I just felt that yesterday, to get a ne chance to challenge my ego and be alturistic..hahah we´re living the same lives it seems
*I thught i already asked about this but i think i dint so no need to make 2 responses if youve seen this question already*
There was a qoute about being in equivalance of form and that part of this is to not think of yoursefl, (exept your basic survival and living needs) how does this relate to our human relations, family, friends, spouse, etc emotional attatchments with people, i am a person that fears loss of connection with people, i struggle with fear of being walked away from and seen as not good enough or not a good friend or partner etc…I hate dissapointing people and it feels scary when they seem like theyre gonna leave…but im not supposed to think about myself…at all? should i even try to preserve or maintain my relationships in life, especially when they are about to change or disconnect? I want to know what mindset is right to have in such matters
Two quotes i´d like to understand more baout, when they mention correction in the first qoute, are they talking about tikkun?
“Every time we decide that we do not want to use
this or that desire egoistically, the Reshimo of that state is
considered to have completed its task, and moves on to
make room for the next. This is the only correction we
are required to make”“There is a discernment of “mind” and a discernment of “heart” in the
above-mentioned equivalence of form. The engagement in Torah and Mitzvot
in order to bestow contentment upon one’s Maker is equivalence of form in the
mind. This is because the Creator does not think of Himself—whether He exists
or whether He watches over His creations, and other such doubts. Similarly, one
who wishes to achieve equivalence of form must not think of these things, as
well, when it is clear that the Creator does not think of them, since there is no
greater disparity of form than that. Hence, anyone who thinks of such matters is
certainly separated from Him, and will never achieve equivalence of form”Here i dont understand how wnating to make creator content is as if the creator was thinking of himself wich he dosent becuase hes perfect? and when they say mind what is that meant as compared o equivalance in heart. Thank you!
“Instead of seeing all kinds of things going on in the world that I can have, can’t have, could harm me, could benefit me, are scary, and so on” do you mean that this is what we usually do and what we should do is “looking in a mirror, where all the intentions to receive that I have, appear to me as people, animals, planets, etc” and once we do this we start to see everything as imagenery…then what? or lets say me and my parent have alot of issuse with my perosnal faith and they dont agree, so it causes tension disconnection, we dont communicate in all its forms (call, face2face etc) and its causing anxiety and fear/unease “like its not supposed to be this way so i feel bad” what can i do about this, think “this is imagenary…then what hows that gonna do anything for me…where does equivalance of form come into play here and alturism?
to add on, how can i sense the upperforces at play in all of this and recieve the guidace?
Thank you again!
1 is the masach like a checkout scanner in a store, not allowing barcodes that dont go in the system to get scanned? aka if a have an intention to recive i will not be bestowed upon becuase the Masach prohibits it? you said pleasures can reach the spiritual and come down again..you aslo said we chase them (in my mind it sound like we race after fleeting experinces?) if so are these pleasure bad and if they are how come they go up to the spiritual wich is..good? and when they come down are they differnet or?(whats the whole thing with the pleasures going up and down basically)
2, i understand desires will always be even if im paralyzed, what did that part have to do with learning to add bestowl to the “stew” also when you say its not material tings its desire..do you mean that my will to give the food is not a will to give food but a desire to give period? like the food is a representation of my desire and the intention connected to that desire in that moment (image: you have a pair of xray glasses, before you put them on you see me gving a sandwich to a homeless guy becuase i saw he´s hungry, then you put on the glasses and you see immaterial light where the sandwich is and you see light in my heart…aka the food is just a desire and if there is light in my heart i have the intention to bestow ?
3. do you mean “feel” as in a feeling occurs or as in how much i try to relate or see how the content relates to me directly so im reading and i imagen the text is talking about my life specificlay even if the content dosent remind me of a specific situation in my life? can you explain what you do when you adhere to the kabbalist…im a practicall person
extra: you threw me for a loop here dont even know what to ask hhaha but thank you very much for the help!
