The story of the wording Moses gave to his people made me wonder if the fact that we can see the past, but not the future, is part of the restriction? Because it said the Creator didn’t want to specify what the people might gain in the future because then they would do the work egoistically instead of altruistically.
Is the future hidden from us because it is Light?
It’s like when you look at the other political party that you think is doing the wrong thing for the wrong reasons, and you think “these people need something. they have reasons that would be just as valid to me if I were in their position and conditions. opposing them can only make it worse. how can these needs and fears be addressed?” and then you search yourself for the related divisive concepts and egoistic desires, and study, and ask the Creator to intervene.
And then you look at the others who are like you, and want the right things, but some ways they go about it or their opinions might repulse you because they’re a different person. And you can see and feel that dissonance there because you ego just doesn’t understand what the benefit is of dealing with them, of trying to understand. But you go above that and work on your theory of mind. You think “this person is actually me, but it’s the part of me I can’t feel. They need something and only the Creator can get it for them. And I am the one with contact with the Creator. How do I tell the Creator what is needed, when the Creator only hears what is genuine, authentic, true, and heartfelt? I put myself in that other person’s place, so I can use my imagination to feel what they feel… and if I do this well enough, the Creator will reveal the connection so that I really can feel that part of myself.”
I want the Light to work on me to the point that I can have the privilege of access to a Ten and being a functional part of a Ten. The parts of the system I can contribute to are waiting for me to be ready to function correctly in them.
I think in the context you mentioned here the GE is the “eye,” in that it’s the part that can see itself… the part that we can identify as ourselves.
I don’t recall if it was in the course materials, or if it was part of a YouTube video on the KabbalahInfo channel, or if I read it in the Zohar… but I learned that a collective prayer is answered with the revelation of evil. That when we raise a big effective collective prayer for unity and progress, (like we did last autumn,) that it is answered with an advancement in time. We are granted something that will speed our progress towards correction and potentially eliminate a lot of suffering that could have happened along the way. And that something speeds our progress through a revelation of the evil of egoism within us, (and the collective which is also us.)
This solved some cognitive dissonance for me, because I have felt the collective raising a prayer in the past year, and I didn’t understand how it was answered. But now I do.
I understand that we absolutely cannot resolve division in the collective through opposition. It doesn’t work. It has the opposite effect.
The only thing we can do is abstain from using our own egoistic desires in order to prevent ourselves from further harm to ourselves and the collective. And we can support others as they go on their journey to the realization that division and egoism wont work or them… and as much as they thought they wanted it, when they actually get it it will come with the revelation of its evil, and they will understand how desperately they do not want it. And through our empathy and connection with the collective and those people, we will also receive the revelation and advance quickly towards correction. The deeper our desire for good toward those people, the more we get to share in their revelation, advancement, refinement and correction.
The collective prayer was answered. It was answered with exactly what will speed us towards knowing ourselves and desiring correction and intervention from the Creator.
He is good that does good. And there is none else besides Him.
We wouldn’t need laws or legal systems. Every supply chain would self organize and self adjust perfectly as the individuals in it each incorporated their knowledge and communications conscientiously. Leadership structures would be truly service based. Foreign policies and diplomacy would be focused on making the needy nations whole and supporting them in the preservation of their lands and customs. Settlements would reorganize themselves to be like nodes where the size of each node is whatever provides the ideal amount of access to resources and other people, and they’d be loosely connected in a global network to get the more complex technological needs met. This structure would extend to hierarchies also, where the only appointments to authority positions would be for people gifted at coordination and articulation to help serve the system and the individuals they represented. People who feel a calling to be parents would have as many children as they wanted, with ample support from society. And people who don’t feel called to be parents would naturally find their unique niches the in the fabric of support for the next generation. Credit, housing and healthcare would be universally available, provided and resourced without any consideration of profit. Products would be crafted, not to be discount or profitable, but to provide the greatest delight and be cherished the most by the recipients of them. Nobody would ever abuse a single animal or plant or object in any way that could possibly be seen by another person because the purpose of everything would be to demonstrate the appreciate of that thing the Creator gave us, and to express the desire to make them beautiful and comfortable for everyone to behold, down to the youngest child. Every word spoken, every chore done, every item made or repaired, would be an expression of love and care.
