Alberto,
Altruism is a result.
In spirituality, everything is mutual and integral, each working for the benefit of the whole.
Seth@KabUVarda,
I’m sure you have plenty of complaints about how everything is.
If you could see the final goal, you would understand exactly why everything is exactly the way it is and there is no other way it could be. You are deciding from where you sit that the Torah should or shouldn’t have been revealed the way it was and that the wisdom of kabbalah should or shouldn’t have been revealed in the way it was.
You might as well ask why did the shattering of the soul of Adam HaRishon happen in the world of Atzilut!?
Or you may ask, why did the Creator create Malchut of Ein Sof, an infinitly empty desire?!
You will learn all of these things and they are good questions.
But what is in your hands to do, that is the most important question that you asked and from here all of your other questions and answers will be revealed.
What is in your hands right now is to make a very good and strong foundation in the fundamentals of the wisdom of kabbalah.
Later you will be able to work in a 10, a mini model of humanity and work in practical kabbalah, but none of that will be arranged correctly without a foundation in the fundamentals.
So study from week to week all of this lesson material, take notes, write about it, make poems about it, whatever you can do so that it starts to live in you, so that you start to feel in your life what you are learning in your classes.
Seth@KabUJack,
Let’s say you inherited 20 million dollars.
But let’s say you didn’t know about it. And you go to work, and you take care of life and you are worth 20 million dollars, but, you don’t know about it.
Then one day someone comes to your door and explains that a long lost uncle left you all of this money and it is yours to do whatever you want with.
So the 20 million was yours before, but you didn’t know.
So let’s say that is us with the Creator now. He is here, revealed in all of His glory, but I don’t see it, I don’t feel it like that, not because of Him, but because of my awareness.Now let’s understand another scenario. Imagine that one is totally adhered to the Creator in every thought and feeling, every smallest detail is in absolute harmonious synchronization with the thought of the Creator. Well in that scenario, the person ceases to exist, he is totally nullified before the Creator, totally absorbed, like a spark is indistinguishable inside of the sun.
Now we can understand why there is the concealment, so that we would not remain nullified and opposite from the Creator, but that we would go through a special process whereby we would be separated and then by traversing the distance between Him and me, I come to know Him, understand Him, feel Him, arrive to be with Him in unity.
Seth@KabUMarta,
Read the story again and feel that everything that is being described there is happening in our desire.
After you have done that exercise, if there is another question ask and I will answer.
Seth@KabUVarda,
If you take dirt and mix it with water and develop it for billions of years and burn it and stretch it and compress it and break it until it becomes vegetative life and then keep developing it until it becomes an animal and keep developing it until it becomes a person and now raise that person to the degree of attainment of the Creator, so that is a complex process.
Religion is a particular stop along the way to the goal of uniting humanity that is a vessel in which the light of the Creator will dwell.
So I’m not suprised that people who are more primitive in their desires adhere to customs and culture that they feel connects them to something.
The quesiton for you to ask is what is in our hands to do now that our point in the heart awakened and we start to feel that there is more to life than what religion shows me.
