i have been noticing in my life that when i deprive myself, i am more appreciative of life and everything. like a lot of stuff that you guys talk about, how you only have a need for the creator when things go bad. is there no value in creating situations like that for yourself?
is there some kind of discrepancy when man is talked about as needing to give to the creator, and then it seems that’s the same thing as thinking about the greater whole, like other people, the greater unity, and taking pleasure in that? are they the exact same thing? because the latter makes sense to me, while the idea of giving to the creator seems like an unnecessary complication since the creator shouldn’t need anything from us.
is it possible to sympathize with people, and this way change our perception of those around us and therefore create a better environment that in turn influences us, or will people always be too horrible and it’s impractical, and you need people who are more further along (like who study kabbalah)?
are we supposed to fulfill all our worldly desires (animal, wealth, power, knowledge) first before we begin to look at the spiritual? or what seems to me like the complete opposite idea—is it completely wrong to think that kabbalah helps in getting things that you need or want in life?
why is the creator a girl and a guy at other times?
why does the creator need anything from us? how can we give to someone who doesn’t need anything?
somewhere laitman says that everything is happening in our souls, and in general i’m always getting from you guys that we are trying to transform our egoistic nature to something altruistic. but i have the immediate problem of dealing with people that i perceive as aggressors and that threaten me in a very serious way… how is this all in my soul? how does changing my nature stop them from attacking me?
