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.
We need to accept that after that, egoism 2.0 is wanting me to regret and suffer from my egoism instead of ascribing it all to the Creator. This is my work again and again each moment, locating where the Creator is shattered in my perception, into pieces that have their own volition. When I come to “There is None Besides Him” then I know that I have nothing to feel bad about and that only He can change this nature that He’s created.
