Many things happened this week, and an entirely new perspective was certainly one of them. The meaning of true prayer, previously, was with a religious perspective of worship on my part (in my childhood especially.) The change for me, may be likened to going from childhood, developing into adulthood, all in a space of a week, when it comes to”There is None Else Besides Him” and the meaning of “true prayer.” To come to the meaning of what true prayer is within Kabbalah, hunger for partnership with the Upper Force, the Creator, patiently awaiting help from Him, switching from rejection and doubt, etc., all amazing and life changing.
Reading our first article from ‘Shamati’ has to be one of my most treasured moments. I can’t wait to go further into it and the Light that it contains.My group are the most beautiful array of souls! I couldn’t do any of this without them. This of course, very much inspired by the commited efforts of our admins 🙏 I love them all.
In the related videos Rav Laitman tells us that all of our thoughts and actions are sent to us from the Creator. I have had the impression that our destructive, evil and selfish thoughts and actions were produced by our EGO, our free will to choose the path of light or suffering. This was a hard pill to swallow – I realize that I need to change my perspective.
Hello 🙂
In A Guide to the Hidden Wisdom of Kabbalah, I loved these parts:
p33
“… “THE TEACHER NO LONGER NEEDS TO LEAD THE BLIND PERSON BY THE HAND BUT THE TWO WALK TOGETHER ON AN ENCHANTED PATH OF DISCOVERY” I think is beautiful!p39
“THE CREATOR WANTS ONLY TO GIVE TO YOU AND AS YOU RECEIVE YOU WILL WANT TO BE LIKE THE CREATOR AND GIVE BACK TO HIM” This was/is extremely personal and it would be too long to explain why.🙂
I just finished watching Fundamentals of Kabbalah with Dr. Laitman. A lot of questions were asked from the people in different parts of the world about what they needed to do to reach the Creator. They wanted Dr. Laitman to tell them specific instructions on what to pray for, how to act, the Hiddeness of the Creator,etc. Dr. Laitman tried to explain the there had to be an intention in the point of the heart to begin the journey. Some wanted to insist on how to stop suffering. I realized that many were confused. I thought I understood quite a bit when I began these courses since I had read about Kabbalah before. As I began watching the videos, reading the material, and listening to the lectures, I thought I was understanding. However, with every week that I would learn something different, I would get confused. What blew my mind was watching the video of question and answers with Dr. Laitman. Listening to all the questions the audience was asking and listening to Dr. Laitman’s responses, I understood why I could not “see” the Creator, understand that my suffering, my happiness, everything that has happened in my life is from the Creator. I need to change my perception, which I am doing, and understand that the more I close in on the intention to change through kindness and Torah, I will be able to begin the upward 125 steps. I also understood the true meaning of how to pray, pray for others and the world.
