I been thinking about why I’m doing this studies and think it is because I want answers. I guess I have to keep reading the Kabbalah texts with the right intention and I’ll know the answers.
1.- I don’t know why I’m looking to bond with the creator. I accept and believe that this universe is the work of a creative energie, but to establish and feel a connection with this creative power it seem not possible because the idea I have is just that, an idea.
I understand Tony’s explanation that this situation is designed so I suffer and crave for that connection. But if I don’t feel the presence of the creator how can I miss that presence in my life?
I relate this situation with the one when I am trying to woo a girl, if I have feelings for her it hurts me when she disappears or get mad at me or whatever a woman do for no apparent reason, when in reality she is making my feelings for her increase, so I make a lot of changes in my behavior just trying to please her, not knowing what works, meanwhile the need to be with her grows with each rejection. How can I have a feeling this powerful if I don’t know her?
2.- Then it says that the benefit of this rejections is to give a complete need and desire for the creator because without the creators help he knows he is lost.
“That is, he lacks the strength to observe Torah and Mitzvot [commandments] even Lo Lishma [not for Her sake]”
I don’t know what this last sentence expects a person to do.
If I try to feel something when I think on the words “There is None Else Besides Him” I stop feeling isolate.
Finding out that many of the ideas you teach live inside me and they are waiting for me to uncover them. Last course I found this to be true and in the present course I expect to uncovered more concepts.
Hi Albert and thank you for taking the time to answer my question.
Just trying to understand and feel the light that corrects the desire I will evoke it. Beautiful.
An example for me to understand equivalence of form was the artisan and his work, a carpenter for example, in order to build a table, he has to work the wood in certain ways so he can finish with a table the resembles the idea he had of the table he wanted to build, to do that he had to solve the problems or situations he encountered with the material. Now if I see that table and study the way he solve the problems I will get in touch with some of his mental process and understand him a bit more (assuming I’m building a table like his and trying to solve the same problems). Is it my understanding the equivalence of form with the carpenter? If so how my desires can find this equivalence with the laws?
