compleetely as I am not happy about the world we have built so far). And also, to some extent, when I am in service of others and when I play music. Doing the things “I am meant/built to do”. Whenever I come astray for too long, I feel empty and/or soul-sick (if there is such a thing). It seems there is a clear path for me to follow but I just can’t stay on it 24/7, even though I think and feel that I understand what to do and in wich direction to go (knowing I have not understood it all). Pain always leads me back on track (though I still dream about not having to join a Ten, that maybe I can do it on my own). What would really satisfy and fulfill me, would be to see the whole of humanity engaged in life in such a manner that we lift each and everyone of us to the highest spiritual degree possible. I don’t think I can be truely happy before that. I can accept and understand that we are where we are for a reason and that there is a cause, but that does not make me as happy as I could be. Gratefull that I get to experience life and have oppertunity to grow ever more conscious, yes, but still, I feel there should be more than that…

      By changing our desires from self to others. truly wanting to give to others. but how do you change your desires to bestowal when you’re to busy with the necessities of life? too exhausted from caring for you’re immediate family/ household to even think of others? does your family then become or count as “others”?
