Not finished with Week 4 yet, but tonight I wondered about this:
I am sitting outside in the backyard. The air is cold, crisp, calm. I watch the flock of sparrows fly in and jump around in the old willow tree, the resident scrub jay doing his dance. Watching my dogs play I am feeling such gratitude for the gifts of Nature, the gifts that the Creator has bestowed upon me. Quietly I speak to Him and thank Him and I want Him to know how much I have learned, and how grateful I am for his gifts. My intention is to thank Him, to let Him know that I am feeling the gift of His joy, especially in my studies, but also in my world. I am feeling such a special feeling, a connection it seems, and I am wondering, is this what Behina Dalet feels like or am I just grateful to receive?
Thank you.
I wish for my fellow students to be able to see through our earthly differences to the light that is within us all. We are each at different levels here, but our inner desires are the same. We are sparks of the same source.
I wish for us all to have more patience, and forgiveness, and understanding of the trials we must go through that create our differences here, for ourselves and for each other, as humanity struggles to attain the next step.
To rebuild the collective soul will take compassion and love, especially when the earthly differences seem so vast. We must look through that and be able to see that each one does have that point in their heart, even if they do not see it yet themselves. We must be the example that can be followed.
Yesterday I watched the short video of Rav Laitman explaining how you will ‘know’ by your feeling when you have attained a higher level. Yes, that made sense to me. Tonight I received the set of books called Secrets of the Bible Package (www.kabbalahbooks.info/search?q=secrets+of+the+bible+package) and purchased at a discount I could afford. There are 4 books packed in 2 packages. I was excited to open them and the first one I chose contained only 1 book, The Zohar.
I am writing now to share with you that after studying for a while with some new age geared teachers and then being led to join this lesson group here, I am a beginner on the path but very attuned to spirit. When the package was opened and the book revealed, I was overwhelmed before ever touching it. The feeling was as Rav Laitman described, “You will know the feeling when you get there.” All I could say was, “Wow. Oh Wow. Oh Wow” in response to that feeling, with those famous chills running through me, as I carefully opened the second package with the 3 other books and brought out each one and peeked inside them all. In those private moments I knew I had attained that first level where I knew that I had learned and was able to learn. I knew how it felt.
I wanted to share this because I wanted to have someone to share this with, and I wanted to recommend to other beginners here to consider owning the books.
I am beginning to understand how my life is entwined with the rest of humanity. I am being more understanding of people whose ideas do not resonate with my own and how these differences are part of the whole. I am beginning to be more tolerant of other people’s lessons not yet learned and how their egos are their whole lives. I am beginning to feel that I am reaching to a higher point, a place I am destined to be.
This teaches me a great lesson in Our reality. We may not be the same, have the same interests, but in the Upper World we are all the same, without ego. How we see each other with our differences in this world changes when the Will to Bestow becomes paramount. Acceptance of each other changes when our Will changes from receiving to bestowing. This seems to be the lesson for humanity. Is that right?
