Hi Gianni. A question arose from one of our friends concerning what we thought Lo Lishma vs Lishma means. I have heard many words and contexts for an answer to this from Rav and our teachers, but we struggled as a group to agree on a best common answer. I am hoping you can shed some light for us to use to reach agreement on? Thank you!
I am reminded that I do not know what I do not know. This wisdom has given me the chance to learn about, and to correct myself. Without the knowledge of this, I did not have the right intention. I can now say that I do! May Peace and Harmony prevail in each of us, between each of us, and in the (whole) world!!!
Hello everyone: I too am excited to learn how to read the Zohar, with the intent of learning more about reality – and to see what it waiting there for us.
Aiding others by connection in a 10, is first a means to connect to spirituality as a larger Kli. Individually, our points in the heart cannot easily cross the barrier, but as a 10 we gain strength to pass and enter into the larger reality. Second it provides an environment for us to learn to love each other by taking on each members desires, as opposed to our own egoistic desires, and to pray together for the reforming light to fulfill the desires of our friends.
By learning what love thy neighbor as thyself really means, how to accomplish it, and by continually accomplishing it – all with the intention to give to the Creator the satisfaction of knowing that I am willfully embracing His thought of creation. Thus may I convert the big ego and put it to better use for the whole.
