- July 10, 2024 at 1:32 pm EDT in reply to: Preparation Question: Starting a new course in Kabbalah is similar to a fetus moving on to a new trimester. The warm and fulfilling womb is still the same, but the desire and needs of the future human are evolving. Before we start the first week let’s set our expectations. How do we want the womb (Light) to influence and evolve us? What do we desire to achieve in this semester? #379429
GregParticipantReadiness to be born as a child of the Creator, to start taking the first actions toward adhesion with him.
GregParticipantThe ego is a slippery thing. I think that in many cases, it’s both consciously repressed, (because we like to fool ourselves into being better than we are), or unconsciously. In any case, it keeps us from properly receiving the Light. Is it a good prayer to ask the Creator to reveal our deficiency or should we just assume the ego is there and work on strengthening our intentions toward bestowal?
GregParticipantThank you Gianni!
GregParticipantLove you too Meine!
GregParticipantGood morning, This morning I read a passage from Attaining the Worlds Beyond pp 152. It reads: ” ” If human beings do not have the desire to regain the power to return to rule their own desires, then they have attained true love of the Creator, rather than a mere subordination to Him.” If I were to replace the word desire with ego in the sentence would it mean the same thing or was the word desire used intentionally? I am a little confused with what this passage is telling me. I have to desire the change/correction in me or nothing happens so isn’t that a form of control?
GregParticipantI re-read the passage this morning, and the feeling I got was that I don’t need to chase after pleasure either. If I’m doing the right actions the creator is going to give us pleasure anyway.
