Preparation Question: What does it mean to connect with others? In what desire are we connected?

[Jonathan]

Connecting with others means to rise above our ego, which is causing the divide, and relating above it. We are connected in the desire that we sense once we have risen above this ego. This is a desire sensed in the other, and can be included in our own desire.

[David Bruce]

Connection can mean a lot of different things.  We can connect socially, we can connect emotionally, we can connect spiritually.   I think ideally we learn to connect in all of these ways with others.

[Renata Klem]

We are connected with the desire to unite with the Creator.

[Elena]

The ultimate goal is to try and become like the creator. The connection with each other helps draw the light and raise a prayer to help us work on the 125 states we need to reach for the full correction.

[Deborah Joplin]

We are connected in the desire to be like the Creator, to achieve harmony with nature. We connect with others who realize this is the desire that connects all of humanity. We annul our egoistic sense of self and surrender our point in the heart to the collective soul, receiving the the other points in the heart (swallowing them) as our own. The others, who seem external, in the corporeal sense, are realized as parts of our internal it’s. We begin to meet the needs of others as our own needs. The Light of Ohr Makif connects us like cells in the same body with a common goal—to be in peace and harmony—to be like the Creator.

[Verena]

Connecting to others means a different level of energy, and thrive. In terms of a Kabbalistic group itś opening up the door to something new, because the energy that arises from the connection itself is making a difference, and can be very uplifting. In a way if you really connect it means moment of overcoming that loneliness we often feel in our human state. It also means developing a learning environment. It may also mean exposition to different emotions and states reflecting to the relationships to these individuals, or relationship patterns that may be older, and getting a chance to learn by reflecting on that. Finally, a group through its composition of people is a little bit like itś own organism… and while there are common patterns, each group might have some quite unique way of interaction and dynamics.
