I’m sure this sounds egoistic, but I assure you it is altruistic. I’ve begun a real estate company with my sons, and I fully believe the Lord, that is the creator, bestows wealth upon individuals, in order that they may use that wealth to improve the well-being and lives of others. I fully intend to fund organizations that will accomplish things. I’ve often dreamed of doing for decades, would’ve been unable to do because I am not a wealthy man. These are things like improving the agricultural techniques in poor nations, establishing micro banking, and improving marketing techniques for small business people and establishing co-ops. However, my question is this: when my wife prays, and she very often gets what she prays for, she establishes a timeline for it. Is it egoistic for me to set a timeline like a quarter or a year, or such for success in our business, before I am able to have enough money or funds, in order to help the others accomplished the things I would like to do?
I once was touched by peace so great I wanted to fall and worship. It wasn’t even in me, but in the ones who came to me. Just the memory of the peace has carried me through three and a half decades of sometimes great pain. Religion might bring me to an “aha” moment, but I don’t think it will bring me to that peace. I know that if I had it within me, I could take it to the hardest of hearts and break them open to receive. Kabbalah seems to offer a very methodical approach to find that peace, again.
Freedom is the right to choose the blue pill or the red pill. We can choose to step back into the matrix, but we will never be happy, no matter how much we pretend it is real. Once we know there is a truth, we are compelled to fulfill the search, no matter what the truth reveals. As one rabbi said, this is the truth that the parable of the mustard seed is about. It must start tiny to be planted in the spot of our heart, in our garden. Then when the Reforming Light fertilizes the garden with truth and fellowship, the tree grows .
To get my head fully around this, then I have to believe that everything I’ve ever read of Satan and his forces, including the Christ doing battle with him in the wilderness, is actually coming from our own individual and collective ego and its tendency to evil. So the Christ had to battle his own ego to wrest from it its will to take over the power of being the son of the Father, and Hitler and Hiruhitu were actually awakening in their prospective races the egoistic desire in each individual’s ego to subdue and destroy other races. The reign of Satan it would seem is our own ego, and we need to ask the Creator for the bestowal of an altruistic will to overcome it.
To be honest, the sensation is one that humbles me, and at the same time frightens me. It makes me understand God’s answer to Job for the suffering through which he had gone. It also awes me, in the same way the revelation of the book, “The Unbearable Wholeness of Being,” as it reveals that evolutionists have it backward believing there was the Big Bang and a slow development of creation, until we began believing in a supreme being. In truth, love is the force that had our existence, as we exist at this moment in His plan in mind, when He exploded the force of the universe into its origin and let the laws of physic fall into place and then humbly waited for us to reach this point. It’s humbling.
The most important thing for me to know is that the Creator wants to be pleased by His bestowal upon us, and that what pleases Him is when we will to receive abundantly enough to bestow on others.
From this course, I hope to reach the aha realization that anything or anyone that stands in the way of my utter bliss is really the Creator working upon me to teach me.
