Preparation Prompt: In Kabbalah, our primary task is to draw the reforming light, which supplies all we require for spiritual progress. Moreover, it’s said that aiding others accelerates our own spiritual ascent. How does this dynamic operate? What does supporting fellow seekers with a spiritual inclination entail?

Connecting involves teaching, just like a nursery school class, we must listen to others and connect with how they learn in order to enhance ourselves and teach them in a way that they can enhance themselves.  Having the same interest inspires conversation and discussion and connection.

Aiding others accelerates our own spiritual ascent. The ultimate goal is to align oneself with The Creator. The Creator spans in the Spiritual Word in which we cannot just say I want to be there as an individual. Belonging to a same like group with Kabbalists disseminating their knowledge and the steps one needs to get/reach the Spiritual World; the 125 steps creates a dynamic in which the group aligned can operate together in the ascent towards The Creator. This is not possible accomplishing this alone because one can read all texts on Kabbalah; however, one will be reading words without the decimation regarding the wisdom what is hidden; such as Bestowal and Egoism. As a group, one can reach this understanding and also be on the right direction to reach the Point in the Heart, which will bring the group together and in the right path as one learns from one’s guides the Kabbalists. The Kabbalists teach and guide one. As students following the path together, one is already supporting each other as fellow seekers. Achieving this level as a group, we will have been joined our Point in the Heart and we will be joined into a spiritual inclination.

There is great virtue in Dissemination of Spiritual (Kabbalistic) wisdom. When this is done with the intention of bringing more souls nearer into adhesion with the creator – we are now closer in equivalence of form with the creator.., and this is the ultimate objective.

Supporting fellow seekers entails Annulling my own desires, and merging into the (higher) desire of each seeker.., and then raising each of their desires towards the creator – for refinement.., for purification – so that their desires can become more and more of match to the essence of the creator (which is bestowal + unification).

When sitting in the circle, I love the words ‘I am here for you’.., and by saying this .., I dissolve myself and progressing into their points in their hearts.., and then place myself in the space between them and the creator – to be an open conduit – for their transformation – in service to the creator…

You don’t grow spiritually on your own, only through connection with others who have a point in the heart. Growth is holding someone else’s desire, even when your own resists, and supporting a shared goal, rising above judgment.

Humbling and inspiring.  A sense of purpose and unity.

Working in a group of ten and helping each other to draw the reforming light and to want every one’s ascension.
