Thanks, Seth. What you said touched me deeply. No words to describe it, but I am sure after years of search, I have found the way to go: Kabbalah.
Hi
I have a few questions:
1- In terms of the fulfilment of the desires: I have enough money to live a happy materialistic life, yet not enough to buy a boat or private jet, or have multiple properties. I am a general practitioner, but could be a specialist or a neurosurgeon. I have never been a president or Julius Cesar. At which point am I satisfied? I definitely could have more without needing it. I definitely like to drive a fancier car, but it is not necessary. Do I prefer to have other things? Yes. Do I really need to have them? No. The question is whether I need to fulfil a desire to the fullest before I feel the desire for the next desire in line, until I get the urge for spirituality. I know people who turn to spirituality to feed their egos. I don’t have money or power, so I become spiritual to inflate my ego and look down on others.
2- Adding the software of intention to the hardware of “the will to receive”, I understood the given examples, such as eating my mum’s cooking to make her happy. Makes sense. But what about buying a car or a house? Do I have to let people live in my home, or give strangers a ride to incorporate the notion of “to give”? In my job, I see patients. I always have their best interests at heart, but I am doing my job to make a living. What is the intention here precisely? Caring for my patients while making money? Making money while caring for patients? It’s all confusing for me.
3- hunter-gatherers were at a level where their desires were food, sex, and shelter, and they never really reached later levels of desire, like power or knowledge. So, what does Kabbalah say about them? Were they essentially at a stage where they didn’t need Kabbalah because they were in touch with nature? And if that’s the case, since we’ve evolved this way and our desires have evolved, we have to use Kabbalah. But if Kabbalah is something that’s universal and unchanging, then why wasn’t it applied to them from the beginning? I mean, people throughout history for whom wealth, power, or knowledge had no meaning – how can we justify that Kabbalah wasn’t meant for them or that they didn’t have access to it? What’s their deal?
I have achievements in life. Financial security, good education, and a proper career. The fact that none of these satisfies me and I am still not grounded tells me there is more to this.
I want to see beyond the limitations of corporeal senses and definitions as agreed by the collective consciousness, and see first-hand the rules governing nature and existence, and feel a part of it. I want to see beyond words such as “red”, “love”, “tree”, etc.
Hi
There is something I don’t understand, even after reading pages 35 and 36 in “Attaining the worlds beyond”
If the creator created everything and we have no role in determining it, then the ego is also created by the Creator. So what’s the deal with us gradually replacing it with something else the Creator made, too? And why did the Creator not simply create us the way we ought to be from the very beginning?
I really hope this course helps me get the answers I’ve been voraciously seeking to my questions. I feel almost certain there is more to this. My biggest question, though, remains: “Why the heck are we here so that we have to fight our way back up?” Once the pathology is understood, a remedy or even a cure may be found.
