Some of my life’s events that confused me before have more meaning, even if that meaning is not what I would have simply contemplated without this deeper focus.
To learn to perceive the Creator, so that His qualities (bestowment, mercy) can be better understood. In turn, to learn how to have the intention to apply (and apply) His qualities here and now, in this world.
I have been searching for a satisfying definition of “faith” for a very, very long time. I had goosebumps just reading the Section on the types of faith in “Attaining the World Beyond”, e.g., that faith is our perception – “a sense of the Creator”, page 24. That revealed to me that it’s not about the blind leading the blind. Rather, it is about using our ego altruistically – which opens our perception and grows our vessel. That realization helped to solve many concerns and difficulties I was having in my understanding of the spiritual world. At the same time, I see that I have a lot of work, due to “how much earthly, selfish reasoning” (page 26) that I have developed over my lifetime.
How do I get past the ego from my education, experiences, conditioning and preconceived notions – without losing that burning desire to be closer to the Creator that I already possess? Thank you.
