Comment on What’s the Real Purpose Behind What You Do? by Nina Amir

Ronald,
How honest…self-satisfaction and self-actualization. This takes me back a bit to my last post. We are pushed to grow and to move forward. We do what we do almost because we must, no? I write what I write because I feel a sense of purpose and a desire to help others–to inspire them to create and to fulfill their purpose and achieve results. Underneath it all, though, I write because I want to. I write because it fulfill me. I write because I know something and I have the need to say what I know. In doing so, I share it.

Maybe that is God or a higher Source pushing us to share…Pushing us to do for more than ourselves, to be less self-absorbed. But even when we share, give, in the end we feel better, we receive. It can become about us.

You wrote:
“Yet, truth be told, most days I feel quite alone. I make the effort to reach out and to connect, but I don’t hear or feel the response.”

OMG!!! That could have been written by me. Indeed, I have written (and said) something very similar to that for many years.

You concluded with:
“What about you? What’s the real purpose behind what you do?”

For most of my adult life, my answer had been that I do for others (in career life, personally, and in volunteerism activities) because I desired to have a positive and lasting effect upon those around me and upon the community in order to make it a better place for future generations. Nowadays, my answer is The purpose of what I do is to provide myself with self-satisfaction in and of itself. Self-actualization might be the appropriate term.

Nina, I feel exactly the same way. I’m not even trying to grow and I’m being stretched so incredibly beyond my greatest beyond…..Circles are popping up and women are growing within them and I’m facilitating and figuring out how to create this business one step ahead of their needs and everyone’s feeling hopeful. Gevalt! It’s a wild, roller-coaster ride and I’m loving it and wondering what’s next. Just smiling, breathing deeply (mostly), staying present, trusting, living faith. These are the only things I know how to do with surety.

Comment on Practical Spirituality: Lighting Sabbath Candles by Nina Amir

I’m not sure I know what you mean, Bro John. Candles can’t be evil or do as you say. You can say prayers when you light them. On Shabbat, we are told that when we light them the Shechinah joins us. Right before Shabbat begins, before we light them, it is an auspicious time to say a prayer for help. After that you can’t ask for help. On any other day, you can. Nina

Thanks for your comment, Greg, and for reading my blog. I visited the page on your blog. I am not a believer in sin or in the devil. I think of sin in the Jewish light: as a missed mark. We try and we don’t achieve our goals–or we don’t even try to achieve our goals of being better people or more spiritual beings. Judaism talks about Satan, but there is no stress on this figure. I don’t believe in fear of evil, just in focus on doing good…on being a “mensch,” a good person, or a “tzaddik,” a righteous person. I do believe in devoting yourself to God, to putting God at the center of your life and to making your purpose to help bring others to God.

Best wishes and blessings,
Nina

I have in the past gotten signs that I ignored for one reason or another. Now I look for signs at troubled times to see if they are around me! My signs come in a variety of ways, but most often they are in the signals I receive from Roland! He was heaven sent to me!
