I am going to try to explain what I understood. Please correct me in any way if I misunderstood. Left rejects is suffering because of our egoistic way of life in this world; within our five senses. However, suffering is correction and this Force is from the Creator. I am Jewish and I was taught and had my book on the 613 commandments. It was difficult for me to truly understand, not knowing about Kabbalah, that the 613 commandments were a “Force of Development” to reach a “perfect and eternal state.” I feel that I am understanding the “why” of suffering that is slowly leading me to understand the cause of suffering. I believe that once I will be able to seek inside the cause of suffering; seeking the point in my heart, I will then begin the beautiful path to bestow back to the Creator to again be aligned with the Creator.
In what way have I gained a deeper understanding of my life and of the forces working in the world?
My understanding of my life, before Kabbalah, was that the tragic events that happened to me were not of my choice I did not have free will to choose against them. There were other forces at work. However, when I did have free will to choose and made mistakes that caused suffering, the forces at work were of my own. I had choices. I just chose the wrong one. Did I know that at the time? No, I did not because I did not understand the forces of the world and if I happened to understand the forces of the world for a split second, I still chose the wrong path, not on purpose. At the time, I thought that was my only choice when in reality, there was an entire force outside of me, outside of my five senses with which I could have taken another path. I used to believe, looking back, that even mistakes that one made were to teach us something. Either not to do that action, or make that decision again. If so, hence, one had learned not to fall into that way of thinking, or deciding. I knew the word Altruism within the five senses, I have always had a sense beyond the five senses. However, I was completely blind in how to reach that true Altruism. To learn that everything created has been predetermined, gives me hope that when I fully understand, I can change my life in order to be side by side with the Creator. I believe in the Creator, always have. The irony is that it had never occurred to me that there was a path of bestowal to reach the Creator through a true path of pure Altruism.
Regarding week two, the clip of the baby getting for the first time a hearing aid was very eye opening. In this realization, hearing for the first time is like seeing outside the box of five senses. Seeing their reactions brought tears of happiness. Another great example regarding our adhesion to the Creator was the embryo. As an embryo, all of our needs are being met. We are receiving from our mother unlimited pleasures. Once we are born, we forget and enter the world of egoism as we grow and become adults.
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.
