Can you lie to it, or use some trick?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A:<\/strong>&nbsp;If you\u2019re trying to make your will to receive (your nature of enjoyment, satisfaction, simply living) accept your position, it means that you have come up with some \u201cbait\u201d through which you promise it pleasure. This will allow you to do as you intended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s as though it is happening not within one person but between two people who lie to one another, just as the Torah and other holy books seem to speak of many people, when in fact they refer to various attributes of the same person and the connections between them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The questions that are resolved there are very similar to yours: what to do, can man lie to his own nature, and, in general, which is the best way? Therefore it is recommended to read a lot. Remember, \u201cWhatsoever thy hand attaineth to do by thy strength, that do\u201d (Ecclesiastes 9, 10).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Man must try everything even before the receiving nature discovers that it takes no pleasure in it, and only then will it agree to ask things of the Creator\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: Does it matter what makes you stop being an egoist?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A:<\/strong>&nbsp;At first, the aim is for me,&nbsp;<em>Lo&nbsp;<\/em><em>Lishma<\/em>. Man confuses working for the Creator with working for himself. But it is precisely that situation, which allows him to make an effort. As a result of the effort comes the Light that corrects from Above, and man begins to understand what it means to be \u201coutside myself, to work \u2018not for me\u2019, but \u2018for the Creator\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those questions should be asked, but the answers are feelings that go along with the corrected vessels.&nbsp;<em>The question is a vessel; the answer is a Light<\/em><strong>.<\/strong>&nbsp;In the meantime, the answers are only good for calming yourself down and encouraging you to make an effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, man grows like a baby, which unconsciously imitates adults. Actors learn the same way. In fact, any study is based on repetition; you learn that which you still don\u2019t know, the degree you have not yet reached. That process is called, from&nbsp;<em>Lo&nbsp;<\/em><em>Lishma<\/em>&nbsp;to&nbsp;<em>Lishma<\/em>; from \u201cfor me\u201d to \u201cfor the Creator\u201d &#8211; from the sensation of this world to the sensation of the spiritual world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Q: What do I do if my will to receive doesn\u2019t let me do what I intend to do?
