It means to see creation through the eyes of God. It is to understand that God is love and we are the love of God, and it is the love that binds us to the source of all things that is the only truth in reality. All other things in life were given to us to help us realize the truth of who we are in God. Our acceptance of the truth results in the realization that we are the presence of light in the world and that all we ever see being reflected back at us is our own light! This realization brings us peace.

Once the goal is defined, you will continue to refine it to keep yourself perfectly aimed at the target. How would you currently define the goal for which you are studying? #359484N/aParticipantThe goal of Kabbalah is to attain equivalence of form with the Creator — to attain and experience the Creator’s peace.

My first question is this: If I do not have free will, if all my thoughts, desires and actions are orchestrated by the Creator, notwithstanding the altruistic intention behind these events, can we attribute the current war in the middle east, or of the many murders and rapes that take place each day around the world to the Creator? Quite honestly, at what point do we take responsibility for our own actions?
My second question is this:Â If the Creator is this universal force of benevolence and love is, therefore, the governing principal of the universe, then how is it possible for love to be true without free will, particularly given there cannot be any coercion in spirituality (given the Creator is incapable of asking for anything from His act of giving)?
Thanks.
January 26, 2024 at 10:42 am EST in reply to: Preparation Question: What is freedom and how, by the help of the Reforming Light, can we acquire it? #357620N/aParticipantFreedom is the release from captivity to one’s ego. It comes from realizing that God is the only truth in the universe and that we are a part of God, held as one with our Creator through love. Our ego has been given to us to help us come to this realization. We are free when we have fully accepted the truth about ourselves and stop making gifts to ourselves knowing we are whole and complete and in need of nothing. Freedom is when we reach a point in our lives where we are unable to accept anything for ourselves, and so we gladly receive in order to give. Freedom is to know we do not need to seek to find anything; that we no longer hold ourselves captive to our ego. All that is needed to attain freedom is to change our environment like the decision we all made to study Kabbalah.
