Bonnie,
This is a common question for people who begin to open the books of kabbalah.
This is a common confusion that many students have.
On the one hand you live in this world, with police and laws and money and rain and sun and food and work and you must live in this world like a regular creature.  You need to be kind sometimes you need to be assertive sometimes and that is how it is in this physical world.  You cannot try to behave in a loving way to a person who is trying to steal from you or hurt you, you must get away and call the police.  You cannot tell your landlord that you love him and you don’t have money to pay rent.
Maybe you love him, but you have to pay your rent every month.

And on the other hand we start to open up the spiritual world, our inner emotional world, we start to feel that there is a guiding force, a governing force that controls all of reality.  This force guides me and you and the police and the moon and everything.  And we start to study the single, guiding force called the Creator.  And slowly we learn how to make spiritual contact.

And then later we will see how everything even the police and the landlord all come into focus in the spiritual system.

Williams,
Take small bites.
Why does it say “wise heart”?
Because in the wisdom of kabbalah we attain in our sensations, not in our mind.
Like we see the way that a baby learns, by sitting on the floor and being with the upper ones, soon the baby can communicate with them.
That is how we will advance.

Jj,
This example comes to tell us that the actions of one affects the other, that we are in a closed system.
By the time there is a hole in the boat, it may be too late, if there is a storm or if there are no materials to close the hole.
Of course in spirituality there is no time, but in this particular incarnation of form that may be the end.
Anyway, it is a simple example to show how much we are dependent upon each other whether we know it or not.

If it’s not too late, and if words aren’t helping, and if you can, maybe knock him out, fix the hole, get yourself to shore, make him tea and lunch and when he wakes up try to explain that you saved his life and that he shouldn’t drill a hole in a boat even if he’s mad at you because he is killing himself too.

Yajaira,
First we need to understand a bit about who we are, where we are and what is happening to us.
First of all, we are 100% a will to receive.  That does not change.  Actually it only grows.
The Creator’s thought is to create a creature and fill it with delight.
So, you need to develop to want all of the endless fulfillment that the Creator wants to give you.

Since the will to receive will not change, because we need to receive from Him, but in order to receive spiritual light we need to calibrate ourselves.  We can receive food, sex, money all kinds of things from this world.  They come and go and most of our life we feel empty, but by being in the spiritual environment, more and more the light influences us and the friends around us give us a good example and we start to value bestowal more and more.  So we still receive, but we want to bestow and we start to bestow in our intention 1% so we feel the upper world 1% and then 2% and we feel the upper world 2%, etc…

Paul,
Thoughts are the most powerful force.
And it’s correct that thoughts run to fulfill the will of the desire.
In the kabbalah we say, “a wise heart”.  That wisdom comes from the heart, not the mind.
