From p.108 of Kabbalah Revealed:
In fact, the name “sixth sense” is a bit misleading, because we are not actually developing another sense; we are developing an intention… Building the intention over each desire we feel is what makes us conscious of who we are, who the Creator is, and whether or not we want to be like Him.
Does this start with everyday material desires? For example, I go for a walk and enjoy the outdoors, but I remind myself that it’s the Creator who brings every moment of the outdoors into existence and so I enjoy them because He gives them?
Wondering if you can elaborate a bit more on the concept of receiving with the intention to bestow. I follow that I am a will to receive. To be more like the Creator, I continue to receive, but gradually with more and more intention to give. In the answer to Sara, you put it as, “So we agree that we will only receive because we love Him and we want Him to be happy.” Then you add, “And what can we do to make Him happy? Only to love one another.” By one another, do you mean love of the Creator, as in the host and guest analogy, or love of other people, or both? Where does one place their focus in this context?
To the perception of reality that’s actually there. Not the one that we perceive with our 5 bodily senses, that varies from creature to creature, but the true reality.
What would you say is most effective to focus on at this early stage? What is the meaning of my life is a question that has tormented me for years–and won’t let go–I’ve tried. But, reading about spiritual worlds still seems a bit abstract. I feel I’ve glimpsed that everything comes from the Creator and then it passes, why, or is this my imagination? My question in the end is, do I just relax, continue the course, keep reading, posting, or is there some work I can be doing internally?
I’d like to clarify how to start learning and attaining internally. The question of who am I and what’s the meaning of it all has tormented me for years, despite an outwardly normal and fulfilling existence, and nothing else I’ve tried has scratched that itch like Kabbalah.
