The barrier as I see it are the five senses and the personality. To go beyond the barrier, we begin to learn from our own higher Self, through observation and the developing awareness and connection with the Source. Instead of solely using the physical senses, our spiritual senses become activated. As an example, it is through the spiritual eardrum that we hear and are able to discern truth. Part of the awakening process is the growing strength of our intention. A change occurs when the intention to receive is turned around into an intention to give. I have mentioned this before as well as suggesting that some good souls go overboard and primarily give and in the process do not take time for receiving. This is the not the norm. It does happen and that is why I am repeating this possibility. The state of selfless giving happens when we are close to the point of the heart. It is like a slug asking a rose bush how it can give so much. The rose replies by mentioning the joy of the sun and the rain and the simple act of giving beauty for the sheer pleasure of it.
People have always wondered how to reconcile the concept of free will with the existence of a greater power...the Source, our Creator. Many scriptures mention that it is the Creator's singular desire for you and me to be fulfilled and made joyful.
This actually cannot happen in its fullness until we reach a similar state of mind. In other words, our desire to enjoy is equal to the Creator's desire to give enjoyment. It is a circular movement. We have to choose this state of mind because it feels good. We choose it of our own free will. No one or no organization is forcing us. It is not something we must do. The soul evolves and independently feels and acts from this inner understanding.
Most people act compulsively. Either we are guided by pleasure or pain. The attraction to enjoy pleasure and avoid pain is what controls humans, animals and even plant life. To be like the Creator, it is necessary to be completely neutral. To be like the Creator, we are required to go beyond the barriers of the senses, attain detachment (with compassion) and take control over the inner environment as well as the environment we live in.

Look All Around You. What Do You See and Hear?
To those of us who have developed our spiritual senses, the world as it is commonly known by spiritually unaware humans is definitely one of darkness. The people who read material like mine are definitely interested in a greater reality. The idea behind soul evolution is to find a way to illuminate the whole of reality so it is plain to see not only for us but to be able to easily share it with others who are receptive. We can no longer act like we did when we were mesmerized by the ignorance of darkness. Now we desire to do what we can for the mutual benefit of ourselves and of others. Except, for a small nagging feeling that something vital could be missing, most people do not recognize that there is an absence of a very important piece in the puzzle we call life.
According to the Kabbalah and I do agree, humans only perceive that part of anything seen or unseen that resonates to qualities they already have. For a complete perception of anything, we need to first be complete within. This means we have to be aware of all the forms of reality that exist in us, and then our picture of reality will make sense. How many people do you know who really understand the subtle bodies that also make up the package that they call their Self? How many understand the Law of Karma, Rebirth or know the significance of the energy wheels of the chakra system? How many people are knowledgeable regarding the hierarchy in consciousness here on earth and the hierarchy that exists in the subtle worlds of Light? Intellectually some know but that is not true knowing or being. The intention in everything that I write is to help awaken the dormant sense, the intuitive, the light of the spirit, into an active awareness.
Through persistence and study, each one of us gains perception of the world of the Creator - the world of giving. The world of giving is actually another way of expressing or describing the Upper Worlds, the vibratory realms of Light. We perceive the radiant worlds according to our current spiritual state. Once we begin to feel and live altruism, the sense of spiritual sight, hearing, feeling and knowing opens. Kabbalists call it "crossing the barrier." As you travel the enchanted path of discovery, you no longer walk blindly. The teacher and the student walk hand in hand~

To Receive-Discover the Force of Giving
A some of the material I am sharing with you is from the works of Rave Michael Laitman PhD put into my own words and experience. If you are interested in pursuing more than what I am offering in the days ahead, please check out his numerous books on the hidden wisdom of Kabbalah. A basic concept in Kabbalah is to understand that there is only a single force---the force of giving. But in order to receive that force, we must create something to receive what it gives. The giving force is the Creator and it is the creation or created being who receives. We discover the creator through receiving. But to be able to do this, we must understand the law that governs nature. Understanding the law of nature, which is God, will help us predict, change, disclose and reveal why certain things happen to us. I have discovered that through understanding nature, I can expand and know far beyond the boundaries of the five senses. Many of you are having the same beautiful experience.
Reception in Kabbalah is all about perceiving the spiritual world. Although it remains invisible to people who have not expanded their consciousness to a particular level of unfoldment, it is visible once they do. Everyone has a another sense within. Some call it the sixth sense. It really isn't a physical sense but it does open the door to perception to the Cosmos and our purpose in being. When we transcend the boundaries of the five senses and are able to perceive the spiritual worlds of light, what we perceive is shown or experienced through our intention. Many people refuse to study the Kabbalah because they feel it is too complicated. It really is simple once you know it. It explains that the Creator is benevolent and has the desire to give us endless, infinite pleasure. The Creator wants to give to us but the appearance world makes it very difficult to grasp the great significance behind the intention. Yes, we were created with a will to receive pleasure but somewhere along the line from experience and observation, we misconstrue this amazing thought of creation.
We do have the capability, potential and even unconscious desire to connect with the Creator and to receive goodness. In practice, the typical human is selfish. So, there is a gap in the way I see this process between the Giver and the receiver. There is a gap because it is more typical for a human to take, take and take. It becomes obvious that this immense problem of extreme egoism needs to be corrected. Our Creator desires to give to the creation but the creatures usually only want to receive.
Eventually, hundreds, thousands of years later, the will to receive evolves in creatures and they also magically discover the joy of giving. In giving, the creature become like the Creator. The children become like the parent(s). Once we really become immersed in the happiness of giving we become altruistic. We could conclude by saying that deep inside of us we would love to be a creator god, a Santa Clause, a giving being. There are also people who struggle trying to actually learn how to receive. What we are doing in human form is learning how to live on earth as a creator. Altruism is about being one with others, united with them. Gratefully, we are experiencing more of this amazing and expanding consciousness during the present earth cycle. Warning... Those of us who naturally give all the time, sometimes fall into a pattern where we do not allow ourselves to receive our good. Watch out for this possibility. Always honor your own stability and inherent right to receive. This is a must if we wish to remain balanced.

