From SHAMATI, the essence of one’s work:
Hence, one’s primary exertion should be to acquire a force
that feels taste in bestowing, which is through lessening the force
that feels taste in self-reception. In that state one slowly acquires
the taste in bestowing.Question: But how? Since our egoistic nature is to receive? How to balance between the right hand and the left hand, between Klipa and Kedusha , what is the turning point, where the point in the heart passes the barrier? How to balance the scales?
By “” hating evil”? I notice that there are many “how”s in my question, I guess I am being impatient with myself.
Imagination (not Fantasy) , is for me a powerful tool to come to understand things, the power of visualization.
So the clip with Rav Leitman explaining about cogwheels showed clearly that for the system (existence) to operate according to plan, it is all about interconnectedness and interdependency. All for One and one for all.
Insightfull. Thanks.
i can feel it sometimes in the overwhelming force of Nature , an act (thought) of loving, giving to us, created beings.
The concepts of the surrounding light , the path ahead (the steps, degrees) and the reshimot were eye-openers in the previous course.
Expectations in the next course concern with more revealment and less concealment and a growing connectedness with(in) the group.
What inspired me most is the insight, again but now more forcefully, that our perception of reality is upside-down. As a consequence I lam beginning to look at life fom both sides now, from the material/spiritual or inside/outside polarity and what connects them, or put it differently: what is the meaning of it all?
What is the force behind the scene? Looking for meaning also raises many questions, but glimpses of thruth (as I understand it) makes life more lively, Bonus! Which I like to share with people around me.
For the group I wish a mutual understanding and a gradual realization of the wisdom offered to us.
May we all benefit from it.
From the recommemded reading, I quote: “There is a discernment of “mind” and a discernment of “heart” in the
above-mentioned equivalence of form. The engagement in Torah and Mitzvot
in order to bestow contentment upon one’s Maker is equivalence of form in the
mind. “”.My question: What would be an example of equivalence of form of “heart”” ?
Ad also: could you explain Mitzvot Lishma (for Her Name)? Who or what is She?
