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?

By keeping in mind that “There Is None Else Beside Him” at all times and by always trying to build love instead of building conflict.

In working with a group towards the same goal, many things happen. We start to see the interconnectedness of each other, that we truly share the human condition and see ourselves in the other friend. We build compassion towards each other and share a common goal that is above ourselves. When our friend is down, we raise them. When we are down they raise us, and it’s all for a single advancement to the upper levels and connect with the Creator

Happiness begins from the moment you do something for others. Those who consistently help others, are happy, and do not come across any obstacles in their lives. Research indicates that they are less stressed and experience improved mental health. The purpose of life is to serve others. However, when doing so, you should not expect something in return; your intention should be to lessen other people’s misery.

When we help others on the path, we are doing what the Creator wants us to do. That is bestowing when we help others, and this pleases the Creator. And we also receive pleasure from helping others.

[Peter]

We must recognize that the Creator only reveals himself through the connections between us.

By opening up and discussing Kabbalah with others, I give them and myself a better way to learn about how our egos work. This will help with conceptualizing our intents and how they pertain to the goal of receiving in order to bestow. Rather than just trying to change our egoistic nature on our own, which is akin to a dog chasing its own tail, we have another with a point of the heart witch which we can discuss and see things we might not be able to see on our own. Ultimately I would say that helping means being an honest and caring presence to interact with while straining to move ourselves up the ladder towards higher places together.
