My best experience from the previous course was that it filled me a great desire to continue to learn of our Creator through the study of Kabbalah. With the vast amount of theoretical and foundational knowledge found in the first three courses I will be referring to and reviewing those courses as I proceed. I am hoping to come with an open mind and an open heart in this next course of practical of study to solidify what I have learned in the previous courses and to learn how to love and be a part of a group of friends, how to grow in similarity to our Creator and how to raise a prayer.
The best experience from the previous course was how quickly my worldview changed. I always thought I was afloat in a sea of conflicting forces: light vs. dark, good vs. evil, etc. In this chaotic sea, I saw my fellow humans also floating separately in various stages of chaos, most just drifting on the various currents, while others like myself, swam against the current. This I found to be heresy against the fact that there is none besides Him, and He is in total control. I also learned that my fellow humans and I are not haplessly floating but are all connected and flowing to an eventuality of adhesion to the Creator, and there is reason to what I see as madness.
I expect to take Kabbalah to the next level and learn practical steps in integrating its wisdom into my life.
I think my best experience from the previous course is that I continued to have a great hunger for the creator. Learning about some of the basics was important, but there was no way in 10 weeks that I could digest all of the concepts intellectually but that doesn’t matter. The intellectual part will develop and I can always go back to the content when I need to, and will find the right teacher, books, and environment when I am ready to receive the correct instruction.
I expect to begin the practical work of Kabbalah, to learn how to pray and walk the path to correction.
Following the lessons and reading the texts was a pleasure, causing me to dream one night about the names of the Creator. I learned how everything comes from the Creator, there is only One. However, I used to have a more personal, maybe somewhat childish relationship with G_d. Kabbalah changed my concept of the G_d into a much more distant Creator. I hope I’ll find this more intimate relationship with a personal Creator back again.
