It’s not about I, it’s about we. I realized that when I address thought I need to grow my egoism and always it should be we. Incredible, how complicated this can be!!

[Mihaela]

I was given a new perspective on how Kabbalah is different from other teachings. It shows us the danger of reaching the Upper Force through the ego, of working alone to achieve greatness.

“If we had perceived the Upper Force with our egoistic desire, we would become a Klipa.[…] The only way to be rid of the ego is to equalize in form with that of the Collective Soul.”

Kabbalah shows us how reality is built from small pieces that fit like a puzzle. It teaches us how to solve the puzzle and how to integrate into it.

It makes perfect sense that connection is the path to the ultimate goal. Since we are the result of shattering and silo-ing, our corrected state is a connected state. This week’s lesson really drove that point home to me.

Oh! Mary had noticed that the “WE” in Wendi had been capitalized on yesterday’s student session. “Not my doing, Hashem’s!” WEll, we just need to correct ourselves, then everyone else will change with us!!

[Wendi]

Wow! The ego in its exponential expansion but constant frustration and exhaustion of desire is what social psychologists call the “hedonic treadmill.” K says don’t get off the treadmill, build it back better!!

How much the ego ruled our life and worst of all we are quite unaware of this fact.
