The way that GE and AHP were discussed in the lecture opened the door on my understanding a bit more. I felt like I understood before, but it really helped. Then going back and reading my notes I see, “The higher degree above desire is intention”. I also watched the related videos and two helped as well.

The thing is, I understand the material, but at this point I’m looking around and I’m looking inside myself for points of recognition. I’m observing my thoughts and actions and trying to understand these things inside myself. I’ve gone through this before, but it took from age 21-42. That was just me being pushed from behind and it was extremely painful. When I came to Kabbalah, I woke up and was made aware of what had taken place. Even now I don’t know exactly where I am or what is next. I do know that my past experience will help me in this process of figuring out what it means to go from the AHP, (desires for myself) to turning them into GE, (my intention to bestow onto the Creator). Also, because of my experience I have to question myself a second time, “Am I seeking correction and this path because I simply want to avoid the suffering from the past?” Sometimes I don’t know, so having others to work with will be amazing.

Awareness- that it is important to practice in a group of others who share the point in the heart. It is not advisable to simply put faith above reason in my work meetings outside of Kabbalah.

I have to look up Dr. Laitman’s explanation of Galgata ve’ Eynaim vs AHOP for further clarification. I fascinated by the idea that our sense of ‘self’, our internal world,  is GE. And what we perceive as external, or others — because it reaches back to us– is a reflection of our AHP. It is “above reason” to understand that “others” are also self — because we are one soul. Dr. Laitman explains that AHP is a receiving vessel that cannot receive Light unless the GE vessel directs Light to it. The GE draws the light and must deliver it to the AHoP–so it can rise. The Creator is the Glue between us in the Kabbalistic Group. I am excited and intrigued — Thank you for the Light that revives my Point in the Heart when it struggles with the Corporeal World that I perceive as reality.

I am happy to know that the group is such an important tool for spiritual growth and that we will be able to evolve through this connection and reach the Creator using the teachings acquired from the books and the teacher.

I feel I am starting to get an idea what faith above reason means. It’s beautiful, but also challenging… I am wondering about how simultaneously working in a spiritual society on the one handside and then also in daily life on the other will work out. I can sense it’s going to be intense and so many disrepancies to either overcome or integrate… I am getting the middle path is pretty much of an effort.

And I am wondering how that spiritual connectivity versus the egoistic separation will increase that sense of loneliness in being just a human individual … because in daily life the lab is limited, as in our human perception we are still limited so much …

I was blown away by Julian saying that our sense of ‘me’, our internal world…that is GE. And what we perceive as external, as having its own volition, others…that is simply our AHP. And our efforts should be directed at bringing the desires of the AHP ever closer, so that we feel them as within us. Then we can ascend to the next GE.
