I found the reading of Chapter 7 of the Guide to the Hidden of Kabbalah really enlightening. I could better understand the 5 phases, 5 worlds and related concepts more clearly. We were presented with these notions previously, but I find that different texts, video, etc, present these notions in a different perspective that all together help the student understand better.
After some reflection and reviewing of lesson 4 I now think that my initial response to the question “what does it mean to view reality from the perspective of the creator” is actually ‘muddled’ for me at this state of my attainment. I could say “love thy neighbour as yourself”, but I have very little internalising of how to do this!!
I am so comforted by everyones comments. I share in the view that this was, for me, the most challenging, or confusing, part so far. I applied a thought that I used earlier, to keep going with the video, or reading, in hope that it would come together. And, I am happy to say that it did. I feel like I got it all, on the second time through this weeks material.
It’s not always what is said, but the message in between gets through. It’s incredible when something I read 2 weeks ago, that I knew I was not grasping opens up a bit more when I read it now. I’ve been uncertain about my past experiences as they relate to where I am now. But now I have a basic understanding. I’m also grateful for everyone sharing their questions and the answers received.
I found this week to be challenging but all inspiring, to be able to see the work ahead and how it must progress has given me renewed excitement and a position to move forward in, being able to share my work with family has given them the chance to question me with regards to what Kabbalah is and what it can do for them.
I am very thankful to learn about the spirituality of connection, and I am impressed by its inner logic. I feel a bit torn about the linear description of development, as life often doesńt seem to follow linear processes, but I am also getting that there will be enoughs ups and downs in each phase, setbacks includes, in order to grow, because these dynamics may be inherent at any stage. Kabbalah right now feels very natural, and true, but also different to what I knew and learned about spirituality before, and the quality of how it feels or works in me is very different to what I felt so far. Therefore, itś kind of saying goodbye to some warm/ heartfelt connection that I used to gain easily, and changing it to something I have not even attained yet.. that is a big decision. However, I am also getting this focus on connection and atruism is what has always been missing, and therefore I feel very confident to be on the right track, and so far it doesńt matter to me which stage I am in, because all I would like to do, is to give this process a chance to focus my intention on bestowal, the chance to share that development with others.
