I wouldn’t use that phrase. We need to “play the state” of the Upper Degree. We need to learn what the Upper Degree entails and try to do those things. I simply can’t enter until I’m already like the degree, and the Light will not make me similar to that degree unless I am demonstrating my yearning to be like it.
Hi Prescilla,
You’re right that despite all that we go through the Creator’s plan will triumph, as all that we go through helps inch us more towards the goal of His plan. However, that has nothing to do with the parting of the Red Sea.
Hi Leah,
If we could see how we’re governing things, from a higher level, we’d see ourselves as parochial and foolish. Like small children who only know about today. You can tell him that if he eats the marshmallow now, he won’t get marshmallows for the rest of his life. He can’t stop himself because he has a chance to have a marshmallow now. If some version of me won’t have marshmallows tomorrow, let that guy deal with that. Let’s say this is linear thinking. The decision you made was horrible, yet you fatuously think it was brilliant. This is how every government is behaving. So the future will be horrible, and theirs too. I don’t care if forests burn down and even if a million people die because I’m playing a sort of Candy Crush with people’s lives, in which I can now see another zero change digits in my bank account. Circular, or integral thinking, I have to be in the quality of the Creator for, or I have to listen to one who is in contact with the Creator. Otherwise, behind any good I try to do, I’ll discover a deeper layer of egoism. The Creator on the other hand is integral, can think in all directions at once, knows that any action affects everything and everyone, and can take everyone into account. Such actions are the only ones that can bring outcomes that won’t certainly bring more suffering to the world.
There’s something to what you’re saying, Scott. But it wasn’t the me I associate with now. That’s electrical signals generated by a protein body, and when it dies so do all its memories and feelings just like when a donkey dies. All that remains is a Reshimo, a kind of embryonic point that then gets affiliated with another protein body and develops further. This point, when it connects to all the other points in reality is the Malchut of Eyn Sof. You can say that that Malchut “decided”.
