Kabbalah 2; Class 5; The Bigger the Obstacle, The Greater Potential Light
The more we resist our reactive behavior, the more happiness and pleasure radiates in our lives. It works like this:
* The bigger the problem in your face, the stronger your urge to react.
* The bigger your reaction, the more resistance you have to apply to stop it.
* The more resistance you apply, the more spiritual Light in your life.
Most people tend to choose the path of least resistance in life. They look for the easy, comfortable situations. We must learn to flee our comfort zones and plunge head first into uncomfortable situations. That is where we can apply the most resistance.
The path of MOST resistance causes a little bit of pain and discomfort for a moment, but it is coupled with long-term fulfillment.
Most people tend to choose the path of least resistance in life.
The path of least resistance produces immediate gratification, coupled with a short-circuit and long-term chaos.
All of which leads us to Rule #7:
THE BIGGER THE OBSTACLE, THE GREATER POTENTIAL LIGHT
Is it any wonder, we haven't found total happiness? We've been conditioned to react to problems since time began. We can no longer be victims. No longer can we gripe or lament over the hardships, problems, and turmoil that confronts us. All those nasty difficulties, roadblocks, and complications that disrupt our path, are there to offer us something rather remarkable — the everlasting Light of fulfillment.
