With all the knowledge I have now, I feel at peace with the meaning and goals of life—but I feel lost when it comes to the path to get there. I’m waiting to be assigned to a group of 10, and in the meantime, I’ve often been told not to mix spiritual life with the life I’m living. I understand that I shouldn’t apply the “will to bestow” blindly to everyone, but knowing my own nature, and the nature of those I love, while feeling powerless to change anything (at least not yet), leaves me feeling deeply depressed.
Am I the only one who feels this way? Will this pass?
Sometimes it feels like knowing the why and where, but not the how, is even more painful than not knowing anything at all.
what am I doing wrong?
My intention is all for self-love, so does everybody around me. correct? if no judging is required, shouldn’t that include not judging myself? accept that’s my essence and try to use it the right way?
I guess I am a bit lost here. we are all created as this desire to receive, me, you, him, her… how come they are found in perfection in the world of Eyn Sof? if they are, am I not?
also not sure that I understand ” except for the projections from my inner qualities that stand between Eyn Sof and my degree.”
This isn’t directly related to the course, but it’s something that’s been weighing on my mind: How can we continue to appreciate and enjoy kind gestures in real life when we’re aware that, behind every action, there may be some element of self-interest? Thoughts like, “She’s only doing that because it makes her feel good,” or “He’s saying that just to avoid feeling guilty,” make it hard not to question people’s motives. It starts to feel like you’re second-guessing every act of kindness.
wow, reading some old questions and your answers is such a good way to learn and deepen my knowledge. thank you Gianni
another question. Why all instructors never talk about their attainment experience? because it’s hard to describe in such way it make sense to us? or something else? do instructors discuss that in your small circle? if not, how do you know everybody indeed attain the same thing and it’s not some wild imaginations specific to each individuals?
sorry I have a skeptical mind but I think it’s good to not blindly believe everything I hear. I know there is something called “above reasons”, if everything is done above reason, how do we know we are really following something real?
thanks!
