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

I am still unsure of the meaning of it all…the beginning, the end, the goal of it all, the ultimate purpose?  Is there one?  I refuse to think all is random, there are too many incredible perceptions in my life, yet the hurt and difficulties are prevalent also.  I just don’t know!

That’s why I decided to take this course.  I am constantly looking (seeking) for answers…or even the answer.  Historically, many have sought and many have not found what their hearts and minds desired.

I will NOT give up!

The first thing that was a huge relief for me is knowing that being egoistic is O.K. because it is our nature.

The second great relief was that all there really is to do is to add to our desires the intention of fulfilling my desires in order to give. I can do that!

The third great relief was that the wisdom of Kabbalah offers us a clear and enjoyable way of fulfilling our desire to connect with the Creator. This is very different from all the fasting practices etc. I did sacrifice many things for the fulfillment of the point in the heart in the past two years. Now, Kabbalah tells me that I do not have to sacrifice so much. I can work on honestly fulfilling my desires. At first, this is a hit in the gut, but I am quickly getting into it.

The fourth huge relief is that Kabbalists seem to be able to put every superstition aside and recognise what is necessary and helpful and what is not. It is the no-bullshit-approach.

A big insight for me was the law of “equivalence of form”. I can vividly imagine that two Rabbis sit next to each other with the same intention. For example, “Figuring this thing out”. And by having the exact same intention, they actually merge into one. Or even better, their inherent oneness is revealed to them. That we have to set the same intention as the Creator, so that our inherent oneness with Him is revealed, makes absolute sense to me.

An insight that is starting to ripen in me is that we are still Adam Ha Rishon and the world we experience is just an illusion of separation. I can feel how we “hover” in this great, bright light while having our blinders on. But this is only a faint hunge.

Now, I am excited to hopefully learn more about “Reshimot”. I have worked with the natural unfolding of an inner purification process for a long time now. I wanted to surrender to life, so that this natural process could unfold. I did that by constantly setting and holding on to the intention of “embracing whatever comes into my consciousness”. I think in this process I have actively worked with the Reshimot. Since I have come to know Kabbalists as presenting the most effective paths, I am excited to learn what they have to say about Reshimot and how the intention to bestow affects this whole process.

Thank you.

The ways I’ve gained understanding is my grandmother who raised and taught me everything she knows. Some of the things she taught me I didn’t understand until I got older. She was a wise woman. A lot of what she was trying to teach me,  and this course has brought so much understanding.

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

I come to understand that that there is purpose for everything even if I can’t understand the purpose I understand there is a balance in existence. Even down to my own personal suffering. For if there was no suffering there would be no need to change move or progress. Still at the same time the past hurts but it is full of knowledge and understanding. I understand regardless of my egos plans my creator has bigger plans than I could ever imagine, because it’s already begun to happen. I am still alive because of God and only God and for God I will continue to live. Isaac means one laughs meaning God laughs at our desires because they’re human in nature and could never match the wisdom he has planned for us to gain. I hope in learning Kabbalah that blessings will shed to my family and friends and also humanity as a whole. I feel there is to much suffering in the world and that through the evolutionary process we gradually change this and move towards a peaceful clean world. There is way to much pollution, we are killing our planet and without it we can’t exist. Hopefully Humanity can clean this place up for future generations. Obviously it will take some billion years to make another 🤦.

By suffering , that’s the only way the light gets in.

Through learning that what we experience in life is a small fraction of the bigger picture,  and that if we change our intentions, we can slowly come to understand what it all means or what our purpose is.
