its real similar to carrying water and chopping wood, both examples ripe with lessons in physics. the laws of physics, like all things, are reflected in all things. thereby in theory one could learn all things by carrying water and chopping wood. Studying is like that only a little less abstract.
With statements like “the creator places each soul with in an environment that will allow its development”, and “the creator has your whole life mapped out for you” how again am I free to choose my environment?
how is it that ALL of my choices are predetermined, all known by the creator before I am presented with them. Except my choice of environment. because my environment is literally everything. if I choose to live in the Bronx rather then queens is that me, or the creator? what about the color i paint the apartment? If im driving down the road and choose to swerve to miss a squirrel thats the creator right? but if I choose to exit to get coffee thats me? Makes no sense, there is non else besides him thereby ……who am I?
How is that there is 600000 souls that make up the collective, but 8 billion-ish people on earth, not to mention billions of other planets many likely populated…ect, really a better question for last lesson here it is all the same.
freedom is an illusion, free will free choice, all predetermined, it appears we are freed to choose, but little do we know choices are already made. by working with the upper light the results, consequences and out comes of choices we appear to have made
I have been taught that to “ask” for something in prayer is to further distance yourself from it. That we already have everything we want and need and its only our belief that we do not that keeps these things absent from us. So to ask is to further reinforce that belief. With that said is it believed appropriate in Kabbalah to “ask to receive” from god?
