I was deeply moved by this idea of collective consciousness — the understanding that all of nature is one interconnected system, and we are each a part of it. Nature shows perfect balance in every cycle, and over billions of years, life evolved from single cells that learned to cooperate, into plants, animals, humans — and eventually into higher levels of awareness.

In people, our biology itself proves our interconnectedness. The vagus nerve links empathy, compassion, and connection to our physical health. When we feel accepted, oxytocin is released — lowering stress and improving healing. When we feel rejected, cortisol floods our system, causing harm over time. We are literally hardwired for connection.

Spiritually, Kabbalah teaches that at the root of creation there was one collective soul — the soul of Adam HaRishon — which shattered into many pieces. Today, those pieces are the billions of individual souls in the world. Our purpose is to repair that unity, to live in balance like nature, moving from ego-driven competition to cooperation and oneness.

The allegory of the rich and poor brothers shows why the shattering happened: we were once in perfect unity but without independence, like a baby in the womb. The separation allows us to grow, mature, and return to unity out of our own free choice — becoming like the Creator, but as independent beings.

Our world’s crises — inequality, conflict, pandemics — are like “labor pains” of a new era. The path forward is to rebuild the collective soul, redefine ourselves as one human family, and live “as one man with one heart,” making mutual concessions for a shared goal. Just like the cells of a single body, our survival and fulfillment depend on cooperation and unity.

I understand why it is important in kabbalah the need  to work in a group where our ego will be challenged and encounter conflicts to forces us to examine ourselves, make changes, and grow closer the creator. In  the lab setting.

What I see outside myself is also me and  that I need to connect with it positively.

The importance of the group and its dynamic with each individual high and low is what I retain the most. However I have a bit of difficulties to understand partsuf and its two parts, GE and AHP their role and where they are located (inside/outside of me, etc,).

The importance of connecting with a group really stood out for me in this week’s lesson. By combining our points in the heart, the whole is greater than the sum of the parts which will help us unlock the light. I’m looking forward to connecting with like minded people to help with not only mine, but everyone else’s spiritual advancement.

if the group is needed to make progress, how will I accomplish this? I live in a city where there are no kabbalists groups
