Hi Gianni, sorry, but there is one more question. I really feel that I am struggling with the impact of how we feel separated as humans. Separated from the light, each other, and even ourselves. Like someone blindfolded us to give us this illusion, spinned us around ten times, pushed us away and said “go,find the light”. Of course, there are these precious moments of connection, like in the ten, in the morning lesson, in a congress… and then the blindfold covers everything again.
I don’t know how to relate to this. Because the impact these blindfolded states have, are getting heavier over time. And from what I understood this is not getting better but worse in the work. I discovered it’s possible to overy, but hard inner work to not remain there. Now, I am willing to battle that. But I don’t understand how I can relate to it. Is it just an illusion… a random one, out of many other options, something I have to overcome and that’s it… or is it the mechanism of creation? That we are separated until we reach correction? And if it is the second, how can we EVER overcome this? Or how can we work with it without falling in despair?
Hi Gianni, adding to my previous question… I also find myself struggling with the wording “evil inclination”… I understand it’s the will to receive, it’s our inner program, like the the engine of our beastly existence. But why do we call it evil? If I feel evil, I feel low, dragged away from the light, and I know it’s part of correction… but evil feels like a judgement made based on my mere existence… on anyone’s existence… so how is this not supposed to lead to despair? How can we understand “evil” without loosing hope? Probably, the only way for me to work with it, if I use the interpretation of evil as “opposite to the creator”… because that’s opposite to bestowal… and that’s many lifetimes worth of work to overcome.
But I might be deceiving myself. So, how , in the work, shall I relate to “evil”?
Hi Gianni, how should we relate to the concept of sin as in “the sin of Adam HaRishon”… like in Shamati 68? I feel this is confusing because it would imply choice. But all I learned is we are talking about natural laws here, not about choices. So, what is a sin then?
Dear Gianni, adding to Greg‘s question (thanks friend) , the answer is not really helping me solve the same question . We are asked as women to listen and follow and support, but we are not supposed to speak, teach, sing… literally to be seen. This is what we have been told last Sunday- warmheartedly, but nontheless, it’s been said.All I feel is separation- mankind made separation. Considering I feel anyways that separation and the inability to connect is what’s causing all this massive pain in creation, and it gets worse when it becomes more tangible, am not aligned with that. I don’t have a gender issue here. I have a separation issue. Yes, we maybe are on the beastly level, which is separating us. But where in this is the effort to overcome this? I am not feeling good either in reducing men to sex-oriented physical goal seekers. I don’t see it, I don’t feel it, and I don’t see how it will help us overcome separation to deliberatly create even more separation.
Sorry, I am not understanding this and I am not settling , not because of the gender issue, but because adding to traditional role modeling, we just add separation. It feels wrong, and not from a physical point of view. Trying to live up to spirituality feels hard enough without introducing such laws of separation.
It is making me really sad and feel even more separated that efforts are made to keep this up rather than to overcome it. I may be naive, I am not a man, and yes, there may always be distracting forces between males snd females, and I can absolutely understand some of the explanations… I am just really missing any effort to work on that. Maybe I am just in the wrong place. Whatever, no matter how much we fret about this , the creator will stay the same loving force, and we will stay separated and suffer until we figure out how to overcome this state of separation. But then how are we supposed to do that, if we create laws that foster separation?
Thank you for this answer:) How can I keep any sort of confidence in getting to bestowal, while all I feel is my ego trying to navigate me to a place it wants for me? Even if I focus on the friends, it seems egoistical, because behind any of my actions, unless I can annul myself for a moment, my ego makes all these calculations. And any minute I am not fully aware of what I am doing, I get distracted and absorbed with corporeal issues. And when after a while I resurface, more or less, I see the opportunities I have missed to connect, to be there for a friend. I feel I wish to be able to really feel „faith“, but is it possible to get there, and then even to remain there at one point? I can love the friends, and want for them, but it feels, even that is a calculation of my ego. So, whatever I do, it gets me back to myself. What is the right approach?
