Cytat:One of the reasons why many people refuse to enter the spiritual path is that they think that they are doing just fine the way they are; they refuse to admit that they are in pain. Does it mean that they are not suffering just because they don’t recognize it? Everybody suffers even if they are content with their outer life, but it takes sensitivity to register and identify this suffering. The capacity of me to verify how it feels is very limited; it is like someone on drugs, too confused to know what is going on. The truth lies deeper. It is only how our soul feels that can determine our well-being. It is her interpretation that is truly objective. Me can be ‘happy’, but the soul is in deep pain. This is something that we encounter every day, seeing it in the eyes and hearts of all people. They are not sensitive enough to register how they really feel because they have no soul. And there are cases when the soul feels fulfilled, but me is not able to recognize it, unable to feel gratitude and appreciation.

Cytat:In order for our soul to be properly actualized, she must arrive at unity with the divine, for she can become her true self only in the context of samadhi in the inner realm. On the other hand, our realization of the ultimate is, by default, conditioned by who we are as the realizing subject. If we are ignorant, we cannot even imagine what is out there beyond our own mind. Only when the true nature of our soul is actualized can our eyes open to see reality as it is; our consciousness becomes the eyes of god looking into himself.

Cytat:For our evolution to truly begin, we need to first awaken the light of I am. I am is our connection to reality. However, awakening of I am alone does not constitute the experience of pure bliss. One might feel blissful having access to I am, but it is just an interpretation from me of something that it cannot embody. Having access to I am alone without being merged with it has more the characteristic of neutrality than bliss; its function is to open the space for me to surrender into.

Cytat:Consciousness becomes serene when the duality between me and I am is dissolved. The bliss of the heart has a different flavor, and so does the bliss of being, each one representing a very specific dimension of bliss. Consciousness is the clarity aspect of bliss, heart is the love aspect, and being is the repose aspect of bliss. In their unison, the three aspects of bliss give rise to one state of bliss, the bliss of the soul.

Cytat:Desire is the active principle constituting our relationship with creation and our evolution. On the lower level, it points to what we lack and to our need to reach what we still lack inside or outside. On the higher level, desire points to a purely positive expansion into the higher level of existence, both inside and outside. When one is homeless, a natural desire may arise to build a house; when the house is already built, one may be content or one may wish to make the house bigger and more beautiful. A positive desire is linked to our creativity and natural instinct to evolve and expand on all levels. Life cannot stand still; it has to move forward, and desire is the energy that makes it happen.

Our desires are directly connected to our imagination, the level of our intelligence, our personal preferences, and, spiritually speaking, to our ability to recognize the purpose of our soul – what our soul desires. The desire of our soul must be honored above all other desires because only what she desires will manifest our highest good. The more we actualize our true self, the more we become fulfilled by our own existence and the less we leak our light through the pursuit of futile desires. This is the meaning of becoming a light onto oneself, which is realization of our independence from the relative world.

Cytat:Q: Is there a physical death in Kabbalah?

A: There is no death. Just imagine that you begin to feel another life besides this one, a life in which you also participate. Previously, the additional life was hidden from you. Now, suddenly you begin to feel that you are living in another place, a different relationship. The latter becomes so important to you, so vivid and clear and strong, that eventually, this life loses its meaning and is pushed aside.

When a person crosses the barrier to the spiritual world, it becomes the center of one’s life. The person begins to reevaluate his or her life, and begins to relate to it on a completely different level. Situations such as physical life and death become akin to the changing of a shirt. That is how my rabbi (Rabbi Baruch Ashlag) always described it.

Q: Is there anything after death?

A: You must be asking what happens after death to a person who is not a Kabbalist, because if he were a Kabbalist, meaning of some spiritual degree, then while in this life he would know how to maintain contact with all levels of creation.

What degree does a person who never studied Kabbalah feel when passing away? One feels the lowest degree, much like people who experience clinical death feel. It is a tiny sensation of freedom from the corporeal body; nothing more. Kabbalists feel that freedom a billion times more vividly than ordinary people feel it after death, even while still alive!

Cytat:Is it normal to discover dark and vicious thoughts in oneself when studying the course?

Q # 913: I've been a student of A Course in Miracles for about 12 years. I know Course students often find that as they ask for the Holy Spirit's help to look at the workings of the ego, things in there lives seem to get worse instead of better. What I am finding quite disturbing in my own process as a student, is the appearance, or perhaps the surfacing, of a great deal of anger. Sometimes in everyday situations, my thoughts become downright vicious and murderous. I would say that I have a pleasant personality, and am overall a likeable, friendly individual. My thought is that perhaps lots of repressed anger is surfacing as I am looking within more and more with the Holy Spirit's help. I know I should ask the Holy Spirit to look at this issue with me too. But I'm almost scared to delve into what else might be lying below the surface of my otherwise soft-spoken, quiet personality. Is this a "normal" sort of development for a long-term Course student?

A: Yes, what you are describing is a very normal experience for Course students. As you know, the Course process is one of asking the Holy Spirit to look with us at the workings of the ego. In so doing, we are bringing to light that which we've always struggled very hard (albeit unconsciously) to keep in darkness. Often, as we become increasingly willing to take the Holy Spirit's hand and bring to awareness that which we'd buried, we see more and more of how hateful and vicious the ego really is.

When the ego senses its game is up (realizing we've found a voice besides its own to listen to), it typically becomes louder and more dramatic. As the Course says, "The ego will attack your motives as soon as they become clearly out of accord with its perception of you. This is when it will shift abruptly from suspiciousness to viciousness, since its uncertainty is increased" (T.9.VII.4:6,7).

As we become more adept at shifting our inner teacher, fear often compels us to make a sharp turn back toward the ego's familiar voice. But the Course reassures us that this tendency has no effect on our ultimate ability to complete the journey we've begun: "As the light comes nearer you will rush to darkness, shrinking from the truth, sometimes retreating to the lesser forms of fear, and sometimes to stark terror. But you will advance, because your goal is the advance from fear to truth" (T.18.III.2:1,2).

Whatever games the ego plays, the important thing is to just continue looking at it while holding the Holy Spirit's hand. Of course, on the level of this world, it's generally preferable (and more helpful to you and those around you) not to act out the ego's insane attack thoughts. But you don't want to pretend they're not there. Doing so doesn't make them go away, it just sends them back into the darkness of the unconscious. And a basic psychological principle is that which is repressed gets projected. So, to truly become less hateful and vicious, we have to admit that we are those things and gradually learn not to take the ego's voice seriously. Again, that means watching the ego without judgment, no matter how intense or embarrassing its internal nastiness becomes.

Remember that the ego -- everyone's ego -- is 100 percent hate. A more socially acceptable personality does not equate to having an ego that is better or more acceptable than another. Jesus tells us "The degree of the emotion you experience does not matter. …a slight twinge of annoyance is nothing but a veil drawn over intense fury" (W.pI.21.2:4,5) . At first, that statement can sound grotesque and deeply disturbing. But ultimately, it is quite reassuring. From Jesus' perspective, we are all the same.

Each of us can choose to listen to the 100 percent hateful voice of the ego, or to the 100 percent loving Voice of the Holy Spirit. Each of us, regardless of the personality traits we display in this lifetime, is both a Hitler and a Jesus. At those times when our thoughts or behavior are more Hitler-like, we have merely become afraid, dropped the Holy Spirit's hand, and once again made the error of listening to the wrong voice. This is a mistake calling for correction not punishment. And happily, our ego's cruel and insane ranting has no effect on reality.
