Oh, Abdurrahman, it’s the only way. “Understanding” won’t get you anywhere in the work of the heart – only through love of friends. Simply understand that this is the only way. Best of luck!
See if you can muster the strength to even ask for strength to go above what you were given. If you’re not able to manage even that, then ask for the strength to ask etc.. You’re given this recognition about your nature and do you want to rise above it or not? If it’s the most important thing then you do it, as Rabash writes when the house is on fire, you’re already concerned about saving your life and not getting in a few more hours of sleep.
As far as blaming yourself for that, just reference my below response to your previous question.
Good luck,
Chris
Hey mrc,
If you look at it from the side of one singular goal for all of nature which is to bring the created being into complete equivalence of form with its Maker, then anything that ever happened in the past, happened due to that one force of development developing towards one goal.
What you do now is also from above – all the thoughts and desires to the most seemingly mindless detail in an instance cut from a moment in the day – they’re all perfectly projected to you, for you, with that ultimate goal in mind. We don’t know what part we play in that role until we begin to attain the thought of creation itself.
As long as you’re beginning to become aware of that goal, all of your inner intention and the question of “for what?” – when you do whatever it is you’re doing, in anything, try to to depict how you understand the Kabbalists advice and lock onto that goal and flow with that program.

Fear is only used as the starting point, something to wake us up towards escaping the fear, this is the natural instinct we’ve followed from the dawn of time – “away from fear”. However, in the last generation, the call to action is different. Instead of running away from the bad, we run towards the good. Meaning, we don’t want to create for ourselves a better world by avoiding all the bad – instead we want to create a better world by striving towards what is good without a calculation for trying to escape whatever blows are before us.
It’s a completely different mindset and attitude humanity will need to adopt. It’s never been the driving force for change yet because we don’t know what good is. Once humanity can grasp even a bit of what the “good” can be – meaning in good connections with one another and considering the entire globe as one family – only then can we work towards the good future instead of a future built on band-aids and insecurity.

Hi Sandra,
I’d love to respond to the core of what you wrote, but there are many places I could go. I’d prefer to narrow it down and approach the real question you have, but there’s a lot there. Do you have something specific you’d like a response on?
You’re saying some very correct things I’m just not sure which way to take it. Let me know!
