I used to be a management consultant and have always advocated and proposed to my clients: “organise for serendipity,” Because serendipity is by definition an unforeseen result of emergence provided the persons in an organisation cooperate in a non-egoistic manner.
My name is Victor Wegener. I am studying Kabbalah since 2008 when I visited a congress in Liverpool. I find it a challenge to apply all the learnings and wisdom into my personal life.
Many thanks, Gianni! I would like to strengthen my statement:
The Creator deliberately bestows (if not overwhelms) us continuously with pleasure – both in material (tangible) things as well as in intangible sense. As a result, we get spoiled, saturated and arrogant in our behavior. We may even become addicted (“we cannot do without anymore”), we assume that we are in control of our achievements, and/or we exploit and abuse our planet and the poor people – and our egoism grows. However, for those who have a point in the Heart, are aware of this generosity of the Creator and are conscious that He does so for a specific purpose: to become like him. They show gratitude, are mindful, modest and not self-centred.
I have a question, though: this statement only counts for the rich (minority of humanity); what about the poor people (majority)? Have the rich become so arrogant (and egocentric) that they exploit/abuse the poor??
Is this statement correct? The Creator deliberately programmed us (read: humanity) to enjoy life by giving us more and more pleasures which we perceive (and judge) with our five senses (pure externally driven). Ultimately all these pleasures saturate us (‘we get enough, become too egocentric, arrogant, etc.’) and His programme forces us to develop a sixth sense with which to enjoy spiritual pleasures (internally driven).
Hello, my name is Victor and I am from the Netherlands. I came in contact with Kabbalah when I participated in a congress in Liverpool in 2008 where I met Rav.
