Addictions are some of the most intense desires we have. As we speak, an opioid crisis hits the US. And many people world wide struggle with all kind of addictions. It destroys lives and numbs the minds of those who are in it. How can people that are so stuck in their addictions ever begin to see or understand the thought or intention of the creator of all things they feel or happens to them?
I wish for all my fellow students to feel the intention of the creator in every moment of our lives.
In the recommended readings, I read that we should put as much time and effort in the study of Kabbalah as possible. But it is not only about the quantity of study, but according to dr. Laitman mainly about the quality of time invested. I also understand now, that I should try to evaluate all of my actions with the questions; why am I doing this? What are my intentions?
What confuses me is that I live a very result-driven live. I am an entrepeneur, whit 2 kids growing up, and recently started a study to become better at what I do professionally. To be able to handle this I invest a lot of time in staying healthy; running 3 times a week, going to the gym, finding the best ways to eat for my family and myself. This often feels like a ‘path of pain’, so I can relate to the things written by dr. Laitman. However, if I am able to change the intention behind all the actions that drive my day to day life; would that set me on the ‘path of light’ without changing the actual structure of my life? In other words; does it really matter what I do when my intentions are right?
