VerenaParticipantI have got a question about forming the right intention in our daily life. There were suggestions in some sessions to become aware of one´s intention, to turn it outwardly, towards the friends, but also to become aware of the creator in the corporeal world, to acknowledge him there (i.e. everything comes from above) and turn to him as some inner work. What is the right approach to form this intention to do that in corporeal life, in order to allow it but at the same time not let everyone run over you?
VerenaParticipantHi Gianni, I have got a question about forming the right intention in our daily life. It´s important for me to understand, as I feel it´s the point where I either get connected or disconnected… and  I am only starting to learn what it means. There were suggestions in some sessions to become aware of one´s intention, to turn it outwardly, towards the friends, but also to become aware of the creator in the corporeal world, to acknowledge him there (i.e. everything comes from above) and turn to him as some inner work. What is the right intention to do that in corporeal life?
VerenaParticipantSo itÅ› about trying, not about succeding? Like trying to work towards bestowal , even if we cannot overcome our egoistic nature? And thatÅ› why we practice with friends?

VerenaParticipantHow can we learn to recognize the creator in life, how can we turn to him, knowing we cannot perceive him most of the time? I understand the creating force is everywhere, and the light surrounds everything… but how can  we bridge the gap between our egoistic ways and the creator if all that we have to give, even any act of bestowal, in its final consequence is still egoistic? I mean, if all we are is egoistics… then everything we do is egoistic… every act of giving, every group work, every prayer to change us… still the same thing. How can it work nontheless?  Because apparently it does…
VerenaParticipantThanks so much … thatś helping a lot 🙂 Just one last thing… whatś the difference between a spark and the light then… ? (Q2) And again… thanks a lot :-)))
VerenaParticipantHi, I have got three  questions. I hope itś ok to ask, because it is kind of bothering me to get a proper feeling and learn.
1. I understand that we dwell in a place of darkness, being in this world.  However, I am wondering, as everything that has been created, before it was shattered, was part of the „whole soul“, and started off in the light… does it still have a spark of light in it? All the inanimate,, animate, and speaking matter… from an overall perspective,.. does it still have any light in it when itś bound to this world?
2. I understand, we are surrounded by light, and I understand we are looking for it in the connection with friends,… like glue  that connects the shattered pieces, is that right? Is this light in its quality different to the light within the beings of different degrees (inanimate/vegetative/animate/speaking) ? And can we actually connect to our own spark  or to other sparks of light? (If there is one) Or can we only perceive that „glue“ , the light that reveals in the connection towards others?
3. I have understood that the absence of light, this darkness around us or also within us, is kind of „natural“ for being in this world, and that learning Kabbalah  offers an invitation to grow beyond this. I also understand (and feel) that pain between these alternate states …  light and darkness …(well, more darkness for now…) ,  and I absolutely feel the switches to be extremely unpleasant,… . However so far I discovered two seemingly contradictory ways to deal with it. One is to accept that itś a developmental stage, and try to grow from there, the other one is to  call it „bad“ and „evil“ and try to overcome it. I am not trying to wriggle myself out of it, but I feel that darkness itself is hard enough to cope with, so I am wondering what the idea of „evil inclination“ is trying to teach us, and if judging ourselves here is helpful and to which degree (thinking about that idea that in a way we are like children trying to learn… I wonder if it really helps if we put ourselves down for our will to receive…after all, thatś what we are.)
