My perception of this life has changed in that I now see this life as a constant series of events and experiences that can each be used to grow my vessel to become more like the creator. Each moment has its opportunity to emulate the creator. While its not the easiest thing to do in practice, I trust that with practice, I will expand my capacity for light and make my way back to the source.
Understanding that each movement up through the worlds in an increase in ratio of the will to bestow vs will to receive make it much easier to conceptualize that path ahead.
Perhaps this is answered in future lessons, but its unclear to me if we are trying to replace our willingness to receive with a will to bestow, or if we are trying to convert our will to receive into a will to bestow. In the book Kabbalah Revealed, I gathered that we use our will to receive as a way to also bestow, as the only thing the Creator wants is to give and for his Creatures to receive that giving. So the Creators fulfillment comes from the reception of the Creature and his/her gratitude. So our will to receive endless amounts is actually a way for us to endlessly give to the Creator.
For instance, let’s say I find $100 on the ground. My gratitude towards the creator for giving that is a way for me to give to the creator. I can do this for anything – my loving girlfriend, my hammock i enjoy reading on, my small challenges throughout the day that are opportunities to rise above a fear, etc. I can be thankful to the creator providing all those gifts and opportunities. But what about factoring in other people? When I found the $100, what about the excitement and gratitude I get after the thought of how I can use that $100 to give to another person/creature? Sometimes I think about accumulating a lot of money and all the good I can do with it. Is that also considered the will to give? Or sense there is only the Creator and creature, should the will to give be directed only to the creator?
Hi, I’m Jared.  Been watching a lot on YouTube about Kabbalah.  Excited to learn the basics, increase my understanding, and apply them to help me on my path back to the light.  I’ve been working on my certainty a lot lately, so I’m excited to see what else I can learn to apply on my day to day.
