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?

      Still confused I am when you say : love your neighbor  as yourself. This contradiction , that I  love myself and being altruistic  meanwhile. What’s egoism than?

      Could it be that I need to take care for my self and being  responsible for me and the other? I see it too much physically. I don’t know how to see it differently…

      We’re to connect with others by incorporating their desires as our desires, seeing them not as separate but as ourself. This correction through connection reveals the Creator between us and draws the Light that reforms. This is the practical means by which we begin to love our neighbor as ourself.

      On one level it is the “others” in your group. You are working with the others in your group to mutual benefit. In order for the entire group to grow. On another level it is “all” others. What the group is doing will benefit all of mankind.

      We are not separated. Thus my goal in life is to be able to understand the needs of others so I can be a blessing to others. By giving of myself to others I give to the Creator and I become one with Him. The more I give to others the more I give to Him. The more I give to Him the closer I am to Him and to others. The closer I get to the Creator the more I become like Him.

      I believe that by working in a group and changing my intention from drawing the light toward myself to wanting my friends to receive the light and striving for a loving connection with them, I draw nearer to the Creator and share in the light from my efforts to bestow on others.  In normal english terms, I must seek to love and give to others that which I desire most; it is a requirement to fulfilling the purpose of my life.

      Through the Others I experience the Creator, the only force driving everything that has been created.

      There is no separation between me and the Others, the Friends. Because of this unity I have to love them as myself. That same unity will build the Vessel of all desires.
