Hi Gianni,
does real deficiency always have to come with pain, and how can we work with this? How can we grow beyond the pain, and turn it into connection? And how can we create deficiency in our friends, and pass it on, in a positive way, as yearning, and a WANT for connection, and revelation of the creator, while it feels like deficiency comes from a place of such lack and pain? How can we pray correctly, to grow with the deficiencies that are given to us?
What I mean is not so much the external challenges, because with them I feel I am being pushed, so it doesn’t feel like I had choice, it’s more like there is only one way… it is this internal lack… like feeling there is only one truth, that everything is connected, and feeling this IS true, and at the same time feeling so far away from ever getting there. Like being in a world where everyone is running around like a little turret, with thick walls, pushing his way through life… and one gets hurt and pushed along… and learns to push back, to stand one’s ground, but at the same point one realizes that this is so essentially wrong, in fact this is so untrue, because we ARE ONE,… which shows in the work of the ten, in congresses, while studying… like the fog is lifting for one moment, but then it’s back to the darkness of corporeality where all one needs are walls. I feel like it’s as one is standing at the shore, unable to swim, the beautiful, refreshing and all encompassing water is coming close and withdraws, again and again, and all one can do is acknowledge it is coming and going… I don’t feel like I am the acting force there… I feel more like I am being acted on, externally and internally, to get to this point, until there is no other path or excuse or distraction left… with all possible mains… and it’s ok, I can accept it, I just really don’t know what to do with it?
Hi Gianni,I have got a question about how to direct my commitment towards going to the retreat correctly. I don’t feel any resistance to go. It’s the opposite- I really WISH to go. I really wish to experience the retreat fully, physically . And that desire is totally confusing me. Because at the same time this wish seems totally egoistic and irresponsible considering kids, work, finances.
Now, what is the right intention when making such a decision? I thought if it’s about being there for my friends, it would be good to do what most of my ten does… which is to go virtually… and so I registered for that. But it feels like being there only half-way…. Plus, one member of out ten plans to attend physically. So, I still don’t feel what’s the right thing here.
Hi Gianni, which relevance should we give to all the corporeality,… with all that challenges going on there, people we meet, bigger topcis of love and loss,… things that might be path of developing „naturally“, even if it is called the path of suffering? I know, here we work on our spiritual path, we try to hasten time,… but what do we do with the rest? It feels impossible to take that part as a robot… we still have to relate, feel,…. And how shall we relate to the fact, that also in corporeality, there is development, just much slower? How shall we relate to that part where we live our „lives as beasts“… ?
Hi Gianni… there is another question I don’t get out of my mind… as we work in our tens, we work towards unity and oneness, trying to grow our connection , trying to grow towards bestowal…and the moments when this is tangible, can be so precious, as much as the moments of disconnection can be so challenging. Now… what happens if in a ten someone steps out? I mean… not moving on like to another ten… just more in a disruptive way. What happens to the ten as a spiritual body? Is it like a lack or a loss? like something missing? Or is it that everything that has been connected before, stays on that kevel-because no state gets lost- and tge rest of the ten takes the next steps in the new formation? And what should be the right attitude in such a situation… with respect to the “body” of the ten, not necessarily the individuals?
Hi Gianni,
We were reading preface of the wisdom of Kabbalah… right in Art 1 and 2 it talks about existence out of absence … what does that mean?
What I didn’t get, is that existence out of absence is when the development of something new starts. I understand that the will to receive is opposite the creator… but at the same time only the process of filling the will to receive with light creates something “new”… that didn’t exist before…? So when is actually something “new” born into existence? I am a bit confused there…
Hi Gianni, I am grateful for this dialogue , … now, I understand that there are similarities and differences in the work of men and women, and there is the male and female part in each of us. Now, how are women supposed to work, what in this wisdom is supposedly their part to fulfill? I am ok to dedicate my life to this… but I am wondering what’s the point of trying to work like the men, if at the same time this is considered to not even work at all? I don’t have a gender issue. And I don’t like if it pops up in the work as such…and sometimes it does… but I don’t have an issue overcoming that. I just wish to give credit to the complementary structures of work of men and women. In order for women to not act like a second rate copy of men, how can they shape their work in accordance with nature to fulfill the complementary aspect of this work? And where is guidance in this to be found?
