      I continue to be surprised by how drawn to this wisdom I am.

       

      I can tell that my intentions have improved, millimeter by millimeter, over time (throughout my life and during my study of Kabbalah), but I am also becoming more aware of where my intentions are purely self serving more and more. It has been helpful to read that this is not a sign that I am off track, but that the Creator is, in fact, trying to draw me closer and that my increasing ability to perceive evil within myself is actually a sign of progress.

      While not a direct perception, I have also recently come to recognize the Creator’s will to bestow in my environment (His thought). I cannot thank Him enough for allowing me to draw closer to Him, even if that means drawing closer to barriers that only grow stronger and harder to overcome as my proximity to Him increases.

      I love the fact that we are Unity of Life because we incorporate all the Creation within us. That is why we need to act like Nature in a Holistic form of Life.

      Equivalence of Form is a law in the thought of creation that the creature is similar to the Creator

      This was interesting and I don’t completely comprehend it:

      The force of the Creator and the force of the Creature must not connect directly. There would be a short circuit.

        My understanding is that this refers to the Masach (screen). The Creator’s nature is to bestow, while the creature’s nature is to receive. Receiving the Creator’s Light directly for our own gratification creates a disparity of form, or spiritual separation. The Masach allows us to resist egoistic reception and receive only with the intention to bestow, creating equivalence of form and adhesion with the Creator. I believe the “short circuit” is a metaphor for what happens when reception occurs without that corrected intention.

      Even the most educated egotistic person can miss the mark.

        Well put. I’ve definitely had to learn this the hard way.

        Cognitive capacity and sheer knowledge that is applied without wisdom only makes a person all the more destructive.

        However, the same capacities, properly honed and channeled, can produce miraculous outcomes.

      Parece simples, mas é uma enorme luta interna para dominar o ego e atingir a equivalencia de forma para essa união nivel acima. Talvez seja o primeiro passo que é mais dificil, estamos aqui estudandopara essa evolução.
