I’ve learned that even when I’ve believed that I’ve been giving, that if I peel back the surface acts, my intention has been to receive pleasure because if giving didn’t give me some form of pleasure, I probably wouldn’t have done it. I wish for my fellow students to persist through the discomfort of not knowing and understanding. I wish that they are able to use their screens effectively to create vessels of bestowal.
I wish for my fellow classmates that they are able to approach the material with a genuine intention to be equivalent of form with the Creator and that they are able to bring their authentic selves into their interactions in the group, not repeating slogans, but genuine messages of connections from the heart with each other. I believe the we can rebuild the collective soul and become vessels for the light through this type of humility and through honest self-reflection when our egos are revealed to us.
Isn’t the desire to give in the state of Binah Bet, really just a desire to receive pleasure from giving from the perspective of the creature?
I wish for my fellow students that they are able to be open to the science of Kabbalah and realize that they don’t have to stay in a state of suffering under the false belief that their suffering must be for their own good. Suffering increases when we are not listening to or acting on the messages we receive, guiding us to what is better and more fulfilling for us. If we peel back the layers, we may find fear of the unknown which means we are lacking in faith. We must go above reason.
