people would set aside the superficial differences and act as one soul. Your pain is mine, and my gain is yours. Cooperation and collaboration, rather than competition and conflict. Sharing resources and enjoying them together as one body.
Hi
In his video “What is a prayer?” Gill said that an egoistic prayer wouldn’t be answered. Now, being made of the material “the will to receive”, how can any of our prayers be answered? I pray for something like health, or even spiritual growth and attainment, and it won’t be answered because it involves me? Let alone stuff like money, prosperity etc. How does it work, really?
Thanks for your reply. It added to my confusion, though, as you said, it is all in theory. Maybe I should wait and see it in action 🙂
Studying this week’s material, a question popped into my mind. It was said that we should want to elevate our group without wanting anything for myself. Only from a point of bestowal (or maybe I got it wrong).
Even if I could do that, there is an ulterior motive: raising others without putting myself into the equation to get elevated. If that’s the case, I’d be in the equation from the start, only pretending to bestow, while my act is driven by the very desire to receive more. I never could reconcile these two. Could you help me out, please?
I have some theoretical ideas about the group and its purpose. Yet, I cannot imagine what would happen there. A group of people with a burning desire to see beyond and advance. The very first intention is to receive, and it’s o because we are made of “reception” material. I know that the “intention” software will run on “the will to receive” hardware. Helping others to become like the Creator and, in doing so, advance. But I really have no idea about it.
I was reading the Q&A, and I came across this. I hope this is the right place to ask.
I understand that we project our broken perception onto some events and processes in the world. I have been soothing myself with that notion for a while, and to some extent. Yet, when a prey is being chased and killed by a predator, they feel physical pain ( unless we say pain is a perception of a broken projection, too). Why this said harmonious act in nature, in full perfection, must be painful? I can justify the pain inflicted on me: to learn something and evolve. How is it justified for animals?
