so why do i feel a shrinking feeling in desire for spirituality, atlurism, getting to know the creator and adhereing to him, my corporeal desires have taken over this week, ive barely finished reading the texts for week 8, now mind you it wasnt evil desires, other things just occupied my mind and heart, how do i balance living my corpreal desires and prusing those that are good for me (i.e buissnes and heatlh etc) and regain that main desire?  I saw the preparation question for this week was about clarifying the goal, how do we correct our goal? much gratitude !!
I think deep down the goal ive been carrying is a form of self protection/preservation in the way of, wanting kabbalah to make me bulletproof from emotinal unease, wanting to become confident and all have all thses charactertraits that is deemed good and strong “attractive” in this world, i do have a desire to be unified woth the creaotr that seems beutifull to have that presenece but themain driving force is the first mentioned currently
My takeaway from this week is to create a spiritual environment and that this will help us achieve freedom.. Didn’t understand more. But no one in my vesinkty practices kabbalah, I go to church so I’m being exposed to simular ideas about being self sacrificing and giving without getting back… But idk if that’s enough
does Correction/correcting the desire in any given momemnt basically mean ” I want to do x…but can i do it for the sake of the creator?” i.e i will help my neighbor for the sake of the creator, i will forgive them for the sake of the creator, i will accept this gift and share it for the sake of the creator”
“Hence, one’s primary exertion should be to acquire a force that feels taste in bestowing, which is through lessening the force that feels taste in self-reception. In that state one slowly acquires the taste in bestowing”
is the way to lessen the taste/desire of self recption by thinking in the manner mentioned above(for the sake of the creaor) or is there a specfic way we do this wich then leads to increased space for the taste/desire of bestowal?
To add on to her question, i also had the thought that i shuld want to recive becuase something will give me pleausr becasue my pleasuer is like an extention of the creators pleasuer…so dose that mean that eating a nice meal will become bestowing on the creator or is that to selfish ?
