How can we ever be satisfied if the pleasure always neutralizes our desire?

Faith above reason.

[Rune T. A.]

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”?

[John Caton]

Perhaps satisfaction is not an appropriate desire? That’s a question. If the only desires are to receive or to bestow, then it seems to me that satisfaction can never be achieved.

The only way to feel true satisfaction is to reach the spiritual world.

Pleasure neutralizing our desire…I receive much pleasure in learning about the wisdom of Kabbalah. As I always have when studying the Bible or other things related to humans and creation. This desire has not been neutralized. I pray I always thirst after Him.
