    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.

    Hi mrc,

    I’m answering all your above questions here. Looks like you did touch something here, but the word “force” would be incorrect since we experience free choice in the system. Another correction would be that He only has one action which is to bestow, to do good. In that thought exists the entire plan of creation to bring it to complete good. What we experience as “bad” is only in our perception of “bitter” and “sweet”, whereas reality is based only on “truth” and “false”. The will to receive for ourselves distorts the true reality.

    Hi mrc,

    Hard to tell what the question here is exactly, but anything that exists still exists within this sphere of nature. If it exists, then it exists as part of nature’s plan and nature’s plan is only to bring the created being to complete equivalence with its Maker.
