Without thinking too much about it, I should relate everything as coming from the Creator WHILE treating each one in my life as they deserve according to the regular laws of our reality. It’s not that I forgive people or give to people BECAUSE the Creator does everything. I relate to them as if there’s no Kabbalah WHILE internally I accept that everything comes from the Upper Force and that He is Good and Does Good.
Knowing my friends’ needs is the prerequisite for connection. Because without this, I can’t bestow to them. I know what their needs are by integration (hitkalelut) with their desires.
Hi Vince,
It’s possible you’re right, and it’s possible you made an incorrect inference based on hearsay. You said “past depression.” If one is depressed now, he needs to look after his mental health first. Any serious spiritual path requires a foundation of mental health. There are professionals who handle this medically and therapeutically.
As for being here for a year and a half – this isn’t learning how to ride a bike. This is ascending above this world, and all the feelings and sensations in it, holding all of that, but ascending above it. It’s not simple, but it is up to the student, and the judgement is within the person. Did he really give 100% each moment. After the required exertion, he succeeds.
Love is 100% bestowal, withholding nothing. If it’s not 100%, with all one’s heart, it’s not called bestowal. Connection is required for love, so that I know what the friend needs, what is considered good to him. The laws of these are the entire wisdom.
Hi Lulu,
You’re right – according to this wisdom I need to Bestow all the time. I don’t know what that is yet, it’s not something I’m imagining. But let’s say I already know how to do it. When I Bestow for the first time – meaning I’ve completely risen above my Desire to Receive – then, I’ll have a clear indication that the only way to bestow further is to receive, starting with the lightest of all my desires.
Hi Inbar,
Everything is arranged so that we would not be able to know the Upper World by any signs in our world. We only see the results, without any inkling as to why things are happening. In fact, our reasoning about them is all wrong. There’s a future goal that is sending them to us so we’d end up at that future state, while we would like things to be different because they don’t align with our own wishes. What we need is to align with the Upper Force, to become similar to it. Then we will agree that everything it does is perfection. We’ll truly feel this and be joyful every day that now we’re closer to the goal of Creation.
Likewise, we can’t learn from the Zohar, for example, something about romantic relationships. Because the Zohar toward those relationships is as I might be toward, say, the relationship between two cows in a pasture. It’s only concerned with our relationship to the Upper Force, in which correction is all possible goodness.
Of course, the reason for infidelity is straightforward: egoism.
