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?

I wish to be able to give myself completely to the Creator. Without thought of myself. The Creator has given me superhuman challenges and I believe this is because He really wants me close. Awake, and learning to bestow above any possible reason.

There is no “my way”, there is only “His way”. I choose Faith above Reason and to see the night as the moment before the New Day shines on all of us, as One connected soul.

And I wish I find friends I can practice my words and thoughts with. L’chaim.

I participated in the retreat and was able to experience the beauty and power of working in a ten – I felt such a profound connection of love with the friends, not only the ones in my ten, but everyone in the retreat. In the days that followed I experienced an emptiness that had me in painful tears constantly, such a longing for this connection that words fail me. As I came out of this emptiness I began to have an intense hunger to listen to our Rav and feel the friends in the daily lessons on KabTv. I wake up in prayer for our Rav, our friends, and asking for a deeper desire to advance and bestow to delight our Creator. This semester I desire to have my heart softened towards the friends and move closer to the Creator.

i hope to begin with a group, but also find methods for dealing with those outside the group.

I want the light to influence me in a positive way. To show me the importance of a group or living in similar desires with others. To form me in a way of total bestowal and to no longer work to receive. I expect to continue to learn how to grasp the light and how to let the light to influence me.

I hope really to start experiencing fundamental inner change that moves this one in the right direction.
