Preparation Question: Our entire work in Kabbalah is only to attract the light that reforms. By this we receive everything we need for our advancement. Furthermore, I’m told that if I will help the others, I will advance myself even more towards spirituality. How does this work? What does it mean to help the others, those with the point in the heart, on the spiritual path?

No idea.. quite lost there..

Truthfully, I don’t know what this looks like at this point.  I understand that we are to be there for the friends in their spiritual development but I don’t know how personal this arrangement will be or what it entails.

Will we be discussing things which we are encountering in our everyday lives or restricting our discussions to kabbalistic texts?  How much of our time, energy and attention will be committed to the group work?  I’m excited to find out more but also a little concerned that I won’t be able to do a good job of it with a very busy work and family life.  I will do my best.

Maybe helping others is indirectly helping the part of me in them?

I have some theoretical ideas about the group and its purpose. Yet, I cannot imagine what would happen there. A group of people with a burning desire to see beyond and advance. The very first intention is to receive, and it’s o because we are made of “reception” material. I know that the “intention” software will run on “the will to receive” hardware. Helping others to become like the Creator and, in doing so, advance. But I really have no idea about it.

To help other without thinking about what I can get out of it.

How does this work? Being in the right environment (a group of like-minded friends) where our ego and point in the heart can expand. The analogy of the test tube helps with understanding the right environment where we put the ego and the point in the heart in a test tube and then mix in with other points in the heart, spiritual guidance and Kabbalistic resources to attract the light that reforms.

What does it mean to help the others? You help others by transforming your egoistic desire to receive for yourself into a desire to share; thereby, helping create a vessel to receive the light.
