This are whole new concepts that seemingly I feel familiar with.. or is it familiar to? So far so good. Yearning so much to learn more. By the way on the section about The Great Kabbalist Throughout History.. why do I have a feeling… history was somewhere re-written especially in regards to the New Testament.

I loved the video The Rock the Creator Cannot Lift. I have struggled my whole life to understand free will. I have felt that I don´t have any, but that left me with no sense of autonomy or motivation to aim for anything. The first thing that clicked for me was when Tony said you can feel like you´re imprisoned or like a ´treasured guest´. That blew my mind. I am a treasured guest and God has my life covered. Next part – my free will is in actively turning my attention towards the Creator to rebuild the shattered soul. The big events in my life are not within my control, but my focus towards spirituality is. I can´t change the picture on the TV, but I can change how I see it. So this is balancing out for me now and bringing much greater calm and trust in life after so many traumas.
I can work towards lifting that rock.

No one really knows pleasure unless he also renounces it.

My mind is blown by the fact that Kabbalah has a technology that is reproducible in different groups and creates the same result.

This week’s lesson is particularly interesting as it explores the future of humanity in relation to technology. As per futurist texts, we are on the verge of what’s known as the technological singularity, and 2045 is predicted as the point of entry, maybe sooner. This means that social interactions will undergo unpredictable changes because of the extraordinary power of artificial intelligence. The keyword here is unpredictability. This is because AI will be so powerful that it will fundamentally alter how humans interact with one another.
While some people are afraid of a future where computers control us, the real threat is how humans may choose to weaponize AI against one another. In the context of Kabbalah, we will witness the ego extending infinitely, giving humans the ability to create both beautiful and terrible things. However, this change is inevitable. If we read more and look past the technological singularity, what we see is the “age of abundance.” It is a time when humans may not need to do anything, and this is where Kabbalah comes in. Our purpose in life will be to connect with others truly.
Kabbalah can be likened to John the Baptist, a man in the desert, heralding the future of humanity. It offers guidance for those who wish to understand the role of humanity in a changing world. The future is uncertain, and we must be prepared to face it with open minds and hearts.

What really hit home this week was an instructor response in the forum by Gianni, which I cut and pasted and emailed to myself…
We’re facing a single interconnected system in which everything is recorded. Punishment is felt when I’m not adapted to that system, which is all bestowal – I’m still operating according to what my ego dictates. By doing so I am lining up all kinds of boots in the air that will kick me. But if I start going according to Kabbalists advice then I’m running ahead of those boots. Because they are coming to correct me. If I’m already running towards correction, I don’t need to be kicked. This system is demanding correction from each person, to the extent of their development.

Love that too, Cat, a screenshot of it – as of a lack of a better way to keep it – is going to my photo library, “framed” with a bright glow 🌟, thank you both Gianni and you; might even print it and display it, Gianni told the essence of this deep wisdom in such a funny yet powerful way 😊
