“I was thinking about how we can keep our friends in mind at all times. One way is for each friend to ask a question in turn. The rest of the group can then take that question and direct it to the Creator, asking how we can bring the friends closer to Him and how we can please Him through it. During the gathering with the friends, we would begin with these questions, helping everyone stay connected and focused together.”
“…So, it’s better we relate to these forces realistically, according to what we know about them, and not to tack on some names from the Upper World…”
Thank you. It is like everything is before us. I remember some time ago, one instructor said we should not overthink it and that we should focus on the text. We shouldn’t think it is something far away. And that really changed the way I approach the Kabbalistic books.
Hi Gianni,
You said in your comment that, if “I long for connection with the ten”….
I wish to ask, does this mean that we as a ten, we need to yearns for this connection? This common prayer?
During gatherings with friends, when they are reading and speaking, I need to be consciously aware that each word they say or read is intentionally directed towards Unity. At the same time, they too are consciously aware that every word they speak is directed towards Unity.
Likewise, when I speak or read, they are also consciously aware that I am directing each word towards the shared space of Unity.
It is like a twofold awareness: I know what they are doing, and they know what I am doing. We all shared that common intention.
Is this what we need to do? Doing this, I don’t longer force myself to feel my friends. It comes naturally when I do that.
How can we intensify that point of contact between the Creator and His creatures until we reach that state that we feel our lack strength and lowliness?
