Hi, there is another question that I am not getting out of my mind. The way I understand it, our emotions, and even thoughts are kind of „operated“, by our desires, from above… and the freedom we have is how, during experiencing all we do, we direct our intention. Is that correct? And then… with all the pain that people inflict upon themselves or others, I understand itś basically the same, is that correct? Now, what is the point of „freedom“ , the momentum of choice there?
And how does that apply to all the self-hatred people show? Take self-harming issues or like people who are treating their bodies in a harmful way or treating themselves with disrespect. I mean, basically thatś happening everywhere. What creates that immense lack of self-love? Why do people hate themselves in terms of spirituality?Thinking of desires, I understand, why people may hate others…but how does a desire hate itself? . Why would a desire try to destroy the body and mind itś using, or be dysfunctional? An what is the lesson to learn? (I am not talking about psychodynamics, I know it´s complex, but as to the spiritual purpose of it, I feel a bit lost to understand).
Hi Gianni, I have got a question about what we actually are. The way I understood it, we are all desires, clothing in bodies for a lifetime, over and over again, for us to learn and develop. So, do we consist of just one desire, that we need to develop throughout all corrections, like one branch that needs to find its way back to the root, or is it more like we are a rope that consists of many strings, each string a desire, and we have to correct all the different desires?
Hi, thank you, thatś intriguiging, though I am not quite there yet 🙂 Is Hagar and Ishmael relating to klipa in general or do they belong t either left or right side?
I am currently reading „disclosing a portion“. Itś so intriguing to get a first insight into the forces behind the names :-))) Anyways, just a small question: Hagar and Ishmael, do they belong to the left line? Thatś how understood it… however, in the book, I find it a bit confusing, so I thought I better ask (I don`t want to get left and right mixed up right at the beginning:-))
This is one passage: („Abraham has the Klipa (shell/peel) of the right, Hagar and Ishmael, and the Klipa of the left, Isaac and Esau, with whom we attain the middle line, Jacob, at the conclusion of the process of correction“)
And this is the other passage („To scrutinize the desire called “Isaac,” we must first remove the desire with which we cannot work and sort it with another female, with Hagar, from whom comes Ishmael, the Klipa (shell/peel) of the right.“)
Hi,I understand that in our practical work we have to learn to scrutinize our desires to see with which we are already able to work, and that those that are „too strong“ we may have to put unto hold and not use (like the pillar of salt), but there are also such that can be or should be expelled. I understand the idea to put things onto halt, and not try and correct a desire that I am too weak to resist (not practically, yet, but just from what I read). But How is it possible to expel a desire? Will it be gone then? I thought, in terms of physics energy cannot leave the system… well, even if it is a big system… So where does the energy of this desire go, when it is expelled? Or is that another form of just waiting, until one is strong enough to deal with it?
