What we’re in is a system of iron laws. It seems that “the shop is open and the shopkeeper is away” but in fact, every move is being recorded. So there’s a big question about how it’s possible not to breach those conditions you mention, such as affecting the ten and the Creator’s laws.
Hi George,
In the end, yes; but not right away or even soon. Think of the workshop not as a means of getting along, but a means to adapt oneself to the Upper Force. It works when everyone plays the game of trying to reach this.
Of course, eventually – but again, not soon – all will have to learn that the world simply won’t work if everyone will not behave according to the rules of the workshop. We will simply see that the world and all its systems stop working otherwise.
That’s something else. This passage is about attaining some level and then starting to enjoy it, within reason; accepting my state as coming from me, so I no longer need the Upper Force.
The second reference is to a state where instead of needing to rise above the bad I see in my friends, I now see them as truly corrected, I love them, and so on.
Connect to the friends anyway. In the connection the correct approach is revealed in me, that He’s giving me opportunities.
It’s normal for students to go through something like that. I’m looking for the result, to know when it will come, and this leads to desperation; while spirituality demands that I abandon all my calculations. Spirituality means only wanting to bestow – not to receive a certain result, or even a clear understanding. Do I accept this? The precondition is built in me as a law that shall not be breached. I have to reach equivalence with this law, which in me, looks at least like complete agreement with whatever the Creator sends, gratitude for it, and joy. This is called Hafetz Hesed (delighted in mercy) and it’s the first condition.
