Tell me if this happens to you: you are trying your best, acting with the best intentions, and yet you still get slapped in the face [metaphorically speaking.]
Am I alone on this one? Didn't think so. The first thing you need to understand is, if this mechanism is not in your life, then you're not on the path. If you don't feel like the Light is picking on you for no reason, and you don't say, "give me more," you stay the same.
The Zohar [foundational text of Kabbalah] calls these slaps "locks" because they seal the gates connecting us to the Creator. When we overcome these locks, they turn to become openings, and the darkness becomes Light, the bitter becomes sweet. Not only do they become openings, they connect us to true wisdom.
Think about this today as life slaps you around. Remember, ask for more and you will eventually get more of what you're really after.
