To dedicate our life to the pursuit of the methods in Kabbalah to correct ourselves and return to the collective soul. To also understand and acknowledge that we are not alone in this journey and need to connect with others to assist one and all in this advancement. In this manner we can not only help ourselves individually but also assist in the development of a world more conducive to this process for each one of us.
It seems like the only worthwhile thing anyone can do is pursue a connection to the Upper Force, the source of eternal fulfillment. All other desires and fulfillments are transient.
And since it is not quite clear what this connection feels like or means to someone locked into the corporeal world, the entire aim of our life and all of our efforts should be concentrated on this alone.
I’m not quite sure as this is all brand new thinking for me, but I’m getting that, if our inclination is the egoist way, then I should seek to be one with the Creator and whenever I encounter people, guard my reaction to them to put aside the ego and choose be be like the Creator by bestowing on them what brings them pleasure, whether or not they know or recognize what I have done for them. It will be easier to do with people who are good and kind, but difficult with those who have abused me or taken advantage of me. Still, they are on a journey of correction, and by perceiving them in that way, I will no longer take it personally that I have been abused by them. I will work through whatever my reactions may be and surrender them to the Creator by choosing love and an attitude of bestowal of good upon them, loving them as I would myself. It is hard, but I am practiced at this, though I have never heard of Kabbalism until recently.
