I think it means to be kind and loving towards others and try not to approach them with egoistic intentions.

Hi Jill, I am another student.  I have sort of the same skepticism.

I was wondering why we should only apply these principles in a Kabbalistic group and not in other groups we are involved in? More specifically, this lesson talked about how conflicts that arise within a Kabbalistic group are opportunities brought to us by the Creator to grow in some way. Can we not also see the events and interpersonal conflicts in our wider life outside the Kabbalistic group as lessons given to us by the Creator?

I think our work with the light that reforms is about transforming our intention from the will to receive for egoistic reasons into the will to bestow by receiving for altruistic reasons. I think we can strengthen the influence of the reforming light by continued desire to reform and connect with the creator. Connection with others who are also studying kabbalah is one actionable way to strengthen the influence.

I think it means to perceive things more from the perspective of the creator who knows only bestowal. This is a more altruistic way of seeing reality than the egoistic perception.

I want the Light to influence me however it seems fit. I hope to feel more at peace with myself and with the world and get to a place where I can have better connections with others. I hope to achieve some growth in being able to be more altruistic with the intention to give to others.
