If I move away from the path, even for a legitimate reason, it will be harder to start – like starting a bicycle. The slower I go, the harder it gets. From a full stop, it’s the hardest. From a standstill, I have no heart or mind that can guide me except away from spirituality. I have to simply get moving without thinking and replace my thoughts with those of the Kabbalists. Like I’m a recording device, I need to simply reinstall all these materials on my hard drive.
If my inner attitude is to tie each thing back to the ten, the purpose of Creation, the Creator – that sanctifies my whole life; but it doesn’t mean that I apply terms that have an inner spiritual meaning and translate them into “I’ll now be more patient with the guy who isn’t turning right though he has a green light to do so.” What, I’ll wait through a couple green lights because it’s rude to honk? It’s just an example, but conducts in our world are simple and predecided according to what’s more or less common in society. You don’t have a lot of leeway on how rude you can be toward your boss. Depending on your professional/social capital you can be more or less forward. You know how to be, what would be in your best interest – without Kabbalah, and Kabbalah also doesn’t help me decide. In fact, Kabbalah only confuses me. The right calculation in daily life is: according to maximum self-benefit. A wise person knows how to be nice when it’s time to be nice, polite when it’s time to be polite, a bit more rude when needed. There are people, for example, who only understand strength. Let’s say there are countries/peoples that don’t understand a Western liberal kind diplomatic approach – they secretly laugh at it – because they have a tribal mentality where the only thing I respect is that you come at me with an iron fist. You with your iron fist, me with mine, and if you’re stronger, I bow before you. And you think you’re going to convince me or make peace with an open hand, charity, concessions. Every concession you make I see as a sign that you’re weak. If I see you as weak enough, I’ll attack you. So, every situation, according to how you can maximize your personal benefit, given your understanding of the world, already predefines how you should behave. If we want to talk about how to behave when either we are naive about how a certain aspect of the world really works, or how to behave under all kinds of artificial man-made ideals that are actually in conflict with Nature, or based on probabilities (which is also an artificial construct to aid man where he is uncertain of the absolute deterministic outcome that has been decided from the Thought of Creation) – that’s something else. So, in short, the rest of the world is essentially inanimate. I can’t advance spiritually by it except by following its laws and tying it to the spiritual goal while doing so; while the place I can affect reality truly, by hastening time, is in the ten, by connecting them more, sooner.
Yes, in corporeality, all my desires are implanted in me and I realize them like animals that are already migrating before they know why they’re doing so. Then do so because an inner impulse appeared to do so. That’s how I realize all the desires that appear in me (from the Creator). Here, it’s the opposite: I have to create the Kli [vessel] for spirituality. It will never appear in me otherwise. In manufacturing this desire in adequate quantity and quality I become independent, and similar to the Creator. I build my future self in His image. The Light builds it – because that form is predefined by the Thought of Creation, as it’s written, “If the Creator doesn’t build the house, the builders’ work will be in vain” – but I bring myself to want exactly what He wants.
So, there is what’s called a prayer Above Reason. It’s not exactly what I want, but what others want. I need to integrate with them to understand what they want so I can correct and raise that prayer to the Creator.
Also, it doesn’t matter what you do with your body. You can stand on your head. What’s counted is the extent to which this is the one and only thing that I want.
A teenager, I would only talk to them about the integral world, how everything and everyone is connected.
The whole world is deeply interconnected, like roommates in a single apartment or even twins sharing a womb, except the web of connections are concealed from our eyes. The field of connection between us is concealed by the illusion of timespace, where if I think a bad thought about another person, it harms them, and then, because we’re connected, harms me. All the more so if I allow that thought to materialize into words or actions against them, which shows that I not only have but also agreed with the ego that flared up in me. And I can’t stop myself from thinking these thoughts because of my ego that doesn’t like what is not me, doesn’t want to live in a world with all these people who are not me. Moreover this ego increases, both generationally and within me each day. That’s why what’s less content than a fetus is a baby, and less content is a toddler, even less happy is a teen, and worst is an adult. But each day one becomes less happy because the Will to Receive grows, and what satisfied me yesterday doesn’t today. And everyone in the world is experiencing this. And the solution is actually in the place no one wants to find it: in connection with those who appear to be not-me. The main thing nowadays is to divide everyone to extremes; this way you can control them easily. In that, we’re just heading for depression and annihilation – including those who create these divisions. In connection, there is the solution to all problems. We’re in the Garden of Eden now, just in incorrect connections between us – so instead, this world is hell. In truth, all corporeal problems would be solved in connection. In addition – though I don’t tell anyone this – deeper connections than that start revealing spiritual degrees, and that really cancels all problems, this world even disappears bit by bit. In short, both for society and the individual, greater, more qualitative correct connections lead to good, and your expectations for what good is also become higher and higher.
That’s just me typing quickly, not how I’d necessarily say it. But that’s the idea.
The question isn’t clear but.. all our conditions are by design to bring us to the deficiency for the Creator. Deficiency, fulfilment, deficiency, fulfilment…designed according to who and what I am. It’s not that I’m having random experiences. Gradually, I see that all is in vain and leads to emptiness. Then, because I instinctively feel that I should be fulfilled, I look to the heavens, wondering why they’re not giving me pleasures into my vessel of reception. This causes me to search for the Giver. I’m actually searching for Him to ask Him why He’s not fulfilling me; and if I understand things a bit more – I ask why He created a world in which there’s actually no way to get fulfilled and you must overpay for every pleasure, which is an unacceptable cost/benefit ratio for the Will to Receive.
