There is none that does not obey the iron law of evolution resulting in the collision of these two forces with one another 1)A positive force, meaning constructive and 2) a negative force, meaning negative and destructive. They create and complement the entire reality in general and particular through their harsh and general war with one another until they reach their ultimate perfection.
Let’s take planet earth as an example. First it was a ball of fog-like gas. Through the gravity inside it, overtime, it concentrated the atoms inside it into a closer circle. As a result, the liquid gas became a ball of fire. Over eons of terrible wars between the two forces within earth, the chilling force in it was finally triumphant over the force of liquid fire. It cooled a thin crust around the earth and hardened there. However, the planet had not yet grown still from the war between the forces, and after some time the liquid fire erupted in great tumble from the bowels of the earth rising and shattering the cold hard crust to pieces. Thus the eons interchanged and each time the cooling force prevailed, the crust grew thicker. Finally, the positive forces overpowered the negative ones and cane into complete harmony. The liquid came to rest in the bowels of the earth and the cold crust came thick enough around them to enable the creation of organic life on top of it as it is today.
This article speaks to me personally as I have been battling in corporeal life for a direction and have to admit that my ego has been constantly battling back and forth with Kabbalah and if this is a true path. When you hear certain lessons, see various things, your ego can tell you that this is a false science and find it difficult to have ‘Faith above reason’. However, I was listening to Asaf read this Baal HaSulam text on a YouTube podcast and it spoke to me both in terms of a personal, internal battle with truth and in a greater sense on a world level. Connection is no doubt what is needed for all. The feeling and experience of the upper force is the desire through this connection.
If we were all connected by love, then our egos would perceive reality in a way that would not require any of us to have more than others, and be better than others. We would all be part of The One, which will lead to better cooperation in all matters, and therefore, a much quicker ability to see progress for all levels of society, as well as the protection of the Earth and the environment.
In working as a group and helping others, I believe from what we have been told, that we can sense a different perception of reality by drawing on the light. In doing so together, and by being informed by our teacher, where we need to move to with our intentions towards others, we will feel that in our points in the heart. Therefore, advancing along the spiritual path
I have to admit I am becoming impatient with the length of time its taking to get to the point where we are working together in groups. I just read James’s note on the forum and I have to say, I relate to exactly what he wrote. I have been experiencing a fair amount of anxiety and negative thoughts which keeps coming and disappearing. One technique I have tried doing when negative thoughts are arising is to feel that all reality is the Creator and for the Upper Force to somehow enter me and make me more like The Creator. I don’t know if its me playing a trick upon myself but this has seemed to work on several occasions, leaving me feel at peace. Without interaction with others and a teacher, at this point, I must admit I’m a bit lost with it all and just simply want to feel and connect with others to discuss what their experiences have been whilst studying Kabbalah
My expectations are very much the same as it seems most others are…the method of connection to others within the groups and the resulting feeling/revelations of life and indeed, a new perspective of how to perceive it
