      The will to receive and the will to bestow seem to be aspects of loving. So loving is the way to get in touch with the upper force

      By aligning ourselves with the general force that’s around us.. is that right?

      Get to know ourselves and ask the Creator for help to correct our desires.

      I think getting in touch with the upper force begins with working on our inner intention of shifting from acting for ourselves to acting with more awareness of others. When I try to respond with more patience, understanding, or a desire to connect, it feels like I’m aligning more with that force. Acting mutually, to me, means not just asking for connection, but also trying to live it in small, everyday moment – through how I relate to people and situations.

        Lately, I’ve felt overwhelming gratitude infuse me with Divine Light. Just now it seems that the more grateful I feel, the more I have to be grateful for.

      A theory: realize that a Kether force is not just a giver but a receiver of light.  The first step away from the light and presence of the Creator is when we stop wanting to receive and want to give.  And at first it seems like a good thing.  We want to take responsibility; we want to be in control.

      But the truth is we stop wanting to receive because we feel obligated to those who help us. We stop wanting to receive because we don’t want to give back.  We feel separation from the Creator.  In feeling separation, we don’t want to have to give back.  It is a selfish act.  An act of not wanting to be a part of the Creator.  And this is our first step away.

      The rest of the steps are a crescendo of the result of the first decision to separate, and by so doing showing our desire not to be a part of the Creator and thereby continue our fall.

      Ultimately, I suspect, we find once again that receiving only is not satisfying.  We accept reception from the Kether while at the same moment being willing to and especially desirous of returning with passion the light that we are receiving.  When we both want to give and to receive do we once again attain a place with the Kether that we have been missing since separation.
