I was watching Kabbalah Explained Simply – “Why the World Is Always at War”, and there you say that if you’re about to do something that’s not good for you, and you know in advance that it’s not good for you but you do it anyway, then it’s a sign that you’re growing.
And one step further is when you feel that you’re going to do something that’s bad for you, but you feel like you have no choice at all.
So my question is:
Is everything I do actually predetermined, and what’s really changing is how I feel about what I’m about to do?
In other words, are my actions actually correct in relation to the purpose of creation? So it’s actually a correct action, but I perceive it as wrong because it’s not for my own personal benefit?
Question about predetermination. Is it so that our corporeal lives are predetermined and the only thing that changes is our attitude to what is happening to us? Or are corporeal things going to change when we study Kabbalah?
