One recently started, so it’s a couple of months till the next one. So, for now, you have the three other weekly live grad level classes – as well as the optional shows, Kabbalah Explained Simply and The Great Transition.
Are you in a young group yet? That’s the next step. If not, you’ll get one in some weeks when the next cycle begins. That’ll be one additional live lesson per week with an instructor and a cohort among which will be formed groups of ten. Let us know if this didn’t answer your question.
You can describe how you feel, but you’re right that you could not have the words to express it, or your listeners would not have similar experiences by which to be able to understand you. But there are other benefits to expressing how we feel, nevertheless.
That’s a great example, Sarah. In the eyes of society, that’s an act of giving, but since it gives you pleasure, it’s already called an act of receiving because the act doesn’t matter. What matters is whether the pleasure remains outside of me completely. Now, since any act could be one of bestowal, it is wise to not try to implement spiritual bestowal by doing acts that society already regards as giving.
But there’s a much bigger problem. As you indicated, bestowal is only if it’s bestowal to the Creator. Otherwise, it’s definitionally not considered true bestowal. For regular people, charity is just fine. But if I want to reach Equivalence of Form with the Creator, then we need to have a different conversation. Maybe the Creator is in charge of the whole reality, every detail, and already giving to each one what they need – not according to what I think they need but what they need according to the Creator’s Plan, since He knows what the best possibility would be for each one in every moment.
And the biggest problem: The Creator wants only one thing, and this is the only thing He can’t do, and thus the only thing one can bestow to Him. That’s for you and/or others to reach Equivalence with Him, spirituality. That is, you can give to Him by reaching correction and the goal of your life or helping others get there.
In this last point, there is also a problem: you can only help those for whom your help would be a gift truly – that is, those who are willingly studying the wisdom of Kabbalah and thus would appreciate your inspiration and so on.
