The reading from Kabbalah, Science and the Meaning of Life was a beautiful description of the phases of light and answered why they behave the way they do! I was so pleased that it brought together the phases of light, the restriction and creation of the worlds, Adam and the environment in Atzilut, and the shattering and the creation of our physical world.  I had known these things in a basic way by different readings, but having it all together was lovely. It was like having a teacher explain it to me personally.

I also loved the breakdown of, “separating the sensing unit into two parts.” By using two to feel the sensation while only one of the pair receives, “the sensing of the pleasure can become unending.” It gives me something almost mathematical to think about, but I also feel the sensations of the parts from the description. It is truly food for thought.

I am starting to get the bigger picture here and how we all are connected in this

I really love the sensation I feel at the moment when my perspective shifts from old to new. I feel this emotional “high” while it is occurring in me, resetting my old beliefs to new ones, always sarcastically ending with a mental note on how now the old perspective was so completely illogical and nonsensical.

 

 

the realization that the old perspective was just so when my perspective changes.

Learning about our development, and how we go though fazes of development, it explains why we are at a point where we need to learn to cooperate in order to avoid war.

Basically, I am inspired by all of this. And I truly mean that. I like the caterpillar video, with the imagery cells… and the fact that the creator reveals in the connection with others, and that the quality of this connection is to be one of natural love, harmony, and bestowal. Itś giving me peace of mind, because it just feels right.  The fact, that the vessels have been pulverized, and thus mixed that desire to receive with that to bestowal in each of us to a different degree, also gives me peace of mind, it just so makes sense, and I am thankful to learn all this, and get the chance to learn how to connect hopefully with others, who may have the same desire. It‘s beautiful to me in a deep way, and at the same time feels challenging, knowing we all contain the two different properties of egoism and altruism in us to balance out. This is most likely going to be an intense journey.

So Far, learning Kabbalah’s principles and ideologies has given me new perspectives and viewpoints. I am a lifelong student of Scripture and I teach its concepts to young students. Kabbalah has given me new eyes with which to study and progress. It is both exciting and perplexing. In this lesson, I most enjoyed the illustration that the Creator is revealed in the “glue” between us. This fits well for me. I have begun to thank the Creator for every opportunity to connect with another person in a caring, bestowing way. It gives new meaning to the statement “As you have done unto the least of My people, so you have done unto me.” I am also beginning to experience the Reshimot within me. I have had the experience of feeling and reflecting the deep humiliation and anger inside of some strangers I interacted with. That was shocking, but I learned from it. Thank you for teaching.
