Eva,
We all go through many confusions along the way.
Spirituality is attainment, not confusion or imagination.
Of course as you start to feel that there is another reality, you feel like you are losing grip of this world.
But this doesn’t happen at all.
Don’t worry, your bills will still come in the mail and need to be paid.
The advice is to stabilize yourself in this world with your family and your health, recreation, etc. And also to engage in your set times in the study and if you have some free time you can also engage in the study.
If you do this, you will develop smoothly and much more comfortably.
Yes you go through ups and downs, ins and outs, confusion and clarity, but faster, and with more understanding of what is happening, how we are advancing through all of these states, tying everything into one.
Seth@KabUEva,
There is none so wise as the experienced.
A kabbalist learns to live in two worlds at the same time.
It takes time, but you will become accustomed to it.
Seth@KabUMatanah,
Of course it is good.
The ego isn’t so thrilled about the situation. He doesn’t know how he’s going to get paid if everything is for the sake of the Creator and not for him.
Seth@KabUEva,
If I go to see a concert, I can be impressed by the band. But if I’m a business man, maybe I’m counting seats multiplied by the number of dollars per ticket multiplied by the cost of t-shirts and thinking of if this is a good business to go into.
If I’m the guy selling hot dogs I’m thinking how many hot dogs can I sell.
So we are “in” the environment, but in what way am I influenced. And to what degree have I placed myself in the environment.
I can be the usher showing people to their seats and I’m in the concert hall every night but I don’t have an emotional experience.
Where are you? How are have you planted yourself in the spiritual environment? What is the goal you hope to achieve by being in this environment?
These questions are for you to ask yourself. You are an artist in the spiritual realm. A slogan such as “let the environment influence you” is a slogan, but what does it mean, what are the nuances, where is the investment of inner power? Think about it. Work on it.
You’ll see how it works from your own experience.
Seth@KabUAndrea,
Here is a great book by a wonderful friend and long time student of our teacher the kabbalist Rav Laitman.
This book will reveal many of the secrets of the Bible for you.
