What is the difference between egoism and necessity? The analogy is driving in traffic. I am driving on the highway and need to get off on the exit to get to work. My work is serving others. No one is letting me get to the lane for me to make the exit. So, I aggressively take the exit so I can get to work. I take something at the cost of the other. Should I never take my exit from the other and never get to work? Or should I always be late to work? Is that egoism or necessity? In nature, a lion eats its prey at the cost of the prey and this is called natural. How do I operate in this world when everything I receive can be weighed and understood as a cost to the other? More importantly, how can I be productive in a egoistic world through this wisdom? If I always give up my exit to get to work, which the world will gladly take, how can I get anything accomplished?
I am expecting the beginning of a journey of understanding my true inner nature and its relationship to the creator. I desire the restoration, or revealing, of my/our communion with nature.
I desire to draw closer to our creator. Kabbalah is fulfilling that unquenchable desire in my heart. In my short journey, I have felt/seen glimpses of infinite joy and delight from a unified all-loving, never changing, creator. I have always been a rational cerebral person, but this wisdom has helped my heart feel the awesone radiance of bestowal. I gotta climb the ladder.
