I was watching this video from Tony on Egoism, where he gave the example of the host and the guest. It also dawned on me that I have been given immense love from the creator, and it was as if I was seeing the meaning behind all the symbolic stories and parables used in different mystic schools. The more you feel blessed and grateful for life, and small and big joys in it, the more you’ll receive. I felt that the Creator has been longing for me to understand that I should enjoy his bestowal to the fullest.
Seeing oneself as part of the collective soul will shift the paradigm from feeling isolated and stuck in a hostile external world to feeling like a cell in a more complex organism (such as a blood cell in a human body), serving a purpose that sustains life, or like a drop of water in the ocean. The drop and the ocean are one in essence.
The concepts I learned in previous weeks were mostly theoretical, but they resonated.
I expect to see more practicality here in the hope that I finally attain some of the beautiful and life-changing notions and principles I learned in the previous lessons. Mostly, I am keen to feel the light and feel for real the correction and change of perspective that may follow
It is to reach my goal as a single cell in humanity, not only to wish the same for everyone, but to help them do so whenever there’s a chance. If the ultimate goal is to love my neighbour as myself. I want to make sure that I love myself first, so I’ll have an example and road map as to how to do the same to my neighbours
Hi. I have a question regarding the concept of prayer towards the Creator: through prayer, we ask God or the Creator to change their ideas or behaviour towards us, as if we are making a plea. It is my understanding from the lesson that the upper forces don’t change or bend in response to our prayers. The only way is to rise above that need or wanting.
In the same video, it was said that Lishma is granted from above if we reach a certain state or level. Does it mean that the upper forces or the Creator respond to a certain state of being in an individual? Does it mean that we need to work our way through certain states to be ready for the Lishma to come to us? How does it work? The only way is to become like creator, the creator doesn’t do anything and unresponsive to prayers, and we can not proceed unless we are ranked or chosen? Could you please shed some light?
My goal is to achieve a deep and embodied understanding of why I am here, where I am headed to and what I am supposed to do. Obviously, I want the walk to be joyous and fulfilling. I am afraid of death. The other side is uncertain. Why am I here? Who is the one who sees, feels thinks , and lives and to what end?
