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.
That’s the right thinking. However, there are 125 degrees. They’re changes in qualities within me. But according to a specific quota of changes, there’s a very stark, seismic change, like a birth. Of course, there are other ways of dividing up the degrees.
