Here is a situation involving a couple that was resolved in a manner involving shame. Was the resolution ultimately an act of bestowal or simply an act of egoistic reception? The wife brought the couple four children, one of who died tragically. She became severely depressed and he dug into his work and self-medicated emotionally (not chemically). One day he reported to his wife he had had a sordid encounter with a service person. She left the country for a pre-planned trip and when she returned she said she was disgusted and wanted a divorce. He agreed, and told the oldest son what he had done. The youngest daughter picked up the mother, never to return to live with the man again. Now she lives with the youngest daughter, helping her care for a son born two years after the divorce was final. The man and the woman are now best of friends, though they never meet in person. Now the daughter is expecting a baby girl. Was the man’s shameful behavior a small price to pay for the happy outcome? Or will his shame continue to limit his growth?
Dear Gianni,
So, has the oft-fictionalized Apocaalypse already happended, as it did in Stanley Kubrick’s “Dr.Strangelove”?
See you in PRDS!
Love,
Wendi
Does my experience as parent, friend and professional lend itself to receiving the upper light and ecome more like the Creator, bestowing? “I contain multitudes” is a line from Walt Whitman and a title of a recent book about the billions and trillions of small creatures that usually quietly inhabit us and usually lend to our living, but sometimes act in a corrective way, called a “disease.” Do these phenomena inform us anything about our progress toward the Light?
I wanted to be an astronaut when I was in second stage Katmut but now after many years as an adult, I feel I am just entering Gadlut, spiritual adulthood. But I have more questions than answers. I like Gianni’s clear and compelling method of instruction and look forward to obtaining answers with him.
I’m Wendi Gardiner, a name I adopted as a trans woman. Since 1968 I have been learning and working the substance of modern chemistry, and since 1981 as the laboratory manager of our family-owned analytical laboratory in the Atlanta, Georgia, area. The answers provided by the broader scientific community about the substance and workings of reality have proven incomplete and/or inconsistent, as the eminent 20th century mathematician Kurt Godel also proved for number theory. So, how can we even trust the math for all practical purposes? Kabbalah appears to be above our given perception, and to provide fresh, systematic ways of addressing these problems. From Gianni I expect to find a better pathway to participate in a world more consistent with the intention of the Creator. Its/His time has come.
Being an environmental analytical chemist, I was particularly impressed by the chart of “positives” and ‘negatives,” the donors and receivers, between the two lines, left and right. And we will all enter our minyans at various stages of preparation, not just from our course work, but more generally from the natural stages of life we have already climbed through. That is, if we already had some sense of this donor-receiver driver in our life’s progress, perhaps some have already climbed the ladder toward maximal bestowal. How will we best form our minyans, perhaps with some form of placement test?
