Tyler,
It sounds like you are making sense of things, at least starting to.
Please clarify your question. I’m not clear what you are asking. Try to formulate the question clearly and one question at a time. No big introductions, just the question.

Amy,
True.
And there is more to learn.
From our perspective, it does seem that if I don’t feed myself, shower, brush my teeth, no hand is coming from the sky to floss for me and cook me dinner.
So there is more to the story, that we are made in such a way that on the one side we come to feel that there is none else besides Him and on the other side, everything that is in our power to do, we must do.
These two opposites will come into focus and there we will attain what we are looking for.
Seth@KabULori,
Here is some writing about it from our teacher the Kabbalist Michael Laitman.

Seth@KabULori,
Imagine you are sitting at home on the couch. You are comfortable, everything feels satisfactory and …you forget about the Creator. Maybe you forget for a few hours, maybe you forget for a week, or a month.
Finally we will feel again that we are distant from Him. And this distance makes us yearn for Him again.
And we wipe off the dust and begin again with new powers.Seth@KabU
Carly,
Love is that we do everything for the sake of the other.
This does not simply mean that you feed everyone else instead of yourself, it is a state of being in the heart, in the feeling.
In fact with your hands and feet it may look the opposite to someone on the outside.
There is a story about a child who had something in his eye and wanted to scratch it with a stick and the father was restraining him and all the passersby thought the father was hurting the child. The father was protecting the child and bringing the child to get help.
So it’s not simple.
The point in the heart is like the seed of love, if the sperm will become the man, the point in the heart is the sperm that will develop into a soul that is vessel full of love.
