We would approach them as a family approaches problems. We will always seek the good of the whole above the good of our individual selves is an awesome answer!
Because of compassion for the Collective Soul, we would stop hating and blaming, and killing and destroying to obtain power and wealth. Becoming solution oriented, we would love the brother and the friend. We would seek ways to follow the Laws of the Creator and Nature, receiving only to bestow. We would claim the power to rise above and accept the Reforming Light.
Greetings!
I think, though I have done much of the reading about Galgata Eynaim and AHOP a few times, that I still might have some confusion about AHP. I had to redo the quiz question concerning what is included in AHOP, I was not thinking that the teachers and the studying of the books were part of AHP. Because they draw the Light to us, I thought of them as part of G.E. I am remembering now that the G.E. must send the Light to the AHP. So, am I understanding correctly that the teacher and books are AHP which draws the Reforming Light and the G.E. –the Upper Part of the Partzuf which must send the Reforming Light to the AHP?
The concept that opened my mind in this lesson is that most of our “prayers’ are requests for God to change His mind about our circumstances–which is both egoistic and impossible. The Creator is the force of Good that does Good, which means what happens to us is a bestowal of the Creator’s Goodness. It is our perspective that needs to change. I mused about the internality and externality of the Soul–that what I want to perceive as “other” is actually also me.
At this point in time, I am processing the internality and externality of the Collective Soul. The Creator being behind my friend and behind me places me in the middle. The work, right now is to sense the Creator in the midst of interactions with my friend, and to realize that my mind wants to perceive my friend as “other,” but, actually, being fragments of one soul means that my friend is seemingly external, but is actually self. The opportunity to overcome the progressive Reshimot that are evoked by the interactions between the friends in the path, draws the light to us, causing us to advance.
I have to look up Dr. Laitman’s explanation of Galgata ve’ Eynaim vs AHOP for further clarification. I fascinated by the idea that our sense of ‘self’, our internal world,  is GE. And what we perceive as external, or others — because it reaches back to us– is a reflection of our AHP. It is “above reason” to understand that “others” are also self — because we are one soul. Dr. Laitman explains that AHP is a receiving vessel that cannot receive Light unless the GE vessel directs Light to it. The GE draws the light and must deliver it to the AHoP–so it can rise. The Creator is the Glue between us in the Kabbalistic Group. I am excited and intrigued — Thank you for the Light that revives my Point in the Heart when it struggles with the Corporeal World that I perceive as reality.
