I’m feeling the impact of the power that the group can have. I’ve quickly developed an appetite of things I would like learn that the creator presented in front of me in my AHAP. I’m truly grateful for this opportunity to be part such special group that exists for me to experiment with. The lab analogy has shifted my perspective about what life is and what it isn’t.
From Video 3.1 learned just how uncontrolled the EGO can be. The ego wants to exploit everything around it.
I saw this in action this week when a guy I had not seen or heard from in over 30 years got in touch with me. His egoistic nature was shining through as he had ulterior motives. Mind you this guy is married with adult children and even grandchildren but he wanted to exploit me by wanting to get involved behind his wife’s back.
I was able to (without using Kabbalist terms) let him know that I am on a new path which is showing me how to live a spiritual life.
Forty years ago, driving through the desert in Mexico, with a highly educated woman, I got into a hot debate about the fall of humanity in Eden. She argued that it was a good thing. I asked how could all of the suffering humanity has suffered as a result of the fall be good? Bear in mind, we were on our way to the war in El Salvador.
Her point was that one who falls and is forgiven loves the one who forgives more than if they had never fallen. I stood on my argument for some time, when I had a sudden epiphany that she was right. I had that same feeling in the story of the twin brothers and how the soul of Adam Rishon had to fall in order to find its way to alignment with being one w it h the Creator.
No magic required ,just learning balanced living. Learning to balance physical and the ethereal realities, ensuring that ambitions for money or power don’t lead to the neglect of intellectual and spiritual growth.
Everyday lessons include listening within, being yourself, and having the courage to be venerable instead of defensive.
It teaches me for positive human connection. By finding parts of myself in everyone I meet- even those I disagree with. It taught me to develop deeper empathy and understanding for their life.
An epiphany for me was clearly separating action from intention. In corporeal life, I act fully within reason — taking responsibility, using tools, effort, and intelligence, as if there is no Creator.
I get sick → I go to the doctor
I need money → I work, plan, ask, risk
I feel anxious → I don’t spiritualize it away
A mosquito dies → it’s dead, full stopI don’t spiritualize problems or bypass causality. At the same time, I don’t measure my worth or meaning by outcomes, and I don’t stop moving because certainty is missing. At the level of intention (not action) I only attribute: the result, the timing, the unfolding to the Creator. I don’t attribute meaning, worth, or identity to outcomes. I don’t conclude “this defines me”. I don’t collapse when certainty is missing. I don’t stop moving because the future isn’t guaranteed
On the other hand at the level of action or “the dream” as I’d like to call it: the world is real. Desire is real. Consequences are real. Anxiety is real. Effort is real. I play by the rules. I don’t go through walls. I don’t wait for miracles. I don’t suspend judgment or reason. I take the story seriously while I am in it.
The “dream” isn’t fake → it’s the space where desire feels real and choice exists. The work is not denying the dream, but engaging it responsibly while holding the intention that results belong to the Creator.
