There would be no poverty, hunger, strife, war; everyone would deal with each other fairly and with compassion, loving everyone else as they love themselves. This would come about by the recognition of the unity of humanity; not by merely imagining the connection, but by seeing the undeniable reality that all are literally connected. What benefits me, benefits you; what harms you, harms me. Every issue seems to stem from the imaginary walls of difference we put up between ourselves and others. Once those crumble and fade away, the intense evil of the world will fade away with them.
This may be a strange question, but I’m very interested in quantum mechanics and physics in general so I have a fun thought experiment about spacetime. Would it be correct to think that all of our prayers have already been answered? And that we’re simply experiencing the playing out of the soul’s development? Time is something we experience, but surely the Creator is not bound by spacetime as we are so for the Creator, all time and space are simultaneous. For the Creator, there is no “before” and “after” our prayer, because that would mean the Creator experiences time and/or causality. It’s only us down here, in corporeal bodies, that experience an answer at a specific point in time, yes?
Also, is the concept of dimensionality (I think the theoretical physicists are up to 10) something reflected in spirituality? Or are we just seeing alternate dimensions of our corporeal reality? (I’m thinking of the story of Elisha seeing the army of angels that are always there, but perhaps “hidden” in a different dimension, though I know all stories in the Torah are about spiritual things.)
Thanks!
Wow same here! I used to watch all sorts of commentary that would mock the other political side and I just can’t now. I still have my egoism pop up, but at least now there’s a resistance to it, instead of me just going along with whatever it wants.
That’s where I’m at too! Just wanting to want what the Creator does. I know right now my desires are all over the place, but I know also that we’re on the path and being sorted out.
The more I learn about altruism and the way of the Creator, the more I see how egoistic I am. And while at the beginning of this course, I felt very “high” spiritually (felt connected to the Creator, was thinking of others first, peaceful mood 99% of the time, etc), now I seem to be the opposite, giving in to every egoistic desire that pops up and being more moody. Am I doing something wrong? Am I perhaps not studying enough? Or is this part of the ups and downs of learning about spirituality?
It feels worse to know all this information and then go react poorly just because someone was rude to me at work or something. I feel like I should know better by now and I feel quite guilty knowing that the person I reacted poorly to is the Creator’s precious creation just like I am.
