It’s a flirt. It is written, “my Lover is like a gazelle, it runs away, but then turns back to look”. He pushes you away so that you would chase Him. But again, you’re not required to give up the things you enjoy for Kabbalah, rather you already decided that was a waste of life, so you gave it up before you came to Kabbalah. So, don’t regard that as spiritual, but rather the extent to which you can remember you’re working with the Upper Force while doing everything you’re doing is what you need. And to the extent you’re unable it is a sign you need to build a stronger environment around you of correct books, media, friends on the same path.
Hi Niklas,
Of course, from Above, they know how to play with each one of us, with each one something different, what for him will be an obstacle. It is not whether gaming is bad, but does it detach me from thinking about the purpose of life? Do I have free time now that, in fact, I could progress towards the spiritual goal with? These are the questions around which one is judged if he wants to reach the goal, because to reach it, he has to get to where he actually wants to reach it, more than all the tiny pleasures of this world. He will get there. Every person will get there. Either suffering will eventually bring him there, or the Light from the study will. The best is not to beat yourself up for this, but to set times that you study – to be in any live classes, recorded ones, etc. And give yourself time for the other things you like – but not mindlessly, that since someone else wants your attention somewhere and knows how to pull you, you follow their design. And if you study this way, the Light will work and it, not you, will correct your desire. We don’t artificially make changes, but draw the Reforming Light that makes the changes.
You can. In truth, the inner gears have to turn for the concepts to start sinking in. So, we need the Reforming Light to work. In whichever of our classes you’re most engaged you should do those for now.
This entire system, we have to build. Meaning we have to evoke the Surrounding Light that can do it. We don’t already have any of what’s discussed here. We don’t have Malchut, let alone a Screen and Returning Light. We have a Point in the Heart, and to the extent that we integrate our desire with a desire outside us – other Points in the Heart – we build the Malchut. Because the desire we got belongs to the broken Malchut. Our work is to correct this Shattering. Meaning the Shattering is the only problem in reality, that we perceive the beautiful, sublime Upper World through broken vessels and that is why we have the world we have before us. By trying to be one with the others, and by the study of the wisdom of Kabbalah (because it talks about the corrected, whole, integral Kli) we evoke the Light that can restore it to its perfected state.
We are trying although it’s impossible to behave internally as though my friends in the group are me, the real me even. How much would I be focussed on their enjoyment instead of the enjoyment by the person I currently identify as? We do this because this is the attitude of the Upper Force, who’s quality is bestowal and not reception; and we come to feel this Upper Force only through already being in Equivalence of Form with it. This is one of the possible exercises, and exercises with the right intention awaken the Reforming Light, which can make these changes in us, make them real.
Correct – you can’t gather except with those who are on the very same spiritual path and have it be a spiritual action. First of all, because these have to be people the Upper Force brought, and not those who I selected using my desire. Then I’m certain it is according to the will of the Upper Force; I’m also certain that I have no other dealings with them, since the goal is neither to have something in common nor to have them be people I like: irrelevant calculations to the purpose here. I specifically need people I have no other dealings with. Only then could I reach the first basic requirement for Equivalence of Form in my attitude towards them with the attitude that the Upper Force has towards them. Apparently the Upper Force wants them to reach the spiritual goal. I need to try to want the same for them, and to take action to help this to happen.
By this I make inner corrections because to engage in this over each of my desires that emerges is to necessarily – I don’t need to worry about specific desires. They will emerge, and their correction for now is to engage in this work with a Kabbalistic group. And you’ll see how they don’t want to – meaning there’s always part of you that doesn’t want to. Those desires’ correction is to come along for the ride, so to speak.
About humanity, their only correction is through connection. No other action towards them is good or beneficial but actually harmful – even if one had trillions of dollars to spend on any cause one can imagine. Only connection is a solution for any problem – no matter which one. Those who are ready to connect, at least somewhat, are ready somewhat to advance not by way of suffering; and those who are most ready – that is, those who come here – I need to work with first. Through them – because all of humanity is internally connected above time and space – if we truly correct ourselves, we pass these corrections into the system to which humanity belongs.
