To first foster the desire for love and connection, and then to be thinking about it while interacting with the souls around us. To receive love and fulfilment via the love and fulfilment of others. To experience people as your self and love them in that way, and to avoid over indulgence in self gratification
We currently perceive through the quality of reception. We can view reality from the perspective of the creator once we can perceive through his qualities, the quality of Bestowal.
So it is all about closing the gap in our disparity of form. Becoming like the Creator is the thought of creation! Attaining his qualities is how we can give back. Be merciful as the Lord is Merciful
And even more so, to receive by bestowing to others. Yes it will always be a form of reception, but this reception is not for my own personal benefit, but for the benefit of others. “One reaches love of the Creator through the love of others because we are one soul”
To further explain what I mean by Receiving altruistically, I think of the Metaphor of the dinner laid out by ones friend, and enjoying the meal to its fullest extent in order to please the host. Enjoying the meal through our will to receive in order to please the host (bestow back) that gave it to us.
It is not about ridding ourselves of the will of the landlord(because we can’t), but to use the will of the landlord for the opposite purpose of its original intent. Receiving altruistically vs Receiving only for myself.
am I on the right track with this?Also, does the creator receive by bestowing to us creatures? If he has a desire to bestow to us, when we receive this light of bestowal on us, does he feel pleasure due to his desire being fulfilled? I feel like the answer is no, but I am not sure how it is incorrect. Thank you 🙂
