I truly came to appreciate the work that goes into these conferences and the universally profound impact the participants feel from attending. My feelings were deeply aroused as I listened to their experiences and my desire to attend greatly increased. I get the sense that the main difference between these conferences and normal non-spiritual large group events is the spiritual intent, practical components/practice interspersed with the lessons, including everyone volunteering to serve according to their gifts. We truly do get out of life what we invest into it!
I’m very glad I attended the live Q&A today. I heard everything that was said and it all made sense. Most of the time things don’t bother me anymore. But once in a while, like the last couple days, I had some real bad memories come flowing back and I had to deal with them. (…it happens, I’m still human, a corporeal being). It is like – taking 5 steps forward and 3 steps back sometimes, but there’s still progress. Just needed to hear someone say out loud that kabbalah is different. Not a cult. Nothing like that at all. And a few clear examples – that helped. It’s as simple as that. If I put anyone off I’m sorry. And the coldness – telling me that maybe this wasn’t for me (?) It was like someone throwing a pan full of ice cold water in my face. It felt harsh, and cold. Where the heck else would I go? I’ve been searching for many years to find true spirituality.
Obviously if the Creator felt now wasn’t my time, I wouldn’t be here right now. Yes it’s a war, and I believe I’ve successfully fought mine to ‘get out’ and to heal enough (on my own) to reach out again…
I don’t blame anyone for what I went through. It was the Creator’s way of igniting the point in my heart. (“There Is None Else Besides Him.”) So, no regrets. I’m here. I see a far greater purpose than worrying about my past experiences.
I’m taking it all in as a valuable learning experience and I’m thankful for the feedback and suggestions.
We advance spiritually by passing through what are called “Reshimot.” Reshimot are records or reminiscences of states that exist in our spiritual makeup, and which we uncover as we progress on the spiritual path. They can be likened to frames and scenes in a movie. As a movie is a pre-made sequence of frames and scenes, so our lives have also been created that way. Powerful powerful stuff!
