Here’s what has been blowing my mind, from both Lesson 1 & the extra materials videos that accompanied it: It is recognizing how all these Kabbalistic words & symbols have been already emerging in my life over the past 10 years before I finally signed up to this website yesterday, on my birthday (exactly 40 years since I made the conscious decision to cut ties from my faith of origin, which I also only realized last night, like my 40 years in some kind of spiritual sleepwalk in the desert). A couple of specific examples:
1. Ein Sof (infinity) – I bought a necklace with the infinity symbol a few years ago because it felt like the only expression of spirituality I could relate to
2. Repeated references to “ The Light”: I joined a yoga group ( a kind of kundalini) because I feel universalistic in my soul and I was searching for spirituality, and they make constant reference to their version of the divine being “The Light”
3. The hidden interconnectedness: I had come across this concept in many readings from other domains, but it eventually influenced my research interests in sustainability
4. The notion of our earthly focus to desire to enjoy life: A roofer who did our home roof over a decade ago brought tears to my eyes (I’m sure he thought I was nuts), when he came to sign the contract, because his mannerisms reminded me so much of my late father who I really missed. So I asked this man if he was Jewish, and he said yes, how did I know? It was just something subtle but I felt it. And then he said “Our purpose here is to enjoy our lives”. Like, philosophy from a roofer, out of the blue. It was so weird. And only thinking about it now am I realizing that my late paternal grandfather, who I never met, was also a roofer back in Eastern Europe.
A friend once told me coincidence is the Creator’s way of remaining anonymous. But what this first lesson & videos are telling me, is that these fragmented pieces are the Creator’s way of letting me know I was never alone. He/(It) was probably just shaking a hand like my Dad used to do and saying, “Nu? Ready to learn yet?”. Sorry for the long post… just feeling like there’s already so much value to unpack….

it was a mind blowing lecture on reality, my perceptions inside of me becomes the reality outside of me. All that i see around me is a result of what is inside of me. this is mind blowing and still is. i have been thing about this all evening yesterday. thought i was going mad! trying to make sense out of it.

The entire lesson gave me a new perspective on things. I especially loved the reading material.

This part from the lesson blew my mind:
“This wisdom is generally divided into two parallel, identical orders, like two drops in a pond. The only difference between them is that the first order extends from Above downwards, to this world, and the second order traverses from below upwards, precisely by the same routes and make-ups imprinted at the root when they appeared from Above downwards. The first order is called “the order of descent of the worlds, Partzufim, and Sefirot,” in all their occurrences, whether lasting or transient. The second order is called “attainments or degrees of prophecy and Holy Spirit.” A person rewarded with it must follow the same trails and inlets, and gradually attain each detail and each degree, precisely by the same rules that were imprinted in them upon their emanation from Above downwards.”

greatness dwells within this tiny and fragile costume of a body. We are so beautifuly and wonderfully created. We are all that is, was and will be. We are each a perfect piece of the puzzle that constitutes the whole. We are one. We complete each other.
