Preparation Question: In what way have I gained a deeper understanding of my life and of the forces working in the world?

[Kim]

As far as forces working in this world, from what I’ve studied and observed, I’ve always seen it as a confluence of effects that result from a multitude of actions, reactions, and consequences played out here in the physical world, which is also affected by the same playing out in the fractal infinity of other worlds all doing the same and casting their own shadows of events upon us here.  Of course, this can also all simply be the machinations of the Infinite Mind of God. As Kabbalah suggests, there is nothing outside of myself except illusion and the internal processing of that which creates my “reality.”  I’ve always struggled with this notion that the people I speak with are nothing more than illusions, mere manifestations of my own internal mind or process, like in a dream.  I’m hoping to understand this concept better through Kabbalah studies. Thanks for reading!

We must work to correct our egoism and our actions through thought and intention in order to understand the benevolence of every event that shapes our path to spirituality and equivalence of form.

I have come to understand that our ego is what prevents us from spiritual development, and that deep within we all want to live in harmony. Material pleasures feed the ego and thus can lead to suffering (fear of material loss, resentments, pride, conflicts, wars…). I hope I have understood it right, and hope to find out how I can put it into practice.

I’m seeing that I’ve been looking within and connecting to others through a program called Celebrate Recovery. And because of the searching of Mussar, I’ve been led to this Teaching.

I’ve gained the understanding, or rather revelation that I’ve been unknowingly, basically practicing Kabbalah for half my life. But without guidance. I think the years to come will be quite fulfilling.

I’m just becoming more aware that there’s a law of nature, it’s pure good, it’s developing us, and any pain and suffering is simply a reflection of how our egoistic nature is the opposite of its altruistic nature. The more we correct ourselves, the closer we get to truth. But, understanding seems like the easy part.
