Scott,
First of all, be prepared to understand that you are not prepared 🙂
At the end of the day you will stand before yourself, after all that is what we are given to work with and the ego is very crafty, he doesn’t want to give up his domain, he will let you work for the others, to love the others as long as he is getting paid in the form of honor, respect, pride, etc.
There is nothing to do about that.
But examine it all, watch it happen, understand what is happening and how the ego works as you start to work to be able to love others, see how the ego allows it only as much as he is getting paid and how otherwise he doesn’t give you the power to work.
We are not going to fight the ego. That is not our work.
We will only grow the importance of love and bestowal, that is how we ride on the big waves, above all the disturbances, constantly adjusting our balance.
Good luck and have patience,
Seth@KabUSara,
This is a very good question and right on target.
The more we advance in the wisdom of kabbalah, the more our desires grow!
Yes, it’s true. The Creator wants to fill us with endless delight, for the time being we only have corporeal desires and they are growing and growing, soon we will also have spiritual desires and they will grow and grow too.
We have in us desires on 4 degrees
Human/Spiritual
Animal
Vegatative
Inanimate
So, make a line between animal desires and spiritual desires.
The lower 3 degrees of desires are your life as you’ve always lived and as you will continue to live, food, sex, family, money, honor, knowledge, power.
So live with those like a normal person in this world. Redo your kitchen. Have a good dinner. Go on vacation.
Be a regular person.
And regarding spirituality, develop your inner world so that regardless of whether you are at work, in the car, on the beach, on the mountain, in the grocery store, your heart is more and more in love with the Creator, more and more desires love and connection and slowly slowly you’ll see how all of the transformations happen gradually, naturally and comfortably.Seth@KabU
Otienodhek,
When we speak of spiritual light we are talking about the light of fulfillment that emanates from the Creator and enlivens all life.
Seth@KabUCyndi,
These are great questions and they are all in the correct place.
Who am I? What am I doing? Can I get out of this hell? How? Does what I do matter?
These are the most valid questions.
And it should be clear to you that you are rising above the level of “beast” of the animate degree. Animals don’t ask these questions. And we, all the nice primates around us wearing clothes and driving to work, most are not bothered by these questions too much that they are ready to do something. Usually we cover the questions or drown them out until we can barely hear them. But you are asking them and they are growing and this is the beginning of our exit from a regular corporeal life and the little light that starts to shine at the entrance to a spiritual reality.
Regarding prayer, the desire of the heart is the prayer. We can say a lot of words and it is good to speak to the Creator like your best friend, say anything, whatever you want, you are confused, you are grateful, you are upset, you are overjoyed, speak to Him. The words are not as important as the heart is the true prayer and we use our words to help express or guide the heart sometimes.
You are on track.
Good luck and keep going,
Seth@KabUMarcia,
Imagine that a child made her first finger painting. It is a big wet mess on paper and she brings it to you so proud. She is giving and you are receiving the painting.
Now if you deny it, if you look at her with disgust at how messy and dirty it is, and you don’t receive so what happens? But if you receive it, you are actually giving her love and support and confidence.
So in this example, by receiving, you are giving to the child.
By this we start to understand that bestowing is not something that happens with the hand and feet, it is an inner attitude that whatever I am doing, giving, receiving, etc, but my inner attitude inverts from one of self-love to love of the other, which leads to love of the Creator.
We will learn about this more soon.
