Well of course, there’s definitely reassurance in it. It’s really a matter of relinquishing control. The faster you can discover this in your own senses that you’re completely governed from above. In the moment it feels that we have to act and make some decision, which is something we have to feel, while the next moment we look back and see it wasn’t me that acted there.
It’s not that the path is rewarding to the ego, at first it is, but the more you advance the pleasure evolves from wanting the “sweetness”, the pleasure for the ego – to wanting “truth” – no matter what the ego prefers, you’re fulfilled by coming closer to truth. The ego is important here since without it you wouldn’t have this discernment. So it’s a great and necessary component to direct us correctly on the path. Eventually, you’re able to have the strength to only acknowledge how you “feel” and rise above what feels good or bad and focus where the heart is aimed, and “to who do I want to bring pleasure” becomes the intention and this is already a great help from above.
Best of luck,
Chris
Hi Donals,
Any other method would have just explored more aspects of your egoistic reality which will inevitably end with the same kind of unfulfillment since we were created to discover and be fulfilled by spiritual pleasures and not egoistic ones. Undoubtedly those experiences in other methods would have been necessary to prepare you to march on the path that brings you closer to the quality of bestowal. Sometimes those paths become attractive again and you find there’s still more there to explore. In this case, a person is taken off the path and sent to wander around a bit more, but ultimately, everyone has a point in the heart that must be realized.
Thanks!

Hi Niklas,
Good question. No there’s no shortcut, there’s only hastening of the process – how quickly can you go through the states you necessarily need to go through. There’s no way to become “big” to be able to climb the wall. The process is that you become big, take a step over the wall, and then encounter the next wall which is higher, but this is what builds in us the correct emotional impressions and we work through them consciously. We’re supposed to experience every detail of reality and on the path towards opening up the infinite reality which is currently concealed, we need to discover our complete disconnection to it first.
Thanks!

Hi Humehr,
There are principles you can take from the path here and apply them at home, it certainly helps to promote “peace” at home, but since your spiritual work is really with those who have the same goal and they aren’t part of your family with whom you have some natural connection with already where you need to work with these “strangers” to your soul and bring them closer to reveal the Creator, there’s no real place for spiritual work with those in your house.
The principles are also things you would hear about if you were to go to a therapist or counselor where they’d tell you how to relate to them and how to keep the peace and work through issues. Things like lowering yourself, listening, giving an example for how to do those things etc..
Thanks!

Hey Danielle,
I know there are other events to join such as Weekly Portions of Light and on top of that you’ll soon receive an invite to the Young Group which will help build your “routine” you’re looking for.
There are also plenty of recordings to check out from the Grad class with Mike and Zohar along with Pticha. Sunday is also another meeting with Tony and Zohar.
All these are at your disposal and you’ll get even more as you continue to acclimate to the “environment” here.
Thanks!
Chris
