We shouldn’t be satisfied because we need the desires for satisfaction to give us motivation to build our desires to correct our egoism. I love the EGO Formula: Expected pleasure minus expected effort = pleasure>effort=movement; as effort>pleasure=no movement.
AnnmarieParticipantReceiving for the sake of bestowing, for the sake of the Creator: To please the Creator.

June 18, 2023 at 4:00 pm EDT in reply to: Where exactly is your free will? Can you identify where it is real and where it is an illusion? #323024AnnmarieParticipantMy free will always feels real. I live in this perception, therefore, I believe in my world. I live in my world. I do not see any difference other than the world that I live in. I have never felt that I was an illusion. I may have some reality checks, but I am not confused that I am an illusion. Now that I am studying Kabbalah I am learning a great deal more than I have ever contemplated in my past. I believe that I can change my egoism through my choice of environment.
June 18, 2023 at 3:54 pm EDT in reply to: Do you ever feel like reality is the product of your own perception? #323022AnnmarieParticipantYes! Sometimes I get so involved with my reading that I am not aware of where I am. When someone enters the room, I am overwhelmed and startled. When I meditate on the porch and listen to the wind and watch the trees dance with the rhythm of the wind, and I hear the birds singing, I am no longer here in my present state, but, yet I am. I just felt that I was in a different reality. Several times when my husband is driving through a most beautiful place, I have felt that I was in another world (wonderful feeling) but it felt like a different reality. I’m not sure if these are feelings of perception, but I did feel something different in each event.
