      What was interesting to me, is that it seems that the concept of Adam Harishon seems to be similar or the same as the idea of the oversoul. I have heard the Adam Cadman concept but not Harishon. It will be interesting to see how this connects for me moving forward.

      I was born in a town and spent most of my life living digital existence…gaming, working, phone, computer, netflix, internet, financials etc. and since young age i had a strong desire to see what this world has going for it physically as well. Once i made enough money to afford freedom i started travel. I went to South East Asia. It blew my mind to be met with the complexity and variety of human designed environments as cities, and countless distractions and hives of people there. For some reason though, these environments feel hollow, fabricated, artificial and similar to a matrix of the digital world – with something always there to grab your attention but lacking real substance. Overwhelmed by the complexity and impressed at the same time i continued searching.

      I thought perhaps i needed a detox from being hooked into the matrix all time so i bought a motorbike a tent and along with all my belongings embarked on island adventure in the Phillipines. What impressed me is that once i managed to detach from all the distraction of tech toys + pleasures of city life, slow down and bring my attention to the present moment and mysef, a whole new world revealed to me. In the beauty of nature there is an intelligent design and the act of observing of its forces and manifestations blew my mind.  Call it a mystical experience, a revelation..i dont know.. but when i was in nature with silenced my mind, just observed, listened and opened to feel, an unspoken beauty and intelligence came forth.. from the touch of the wind, the droplets of rain hitting a surface, sound of ocean waves, movement of branches and leaves on the trees, the flickering of stars, and presence of animals and even smallest of things like ants, they all seem to speak a story that is one of love, grace and purpose but only when one pays attention to them and listens.

      Not always & and often slow and breaks up like old dial-up connection but the funny thing is that once i made that connection to nature and put my mind #listen mode this intelligence behind nature (the Creator?) communicates and reacts to my passing thoughts.. breeze of a wind, a bird flying, light from the sun coming from behind the cloud & various happenings at moments synchronic to my (valuable) thoughts, maybe it was always there and everyone knows its there and it talks but i didn’t listen and now i do and it feels special.

      I’m excited to learn how to get me out of the way of developing spiritually.

      What blows my mind is the more abstract way of looking at the Creator it really shakes me out of my more traditionalistic/mythological/anthropomorphic sensibilities. I also find the more pragmatic way of viewing Kabbalah as a science to be more effective than as religion/magic/mysticism during this age.

      I am like the worm in the radish (from the quote of the week). The world and the entire experience of life is just that for me: bitter and very dark. I really want to disconnect from life (haven’t left my apartment in weeks) because I don’t see any meaning to all the rushing around.
