Dallas,
Yes, it means that we do not want to receive for the sake of the ego.

Linda,
The kabbalists say that everything that is taking place in this world, whether it is giving or taking is all an expression of our “will to receive”.  Everyone is trying to satisfy themselves.  Some people take until there is nothing left to take and others feel that it is better to give, so they give until they are all dried out.  But all of this are conducts of this world.

We will learn to stabilize ourselves in this world and learn to bestow on the spiritual dimension.

Dana,
Let’s clarify somethings that will clarify what we are learning.
There were 1000s of generations that came before us and we are result of them, the color of our hair, our eyes, our height, the size of our hands and the tendencies that we were born with.  In addition to that, we grew up with songs and TV and movies and food and schools, friends, hobbies, etc and if we were born in on another continent instead somewhere far away, then the songs and TV and music and school and hobbies would have all been different.  For example If Michael Jordan was born in Hawaii and became a surfer instead of a basketball player, the world wouldn’t have had one of the greatest basketball players of all time, even though that guy existed, if he grew up somewhere else under different conditions, he would have turned out different.

And if we examine our lives, if we had instruments to measure every detail of our lives, we would see that everything we do is predetermined, determined by our genes and our upbringing and our society, etc.

So whatever each of us was given by nature is perfect.  Whatever you have, whatever qualities you have, and whatever each and everyone has, its all perfect.  Can we say that there is some flaw in a peacock or a dolphin or an eagle or a bear?  Each one was made meticulously by nature, just like us.

But in addition to our protein body, we developed to have all kinds of inner sensations that no other animals have.  We start to have inner yearnings for something out of this world.  That is not a terrestrial desire.  It comes from the spiritual worlds.  What we are learning now is how to work with that force, how to work with the inner minus and plus forces to reveal spiritual light.
Read the materials again and again and try to feel what is behind the words.

The answer will come.

Basma,
We are egoists.  If we give, if we are empathetic, it is because it bothers us or hurts us if we do not do that.  Some people are born that they prefer to be kind.  But that is the shape of their ego.  That is not something spiritual.
Something spiritual is something additional that we acquire during our lives on the spiritual path, it is a second nature, not the one that we are born with.
We will learn about this in great detail together over the next few months and years.

Basma,
For simple things in life, you need to be like a regular person.  If you don’t pay the bill on time, you will get late fees.  There is nothing spiritual about that.  It is like if you spill milk in the kitchen then the kitchen is dirty.  If you don’t clean it up then it is dirty and smelly.  And then it will become more and more rotten, until you decide to clean it or live with rotten milk in your kitchen.
This is not corporeal.  This is the same for all animals.  Look at how much time a cat takes to groom himself or how much time a bird takes to make a nest.  Every creature has to take care of the regular, simple life things, you can talk about self sabotage and other things, but gravity does not wait for anyone.
Now regarding spirituality, always pray, when the milk spills, when the milk doesn’t spill, when you are early and when you are late, always talk to the Creator like He is your best friend and tell Him that you want Him to guide you, to help you, to open up your spiritual eyes to see where He wants you to go, try to speak to Him more and more.
Good luck!

Jonathan,
So receive the chair from your friend so that you can fulfill his desire.
In our work, we are not talking about who is sitting and who is standing we are talking about the inner motion.
A person can give something to another but do it in order to deceive them.
So in your example, by you receiving the chair you are fulfilling/giving to your friend since he wants to give.
