      I’m baffled and in awe at the idea that all spiritual worlds are in high archival order. A true work of a mastermind.

      The fact that prayer is used as transformation, For many of us we’ ve prayed that our Creator/God would change things, change people, change our circumstances, but the main objective of prayer should be to TRANSFORM us.

      Core Purposes of Prayer

      Restoring Divine Unity: The central objective is to effect the union of the Shekhinah (God’s indwelling presence) with the Holy One, restoring perfection to the divine realm.

      Elevating Consciousness: Prayer is a technology for building a higher level of consciousness, allowing energy and intentions to ascend to the spiritual realm.

      Personal Transformation: Instead of changing God, prayer changes the individual by elevating their frequency and bringing them into harmony with the “Lightforce”.

      Connecting Earth and Heaven: It serves as a conduit connecting human actions on Earth to celestial forces.  Instagram +3

      From a kabbalistic point of view, however, prayer, as it is expounded in the Biblical text, has a completely different and even opposite role. Instead of concentrating on the literal meaning of the prayers, the kabbalist dwells in the realm of the Divine forces, and when reciting the words, directs his mind to the Lightforce that governs and motivates every living force.

      The doctrine of kavanah, which is the meditation that accompanies the words of prayer, is primary, whereas the words themselves are considered secondary in importance. The kabbalist considers the words as the body or channel for the more important phase of kavanot, which I liken to the soul of prayer. (taken from article by Rav Berg 10/22/2014)

      Lastly regarding prayer. What are the intention behind our words? Our desire should be to connect with the upper force, to strive to become one with our Creator, not so much beseeching him for things or to change someone else, but to transform us.

      I found the following quite interesting and I had never thought of spirituality that way before. It makes perfect sense. We do not have to sit passively but can actually amplify our vessel.

      The more light I attract, this will reform me and accelerate my spiritual evolution.

      “A Kabbalist student can accelerate their spiritual development by focusing on intention (Kavanah) in their actions rather than just performing them, aiming to share with others to connect with the Creator rather than for personal gain. Consistent daily engagement in meditation, prayer, and study is more impactful than occasional intense efforts.:  YouTube +2

      I learned the difference of Kabbalistic prayers focused on spiritual  aim, changing the person praying vs regular prayer focused on changing creator and  asking only to provide what is lacking in physical world.

      During the course of this week’s lesson I understood the process of correction/Tikkune in a much more detailed way. This will be beneficial for me when I enter the group of 10.
