The problem here is that we haven’t been in a cult and so we don’t know exactly how it works. We think it’s sort of for weak and gullible people, but we see that a wide variety of people got mixed up in them. We don’t fully grasp why. But there are mechanisms in every person that draw one to bow down to a guru. A person thinks he doesn’t want that, but in a part of him, he secretly seeks just that. And if you were such a person and not just asking philosophically you’d soon discover that the group and method here is starkly barren of the defining features of a cult, and then you wouldn’t want to be here. Here, you’ll have no leader to bow to except for the Upper Force, and it’s concealed. Without a revealed Upper One, the lower ones, the group, have no strength to stay together. Therefore you’ll have only the group and only the Upper Force that you yourself build, through free will every step of the way. Get to know it and we’ll see how against every essential feature it’s the opposite of a cult.

There’s Tfila (prayer) and Kavana (intention), two different actions.

Hi Roger,

There are several things we need to sort out here. Is the prayer the same as the intention? When I feel good, why do I feel good? Is it because I’ve done an act of connection? My child feels good when he’s watching YouTube? Am I happy because he’s happy? I don’t want him to be happy from that. He can’t bring me contentment from that.

If I’ve done all that I could to connect, but I haven’t revealed the Upper World, I must conclude that there is more that needs to be done. It could be that all that is left is turning to the Creator – but there must be something. And, in fact, I should every moment think, “What else can I do to advance the friends to connection,” no matter what state I’m in.

If I’m going on my own toward correction, it’s pleasant. Like if you get a massage, because of the pain, you identify that you were in fact already in pain. You’d only become so accustomed to the subtle misery of your state that you stopped noticing the pain. The pain inflicted by the masseuse brings this realization at the same time as it brings the remedy; Thus, you delight in the hurts-so-good sensation. This loose analogy can extend to the inner correction. I’m actually suffering tremendously, Kabbalah brings the blow at the same time as the remedy, thus it’s pleasant. That’s if I’m going willfully to correct myself. Otherwise, I’m suffering all the time because the correction process is taking place in me slowly, subconsciously, and against my will.

Hi Sean,

Yes, that same desire to receive that is at our core, we learn to use it in order to Bestow. The only problem is knowing the Upper Force, its Plan, how much it wants to give us, and under what conditions we can receive for its sake.
