      On one level, students of Kabbalah are connected by their mutual desire for spiritual truth and direct experience of the upper force. But on a broader scale, we are connected by our desire to receive.  When we interact with others on the basis of our own desires there is no actual connection occurring; there is merely conditioned interaction between egos. In order to actually connect with others, it is essential that we set aside our own desire to receive in favour of emphasizing the desires of others. The degree to which we are able to elevate the desires of others above our own dictates the degree to which we can really connect with them.

      We connect to each other through one single, common unifying thought.  We connect by all wanting the same thing, recognizing it can only be attained by working together.

      All people share the desire for well-being.  At some point in one’s development, it becomes possible to recognize this as the desire for intimacy with the creator.

      Shalom 🙂

      I don’t think connection can be forced.  I believe it is a natural flow and that the upper force is instrumental in bringing the right people together in divine timing.  The same force is responsible for putting others into isolation, if that is required for Soul growth, and for ending connections, if that is required for Soul growth. I believe we are interchangeably each others teachers and students.

      TEACHER

      A teacher is a higher, wiser place in all of us

      whom we gain access to

      when we start

      questioning and understanding

      The Ego.
