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.
By studying the Kabbalistic books, with genuine teachers, pleading for help from the Upper Force, and studying in a group where each person has the point in the heart and the correct intention, to clothe our reception with bestowal to bring pleasure to the Creator. The Creator is the glue between us in the Collective Soul.
It entails surrendering the illusion that we are independent of others with the intention of giving pleasure to the Creator by loving Him and doing what we can to receive the reforming light of correction on behalf of the collective soul~ and by doing so, we love our friends as our own soul.
Hello, My name is Deborah.
I am studying in other courses at KabU. I am grateful for the way my perceptions of reality are changing due to the bestowal of the KabU instructors. I am ready to undertake an understanding of the Zohar. It is the written source of this wisdom. I expect to be further enlightened by education and experience.
