My name is Qasim Mahdi, I’m 25 years old living in chicago with my small family. I have always been intrested in the ancint wisdom from the ancint Egyptians (the hermetic principles) and the greeks etc. I was introduced to kabala by a friend recently. I did a research on kabala and I found a cource for Tony Kosinec on youtube from 2006, I completed The Whole cource back to back and I’m here today looking forward to attain more wisdom in the cabalistic spiritual path. I also wanna Thank instructor Kosinec for making this great knowledge and wisdom accessible and comprehendible to the avrage person, I’m really grateful to have this opportunity.
My name is Steven, a 77 year-old retired physician and lawyer – over-educated and outwardly successful. Inwardly, however, for as long as I can remember I have longed to know the meaning of life – of all life and the context of my place in the universe. I can only describe my existential angst and ontological longing as a spiritual quest; it has never been far below the surface of my consciousness – a gnawing hunger, thirst, craving for meaning, belonging and peace. Since I am near the end of my life, there is increased urgency to this search. A friend suggested I explore my Jewish roots. I became a bar mitzvah in 1956, having been a secular, reform Jew, but it was merely going through the motions. Then, it seemed unrelated to the quest already underway, as it was merely another accomplishment I was expected to achieve. I have not participated in Jewish life since then.
Greetings!
My name is Kenneth Alexander. I live in the Portland area of the state of Oregon in the United States. I recently had a bit of a spiritual experience and feel that it has lead me to Kabbalah. I was raised in a Christian home as well as graduated from a Christian high school, but in my early and mid twenties I felt a bit of a disconnection from mainstream monotheistic religion. I then started to take a more personally responsible view on my relationship with the divine. Kabbalah speaks to this desire in me, and seems a much more pragmatic, personal, and beautiful approach to interacting with the “God” that has always been an inherent part of my life. I have done some personal research and self-reflection with the basics aspects of Kabbalah but feel that a structured course with peers will really be a benefit. I expect that at the very least, my effort in this course will reflect what I get out of it. I understand that it will take some scholarly legwork on my end, but ultimately I feel that I will be much the better for it.
