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

[csilla]

i think the lessons thus far have said that the type of connection to others entails acknowledging their concerns and letting them know and feel that i really do care about their concerns, which means they see in me someone they can trust and the connection from me to the other person is maintained, which over time deepens. Likewise, if another person acts toward me in that way, i begin to feel and consider that person trustworthy and in that regard i allow myself to feel connected ‘back’ to them incrementally, in proportion to their continued standpoint of altruistic concern (which, unfortunately may drop off soon after a certain degree of trust is reciprocated.);  the common plight, the common desire, would be in everyone’s desire to be distanced from egotism and attain higher levels of spiritual experience.

To connect with others means working together to correct our intentions from receiving in order to receive, to receive in order to bestow. We are connected by the will to bestow in shared desires of wills to receive that need corrections.

Connecting with one another means that we are all part of a single whole.

As Jesus said, “blessed are the poor in spirit.”  Literally, we have to strip ourselves of all of the things that make us different from others in this world, so that we are left with only the spirit.  Then we can join with others in the soul.

Connecting with others helps to reveal the ego. The connection between people creates collective vessel of unity. Only through this shared vessel of unity that the Light of the Creator can be revealed.

[Elisheva]

From my understanding, connecting with others involves examining oneself with a full sincere intent to find my Point in the Heart. Once I have been able to accomplish that, I believe that same Point in my Heart will lead me to others who have found theirs’. In the intent to find one’s Point in the Heart, gives one the desire to be connected to others; to find others who have found their Point in their Heart. Being in a classroom, outdoors, anywhere physical as a group is probably exhilarating because one is among that special group who understands what we are all have learning.
