      I like the phrase “There’s an answer to all your questions” that the instructors here said more than once. That’s a comfort. I was brought up in a religion that didn’t answer my questions. In fact, expected me to believe a ‘divine mystery.’ That never made any sense to me. I was born with a brain that wants answers not fairy tales. It makes sense that ‘answers’ are out there. As precise and on time that all nature around us operates from, I just can’t believe in mysteries anymore. Kabbalah came to me in a dream with this phrase, “Kabbalah is not a religion. It is a way of life.” Well, it can be if one chooses it to be I guess….  This was said so strongly in my dream I woke up right after it and remembered it. (And I rarely remember my dreams). The thing is, I’ve NEVER looked into kabbalah before – not a book, article or even a conversation with anyone about it. But, I have had so many questions. Especially after being severely spiritually abused inside a religious cult.

      I like the history, the lineage of kabbalah. That gives me comfort knowing I am learning something that isn’t some drummed up new fangled something. I like that it’s not a religion because I want to stay as far away from any religion as I can get. I just want answers. So, that’s why I’m here.

      i am surprised to know that kabbala in its self supersedes the knowledge of the five senses also it is consider a science and not a religion as i thought initially and the studies will takes one to the highest spiritual realm,

      I’m finding the Hebrew roots of words very interesting. The Hebrew word for crater is Boreh which is from “Bo” (come) and “Re’eh” (see).  So the word “creator” means “come see”. The creator is literally asking us to draw closer.  The creator reveals before me the goal by the method of Kabbalah. And I develop in this so it will attract me to my development.

      Something that drove me crazy from school this week. that the essence and the only thing created here is the desire for pleasure. And the principle that surprised me a lot is that the pleasure disappears when there is realization. And I was sure that it was related to the matter of learning to accept life and thus also being able to enjoy it.

      What was interesting to me, is that it seems that the concept of Adam Harishon seems to be similar or the same as the idea of the oversoul. I have heard the Adam Cadman concept but not Harishon. It will be interesting to see how this connects for me moving forward.

      I was born in a town and spent most of my life living digital existence…gaming, working, phone, computer, netflix, internet, financials etc. and since young age i had a strong desire to see what this world has going for it physically as well. Once i made enough money to afford freedom i started travel. I went to South East Asia. It blew my mind to be met with the complexity and variety of human designed environments as cities, and countless distractions and hives of people there. For some reason though, these environments feel hollow, fabricated, artificial and similar to a matrix of the digital world – with something always there to grab your attention but lacking real substance. Overwhelmed by the complexity and impressed at the same time i continued searching.

      I thought perhaps i needed a detox from being hooked into the matrix all time so i bought a motorbike a tent and along with all my belongings embarked on island adventure in the Phillipines. What impressed me is that once i managed to detach from all the distraction of tech toys + pleasures of city life, slow down and bring my attention to the present moment and mysef, a whole new world revealed to me. In the beauty of nature there is an intelligent design and the act of observing of its forces and manifestations blew my mind.  Call it a mystical experience, a revelation..i dont know.. but when i was in nature with silenced my mind, just observed, listened and opened to feel, an unspoken beauty and intelligence came forth.. from the touch of the wind, the droplets of rain hitting a surface, sound of ocean waves, movement of branches and leaves on the trees, the flickering of stars, and presence of animals and even smallest of things like ants, they all seem to speak a story that is one of love, grace and purpose but only when one pays attention to them and listens.

      Not always & and often slow and breaks up like old dial-up connection but the funny thing is that once i made that connection to nature and put my mind #listen mode this intelligence behind nature (the Creator?) communicates and reacts to my passing thoughts.. breeze of a wind, a bird flying, light from the sun coming from behind the cloud & various happenings at moments synchronic to my (valuable) thoughts, maybe it was always there and everyone knows its there and it talks but i didn’t listen and now i do and it feels special.
