By desire and an intention. By directing our intentions to head towards receiving to bestow and become more like the creator in thought, and connecting with our friends of like mindedness.
martinParticipantNot a wish for any individual but for all of us. I have noticed that there are substantial differences among all who connect on zoom meetings. All from different cultures, ethnic environments and I am sure we all differ from the influences of the environment we were raised in particularly when one realises the different age groups. For us to become “close” in thought with each other let alone for us to achieve equality of form with the creator looks to be quite a journey. So my wish is that through the study of kabbalah we will achieve that connection together and with the help of the creator see out the purpose for which we have been chosen. Be part of the building team that will play it’s part in restoring the collective soul, not for our sake but for the sake of all creation.

This has helped me retreat into my past experiences which at my age have been many and varied, a mixture of wellbeing and apparent disaster. It’s not such an easy journey realising who one is but when one realises that this is all controlled by the force of nature which is fixed and only has our best interests at heart, it puts everything in a true and  far more pleasurable light. The overwhelming conclusion is that it is not about me at all but about fixing me so I can help others with much more understanding and empathy.

On a practical level I have gone deep into the past and relived many of the experiences I went through as a child and in fact in adult life as well. Some good some seemingly not so good in fact they were still living in my head rent free. Not so anymore, everything is now in perspective, a clear adventure of the path to where I am now. Everything is a road map to an outcome which has been filled with purpose and direction. The rest of the journey is beginning to look like an adventure that I really don’t want to miss.

In the interact section the sense of seeing gives an example of the sun as having no qualities or structure that can be seen. Of course we perceive it as a very bright orange sphere somewhere out there. It’s quite a mind shift, I had to have a lie down and a cup of tea to sort that one out but I got there and wondered why I had not thought of this before, the explanation makes perfect sense. After the cup of tea however I cast my attention to the moon and related cosmic “structures.” A ball of gas, photons etc ,I can grasp the idea but the moon seems to be a different kettle of fish. Someone has walked on it. It seems to have material properties created from an exploding star a long time ago? I know my retina will transpose the imagery that I am looking at in terms of the inner programme of the 5 senses but what would the moon look like through a 6th sense. Or does it really matter?

I work with folk with learning disabilities and associated mental health issues and I have been wondering how much this deficiency might affect any progress towards degrees of pleasure or fulfilment? Tony indicated the point in the heart beginning to pulse at the back end of knowledge and the sort of limit of our desires in the physical world, which have now gone to sleep. Personally – eventually it will come back to me and my egotistical self – I have sort of gone through the basic desires and then in the great financial crash in 2008 lost my job and as a cause my house. I am therefore back to the beginning in animalistic desires. It is really difficult to adjust to this changed perception of physical reality and be able to concentrate on moving forward and I thought about how much the people  I work with must struggle. I guess the laws of nature will continue to drive us all toward the intended outcome perhaps it might take longer for some. Is this normal and a lesson in patience of which I have very little?
