I loved the Creator’s paradox: needing to be hidden so we don’t get overawed and follow His ways because they lead to eternal pleasures that way exceeding any material pleasures this world can offer, but yet also needing to reveal a part of Himself so we sense the gap in our intention versus His Nature and become drawn to correct our egoism. Explains the AC we experience in our relationship with Him … temporary amazing closeness and overwhelming pleasure when we sense His Presence, alternating with moments of feeling alone and in the dark at His apparent distance. Nice to know it is all part of the path towards Him and eternal Oneness!
Starting to be able to put past suffering into better perspective. Also, I don’t want to loose the great inner dialogue I’ve always had with my Creator. It’s not disrespectful, it’s just very loving. I’ve found some of the kabalah concepts confusing my personal relationship with my Creator. Help me understand who really helped me through the traumas of my past. In my mind and heart HE has always been a very loving Father figure guiding me. I don’t want to loose that life line. It would be crushing to find out I was just talking to myself because it didn’t feel like that. Then again, (this is so confusing) we started from one Source before we became scattered parts or points of the heart.
Lot of big-concepts in this lesson to alter my perspective. . . . Everything that exists in the creature is within the will to receive, which is the Creator’s imprint within the creature, which is an extension of His Essence and, therefore, not actually a new thing (a concept from the recommended readings). Appears like there are 2 entities, the creature and the Creator, but the creature’s processional route back to equivalence of form with the Creator reveals there was only the Creator the entire time all along – like ein od milvado [not at all saying I understand it, just thinking out loud to try and process it].
The Screen, though, is my favorite practical tool of the method. Learning more about it made for a nice perspective change as well, a great help to be aware of how I am to receive and act not for myself only.
What blew my mind was that the 5 chief Kabbalists were all one soul. I have belief in reincarnation so of course, this now makes perfect sense but had not occurred to me before.
I also see now why Kabbalah is available to all. The world is currently filled with death, pain, hatred and darkness. We as individuals are all a small part of bringing the creators light back to the world.
