- July 17, 2023 at 8:30 am EDT in reply to: Preparation Question: In what way have I gained a deeper understanding of my life and of the forces working in the world? #326461Cinco LeoneParticipant
I have learned that when viewing reality through the lens of egotism, I am oversimplifying the true and complete nature of reality. All of life is reduced to the mere concepts of pleasure and pain. Rather than perceiving the whole of reality, I am only concerned with the parts of it that are seemingly beneficial to my selfish agenda. I have also learned that the experiences I so habitually am inclined to reject are actually a vital aspect to my development as charted out by the creator. These negative experiences are not a means of punishment but a refinement of my desires and a type of growing pain that are the result of stretching towards God.

Cinco LeoneParticipantHi everyone, my name is Cinco and I am completely new to Kabbalah. I’m very excited to learn about this ancient spiritual science and I look forward to having a positive experience with you all!
Cinco LeoneParticipantI was inspired by the idea that there is a creator that wants nothing but the best for all of us and that our perception of suffering is merely a misunderstanding of the creator’s intent. I have learned that my egoistic tendencies are the very things obstructing my ability to witness the true nature of reality and that I must attain a state of pure altruism in order to know the creator and the way things actually are. My wish for my fellow students is that we all swiftly attain the altruistic state needed to recognize the true nature of ourselves and our creator so that we can all feel a sense of complete fulfillment once and for all!

It is our own egoistic tendencies that obstruct our ability to witness the purity of the creator and the true nature of reality. By becoming like the creator and hence purifying those egoistic tendencies, the duality between the mind of the creator and the mind of the creature dissolves.
