Gianni, what is the difference between leaving the path and changing one’s ten? I mean… of course… there IS a difference… but when people do change their ten- which part of this is leaving the path, which is breaking arvut, and which just a normal adapting process?
Gianni, what does it mean to truly trust in the creator? What should I trust in?
I understand it’s a force of pure bestowal, always there, constitutiong everything there is… I understand there is the surrounding like working on us, the reforming light working on us… and I have no trouble with that…(just given that we are surrounded by a trillion things we don’t perceive like all the quantum particles)… all this feels so right both from the heart and mind.
But then there comes life… it just happens with all these crazy twists and turns… and all the pain so many people go through… and I really have trouble to see the creator in this. Not because I don’t want to, hold a grudge or not want to justify him… I just really don’t understand this part of the game. If this is a peekabooh game… then what do I have to look out for? The pain feels real. And it eradicates these sensations of connection, or those states in a morning lesson. I cannot see the creator in this pain- so given this context, I struggle to understand what it means to trust the creator. Which perception and perspective does it need?
And there is yet another question…
If each time we grow, the only things we discover, are, that we are not there yet, that we still cannot really connect, love or even bestow…and our vessels get shattered again and  again… and in fact it seems like in a spiral… the circles get bigger and wider, but we still come to the same points again and again… then how do we hold on? Groups get shattered, tens get shattered, working frames or corporeal lives get shattered… how do we justify that and hold on- especially when things  gets shattered simultaneausly… ? What is the counterbalance that allows faith to regrow again and again?
Hi Gianni, what in a prayer makes it reach the creator? I understand there are prayers from the bottom of the heart. And I heard about prayer of many. But what are the forces in such prayers that can reach out to the creating force and evoke a response? And what should be our intention? Especially with prayer from the bottom of the heart…if they come from a place of devestation , where there is no other counsel… how can these prayers be heard?
Hi Gianni, how can we differentiate between psychological effects versus spiritual effects in the work? Take work in the group for example.. while one finds enlightenment , the other may find conflicts … we say the Shechina dwells in the connection between us… how do we not fool ourselves…? And to the opposite, how do we gain spiritual awareness as oposed to blindly following orders? On other words: How can we truly attain anything?
Thanks for that… now, since there are so many obstacles and shatterings basically everywhere… what precisely do we need to hold on to…? What IS the lifeline
in the teaching /RAV/books that keeps a ten functional? What in this truly makes a group a ten, and strangers become friends? And when this is being challenged, how can we protect it… how can we invite the creator to truly dwell in it?
