Oliver,
I read your story and it sounds like you were standing at a spiritual gas station for 15 years filling up the tank and once the tank reached its fill, meaning once you acquired enought discernments and experiences and trying this and that, then the next degree illuminated for you. Meaning it was always there, it was there 15 years ago and even before you were born, but before you had arms and legs and a brain, it was impossible to think about it, to open a book, etc.
So, yes you are correct in your line of thinking. And you will understand it more after you have even more experience.
Seth@KabUBrenda,
The meaning of what you are saying is like with a child that is born into this world, they do not learn “intellectually”, but by being around the influence of the “upper ones” they develop, they learn to speak, to eat, etc, they don’t learn it because they “studied”.Speak to the Creator like your closest friend, your closest lover, the desire of your heart is a prayer.
If you are looking for texts to read while you do this, open Psalms or the Siddur, the order of prayers arranged by the Sages of the Great Assembly.
Seth@KabUEugenio,
Well, if you are advancing, then you do reach the limit of the intellect.
The mind wants to know, “if I give you power and excitement to do this study, so what am I going to get out of it”.
And the thing we are working on attaining is higher than the mind, so we run into a problem.
The solution for this is that a time of ascent we need to prepare ourselves and then we can surf though the time of descent quickly and again rise to the next higher ascent.
Seth@KabUEugenio,
Let’s say on the outside nothing changes. For the sake of this exercise, let’s just say that. Sometimes the tide rises, sometimes the tide subsides, sometimes the sun is shining, sometimes its dark.
That’s the will to receive, that is matter, that is the stuff of creation.
Now in addition to that there is another calculation, who is sending the waves, who is moving the sun?
That is where the spiritual action happens.
They physical action happens in your body. If you someone is going to hit you, so you get out of the way or hit them back, that is physical. You don’t stand there “rejecting the light”. However after a time of preparation where you calibrate your inner life to the forces that are operating on you, then you can also calculate how to work with the One who sends everything to you.
