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?

Does the Light have to be (for lack of better terminology) filtered down through most or all of the Sefirot before it works on the point in the heart?

I think the universe has send me someone to help, I have been trying to tell him that he has the desire the point of the heart, he just has to nurture that desire by practicing daily with family members who is he is having issues with.

“The light” is an influence of the upper force. “Reforms” insinuates correction and movement toward equivalence of form.  By participating and engaging with fellow points in the heart, kabbalistic texts and a guide/ teacher, we attract the light that reforms. If helping others accentuates the effects of the upper force, then there must be some element that is congruent with the creator’s quality. The creator’s quality is of bestowal, unconditional and unlimited fulfilment, connection, and love. When we aim to help friends, a few processes occur:
1. we recognize they are part of us, the one soul of Adam Ha-Rishon that was shattered, and it is our responsibility to aspire toward connection. We appreciate the friends as part of ourselves.
2. Despite our egoistic tendencies, we can work above the ego by utilizing the intention to bestow and faith above reason
3. By intending to bestow greatness to the friends, we emulate the quality of the upper light. By helping the friends progress along the spiritual path, we are all uplifted.

“The eye can’t see itself,” so we need the other(s) to give us information and feedback where and how to change and transform ourselves to become better and more spiritual humans.

[Gabrielle]

When we help others, we are striving to reach equivalence in form with the Creator together in connection.

[Toni Peltonen]

By working together we amplify our desires, everyone in the group gets all the desires in the group. If I remember correctly this generation is supposed to enter spirituality together, it can’t be done separately.
