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.
Why don’t you ask? He’s awaiting every request. Ask for everything you can. You’ll always get an answer, a change, a correction. It’s just that we stop asking because to ask Him is the most alien thing to the ego.
People, even and in some cases especially the more brilliant people, are naively overestimating the promise of AI. It does have unique potential to cause great harm. And that will be its direction more than benefit since its kernel is egoistic. As such, it has no potential to beget bestowal. We have no idea what that would entail – to be able to tell it to do the opposite of what we do or something like that. Bestowal is an foereign dimension. Even if we could program bestowal-oriented systems, it would appear as something horribly non-beneficial to us because bestowal doesn’t follow our conception of what is good, but the Creator’s Thought.
