Preparation Question: What is freedom and how, by the help of the Reforming Light, can we acquire it?

[Jack Davidsen]

We can only acquire freedom by following the “drive” that comes with an awakened Point in the Heart.

I can no more choose to follow the Point in my Heart than I can choose not to follow it, and I have tried to do both, many, many times over the decades since I found out that Kabbalah is the way the Creator has chosen for me.

So for the longest time I have been unable to understand what is meant by there being a small window of free choice which has to do with choosing the right books, friends and teachers.

I didn’t choose Rav Laitman as the main Kabbalah specialist I am to follow, the Creator did that, and I knew almost instantly, when I happened upon a documentary about Rav Laitman, that he was the Kabbalist I had to seek out. And I knew again, a few months later when I came across a video hosted by Tony Kosinec, where he introduces the viewer to the first basics of Kabbalah, and I suddenly heard him mention the name of Rav Michael Laitman, and he left a link to KabU’s website. Of course I had to click the link, and I know this is what I have to continue to do.

But again, I never felt I made a choice. I felt, and still feel, that this was always meant to be.

That is not to say that I don’t learn all the time how to handle things better, my understanding of why and how I can do things better is a continually growing process. But do I choose to do the right things? No, in many cases I just enjoy doing them, while in many cases I also struggle to do them. And all my failures were not conscious choices on my part. I may at times be aware that I am doing something that brings me failure, but it is not something I chose to do willingly.

I can understand the window of free will if it is something that becomes available after we take the first step up the ladder, or even while we take the first step. But before then? I can’t see how it is possible.

All this being said, I do think I may begin to close in on something that may open up and become a new understanding of how it is with this tiny window of free will. This is something I will continue to keep to work with until I achieve the necessary insight.

 

PS. My apologies for the belated post. I have been sick for days and struggle with severe pain that forces me to use very strong painkillers until I can get the situation fixed sometimes, hopefully, during this week. – In the meantime I will do my best to keep up…..Thank you in advance for understanding.

A person may perceive himself to be free but he is not. His actions are a calculation of pleasure and suffering.

Freedom is alignment with the creator

[Bongani]

I guess that our freedom is limited to our work in trying to exercise our intention to receive in order to bestow.

[Jack Davidsen]

Freedom is to be able to follow your heart’s desire or directive. The greatest and truest form of freedom requires that we obtain Equivalence of Form because only when we are one with Him can we be our truest selves without restraint.

We could also start by working together and combining our efforts.

[Jack Davidsen]

I have to add that the Spiritual Reality is where real freedom can be acquired whereas the corporeal reality is limiting in every way.

[Cristie]

Freedom comes when we have the desire to give more than to receive with help from the reforming light that allows us to enter into spirituality.

[Dennis Ibrahim]

The choice we have is actually to make an environment through which we can prefer spirituality, that’s a yearning for adhesion with the Creator
