Understanding that we need to work on the spiritual roots, the causes, rather than take action on a particular issue, which is only the consequence or manifestation of what is happening on root level. And working on that level of causes by changing our inner quality, by learning to connect, by learning to reform our intention towards altruism.
Our intention is what turns our action from egoism to altruism. Itś a key to development, considering to use our nature, which is receiving pleasure, for the good and in accordance with the law of nature. That means we can not change our nature, which is to receive, but we can change our intention, that is WHY we are receiving – namely receiving with the intention to bestow.
If we feel a desire in ourselves, and instead of fullfilling that desire for ourselves we decide to turn to our friends and fill their desire with the will to bestow, their happiness will fill us with double delight – a fulfilled desire and the joy of bestowing to them. So, we should give with the intention to really want to bestow, to delight or friends through fullfilling their needs or desires.
If our intention becomes that of fullfilling the desires of our friends, than their happiness will fill us with light, and thus we will. find pleasure of a different kind in comparison to that fleeting pleasure we got before through fullfilling our own desires.
Hi, I am Verena from Germany, and I feel like I would really like to know more about that connection between my perception, my desires and how it connects to others desires, and how to build a beneficial connection
Hi, I am Verena from Germany, and I have only recently started learning about Kabbalah. I am very intrigued by it and the question how our desires form our reality, and how by changing the intention of our desires our reality might be influenced, actually also whether or not there is any such thing as reality, which seems unlikely from what I’ve learned so far, and how to deal with the fact that this might be more of an illusion than we think it is.
