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.
I would like to dispel any previous beliefs i have about the nature of God, life in the material world and the afterlife by furthering my studies in kabbalah and know the truth through self experience rather than solely just reading and listening to the wisdom. I wish to improve my myself and be a part of the collective that is also on the path to conscious oneness with the creator.
