The Three Steps to Proactive Confrontation: 1) Close the Space Within You 2) Close the Space Between You and Others 3) The Other Person Has the Desire to Listen or Be Open
Our flaws are our friends. They indicate where the klippot (trapped energy) are hiding. I think this leads to Teshuvah or returning to our soul. Recognizing our flaws gives us the ability to let go. This a cause for celebration, as described by Eitan! When I truly recognize mistakes I can release with love enabling new opportunities. What a pleasure!
The ego’s job is to keep our consciousness in denial of the klippot by having us falsely believe we are our flaws.
The kabbalists explain that the more we activate the Light within (by acting like the Light), the more clearly we see the “dust” (flaws) in ourselves that we can transform.
“YOU SPOT IT, YOU GOT IT”: When I am triggered, I’m being shown where the Light is trapped and waiting to nourish me. Feel your greatness every time you recognize a flaw and know that the ego opponent wants you to try to cover up your flaw and feel small.
JOURNAL
Write about the judgment you have toward somebody, using the following format: They should/should not ________________.
When you believe that “should” thought, how does it make you feel and react?
What you did you “spot” about yourself in the meditation?
Imagine confronting ourselves and others with the humility and compassion. Can there be a sense of certainty in uncovering the light?
LIGHT WORK
Repeat the meditation.
Confront with love!
Next meeting: Monday, June 7, 6-8:00. We can watch Class 2, lesson 3 either on Zoom or right outside my house if the weather is nice!
