The two sources that helped me define what life could mean to me are Wallace D. Wattles and The Zohar, the definitive book of Kabbalah.

According to Wallace D. Wattles (of The Science of Getting Rich fame) is that life wants more life, and your job (YOU! Human Being) is to align yourself with that. More life means being able to have all the tools that you are capable of using, being on the cutting edge of thinking, etc. This has been really very inspiring to me.

I have worded this MY WAY: our job is to be God’s self-expression. God doesn’t have a thumb, but we do. And we are causing full self-expression to God when we use what we were blessed with, our bodies, our minds, our emotions.

Kabbalah is similar, in a way, saying that human beings are a part of the vessel the Light created (eons ago) to receive all its blessings, but (unfortunately and unintentionally) the Light’s desire to give got transmitted with the light that was giving fulfillment to the vessel, and at some point the vessel said: I don’t want to eat bread of shame any more, I want to be able to earn the light I receive, and be a giver, not just a receiver.

That is what caused the physical universe to spring into place, so that the vessel, (that broke into chards into the billions of souls) can earn its light in an environment of seeming scarcity, by becoming like god: giving of themselves.

Of course, physicality and scarcity are powerful forces, so it is not easy for the souls to “tame” their physical hosts… and only very few people in every generation elevate themselves much on the scale of 0-1000 (100% scarcity/ego to close to godliness).

So, in my life, this moment to moment to moment transformation of the selfishness and the full expression of what’s god (without being religious) is the purpose of living, i.e. the meaning I give to life.

And by selfishness I don’t necessarily mean material selfishness: generosity of heart is the opposite: I want for everyone what I want for myself. But I won’t give it to them and I won’t do it FOR them. I inspire them… by MY ACTIONS.

Now, this is a full blog-post… where is my blog… darn… when I need it? lol

I know the word sharing gets thrown around in these emails quite a bit. Sometimes we become numb to the word. To get back to basics, sharing means giving something of ourselves.

It can be sharing with someone we’re not used to sharing with. It can be opening up with someone we’re not used to opening up to. It can be calling someone with whom we’re holding a grudge and wishing them well and saying something nice, some words of wisdom. It can be anything. It just has to be an unconditional stretch.

As a certified est-hole and Landmark junkie, I have heard the urging “Share, share share.”

In Landmark they mean “Bring more chumps like you so that Landmark can become a World Class Organization, here to stay.” They mean: do our selling for us. Maybe they don’t, but that is how it lands for people.

In multilevel marketing companies (network marketing, MLM) they say the same thing, but mean, definitely, selling. Continue reading “Sharing. The misused word… just share… i.e. sell?”

About KabbalahChick

Hi!

I am Kabbalah Chick... It is a compliment, because I am not a chick any longer, as far as my years go, but in Kabbalah and I am a chick... young, learning, and as I learn, turning around and write about what I learned.

Some twenty years ago I read a statement that inspired me: (I am writing from memory...) "as I am climbing the ladder of wealth at every rung I step on I turn around and reach down to the guys and give them a helping hand to be able to follow me... " That or something similar... quite inspiring, don't you think so? I thought and continue thinking. Condescending, you say? Far from it. Uplifting, I say... and when you look at the root of the word "condescending" you see what I mean. Descend means to lower oneself, which most of us do, from ego. Uplifting means the opposite.

Some 15 years ago, prompted by a homework in a Landmark Education seminar (Integrity), I invented a purpose for my life. "Living on the edge, generating distinctions of transformation for humankind"

It sounds ambitious, but in fact it was an accurate description of my toppsy-turvy life then. My life has calmed down, and living on the edge has become more difficult to me now. Which is good. I now need to generate going to the edge so that any transformation can occur.

This blog is both an instrument of sharing, and an instrument of pushing me to the edge.

There are few that go to the edge and come back to share, not just the experience, but the distinction.

Distinctions, as opposed to examples (experience) are very instructive. Once something is distinguished, it can become a structure, like a ladder, on which you can go to the same place and have your own experience, have your own transformation.

With that said: distinguishing is my specialty. Transformation is my playground. Causing transformation, individually and globally is my passion.

Of all the tools I have ever used, Kabbalah has been the most useful in accomplishing my purpose.

I am worth paying attention to. I will take you to places where you have never been. So that you can have more light in your life, more satisfaction, more love, more abundance, more life.

Promise.
