Hi, my name is Will Andrade. Up until about two years ago, what I knew about Kabbalah was the common understanding of it being something mystical, like Tarot, Numerology, Astrology, etc. Then, I watched a YouTube video on the channel ‘Afinal, o que somos nós?’ that features Near-Death Experience (NDE) stories. One of the people who had this experience, Charles Kiefer, mentioned that while he was in another dimension, he met an old friend — already deceased — who told him to return to the material world, learn about Kabbalah, and spread its teachings. That’s when I realized it wasn’t just another teaching at the same level as other mystical beliefs. I decided to seriously look into it.
I came across the YouTube channel ‘Escola de Kabbalah Brasil,’ run by Marcel Fernandes. I watched an introductory module on authentic Kabbalah with Marcel’s explanations, and after finishing the introduction, I wanted to learn more about authentic Kabbalah. I found the YouTube channel ‘Instituto Arvut – Bnei Baruch Brasil,’ which offers 16 lessons by Anthony Kosinec. I went to the website kabbalah.info, and here I am, starting the updated course. I’m seeking to understand who the Creator truly is because I feel disconnected from the world, but deep down, I feel strongly in my heart that there’s a Creator who wants to bring completeness to my being.
I come here by way of a writer on the website Quora. I have no idea what I’m getting myself into. I have no knowledge of Kaballah beyond the word itself. But I followed a path to this point drawn by words in the What’s Being Human Space on Quora by Zsolt Hermann. I’ll be 70 in December and at this stage of my life I am seeking connections – to people, to ideas and to the Universe.
I took these courses in 2008 and 2009. I studied very intensely and watched the daily lesson almost every day for a year. I read most of the books, except the Zohar, which seemed completely opaque to me at the time.
My life changed very dramatically after that, to the point that I didn’t have time to study or follow the lessons at all. But I have always felt just as connected to what I learned. That never diminished. I can’t even recall how I thought of the world before I learned Kabbalah here. I had a sense I had learned everything I would ever need to know, and nothing since then has shaken that.
But recently I have been drawn to read the Zohar, which I have owned all this time, but never thought I would be able to understand it. I picked it up again a few months ago. I have been reading it every day. And everything that seemed opaque to me before has crystallized. It makes perfect sense now.
Y’all must have done a lot of work and I absorbed it somehow. 😉
I would like to re-approach the groups and the lessons with this new point of view, and that is why I am here.

Hi my name is Geo Kozmo – on email it is ariklein.klein at gmail – and I am just finishing a Rabbinical course (Conservative) and Pychoanalytic course for Ph d Students in Frisco State Uni (on zoom) – in my 4th year. I am a pensioner and a coach in my 70s. I am Spanish but I live now in Hungary wth my family. I went for a few years to Kabbalah courses at Laitman.com and Chabad.org – 15 ys ago) and I so find many other sources but I am always interested in different approaches for the same thing – the “inner attainment”. Because I am teaching others and inspiration is always needed from fellow kabbalah students and teachers. My draft course on Kabbalah for my Senior Club clients is a colored Card Deck here – http://www.fonaklaÅ‘.hu/kozmo – click on Memoria. It is about my ancestors who were Kabbalists and Analysts (but they were hidden in our family due to many reasons during the harsher era of the KGB rule.
