1. Everything has a spark of light in it from the Shattering.
2. We have a spark of Light, but a spark is not Light. Between us, there can be actual Light.
3. The evil inclination is only teaching us not to stay in it. Advancement should be like dancing. Though there are ascents and descents, because of their rapid changing, one feels the whole experience as joyous. If it’s bad, it’s that I’m only standing, remaining in one state.
We’re supposed to find pleasure, but to find pleasure in the place where the true pleasure is. In every moment, we nevertheless have work to go Above Reason. Try and see how, despite what you said, there is still a place to go Above Reason.
The workshop rules are general guidelines but the rules are much deeper. The whole work is really a workshop with the Creator through the friends, so it’s not amenable to a few rules. I think in the asynchronous case, in a chat, I need to be found in a state as though I’m really hearing the friends, integrating with their desire, and continuing them just enough and not more than the ten needs.
That’s right except that we can only sink more into our ego by thinking about it. By trying to do the opposite – loving the friends – we can expose our opposite nature and then have a prayer.
If you can awaken friends to the connection, then certainly everything they need is found there in the connection.
