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?

In my opinion, I have missed something.

I just read Jay’s comment and that is exactly how I would express my feelings and desires for this semester….Thank you Jay!

[Jay (Chaim S.)]

Having attended the KabU retreat/ 3 day Leap the embryo/point in the heart began to stir even more, feeling the nourishment of the womb (Light) ; experiencing the love of the friends, the love of the Ten, the workshops, the Arvut, feeling as if it might truly be possible for me to put the friends needs above mine, to connect to the friends and the Creator.

I desire the womb/Light found between us in our connection, in our Torah, to change me so I might become similar to the Creator who only wants to do good. Think good things, say good things, do good things. I have felt the night after the day since the retreat, swinging back and forth between joy and it’s opposite. Listening to the daily lessons and Zohar readings has been helpful beyond words.

I pray we, the friends, will develop this semester, the skills necessary to be part of a permanent ten and the tools needed to face the obstacles our egos will no doubt throw in our way as we join the world Kli and the path of one man, one heart. Shalom

I aspire to achieve a greater sense of inner peace and clarity. I want to cultivate a profound connection with the teachings, which will help me navigate the complexities of life with wisdom and compassion. By the end of this journey, I aim to be more attuned to the spiritual dimensions of existence and better equipped to contribute positively to the world around me.

My one and single desire is to learn more methods to correct my egoistic love daily and transform that love into pure selfless love for the good of the whole.

I want to see a glimpse of God being revealed. I feel more confused than ever. It seems as if everybody else got much more from the previous course, but I connected more with the previous ones. The previous course even felt more theoretical to me. I want a breakthrough, a glimpse. I need this. But i am holding onto the thread – i will not let go of my search for God/meaning. This life seems to lead to nothing, and that will be my experience until I reveal the Creator – only He can let me see what this life is all about. All my searches led me nowhere.
