My private correction within the system will be in the group of 10. I will be discerning my corrections of my ego and then sharing that with the ten, in a corrected way. In private I will be finding my evil inclination and then coming to the ten with it corrected. Faking it until I make it or acting in a corrected manner until it becomes real.
How is spreading the wisdom of Kabbalah related to fulfilling my private correction in the general system?
By correcting myself and doing my part I am integrating my soul in with all the other souls who are all trying to achieve adhesion/dvekut with the Creator. If we strive to achieve this goal of equivalence of form with the Creator using the texts, teachers and group, we can reunite into the collective soul. This will set an example and make it easier for the rest of the world to follow.
When I want to bestow instead of receiving for my own sake, I discover I actually can’t do it, since my nature as a created being is only the desire to receive. When I want to connect to others, to care for them, to fulfill their needs first, I find that I am not able to do that.
Then I pray to the Creator and I ask Him for correction, so He allows me to be of the same quality of bestowing, to be similar to Him. This attracts the action of the reforming Light on me.
The means of strengthening the influence of the reforming Light on us is the teacher, the books, and the environment (the friends, the ten, the lab, the workshop).
It helps us to feel more connected, to enlarge our perspective of who we are, to become more loving and tolerant. By being more aware of our attitude towards others and ourselves we become humbler and accepting of what is. As we develop our desire to help others we resonnate more with our sourroundings. We may well encounter less obstacles to our ‘altruistic’ projects, or face less animosity towards ourselves. As we observe the world change we introspect and see where we would like to amend our oulook on the world. It seems gradually more plausible that our perception of the world around us is truly a projection of our limited ego-mind. Of course we can not grasp the exact way in which we distort reality, but every time we uncover a delusion it fills us not with shame but relief. Deconstructing our reality tunnel lets the surrounding light filter through. As we peep through the cracks of our shattered belief system we start to see for ourselves that there is a larger reality looming out there, or rather in ourselves. In any case our desire to communicate our experiences and observations in a concise and clear manner will grow. The effort to do so may fail at times, but as we persevere in our effort to convey our love for life that feeling becomes more concrete, making it easier for us to grasp our aim more firmly. Daily practice hones the skill, perseverance eventually leads to longer flow states of joy, inspiration and communicability. Time thus starts to work in favour of us. With the help of a congenial community the spiritual way of expressing the message of love and unity opens up. Thank you for providing a safe space for practicing to open up and start speaking our heart.
