      This is the turning point, and I am not sure I will be able to make it. I don’t want to let go of my will to receive, and I don’t see my way open to changing to full bestowal.  If something changes within me, and I see the attraction and possibility of this change, that is good. I am open to the idea, but frankly I still feel that I have not received what I want in this life and that a lot has been taken from me.  If the course changes this, that is why I am doing it, but this is what I am feeling right now.
      I do have a greater desire for the good of all humanity and I do recognize love as the essential energy of the universe, so let’s see where that takes me

      The more we use our EGO to bestow upon others, the lesser sorrows we have for ourselves. I suppose that changes our frequency, by which we perceive another reality. Like changing the TV-channel

      If my girlfriend gives me flowers, I receive them in order to give her pleasure.

      Change our perceptions and develop our Klee by a different calibration. Connection with bestowal and love of others draws the reform light to help us attain equivalence of form and grow our egoism. A Torah life with the passion of desire in the heart attracts the light.

      It means Childhood’s End. Also a novel by Arthur C. Clarke who provided tremendous insights in a futuristic science fiction context.
