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.
Thank you so very much, Albert! This has cleared everything up for me (and I hope for others also who may have a similar question). Thank you 🙏😊
Hello. Yesterday we were due for a live Q&A, and this was my message to the WhatsApp group, when attempting to learn about Bestowal:
“As I am still learning, I am not sure if I am on the right track with bestowel, but my mam hurt her back, so I offered to come and help her, which means i will most likely miss the live Q&A (screaming inside) hopefully at some point I’ll get on, but I feel this is the right thing to do.
On the upside, it made her happy for me to come to her”
Is this “screaming inside” the desire within me which needs correction, as it seems that this is the will to receive that is still active within my heart? This, though I committed the action, the desire to receive was still present and the action made no real difference within?
Thank you 🙏
Is this “screaming inside” the desire within me which needs correction, as it seems that this is the will to receive that is still active within my heart?* My main question 😊
I have come to the conclusion that I don’t really know what the forces that are working in the world are. Due to the limited perception of my ego, everything has become a question, rather than truly revealed. I understand that everything that I am perceiving comes from within myself. If that is so, then who am I conversing with that is outside of this perception, when in conversation with them? What is this “voice” that I hear speaking to me? What is the person that I am looking at with my limited sense of sight? Can I perceive more of them beyond these sensations? Perhaps absolute altruism is where I find my answers? Instead of being limited to my ego, they sympathise with the entirety of Creation, and begin to see things from a widening perspective?
It’s an endless stream of questions as I seek…I came to the conclusion that I truly know nothing, apart from what my ego thinks it knows.
