Hi HJV,
We’re essentially walking “blind”, but our efforts to come closer each time adds a new level of emotion, and with new sensation comes the mind to scrutinize that sensation and gives us another level of awareness. Step by step we learn what it means to come together, how, where–it’s all added from above. Not from whatever egoistic, logical ideas we have as to what it means to be connected, rather, what we receive from above as guidance. These are all things that are felt. We will always be shown the corruptions and it’s on us to ask Him for help rising above them to connect in the common desire above everything else.
Thanks!
Hey mrc,
Not exactly sure of the context but typically it would be “persistent” in scrutinizing one’s state–where one is now and what the desired state is.
Thanks,
Chris
You could say that, although spirituality is based on an the existence of the intention, “who do I want to please?”. If I want to please myself, this is corporeality, if I want to please the Creator, this is spirituality. The pleasure is the goal in corporeality and in spirituality pleasure is a consequence, but the intention is the goal.
Thanks!
This is exactly Lo Lishma. We certainly aren’t able of even imagining what it is to bestow when all we have are vessels of reception. The desire is what we need to develop and gradually the light works on us and brings us new desires and eventually a true desire to bestow to the Creator without any return for ourselves.
“Easy” and “Hard” only have to do with what we are capable of handling. You could say in the weight room, lifting 100kg is hard, and 1kg is easy. In spirituality, the question is similar–are you capable of it or not? Do you have a sufficient Masach to reject anything you would receive for yourself and receive only what you are able to bestow. Bestowing in order to bestow is a different question since there you’re not even engaging the desire to receive, you’re not using it. It’s difficult to compare 1st grade and 5th grade. Certainly you couldn’t go from 1st to 5th but once you traverse each grade, you accumulate the necessary means to succeed in 5th.
Thanks!
