      I have read the full story of The Dinning Table in Attaining the Worlds. The dialogue between the host and the guest was immensely powerful.

      Feeling the presence of the creator though freewill of wanting to know the creator, learning what the creator likes, recognizing the difference between the pleasure we seek in this world and the abundance of pleasure the creator wishes for us when we seek his world.

      How many years have I spent in this life, in an endless cycle of seeking pleasure that is only short lived. It was not until I knocked on the door that the creator started to work with me. Only to conceal again when I return to my selfish ways.

      This passage meant a lot also:

      But if we feel ourselves to be so evil that we cry out to the Creator to save us, asking the Creator to reveal Himself to give us the power to break out from the prison of our egoism into the spiritual world, then the Creator will help us instantly.

      I can say that I have been blessed with an experience such as this. All I can say to do it justice is that, for a moment I was in the presence of devine light and that presence felt like overwhelming, unconditional love. I didn’t want to leave. But almost as soon as it appeared it was gone again, but in that moment it completely diverted me from my path of anguish and hate. It was like a drop of water was placed in a sea of pain and completely changed the whole ocean to that of love. Suddenly I knew who I was and what I needed to do and what was important.

      That event took place over 23 years ago. At the time I was not aware of the creator and did not understand what had happened. I spent years after, stumbling chasing fulfilment through corporal pleasures. I now see the futility of my desires. I know see the need to change within, to alignment with the creator.

      I wish to know the creator more so to bring him joy, so we may share in joy that which gives him pleasure.

      This is the purpose we are searching for, to live for the creator through our own free will.

      I shall wish to live a long life so to return his joy. If however the creator decides my life shall end, then I wish to return again and again to restore this love in this world. Be it 10,000 times or 10,000 x 10,000 times!

      This joy is for everyone, never cease in seeking it. You may feel shame or unworthy, but your sin is there to show you the light. Don’t give up, seek the creator with all your heart!

        My 2 cents: I think I too am frustrated by the wealth of knowledge being presented to us!  When I am wanting to understand something,  I want to have all the proper materials  and I zealously try to acquire them. But  Kabuconnect is so generously flooding us with access to its wisdom that I am forced to slow down and really study! I can’t just acquire it “once and for all” to be  gobbled up in order to put its wisdom on my internal library shelf.

      The two paths and how one needs to walk in balance between them vs good/bad or good/evil.  Then the concept of needing to hate the egoist so much to sort of force a person to seek the Creator.

      Something that stood out to me was the idea that becoming altruistic doesn’t just make you more spiritual it actually gives you knowledge. According to the book, by aligning ourselves with the creator’s nature of love we gain the ability to understand why things happen, which is a common question I ask myself when things happen in my life.

      The thing really touched my heart is that the egoism is the source of all the suffering and altruism is the key to connect with creator and become like creator.
      It blew my mind that tikkun doesn’t occur untill a person want it to happen. Before this I used to think that everything is happening in our life is for our tikkun correction.

      I very much relate to the idea that we reflect the qualities of the creator when we embody love, care, and altruism.

      It is important to recognize the difference between egotistic “altruism” and true altruism, one being a quality of the creator that helps bring us closer to unison and the other being a psychologically self-serving act. False altruism can very much seem like the real thing, and often times takes a great deal of personal experience and suffering to understand and implement its genuine form.

      I found all of this lesson valuable. Certain concepts were new to me, and I already had inkling about others. For example our separation from nature.

      It was fascinating to learn about the split and how the creation of languages separated us rather than united us. The translation of the word Babylon (Babel) was a huge revelation as it connects alot of things for me including Boney M’s song!  And also learning the true meaning of the words Creator- ” come see” I love this! Also makes more sense now.

      And like marc and a couple of commentators above said, I feel a little more sense of peace that comes with more knowing. And yes, it’s early days but I find myself, even in the last few days,  feeling and expressing both an inner and outer smile that I haven’t been able to access until now. Thank you all! 🙂
