Zooming on the “Why”

[Ms Tercy Lonan]

Zooming on the “Why”

The real work begins once the point in the heart opens up. In Kabbalah, the focal point is
the intention. Desires create our thoughts, but intentions give them direction. This, in turn, creates our actions and ultimately our whole reality. Using the study of Kabbalah, you can concentrate on developing
intentions that affect reality in a way that elevates you to experience the Upper World, the Creator.
In the science of Kabbalah, the thought is the intention, because it is its progenitor. In a regular life, thought is the considerations made by the desire to receive. The desire to receive in and of itself isn’t bad—that’s how you and I were created, and when used correctly it is beneficial to us and to the Creator. The
intention in which we use our desire is where we must focus our
attention. In simple words, we must become aware of why we do what we
do, what we want to get out of it, and whom we want to please by
experiencing pleasure—ourselves or the Creator. This intention
will then create a work plan, a thought, and the thoughts will
determine our whole reality. So the only part that needs mending
in reality is our intentions. That’s why Kabbalists say that what
you do doesn’t matter, only what you aim to achieve by it. The
following section will elaborate on that.
