We fortify our connection by becoming more like the Creator by 1} become intentional in shedding our egoistic way of self-interest 2} Continuing to study, meditate on the teachings and developing selfless actions. 3} By allowing ourselves to be used to display the Divine light of the Creator we influence those around us for good.
We amplify its transformative influence by practicing mindfulness of the Divine through prayer, meditation, and integrating this awareness into daily life We also recognize the need for connection and bonding with our fellow students.
The following is from research:
Finding the Concealed Light:Â Actively seeking the divine light or hidden goodness within challenging, negative, or chaotic situations rather than simply reacting to them.
Humility and Self-Reflection:Â Recognizing the need for help from above and clearing the ego of its self-centered motivations to create space for the Light.
“Ultimately the goal is to develop a vessel (desire) that is large enough to contain the divine light. This vessel is expanded by working on oneself and performing actions of selfless love, which allows the light to remain and resonate within.”
All in all, knowledge without application does one no good. We must be intentional about our behavior by allowing the Divine Light to help us align with the mind of the Creator.
Do not focus on the externals. We all have specific characteristics of personality. The real change takes place in the heart. As we change we impact those around us. Allow the Creator’s love to radiate through us and out towards others.
For me the self-centered mindset ONLY thinks about what benefits it. The mentality is “look at me” how talented, intelligent, beautiful I am. Look at what I have achieved in life, be it materially, educationally or even spiritually. This is NOT what the Creator wants for his creation
He wants us to love and consider others. We must change/correct our inherent egoistic nature which is one of receiving only for oneself to a nature of bestowal, which imitates the quality of the Creator. We do this by our study of Kabbalah and adopting a higher force or Upper Light that transforms human nature.
My expectations are 1) how to apply the knowledge in everyday life. 2) how to weave what I’ve learned in my conversations with others 3) Continue to develop the mind of the Creator by putting aside my ever-present desire to receive 4) to understand what it means to develop connection with my fellow students. Put aside my egoistic nature and love with compassion and purity of heart. 5) Deepen my spiritual journey by staying on the Path of Light and continuing to move closer and closer to the Upper Level
