VerenaParticipantAdding to the above.. and it may sound foolish to even ask…but I thought to at least try…if we say we wish to bring contentment to the creator… and we pray for that even… how can we ask gor this correctly? I try to imagine that… being able to bring contentment to the creator… but “I” cannot do any such thing it seems, because I have been designed the opposite way. Now, that doesn’t hook me off.. I just wonder how to ask and really stick to ehat I have just asked… being a human being, being a will to receive and having this ego pushing and wanting to protect me but separating me from being part of the whole… How do I ask correctly? How can I bring contentment to the creator?
VerenaParticipantHi Gianni, how can we come to a true intention to bestow while still being linked to our ego, and to this world ? Like really from the bottom of our hearts, really for the friends…or really to give contentment above… and not in the end just for our own progress/ our own wish to adhere to the creator/ our own correction? How can we avoid using connection/ dissemination/ actions of bestowal to tune “ourselves”?
I am struggling with those “mechanical actions “, because I feel it’s like cheating the system and abusing the options we have, if I cannot restrict my ego beforehand . … which would love such actions…but for its own benefit.
But to really want for the friends … not mechanically, but with true love….how can we do this? Or even overcoming ourselves… going to a meeting or lesson when there is no taste of anything… how can we do this without wanting it for our selves in the end? What is the restriction I need to put before any such action, and what do I have to fuel into the ego engine meanwhile ,so the engine won’t stutter too badly and still allow me to keep going?
I am not sure if any of this makes sense to ask… it’s just that I don’t want to “use” the system… or even worse “abuse” it… but the ego uses basically everything… so I am looking for a way to either quiet the ego or to give it something to chew on…just to keep it busy… so it won’t mess up all efforts. But just for now that seems rather impossible, so I am a bit clueless.
VerenaParticipantHi Gianni,
there is something I don’t understand…it seems like the truth is already there, … the truth that we are all connected, the path leading to bestowal. And in those short moments of enlightenment … it’s beauty beyond words.
But our lives seem to be designed to reveal the complete opposite, opposite…and even though this is just a “play” , and it’s giving us such a distorted reality, corporeality occupies so much time, effort, and mind.
How can we simultaneously live in these two worlds? How can we make spirituality our internal goal, really stay focused on it, and maintain our connection to spirituality (especially in those times when it seems almost impossible or life gives us more and more obstacles) and at the same time life up to what life is giving us to deal with, taking tvis game of life seriously ?How does it work to be in these two opposites at the same time?
VerenaParticipantWhen digging a bit deeper into the options of working in this frame we are taught, it seems like a little bee hive… many options to choose from…many possible obligations to choose from…however, it’s impossible to turn towards everything simultanesusly. So, how do you know where to to turn to? How do you know what needs to be in the center of each effort?
VerenaParticipantHi Gianni, what is the difference between „ten“ and a group of people that study the sources together? In other words… what makes a ten a ten?
VerenaParticipantHi Gianni , a follow up question on prayer: How can I ask anything from the vreator, if it’s for me? Even if I just ask him to teach me, show me, reveal whatsoever I am to learn… it’s still for myself… so how can this ever be answered? Especially if it’s coming from one person. I understood prayers coming from a single person need to pass some sort of judgement…
