Alicia,
We have an important concept called, as light excels from darkness.
The Creator created a will to receive that in the meantime only feels itself as a desire to receive.
Forbidden, impossible, it’s like putting a steak before a baby. Not only does the baby not relate at all to what is before him, but he doesn’t even have teeth or a digestive system to eat it and absorb it, his system is not yet prepared. That’s a baby, but what about a fetus, you can’t give a fetus a steak and even the seed and egg.
And towards spirituality we are not even implanted in the womb yet, this first zero state is the beginning of our switch from reception towards bestowal.
At first we don’t have any way to attain the light, but as light excels… we can accostom ourselves from our state of reception to feel what is it not to receive that is already something.
However, here too there is a discernment, there is ‘to receive’ which we cannot prevent, as the Creator made a desire to receive, but there is also the intention to receive. On this intention we will do all of our spiritual work.
To answer your question, we need to go through a process of being:
receivers in order to receive
bestow in order to receive
bestow in order to bestow
receive in order to bestow
We will learn together,
Seth@KabUPhilip,
Go from week to week. Try on what you are learning. See if it is true for you. Don’t believe anything, but from week to week make serious efforts in the material, work with it, rewrite it for yourself in a clear way as if you were going to one day teach it. Advance like this from week to week. Keep good notes, write down all of your questions. Go back to them after a month and after another month and see how things start to come into focus.
We are here to give you tools to discover all of this yourself.
Seth@KabUBen,
That is what we are here to learn.
First things first we need to understand who we are (100% will to receive), and if we are going to change, we need to not only understand, but to feel it and not only to feel it, but to start to feel how opposite we are from the Creator (100% bestowal) and how much we feel that we will never achieve equivalence with Him from our own powers since we cannot lift a finger unless we feel we will receive some reward, even just to feel better than I did before I moved the finger. So we require new feelings, we need to feel the greatness of the Creator so that we have power to go after Him.
We will learn all of this. Step by step so that you acquire it with your own hands.
Seth@KabUNiklas,
I can relate to you 🙂
“Just tell me the answer already!”
You know how long it took for matter to develop until it became a plant and until it organized through heat and ice pressure and time until animals walked on Earth. And how many hundreds of thousands of years until we changed from monkeys to humans. And the change from animal to spiritual man is the next jump: Inanimate -> Vegetative -> Animal -> Speaking (spiritual man)
And there are intermediate stages between each of those four. We are in the intermediate stage between animal and speaking.
You can read all of the material 24 hours a day and nevertheless, these things need to live in you. If bestowal were revealed to you now, it would feel like death, it is opposite from us and our egos would feel so repulsed from it, they would run for their lives, so the light works on us methodically.
I cannot stress enough how important it is to work with the materials you are given from week to week.
You want to build a big house and you want to rush through the building the foundation and installing the plumbing, you want to go right to putting the furniture in and moving in.
Build the foundation, you will see how much everything that comes later is built on this.
Your list is good. You know what Einstein said about relativity, a minute sitting on a stove feels like an hour and a minute sitting with a pretty woman feels like a second (something like that). So relativity is clear, right? Well, sort of. If you went into the classroom with Einstein and started to learn about relativity, so that it lives inside of you, you would see how many nuances and flavors and understandings are in there until the whole world that you perceive starts to take on a new form.
Seth@KabUNiklas,
If you didn’t have this feeling, where would you be?
That is hunger, that is desire, that is what draws us, calls us out of the depth of the mire.
Imagine that the Zohar and the wisdom of kabbalah, the treasure for all humanity to receive all the abundance the Creator has prepared for everyone is sitting there on the table, warm, tasty, ready and we are all crawling around like pigs and dogs on the floor taking pleasure in things we already determined are worthless.
But somehow we get a new hunger to stand up and come to the feast. This happened to all of us here. Â
Without this hunger we wouldn’t even know that there is such a thing as the feast set before us.
The more hungry we are, the more we will enjoy the meal.
Keep the fire burning!
Seth@KabUn,
You can open up the Bible and read about them, you can open up The Study of the Ten Sefirot and read them.
But that would be like opening up the manual to a rocket ship. The words are in front of me, but that’s about all.
We are learning here to change our inner perception of the world and then we discover where these are inside of us. There was a dark room and a light shines 1% and I see something I can correct. Then the light shines and I can see 2% and see what I can correct, but there is no reason to even speak like this now, as it is way ahead of us. First we need to orient ourselves. Who are we, where are we, what forces are working on us?
But you will start to study the wisdom of kabbalah and then you will understand everything. “In the Beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” and you will understand this is the force of bestowal (+) and the force of reception (-).
Little bit of patience…
Seth@KabU
