Hi mrc,
I can’t understand exactly if your question is relating to what God experiences or a pleasure you feel, but certainly we can’t say anything about what the Creator feels, we have no ability to feel such a thing. Even with complete equivalence of form with one another, we’d still nonetheless be the creature with the will to receive, and He would be the Creator as the will to bestow.
Best,
Chris
Hi mrc,
This is actually great. It’s the next step. You wouldn’t be shown these things, have these thoughts, feel these sensations if it wasn’t something you weren’t ready to work with correctly. The key here, and return to this frequently, the key is aiming towards None else Besides Him. This will “straighten” you out and there won’t be anyone to blame but Him and no one to fix you but Him. You just have to have the right “approach” which cannot be an approach for yourself. “Figuring out” this approach and with what to approach is the entire preparation to the path. Persistence – anything but leave.
Hi mrc,
The general trend of deteriorating relationships is the revelation of evil, yes. The cause, like you said, isn’t the recognition of evil, it just is a form, a “fruiting body” of how the ego manifests itself – as separation, hatred, inability to communicate – etc.
Hi Eggie,
That’s fine. There’s no reason to enter into whether it’s right or wrong at this point. You will clarify these internally when you attain the qualities. It’s good check your boundaries but don’t go into it with your mind and try to build an imaginary picture of Sefirot. We always recommend to stick to using the writings as a way to stay adhered to the intention.
Best of luck!

We can’t “aim” for suffering, it’s impossible. There will always need to be some benefit. But typically, it’s not pleasureable to go against the ego. This is why we don’t exactly “fight” the ego rather we learn how to use it correctly. There’s certainly a struggle, but it’s never head-to-head.
