Simply put, by dedicating oneself to helping others understand a question or situation, what one had been considering within their own mind now becomes verbalized and comes back to that same person through their own auditory reception. I can’t exactly say why, but I can say that this causes one to find a new or different way to interpret the question than if it had only remained within their thought process.
Forty years ago, driving through the desert in Mexico, with a highly educated woman, I got into a hot debate about the fall of humanity in Eden. She argued that it was a good thing. I asked how could all of the suffering humanity has suffered as a result of the fall be good? Bear in mind, we were on our way to the war in El Salvador.
Her point was that one who falls and is forgiven loves the one who forgives more than if they had never fallen. I stood on my argument for some time, when I had a sudden epiphany that she was right. I had that same feeling in the story of the twin brothers and how the soul of Adam Rishon had to fall in order to find its way to alignment with being one w it h the Creator.
It may sound like a petty move to make, but I want to emphasize how important it is to incorporate a new concept into one’s daily life with repetition. Since I’ve reached a certain point in our studies, I’ve begun starting each paragraph in my morning journal with the phrase, “Father, may it please You to bestow on Your servant…”.
It is my small effort to train myself to align my intentions with the Creator’s.
I am a devout Roman Catholic and have found Kabbalah all through the teachings of Jesus and writings of Paul. People are always speaking of the earth being in the end times, but I tell them that I believe we could have a very long time to go.
Thinking about the Kabbalist use of the languages of the language of the branches, we were reading the verse from the Book of Ezekiel where the angel shows him the stream coming from the temple and measures off 1,000 cubits for times, until the stream is a flowing river making every thing fresh and new, including the salt sea. I wonder if the death of Jesus isn’t the temple and “cubits” aren’t code for years? That would place us still 2,000 years from a perfect world, and Ezekiel never speaks of an end.
Since I am the culmination of 6,000 of incarnations, and everything that I have learned is retained in me, am I able to make use of this incredible bank of knowledge, and is there any way to access it at will to find answers to questions? Also, is this the first life that I’ve become aware of myself and the effort to reach the upper light?
