Hallo everyone

My name is Rene Swanepoel and I am from South Africa.

I was born and raised Christian until I came across Rabbi Tovia Singer’s channel on YouTube about 10 years ago. I knew then and there that Christianity was idolworship and totally false.

That’s where our path with Judaism started. Everything went well and we learned so many new things every day. Then my husband was suddenly diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. He suffered tremendously until he passed away 17 months later.  Four days after that, my very healty father, passed away as well. It was because of the shock of my husband’s death. I was totally devastated, and heartbroken! I suffered a great deal after the loss and had to make a lot of changes in my life.

I “accidentally” came across David Ghiyam from Kabbalah Centre on Tik Tok and started listening to his teachings. I was so fascinated by him and his knowledge and although things started to make sense, I knew that I had a lot to learn, and was every eager, but where do I start?

Now, 11 months after my husband’s death, I found total peace. I know that everything the Creator does is for the good and everything He does is with a specific purpose. I still feel there are a lot of missing pieces.  People always say I shouldn’t take life so seriously, but I think a lot about life, what is the meaning, the purpose and the reason for pain and suffering. Why did certain things happen to me, the way it did? The Creator rewards and punishes according to measure for measure, so what is it that I should learn and change to live a full life and to inherit eternal life!

Greetings from Italy.

I am Marco and I have enjoyed studying Kabbalah for some time, being passionate about the Jewish world and culture. I am very happy to begin this path of spiritual formation. It will also be an opportunity to improve my English.

[Danielle B]

Hi! I’m Danielle from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. 🇨🇦

I’ve been a lifelong seeker of depth, mysticism, spiritual connection, and healing. I’ve had profound spiritual experiences and have also spent a fair bit of time feeling disconnected from Spirit and my most authentic self.

I’ve found religion to be more full of dogma, control, literal interpretation and external appearances than actual true connection with God and source code.

I’d heard the term kabbalah before but never looked further into it, nor knew anything about it. I’ve recently taken part in a deep intensive where I had many visions and messages for which I have very little context or frame of reference for.

I am finding tidbits of clarity as I am guided to explore kabbalah and came across this course as part of my seeking.

I have no idea what this all means or where I will end up, but I’m following the path in front of me and trust there’s a reason for its unfolding.

I’m excited to be here and explore with you all.

 

[Yesie Hernandez]

Hi! My name is Yesie. I was born and raised in Costa Rica, but I have been living in the U.S. for half of my life. I grew up Catholic and full of guilt and resentment towards a God that seemed unfair and cold to me. Since I was little, I knew that I was connected to something else, something bigger. At 12 years old, I realized that I could lucid dream and I felt like I had a superpower. I felt that I was able to manifest events or situations to my favor. But I never shared that with anyone because I thought they would look at me crazy.

I got a degree in Psychology and a Master’s in Counseling, thinking that it would help me understand why, how, and what I needed to heal from childhood trauma, I needed to “fix” whatever was wrong with me. I couldn’t understand why I wasn’t able to achieve meaningful relationships and more success. The answers I was looking for were not in psychology books or therapy sessions.

About 5 years ago, I began searching for meaning and purpose. I started to discover a path where I could take responsibility for the reality I created. This was the first time I heard that I had so much control over my reality, and that seemed fascinating. I started with topics on manifestation and the Law of Attraction. I have read dozens of books on self-development, psychology, spirituality, mindset, etc., but every single book just left me with more questions and no answers.

My need for something that would bring peace to my world even took me to travel last year for 10 days to the Amazon in Colombia to explore ayahuasca, as if the answers my soul needed were outside of me. (Yep, silly me, I get it now.) Did I mention the many “heroic” trips of psylocibyn I took in my desperate need to fix whatever was “wrong with me”? All of that has helped me to open up more consciousness, but still, I feel there’s more to understand. Why do I keep feeling stuck? Something inside of me is screaming for liberation.

Then the Kabbalah came to me, but my ego wasn’t ready to open up to that kind of teaching; it seemed too dangerous, so I put it aside. However, I went to get my “Life Activation” in hopes that this ceremony had the solutions to my problems, mostly financial. But nothing. Still, I didn’t understand that the magic I was looking for existed inside of me already.

Last week Kabbalah made it’s way back to me by saying “IT’S TIME”. So, here I am ready to give it my all. I’m ready to heal and to serve. I’m at a time of my life where I have never had so much and so little at the same time. Financially and emotionally, the last year has been the most challenging, to the point that I have even questioned my self-worth as a mother, daughter, and wife and even questioned many times being alive. For months, I wanted an answer that would help me feel more empowered and confident, bring business and customers, and take care of all my financial problems. But, I feel that the more I merge myself into the spiritual realm, the more alone I feel and the more out of place in my reality, I feel. It’s like I’m living in a dream or more like a nightmare from which my soul is desperately trying to wake me up, but somehow I just feel trapped in this loop that keeps repeating, and I don’t see the exit sign. I have started this path looking for a way to abundance and financial prosperity, but I have realized that it’s not money that my soul wants, but peace and a deeper connection with the Creator. I see now that my ego was looking for more ways to receive instead of a way to serve. “The Will to Bestow” was missing in my life.
