By being one with the creator. The creator’s only desire is to bestow upon his creatures nothing but pleasure, to fill us with light but for his creatures to have the equivalence of form with the creator we need to correct our desires, our wish to receive by changing our intentions to one which receives to bestow.
May the light shine strong and brightly in every one of you so that our lights stretch out from our hearts to merge and become one with the creator
That the authors of books are passing on not only their writings but the essence of their minds. Starting to understand the concept of not only trying to comprehend the text I am reading but to feel it. Asking myself, how do the words make me feel inside as I read them. Even though I cannot understand or have difficulty understanding some of the recommended readings, I do find myself having moments of feeling/emotion as I relate the text to life, my life. Thoughts appear as I am reading that make me stop reading as I reflect on comparisons and memories of my own life experiences. It helps me understand these events in my life on a much deeper level than ever before, like finally there is some revealing of truth.
As Above, So Below, my life is already mapped out for me, right from birth, all my failures, all my successes, all my joys, all my sorrows, were all gifts that have brought me to where I am now, reflecting on life and wanting to find a deeper spiritual meaning to it all. Having already experienced a glimpse of the spiritual world through other spiritual practices throughout my life, I desire deeper connection with the forces of nature/creator. Now and then I feel a connection with the forces of nature strongly and it brings me close to ecstasy/pleasure/love/an abundance of joy but the moments are only fleeting, my wish is to learn to sustain it.
This is more of a comment than a question. From what I have learnt so far with week 1, to this point now of week 2 and all of the pre-course videos I watched, I have this strong sensation/feeling that is drawing me to want to volunteer/donate/perform acts of altruism more regularly with no desire to receive anything in return. I know that when I do perform these acts I feel really good inside my heart and mind so I do perceive a benefit from my act of bestowal. So I guess there is a question, is performing acts as mentioned above considered an altruistic act of bestowal like the creator? or because there is a perceived benefit, a powerful one, it is not true altruism.
