Thank you, Seth. You are wisdom and I am learning. However, I do not think I expressed myself correctly. I do care and love all children. Living in Puebla City, in my comings and goings, in the late evenings, I would come across a child from six years old to 11 or 12 years old on the steps of a building entrance covered with newspaper because it was a cold evening. I would stop and ask if I could help. The response was always a “yes.” I would take the child home. I would ask the child to take a warm shower. I would have clean clothes for the child and a warm dinner. The child would spend the night on a bed I always had extra. I would wait until breakfast the next morning to ask the child why he had run away from home. He would tell me. It was usually because the father’s, a farmer, crops would fail. He would get drunk with the little money from the crops and would take it out on the child by beating him. I asked that if I could help, would he accept for me to take back home. The answer was always yes. I had a friend who was a doctor. He would give me medicine and vitamins to give to the mother and I would give the mother money. After speaking to the father and assuring him that I would continue helping, he would agree to stop beating the child. All children are precious to me. When I pray, I ask Hashem to protect all the children around the world as well as the mothers. I do care Seth about the neighbor’s children and children all around the world given the world we live in with all the violence. This does not mean that I think I am special. I am not. I exist on the egoistic world. I understand this and this is why I am taking this course. I just did not ask the right question and did not express what I truly wanted to express. However, within your response, I think I a ready, although at an old age, to learn the wisdom of Kabbalah in its entirety. Shalom
Thought: Dr. Michael Laitman’s video on Kabbala, Science and the Perception of Reality speaks about somethng I have heard several times from the beginning of the course. That point in one’s hear is the beginning to “will.” I believe I had that point in my heart since I began reading books of Kabbalah written by Rabbi Wolfe from Australia and attended to of his lectures when he visited Chabad in San Antonio, TX. However, my life changed in 2018. And it is not until NOW that I have found Kabbalah teachers by scrolling through YouTube’s topics and caught one of Tony”s lectures. I immediately joined the course. The spark was there in my heart, the will since 1995, without the understanding of why and where it was there. However, I was not able to continue, or pursue where that point would lead me to, or what it meant. Now, I will be able to follow that point in this course with a much deeper understanding since the point in my heart has grown greater. Thank you all.
Regarding my thoughts above and in relation to the series I mentioned I was watching, the “win” in the series is for all of the people the United States to realize that they have to unite; they have to seek and know which of the three realities is the true one.
From the video: Do We Live in a Simulation? I struggle with “straight” words all through my Batchelor’s, Master’s, and Doctorate education in Psychology. At first, it was because I knew English. However, I did not know conversational English, nor educational English. I bought a Webster’s Dictionary that would not only give me the definition of words, but also three to four sentences on how to use that word. I watched Tony’s video of Simulation about four times. Before watching this video, I was grasping what I was learning. However, at the same time losing what I had learned like white feathers fleeing from my brain because of a soft wind. In watching this particular video, Tony gave me a great metaphor regarding the video games of which I have never been interested in playing. However, I have watched commercials about how these games are played. What also comes to mind are the fantasy movies such as Continuum which is about a “detective from the year 2077 who finds herself trapped in the present day and must prevent notorious criminals from the future from altering history,” quoted from the introduction. I have not watched this movie. However, I have been watching off and on, the series The Man in the High Castle in which the main character, a woman is able to travel through time, past, present, future. The past represents the truth about what happened after World War II. The present and the future are false realities in which the Germans won the war and conquered one third of the Eastern states of the United States. The Japanese also won and conquered one third of the Western states. The middle of the United States is called the free zone where people can live “free.” In this series, there exist many films that one man has in his possession, hence, the man in the white castle in which his entire collection of films show the truth about what really happened after World War II. The other existing realities, the Japanese conquests and the German’s conquest of separate areas within the United States are, of course, false. The two “conquerors” know about the films and are trying very hard to find them and destroy before people, all the people find out that they have been living in false realities. I watch a little bit of the man in the white castle and go back to study the Kabbalah readings trying to make sense of the written words. Tony’s video on Do We Live in a Stimulation and the metaphor of video games hit my brain as if a lightning had struck my brain and my reaction was a huge WOW!!! After watching Tony’s video the fourth time, when he asks, “do you get it?” It was a YES, I do. Therefore, from this point forward, the rest of my learning will comprise of how I can “win” by attaining the root of my soul and accomplish adhesion with the Creator through learning how to begin and understand the steps upwards to reach the Creator. Thank you, Tony. I am wondering if your video can be transcribed into a written reading that I can use as a background as I move forward into the depth of understanding Kabbalah. I hope I make sense.
The way I learn is by translating the concepts presented to me. In other words, egoism is a very bad concept for me. To hear that we are all egoistic sounded very sad. I tried to think of times that being egoistic fit me. At first, it was harsh and difficult to believe. However, and please correct me if my concept is wrong, I searched very deep into myself and sort of disassembled myself into pieces. I looked at every aspect of myself from as far as I could remember, maybe six years old up until today at 74 years old. The word egoistic, in my mind, matched people who had everything, boats, planes, etc. I began to break down from the very top (the boats, planes, etc) to the lowest level which could simply be someone who is selfish or in any way egotistic. I questioned my lifestyle. In being egoistic, does that include wanting more pair of shoes, clothes, things like that? I hear “unconditional love.” As a mother, I think I have given my children unconditional love. How do I reconcile that type of being unconditional as a mother with the unconditional love that I need to achieve to begin climbing the steps upwards toward the Creator? I believe the response is simple. I just need to understand it better. I do not have a problem with transitioning from egoism to unconditional love towards the Creator. That is why I am taking this course. I want to know. I want to learn.
I want Kabbalah to lead me to the perception of reality in which Kabbalah will open the path for me to bestow back to the Creator. However, before I reach that level, I want Kabbalah to lead me through the steps leading to the Creator. I want to experience all the paths, step by step. For me, it will be an opening to different worlds.