Snatches of Wisdom from the Kabbalah
Since so much that is said in the teachings of the Kabbalah are in harmony in a very practical way with the hundreds of articles, couple books, workshops and lectures that I have shared over the years, I feel it is appropriate to mention some excellent points that will likely support your present understanding of purpose and plan. Kabbalah wasn't always popular and strict rules decided who could study it. During the last decade of the twentieth century it became center stage in the area of public awareness. More people are asking the old question, "What is the meaning of life?" The fact that Kabbalah is a practical discipline will help any one willing to use the suggestions.
The well-being of each part depends on the well-being of all other parts of creation. More of us have come to this conclusion naturally and the desire to stop destroying ourselves, the planet and Her life has become an important issue with us.
Kabbalah has always had a reputation of possessing insight into the highest forces of nature, of the spiritual worlds and of the nature of God. Actually, Kabbalah is not a religion, magic, mysticism, divination, cult, holistic medicine, meditation, philosophy, theosophy, psychology or parapsychology, ESP, telepathy, dream interpretation, tarot cards, yoga, red strings, holy water, blessings, past-life regressions, numerology, reiki, channeling, astrology, astral travels or projection
or communicating with the dead, out of body experiences, voodoo,freemasonary, reflexology, UFO's, creationism, Sufism or any ism. Now that I have mentioned all the areas many of us are already interested in and Kabbalah is not, why bother writing about the subject?
Kabbalah is not a passing fad; it is time-tested. It is a practical method to understanding human nature and the nature of the Creator. The word Kabbalah means reception. It is also a discipline of study, a method that teaches us how to receive. The wisdom teaching helps you to know where you truly are in relation to where you think you are. It has its own methods to help you rise above the five senses and develop the sixth sense. Kabbalah doesn't take you away from anything you presently believe in or enjoy doing. It simply offers a whole new meaning and strength to everything that happens to you so life can be lived to its fullest. It is simple to understand and practical. If you are interested, stay with me this week as we look at reality as an embroidery that you are creating~

The Initiation of Service
I did mention the other day that if we experience an overload in the area of giving we may miss out in receiving. The message of course is to try and achieve a happy balance. Real service is freedom from selfishness. This is a learned attribute. In the past, serious students seeking enlightenment would go off to an isolated place and spend hours in solitude and meditation. I followed that practice when I was thirty-nine years old for several years. It is true that deeper meditative states are gained through this process but times have changed. It is far greater to attain such a deep meditative state and surrender it in order to serve in a practical manner among mankind. Recently, experiencing a rather extreme fast, I meditatively traveled all over the world below and cruised the cosmos above. This is all well and good and a greater understanding of the science of Light and the ladder of Evolution is achieved. The complete experience is to share the Immensity and live as a full consciousness in the gross physical body. This is the way I have tried to live for thirty-nine years...experiencing a full memory of an upper world, so to speak, and trying in my own way to share the lessons, truths, opportunities and probabilities with those who are receptive here on earth.
When our oneness with all life is thoroughly understood, we free ourselves from any future gross limitations. We choose where and how we return to earth if that is our desire. This is one way to remove future suffering. Being conscious that we are one cell in an enormous unlimited and intelligent Body that is one indescribable and great limitless whole. We serve by honoring our individual body temple, by choosing to remove lower aspects of ourselves that work against the divine plan. We serve by not being attached to things, places, people and animals. If we detached ourselves from our own worries and pain, we serve our best interests and the imbalance will heal. The more we dwell on personal problems, the worse they become. There are countless ways to serve.
There is a complete soul history on every one of us. The history of our choices, thoughts and actions are impressed upon the etheric waves, our own auric bodies. Many people are concerned regarding judgment and the law of Karma. Actually, judgement is self judgement. We review what we have written upon the pages of life. The greatest Yoga is service. We could include religion and acts done as part of the greatest Yoga. No one can attain Enlightenment unless he or she serves. When we unselfishly serve, our chakras are activated. Inspiration is offered to us. We need to understand that service is the result of applied spiritual logic. Serve the highest part of who you are and your service towards others will flow magically because you are remembering spirit identity and the purpose of life. It is our responsibility to serve ourselves by deliberately making corrections of our mistakes physically, emotionally and mentally. We don't retreat from suffering, we address it by sustaining a state of joy and peace within ourselves. True giving is to give healing or assistance to those we dislike. Visit your inner wilderness that holds no restrictions. Visit the point of the heart every day and bring forth nourishment for your own stability and the stability of others.
Have a great weekend~
