Preparation Question: What does it mean to connect with others? In what desire are we connected?

[Marcelo]

At this stage of our journey we only have a theoretical or intellectual notion of the meaning of: “Connection” according to the “Wisdom of Kabbalah”.

During the following weeks, under the guidance of our teachers and with the help of the books we are going to start participating in workshops where we are going to learn how to care for and attend to the need of those participating instead of our own.

In doing so, we will attract “LIGHT” and that “LIGHT” will be the “Force of Bestowal” among us. Bestowal cannot happen in  and within ourselves, it has to be directed to someone else. It is through this process that we are going to reshape the way we connect. Only then we will start attaining the meaning of connection with others. Only then,  through this connection, we will develop a  common “Kli” among us where we will start reuniting what was once shattered.

To connect with others is a process in which we align with other people with the point in the heart. We do this in order to receive the Upper Light for subsequent bestowal on each other.

[Marie]

To connect with others is to have the same desire, the same drive and intention to achieve a common goal, working together.

And the desire we are connected with is that of bestowal towards the other in the group selflessly to reveal the Creator.

[Donna]

We are making a spiritual connection with others which gives us the ability to bestow onto others and obtaining the upper light.

[Janae Ben-Shabat]

To “connect” with others is to participate in the spiritual repair (tikkun) of that vessel by restoring the unity among its fragments—our individual souls.

The desire in which we are connected is the desire to bestow, which is the very nature of the Creator. In contrast to our natural desire to receive for ourselves. We need to acquire the intention to give and love others unconditionally. This transformation—rising above the ego and developing the quality of bestowal—is where true connection occurs

When we align our desires to bestow with those of others on the same path, we form what the  a spiritual kli capable of receiving the light of unity, or Or Ein Sof. In this vessel, our seemingly separate desires are interwoven in a mutual intention, like organs in one body working together for the life of the whole.

Connection means to rise above the illusion of separation and egoism, and to recognize that our deepest fulfillment lies in the collective desire to return to our source through mutual love and responsibility. This is not merely a moral idea—it is the very structure of reality.

Well said!  🙂

We have the desire to “really” connect and feel the other, and in doing so, revealing the Creator.
