Liora,
It’s not so simple, but it is a new language. Good idea to go back and review. Also keep going forward. Imagine a new baby in the family. Everyone around her is speaking and she doesn’t understand what is going on. So it will take a little time until these words and concepts settle in. It will happen. Efforts and time and it will happen.

Lisa,
As usual, in your question is half the answer 🙂
The creation will always be a will to receive and the Creator is endlessly bestowing. So those two things are opposite.
But when your child wants to give you a messy painting, your act of receiving is towards her, giving. Imagine if you rejected her?! So of course you receive it in order to give her pleasure.
So the form that our matter takes will be to bestow, but the matter itself does not change.

Nope. Now only make spirituality so important that the other desires aren’t as important. You don’t need to fight your desire to play with dolls. Your desire developed and now as an adult other things are more important. Same scenario.
There are endless forces, even gravity which causes a person to fall and miss buying the winning lottery ticket.
So it doesn’t matter which force, satan or gravity or any other one. The point of the excerpt is that behind it all there is one governing force.
