Sometimes I think the issue with loving your neighbor as yourself, is that it appears so many people do not love themselves. If they would they would not do such destructive things to themselves, their families and even friends. My father always told me look at how a person treats their mother, and that is how they will treat you. My question then, is has egoism actually killed love for ourselves?
Remembering thoughts that I had about life and the Creator as a child, and then finding them again in Kabbalah. It gave me encouragement that the Creator is awakening my point in the heart. Sometimes I would read something in our studies that might as well have been in Greek. Then later on it would click, or I would come back to it and it would now make total sense. It made me understand that when the Creator wanted the “gate” to open, He would open them. Also as someone else mentioned, my quest for spirituality in other paths has diminished, it has almost become a repulsion.
Hello.
In the readings from the Guide to the hidden Wisdom of Kabbalah on page 69 it says “He gave us the desire to be like him” and on page 70 it says “Creator did not instill in us the wish to be like him”, it seems like a contradiction. Can you please explain?
On pages 49-50, It talks about “The Thought of Creation caused creation to happen…Phase 0 generated 4 more phases, which then generated a Root World…The root world, called Adam Kadman generated 4 more worlds: Atzilut, Beria, Yetzira and Assiya.” I thought phase 0 of the Thought of Creation was Adam Kadman, but if I read correctly there are 4 other worlds before Adam Kadman. Can you please explain and if there are 5 worlds prior to the creation of Adam Kadman what are they?
Thank you.
That the Creator only wants us to be happy, so everything we perceive as being negative is really not. Like Dr. Laitman says, parents want the best for their children and if they correct the child it is for the child’s benefit, the child can choose to see it that way knowing that their parents love them, or a child can choose to se it negatively. Ultimately, it is the intention behind the action that needs to be understood.
I can’t recall where I saw it, but it mentioned something about our lives being a movie that is playing out. As a child I always thought that that was exactly what was happening. The Creator already knows our life story and its ending because he directed the movie. We are just lost in the role and have forgotten that it is a movie we are watching.
