Fellow seekers are the only place we have to put the Light.
We are floating points of view. We ourselves are so ephemeral that it passes right through us and we don’t even detect it.
We need to realize that humanity is our house, and we are just the window glass, so if we want to see the Light shine we need to look at where we passed it into the house, and realize how much we treasure the contents of that house, and also what an incredible gift it is that Light shines into it.
Is this talking about the states where it is clear that a situation, piece of information, or feeling has been sent by the Creator specifically relating to your studies?
“In this way, instead of feeling a tiny bit of life: cold here, hot there, a bit of light, a bit of shade, we begin to feel piercing states. We feel, “with whom we have business,” who is giving us power and life, how it is possible to relate to the Creator and enter into a connection with Him: “I am to the Highest, and He is to me.” In other words, we begin to attain the Creator and rise to His level.”
I also want to ask about something Julian said last Saturday in group work. He mentioned that people there would be invited to the graduate environment. How does that occur?
A person can’t hear the answer until they have the question. Just like they can’t appreciate something until they have a deficiency of it and want to have it.
Studying Kabbalah means that I know a lot of answers other people are looking for. I have privileged access to information that most people assume doesn’t even exist.
I think dissemination is hearing a question that a person considers rhetorical, but they long for the answer, and then giving it to them in a form that they can understand, test, and benefit from.
And for some people…. the ones I would call the “ark” people and not the “flood” people… you can connect them to this place so they can get their own answers.
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.”
