When the friends thank me I don’t know how to react because it’s not “me” they are thanking and I can’t take credit for what occurs through me. How do i relate to this in order to give joy to the friends at the same time as being a zero?

What are these further degrees?

What about when i feel resistance before engaging in lessons, readings, and meeting with the ten? I know that it’s important to engage no matter the feeling, and that the feeling can indicate where i am relative to “what brings me closer to the Creator”. I know that joy is a great commandment, so enjoying the work is not necessarily a bad thing. I know that engaging with Kabbalah is generally always a good thing. It’s just there is a thought that says “I will only engage on my terms when it suits me” which seems antithetical to what I’ve learnt so far. Advice that I have heard many times is to make a consistent time everyday to dedicate toward studying, yet this is really difficult for me to achieve. There is something missing here…

Does only engaging in the wisdom of Kabbalah “when I feel like it”, when it is pleasant to do so defeat the point of doing the work?

For there to be great fear, must there be also a great reward? And if one has fear for the creator, then is the reward not for the ego but for the sake of the creator?

Why is it that the articles in the daily lessons seem to speak exactly to something occurring in my world that day?
