Investment Turns into Love  

How do I reach a situation where the connection between us will be more important to me than myself?

It is written, "We will do and we will hear."  Why? Because, you can do things without desire. Through shame, through honor, you can come and bestow to the society.

Our ego maintains us and pushes us into a comfortable state with the surrounding.  We have to use this.  All the duties, all the responsibilities in the group, and all the various connections with the friends are all there to appear good in matters of the society. Begin working with it; begin bestowing to the group, and through your influence on them, through your investment in them, the group will turn into something precious for you. 

The more you invest in the society, the more you put yourself into it. And then, after the investment in them becomes great, you can't leave them.  The group becomes a part of you and you become a part of it. You care about the society because it is really yours, and then you begin to love.

Daily Kabbalah Definition

Egypt   

What is the meaning of "Egypt" in spirituality?

"Egypt" is a very advanced spiritual state in which we feel the ego controlling us. It's a state where we want to connect  between us, but we are not able to since we are under the control of Pharaoh instead of the Creator, in slavery.  We don't agree with this situation but nevertheless we can't escape it.  In other words, this is a state where the ego controls us to such an extent that it shows itself in control and is not afraid.
