Preparation Question: Starting a new course in Kabbalah is similar to a fetus moving on to a new trimester. The warm and fulfilling womb is still the same, but the desire and needs of the future human are evolving. Before we start the first week let’s set our expectations. How do we want the womb (Light) to influence and evolve us? What do we desire to achieve in this semester?

My neophyte desire is to advance in my study and implementation of Kabbalah. But my realistic expectation is that if I actually “knew” or “understood” what this means that I would have already done it. And that it would be something that could have been accomplished without a workshop, group, or other extrinsic means.

In other words: I know that I don’t know :^)

My intention is to work on my connection to the Creator, to understand why I feel all these emotions that come up for me particularly the negative ones. I at times am confused by what’s going on within me and not sure how I should progress. Thank you!

Deepening understandings and having the correct intentions

[György]

I want the Light to develop my capacity for connection. This semester I aim to deepen my intention and tie together everything I’ve learned.

[David]

My intention for this semester is that the  knowledge acquired through study of the course materials open me and my classmates to the force of the Creator’s infinite bestowal in such way that each of us have at least a moment of an experience of authentic connection with Him.

[Ben]

Since my first weeks studying at KabU I’ve changed my morning prayer.

Now all I ask for is “perspective and correction.”

The perspective of our Creator towards creation and correction so that I am better able to fulfill our Creator’s intentions.

Entering into this new phase in my study of Kabbalah I am starting with a new “realization” (conceptual) and what I hope to do is to begin a new phase of “integration” (attainment).
