Growing up in a Christian house whole my depiction of The Creator is more of a loving Father figure who can be bribed through my prayers. Studying the wisdom of Kabbalah, I’ve learned that the Creator does not change and cannot change, rather, it is us humans who need to change in accordance to His Will…During the course of this course I’ve also learned that my mere existence is a desire to receive pleasure for my own sake (egoism) which is the opposite of the Creator’s very nature to bestow…I hope every one of us finds our way back to our truest essence to be like Him.
It says in the text that because  we are nothing but ” a will to receive pleasure”, I find it difficult to act in any way in which I don’t foresee personal satisfactions…Thus, it almost sounds as though I need to fake it. Is that a good approach?
The idea that one can’t feel anything outside of oneself blows my mind. It does explain why sometimes I feel frustrated when my friends don’t get my perspective in the degree I wanted them to. It’s because their attitudes stem from their own perspectives ; they are living in their our own made-up reality.
I’d say we can get in touched with the upper force by wanting to receive pleasure with the right intention, that is to receive in order to give. By emulating The Creator’s altruistic actions/thoughts we align ourselves with the Thought of Creation, hence one achieves “equivalence of form” with The Creator.
