Question: If a person feels that they do not agree with the Creator, want to rebel against Him, and curse Him, what should they do in such a case? Should they feel ashamed?

Answer: If a person does not agree with the Creator, they might want to erase that thought because they fear they may suffer because of it, or, conversely, they can use it as a means to actually do something.

It all depends on to whom I attribute what is happening within me. If I attribute my thoughts to the Creator, it means that the Creator sent them to me purposefully so that I would do something with them. Then I will treat these thoughts and feelings as a valuable acquisition.

If, however, I believe that these thoughts come from myself, that their cause is not Him, but me, then I will immediately want to erase or obscure them so that they do not cause me anything bad.

That is, it all depends on what we consider to be the cause of what is happening. Ultimately, this determines our attitude to reality. Either I want only to cover it up and paint it pink, or relate to it in a purposeful and effective way.

As for the feeling of shame, if I simply feel shame because I am opposite to the Creator, then this shame is based on the fact that the Master gave me something. Then I want to either erase the Master from my field of vision, or give it all up, just to avoid feeling shame. If, however, I feel that the Creator sends me the feeling of shame for a specific purpose, then it becomes a springboard for me to leap forward.
