I feel that I understand the material intellectually, but I keep losing the intention of altruism in my daily life. I then feel confused about whether or not I am walking the Path of Light, or the Path of Pain. What is a way for me to increase my faith so that I may be pleasing to Him (reaching equivalence of form?) Am I trying to hard by myself rather than allowing the Light?
Thank youI wish for my friends within our group to connect with each other, to the Light of the Creator, so to know truth beyond current perceptions of egoism and complete fulfillment. I hope that we may achieve connecting our inner desires, the Point in the Heart, and rise to the Upper World together.
If someone desires something, and I surprise them with it as a gift, am I providing Light to another through their temporary fulfillment of acquiring their desire? Don’t also receive Light, as I feel pleasure in giving another what they desire?
I have discovered that everything that we do comes from the will to receive I.e. egoistic desires within the heart, which is also the source of the suffering that we see within humanity at large (and how we perceive it.) This has lead me to understand that a correction must take place within, transforming egoism into altruism.
I have a deeper understanding that we have two options: the path of Pain (non-conscious involvement) and the Path of Light (conscious involvement.)
This week has awakened the desire to develop walking the Path of Light (Torah and Mitzvot), to consciously move towards my goal of reuniting with G-d.
I desire to learn, and to practice how to give in a way that is pleasing to the Creator, for His sake.
