It’s not that you guys haven’t done a fantastic job of making materials. I’m halfway through the Kabbalah Explained Simply playlist on YouTube, and almost finished with the Basic Concepts in Kabbalah one. I read Attaining the Worlds Beyond (twice,) Kabbalah Revealed, Kabbalah Science and the Meaning of Life, Unlocking the Zohar (several times,) and I’m on page 340 of the Zohar.
Compared to 15 years ago y’all have done an incredible job of making enough content to be immersed as often as I like. And in the past I enjoyed the books and wished there was nothing else I had to do. It just seems like recently there is so much urgency to do more. I guess it finally sunk in.
why is it so agonizing how long it takes to get to group work?
I feel like I’m a fire fighter and I’m standing in a burning building waiting for the water to turn on. Literally everyone I care about is in this building.
I’m the last person I know who isn’t drowning in very serious problems. I feel a powerful urgency to help, but I’m somehow held away from everyone. So I am just here obsessively listening to these videos and reading these books that very VERY clearly describe a solution. And I feel like the solution is already working for me. But I can just barely share any of that relief with anyone else. It has to be because I don’t have a group yet.
It is interesting to me that I’m not the only one feeling this new description of the GE/AHP is an epiphany.
This is the first time I understand that the GE is the part of myself I can see. And that explains something that really struck me from a previous lesson. There was a description there of achieving an ability to feel the feelings of others and receive in their vessels, (by bestowing to them,) with full sensation of their feelings and perspectives. At the time that sounded like getting some kind of super power of telepathy or becoming an empath.
But now I understand that is describing Gadlut. In Gadlut the entire partzuf is above the dividing line of GE from AHP. So the GE can SEE EVERYTHING. It can see its entire self. Of course it can feel the feelings of the others!
We see the sorrow and longing in this world, and we understand what it is for and the beauty it creates in us, but at the same time we turn to the Creator and tell Him how tired we are and that it’s time to bring us home.
Examining your relationship with everything in reality, from a rock all the way to a person. Understanding how you objectify it all, and realizing that it is ALL the Creator and you. The way you treat each object, creature and person is who you are in your relationship with the Creator. Then you try to develop a conscientious relationship with every aspect of reality. And where you struggle with that, you ask the Creator for help, and He responds in stunningly subtle and clever ways.
Where it says that the creature shattered and all the pieces fused with all the individual desires contained in each one. . . is that like the idea of a holographic universe, where each unit within that universe is also a representation of the whole?
Is that how Arvut works, that as each universe (person) improves their image of reality, that they are all impacted?
