Hi Greg,
Nice and balanced is the way to go. On the one hand, realizing the root of your soul in the Plan of Creation is all there is to do in this world. On the other hand, you have to realize it through this world specifically, along with the corporeal conditions the Creator gave. Therefore, it’s as much as you can do in your free time, after you take care of work and family. You’ll see later that that’s enough, and that’s plenty. There are millions of free moments that a person doesn’t know he has yet – and there’s the place of work, what is up to You to conquer. In the meantime, I’d bathe in our materials whenever possible, and the Reforming Light will do its thing.
Hi Greg,
You eventually resolve this inner dilemma without compromising your business needs. Baal HaSulam’s teacher was a successful businessman, but no one knew that he was a Kabbalist – and there were many others like that. While a Kabbalist has a biological body, he has to exist under the conditions the Creator made on the level of reality that body inhabits. If around me is a capitalist system, I have to work accordingly – like what’s normal among my contemporaries. And without injecting Kabbalistic principles into it. That is, we’re not bringing spirituality down into this world, but rather elevating to the spiritual world. If we want to correct this world, it’s all in the intention. Later, everyone will see that only that needed to be changed, and all that we did – wars, suffering – was only to avoid changing that. That’s why the wisdom of Kabbalah is all about changing the intention from reception to bestowal.
Like Rabash says, what each is missing, no matter who they are, is the mood, which can always be elevated.
I haven’t heard it described that way, but yes, each is unique and is inclined to pull in his direction. Like political parties, one can’t understand the other, unless Above Reason, and then they meet in the middle line. All turn out to be correct together and wrong alone.
Yes, this is how you help Him realize the goal of Creation. We feel it as a burden because our nature is to be concerned with ourselves. For that we have fuel. For taking care of the whole rest of Creation, we have no fuel. We need to feel this so we will see where our limit is and where we need His help.
