Dave,
Great question, because in the first place if we are a receiver and will always remain a receiver, what anyway can we bestow?
So on the one hand there is the desire to receive that developed according to the four phases: inanimate, vegetative, animate and speaking. During this time the desire is growing in order that we feel ourselves and develop a desire for the Creator, not simply a desire for food, sex, family like all animals and money, honor, knowledge and power like the other social humans creatures, but that we a new desire appears in us for eternity.
All of our work is not to attain the thing, our work is to attain a desire for the thing. We are sitting before a set table with all of the delights. We exist in the upper light, our problem is that we don’t discover it because we don’t have the right vessel for it. For us to develop a desire for love, for bestowal, really it is an intention, we remain as receivers but we work with our intention that we want to receive not towards ourselves but towards the Creator, the others, all of reality is outside of my imaginary perception. When I want only for myself that is called that I am a will to receive with an intention to receive. When I want to connect with the system with the life of lives, with the source of all good, with the integral connection of all of reality, that is called that I am a desire to receive with an intention to bestow.
Seth@KabUShaun,
You are correct, there is a book that is called the Torah, or a group of books including the prophets and the writings.
But what this is referring to is the light that is contained in the books.
The ego must grow, by this we do not remain as beasts who only run all day to fill their “belly”, but our ego grow so much that we want to devour the world and on top of that we draw that light that corrects it.
At the end of the day, we are a desire to receive and that will not change, we cannot bestow.
What we can do is receive with an intention to bestow so that all of our receiving is for the sake of the whole system that we are an integral part of, we receive for the sake of the Creator.
That action comes as a result of the light that reforms us.
Seth@KabUYvon,
The answer depends on the goal that you want to attain.
Imagine that there are 10,000 white blood cells per cubic millimeter of your blood.
When we breathe bacteria enters our body and the white blood cells attack and kill the bacteria all day. When we get a cut the white blood cells go and fight the bacteria that try to get in through the cut.
Imagine if you could give a voice and emotions to each of those little battles, millions of little fights and wars all day, every day from the moment that you are born until your last breath.
You can look in a microscope and see your cells and study them because you are on a degree above them.
Now imagine that you find a method and through studying and connecting you begin to perceive that you are not just this person called Yvon who sees reality through these two eyes, but you start to perceive in a common vessel that Yvon is is a cell in the body of humanity and all together there is completely different perception and you are not relating to these things in the same way.
Yes they happen, but the whole perception of them itself changes.
Now simultaneously you also feel life as the part called Yvon because specifically from these feelings of repulsion and fear and anger that those terrible things that you listed bring up, that drives us to want to find an answer, to exit the limited perception and by this we attain something while we live.
Seth@KabUJohn,
It sounds like you have a lot of preparation.
The most difficult part of the path of the kabbalist is to discover that point where the spiritual action is made.
You have found something very special here. Try when you are studying the wisdom of kabbalah to leave all of the other methods on the side.
Only your accumulated emotional power should remain, but the structures and understandings from the other methods will confuse you. All of them. You won’t believe me, but start studying here like you are a child and it’s all new.
We received our method from the kabbalists who attained Godliness and that is our goal.
An infant doesn’t learn to speak and walk by studying books, but by being under their influence of the upper ones.
So we are not physically children, so we can open the books and draw the lights from them using our mind and heart.
But our approach is not that we are going to do it, it is the light that comes and fills that big empty deficiency that we built through our efforts.
We will go together step by step.
Looking forward to hearing about your progress,
Seth@KabUHi Ralitza,
There are many reasons why the wisdom of kabbalah was hidden but those limitations are all lifted in our generation.
In short, you can imagine giving a teenager a sports car and a suitcase of cash the kind of troubles he can get in, but maybe you want to give him all the cars and a mountain of money, even more the Creator wants to give us all of all of the worlds. Everything is according to the preparation of the lower ones.
The wisdom is built on questions and answers.
I keep many many note books, dozens and I write notes in the margin of the books that we study.
I recommend that you write your questions. If you do it in a google doc or on the computer, you can catagorize them based on technical questions such as what is Galgalta V’einaim or curiosity questions like who built the Egyptian pyramids.
But the questions are good, and the more you can relate the questions to the material that we are studying together, the more swiftly you will feel how you start to come closer to the answers or start to hear the answers in the lessons.
Good luck,
Seth@KabUMaika,
When you get up in the morning? Who do you shower? Who do you dress? Who do you feed? Which shows do you watch? All day we are seeking to fill ourselves with pleasure.
I understand that we have feelings that we are upset with ourselves or that we are frustrated with ourselves or we don’t like how our body looks, etc. This is something else.
I encourage you to observe your life today and if you are honest you will discover that every thing that you do, even if you do something for another, it is because of what you will get in return, in the form of money, honor, respect, safety, etc.
This is not to be judged because this is how the Creator made us as a will to receive.
Let me know how this exercise goes.
Good luck and looking forward to the next steps.
Seth@KabU
