I have a similar question as Euler’s, it seems the Creator would need to possess a remembrance of will to receive. I need help to see this creative thought in greater clarity. In my readings and understanding from other courses taken it seems, again through my beginning perspective, that there is a single unitary force/light that is at rest. From this resting force comes a complete thought of creation. A creator is emanated from this resting force with a force of bestowal and a force of reception combined. Through the alchemy of shattering’s, the creator is able to separate bestowal from reception. During this process a remembrance of bestowal is set in reception. Question, would this also mean that a remembrance of reception is also in bestowal? In the shattering process there are times the reflected light was a container for receiving, this seems it would set up a remembrance of receiving? The readings from Kabbalistic writings ask as pertaining to describe the complete will of bestowal; who/what is there for bestowal to receive from? Yet, the writings also describe the vessel needs to receive in a manner for in order to bestow. So, the question would be if after complete correction the vessel receives in order to bestow, who is there to bestow to if bestowal does not also have a form of reception as there is only two things in this created reality, bestowal and reception? This question goes with the readings of the vessel must receive in order to give pleasure to the creator. This allows the creator to fulfil complete bestowal and bring vessel to equivalence of form. Question, if bestowal is just unconditional bestowal what matter is there in degrees of reception? The writings seem to hint to, so that the force of bestowal can receive something from complete bestowal. How can a vessel of reception ever reach a state of only bestowal? From what would this vessel have to bestow unless it is receiving from bestowal, which will always keep vessel from attaining complete equivalence of form to pure bestowal. So, in my limited perception, it seems bestowal has a remembrance of reception, receiving has a remembrance of bestowal, these are the only two things in operation in this created reality. So, it seems once correction comes, the vessel receives in order to bestow and bestowal bestows in order to receive. This completes the analogy used many times in the courses of seal and stamp. This seems, albeit from my corporeal perspective, a completion of a true altruistic symbiotic relationship between the two forces in this thought of creation.

From my vantage point of view, which I know is limited, it seems wanting to not bestow only to a slave to the light that a whole system was created. Now at the bottom of this process we have a condition to be able to access this bestowal, freedom of choice/change screens. These 125 conditions/degrees were from the creator’s process of creating the creature in order to be in equivalence of form. I view this as a process of conditions to bestowal. If one cannot immediately access the altruistic bestowal then a condition is in place, this condition came from the creator in the process of the 125 degrees for a purpose of equivalence of form, is this not a condition?

If so do these souls become part of the root until all souls reach correction? Once we as humans United cross the barrier to the beginning of work in the spiritual world will the need for suffering end as a teaching tool? I struggle believing there will not be suffering as at the lowest spiritual level there is still significant separation from equivalence of form with the creator and in this world the separation is experienced by me as very grievous. This grief while motivating is also deeply sorrowful.

What do you desire to achieve from it? #219304JosephParticipantI desire to change destiny from slavery to egoism to destiny of using freedom of choice to choose wanting to be in adherence with the creator. This is what I will learn from these lessons.
JosephParticipantHello my name is Joseph Lanzara from Maine USA.
As others in this course the spiritual desire, that I have tried to fill practicing many different forms of religion, has kept me feeling a lack but not knowing what, an emptiness but not knowing the food that will fill, a separation from others as I withdraw from useless norm practices of society, and now an opportunity to connect with other like searching people in this course.
