Rae,
We have 1000s of names for the Light. We call the Creator by many names all according to our changes.
For example, someone calls you daughter and someone else calls you mom, another calls you friend, etc.  But you are you.
In actuality, reality is just you and everything else is the Creator relating to you.
The Creator’s attitude towards us is arranged in a very systematic way so that we, the lower ones can climb from a lower to degree to a higher degree.
We are advancing according to the surrounding light that is advancing us.
When we will truly achieve the Torah, we will see that we take it above our egoistic calculation. When we are immersed in the ego so much that we see how much we must have this light to reform us and without it we are unable to exit from this control of the ego.
Seth@KabUScott,
You wake up in the morning and you have some feeling in you and then your mind goes to work…how to deal with that feeling…so you think “c-o-f-f-e-e”. Then “I’ll take a shower, then I’ll feel more awake.”
We are desire. And from there it rises to our thoughts and is clothed in words.
So we can use this system and even prompt our desire. Start formulating words, even mechanically. Of course asking the Creator to help me be connected to the Him, to the friends, to the sources … it doesn’t change Him, but it slowly calibrates me to Him more and more, it starts directing my desire more and more.
And when the desire does arise in me, in my heart as we say, as you wrote, so that itself is a prayer. The desire of our heart is the prayer. So speak to Him in your heart if it awakens and also use your mouth and your thoughts when you can as well.
The main thing is we are working to calibrate ourselves to a bigger, integral reality, our spiritual nature, which we refer to as our second nature and to not stay all the time in our first, instinctual nature which is always focused on me, me & me.
Seth@KabUSara,
Our work is called the work of the Creator.
Really, it means that He is doing the work.
This is something that you will have to get used to and it takes some time, maybe a few weeks or months.
How will the Creator get you to feel that you need Him?
If you feel that you are able to correct the world and make things better, then why do you need Him?
But if you did everything you can do (not less than that, you must do everything that is in your hands to do) and after all of that, you did not see success, then you have to turn to Him.
You need to ask Him to finish the job.
But what job? Are you asking for Him to make your company successful? So that is one thing.
Are you asking Him to be with you in everything, whether it is raining or sunny, up or down, in or out, no matter what I want to be with You.
And then soon you will feel that the changes in the world are like you changing your shirt. You stay connected to Him all the time and the world around you goes through many changes as it advances.
The most important is to speak to Him a lot, talk to Him, ask Him to be with you, to help you, to guide you.
And then you go through everything in life with confidence, if it looks sunny or if it looks dark, He is with you, next to you, your best friend. And meanwhile He is taking care of developing the entire world towards love and the world will go through many transformations that seem very confusing to our eyes until all the world comes to love one another.
Patience,
Seth@KabUHolly,
Our path is a path of natural development.
Just like all natural paths of development.
You can watch incredible shows on Netflix and Youtube about how our solar system was formed and how our planet came to be and then slowly how vegetation came to be as the first cells started to convert sunlight into energy and produce waste from that mixture, etc.
We are continuing the natural progression.
However, there is one major shift for us specifically.
Until now everything went through changes over long periods of time.
However with us, we now have developed hearts and minds and with these we can rise above the chains of normal cause and effect.
We can do what nothing else can do, and that is reflect on the past as if looking into a mirror and seeing where are the flaws and how to better correct our future and therefore speed up our development, to literally go through months, years, lifetimes of development in very short periods of time and reach degrees of equivalence with the force of nature that is developing us and enlivening all of reality called the Life of Lives.
Seth@KabUSara,
I’m not sure what you want to achieve.
For example I want to renovate my kitchen. The fastest way to get money is to steal it so I pray to the Creator to give me success in my robbery and I only want to steal from the bank and receive the money for His sake so that my home can be warm and updated.
It’s a joke, but I don’t understand what you mean that something didn’t work out. How are you judging that?
If you went to play the lottery and prayed the Creator would give you success and you have the “intention” that the Light can share in it and you don’t win the lottery, does that mean the Creator didn’t answer your prayer?Of course we want to have success in our work otherwise why get up in the morning, just to fail?
We are confusing ourselves in the work to think that we are not trying to be efficient and successful in our lives. The will to receive does not want to move unless she feels she will get some reward. On the other hand, above the animate degree where these actions take place we are also building a relationship with the Creator, which is a spiritual connection which is above time and space. Your prayer can travel across the world instantaneously and across time. So when you don’t see some newtonian physics reaction to your prayer, this is not a surprise. I pray for rain and it rains? But what about the network of billions upon billions of forces that need to be accounted for?
I can think of several fundamental points in kabbalah with your question and I want to answer what you’re asking, so help me understand what is the problem here.
Seth@KabULora,
This beautiful experience comes from above, from the surrounding light and this helps awaken us to rise above the animal level of our existence. These awakenings are given as a gift from above.
Some people have some experiences like this and circle around it all their lives dabbling in all kinds of different things. And then there are a few who find a method that was passed from teacher to student for thousands of years, a method that brings a person to reveal Godliness in our life.
You made it here. All of your instructors here in KabU are long time students of the kabbalist Rav Laitman. We will learn more about the method and how to work with all of these feelings.
There is the adventure of a lifetime ahead, all leading to a good life for everyone. It is a very ambitious goal, nevertheless this is where Nature/God is developing us to.
Later, after you learn some of the fundamentals we will start to work together with the friends on how to rise on the spiritual ladder along two lines, the left which is the revelation of the distance between us and the right line which we build as relations of love and between these two, a third line is built from above.
The difference in this work is that whereas now you are feeling the surrounding light shining as a gift, later we will build a structure and relations between us in order to draw greater and greater lights on top of the separations. Through our efforts we come to know and feel the qualities of the Creator.
