Peace and blessings, I pray that everyone is well.
One thing that really shifted my perspective from this lesson is understanding that nothing is actually missing, but that I don’t yet have the ability to perceive what is already there. The idea that the Light is constant, and that what changes is the vessel and the screen, helped me see that the work is not about chasing fulfillment, but about refining how I receive.
The breakdown of the four phases also helped me recognize my own process. I can see how desire develops, how fulfillment comes and goes, and how that creates a deeper awareness of what I actually want. What stood out the most is that the goal is not to eliminate desire, but to change the intention behind it.
It also made me reflect on how I experience reality. What I call “reality” is really just my perception of it, based on my current level of development. So instead of reacting to everything as if it’s absolute, I can begin to see it as something I’m interpreting, which gives me space to pause, choose, and respond more consciously.
I’m finding the mapping/drawings of the system(s) to be very helpful. No matter who is drawing them in the videos, I take a blank piece of paper and draw out my own, copying and labeling them as I see Tony or whoever presenting the system(s). Then, I can easily refer to them while reading the Zohar or other material.
I have read a lot. I have learned a lot from readings and videos. There is a lot of intricate learning. That is, all the phases that comprise the learning of Kabbalah. But what blew my mind in learning how to align with the Creator, was for me, a beautiful summary when I read: “As He is merciful, you are merciful. As He is compassionate, you are compassionate.” This is powerful.
I don’t find any of this “mind blowing” but rather filling in the gaps and adding more detail to what I have already attained through my Eastern practices.
The more I am learning the more I am hungry to learn more.
For example, I can’t wait until I get to a level that I could begin to reread the Torah and make the connections between the science of Kabbalah and the somewhat confusing stories that we have been told since we were children.
One question in relation to the Torah…
When Adam and Eve ate from the Tree of Knowledge it would appear to have a relationship to the four phases of light.
In my “freshman Kabbalist” brain I am associating “eating from the tree of knowledge” with either Kochmah or phases of light 1-3.
And Malchut the 4th phase of light being the “fall” of mankind.
Am I correct that this story of Adam and Eve in Genesis has a relation to the four phases of light?
And if I am correct about this, could you please elaborate on this with more details.
