Thanks Gianni, I highly appreciate your answers. They have been very helpful. Just one more- how can we come from a state of duty/obligation towards the friends to a state of true connection and not hinder each other from advancing by remaining content with what we have ? It’s so easily happening that we get into “routines”… meeting here, meeting there… but it stays on a level of “doing the job” without coming any closer.
Sorry, but there is one more questions… what is closer to annulment and connection… no one matters or everone matters?
(I am trying to not give further explanations anymore to the initial question… not sure if it works… the questions come from states, but the states have no words… so I don’t know if I can make myself understood this way… but I try… so if it’s not clear I will try again)
Hi Gianni, what is actually true connection? And how can we build enough faith to keep trying, in spite of all the shattering? This is really a question that is bothering me. I understand it’s bouncing in and out of connection, but so far far…I experienced connection to be a feebly momentary state… and most of the work to be either habits/routines without any inner connection OR there was something that felt like connection but then people would bounce out of it and leave it shattered. Maybe my observation is wrong or I got a dark part of the map to discover… but I am starting to be completely clueless… I feel like we are unable to connect. And now I wonder… it says to light up the point in the heart it needs the society… so what needs to be the properties of the society? And what needs to be the intention in the work if people come together? Is there anything that makes true connection possible? And what needs to be the inner attitude towards this in and out of connection? I understand the ego wants to protect us… but it’s pulling us out of connection… so how do we get above that? How can we stop it from preventing us to truly connect. Not with words, not by saying “ I annul”, but by DOING it? How can we tear down the walls of our intellect that is very smart and gives us all the beautiful phrases we learned to repeat in the workshop rounds… empty treasure boxes, not filled with love or the states we name.
There is another question… what is the definition true love in Kabbalah? It seems not to be in our words, it seems to be in the action… but it seems like a long-term goal to find out what it really is, and like we have very limited sensors to get there.
I understand there is this approach to feel the resistance coming in the connection, and go above it… but is this an action of love? What else would be an action of love? And how can I grow towards truly loving others, even an inch closer? How can I make actions of overcoming count, so that it’s not just a mechanical action, but truly and acceleration in my efforts. Because it feels like we spend so much time in the same state , going through the same routines, having the same prayer… and nothing happens… and then I think if it’s a mechanical thing… if it’s just an obligation… the same again and again… does it change anything? Or how do we have to constantly increase our efforts, especially among friends? How do we really jump on that spaceship to accelerate and get into a new orbit? And where in all this is love? What is actually real love? How can we find out? How can we grow towards it and not deviate?
