This is interesting to reflect on because as kids we’re only looking to play, it’s how we grow. As adults, we kind of look at that as a lower form of development but in truth, it’s how we should continue to develop. Taking everything so serious adds to our false perception of control. Less egoistic is also partially true.
Hey David,
No problem “reading ahead” just don’t try to get into it like a scientist. Just let it kind of “pass through” if you know what I mean. No reason to try and grasp anything intellectually.
Thanks!

Hi mrc,
There is a system and it is interdependent. It cannot be that the system functions while one integral part neglects its role. It’s also true that nature accounts for this stage where we don’t know the rules of the system and how to behave in it. We will nonetheless have to undergo correction.

Hi mrc,
We are the only thing that changes, what’s constant is the Creator’s attitude to us. When we change, we see a different world, just like Baal HaSulam writes, “we were as dreamers.”
Hi David,
Yes, we have all felt this desperation of the situation around us, but if you’re like me, it’s so uncomfortable to bear, you’re quick to find some soothing distraction.
The external world is full of suffering and tragedy, but nature considers the advancement of all of creation as a whole. When we wake up and start asking and looking around trying to find how to make it better, we’re all doing that from our own personal perspective and it seems very daunting. However, perspective is only where we start the process and the process will lead us out of ourselves and into all of creation. This transition from “me” to “we” is where all the corrections happen. Making these inner corrections are what will cause the external world to heal as well.
We continue the path and pave the way for the rest of the world to follow.
Best of luck,
Chris
Hi mrc,
Good and bad are relative though. When you have one purpose in life which is to escape or lessen pain and advance towards pleasure – reality will appear to you accordingly, you will feel reality in the ways that serve that goal. If you were to change the goal for which you exist, say, to bestow and only to good to others and the Creator – then you would feel reality as only the Creator and if it comes from Him, it cannot be bad. The change is in me whether or not I can see the good the Creator is bestowing instead.
