This time in the Knowledge Check, I kept getting one of the answers in Question 5 wrong…..this one: I didn’t tag “Identifying with the Will to Receive”. The reason why I didn’t choose this answer until my final attempt, was that in my eyes it would be counter productive to seek to rise above what’s your very nature. I mean, we are taught that we are created to receive, it is all we can do and all we will ever be able to do. While we can rise to identify with the Will to Bestow, we can never stop receiving, which means we can never rise above it.
This is the reason why I kept getting it wrong. I didn’t understand the question, and I probably still don’t understand it completely.
Normally I wouldn’t correct a wrong answer if I didn’t understand the correct answer first. But i9n this case I did correct it because I think I may see how it is that we can rise above identifying with the wish to receive: …
 While we cannot stop receiving, we can attain Equivalence of Form, which means we identify not only with ourselves as the Receiving Creature, we also identify with HaShem who Bestows, and in doing so we become more than the Creation who only lives to Achieve for our own, personal sake.
When we view it from this perspective, we don’t seek to become something we are not, in fact we are becoming our complete self, as close to One with the Creator as a creature can possibly get to his/her/their Creator.
I hope I’m making sense (and if not, what I wrote is probably not very important to begin with). 🙂
The thing that bless my mind is that after thinking about the lessons for an hour or even a couple days, I realize not only is that absolutely true but ‘I’ knew it already! I think to myself, I’ve already this out but I know I haven’t. I mean some things have been revealed but the whole methodology, dare I say, ‘resonates’ deeply to my soul!!!
