Reflect: Share something from the lesson that blew your mind, or even just gave you a new perspective.

First of all, I have been enjoying reading all the other replies. What struck me from the lesson is how distance is measured totally differently in the spiritual worlds. Since there is no time and no space, distance is purely a matter of similarity of forms. And to have the same form with the Creator is to actually just be one with Him!

It is very difficult to understand rationally that what we see on the outside is not real because this is what we have always thought it to be. I think this is why many people do not accept the existence of something more real that we cannot see with our eyes in our current state.

I have at times felt or seen what I perceived as the creator in other people. I see this when I responded to an impulse to give to a person that I do not know. I see in a random homeless person what looked like the shining blue eyes of God himself looking back at me, or received a hug that felt like the embrace of God. In the New Testament, The Messiah says “As you have done unto the least of my people, you have done unto me.” The feelings or perceptions of God’s presence in these random people always elicits phenomenal emotional and spiritual responses in me.

This week, I have understood that these were the beginnings of what it is like to clothe the will to receive with the intention to bestow — glimpses of the unity with the Creator that I have been seeking since early childhood. The point in my heart has been driving me toward the Wisdom of Kabbalah through many contacts with it throughout the course of this life. I have been seeking the unity of souls that the Apostle Paul adhered his teaching toward, but have never been able to feel the desire fulfilled fully in any of the communities I have served in. I am a teacher by passion, and thus have loved attaining and bestowing knowledge much more than my students enjoy receiving it. I am so overjoyed to be finally receiving this wisdom including the idea of  one shattered soul that longs to return to unity with the Creator. I am working to absorb this. Thank you to all of you for the bestowal!

The idea that there is something out there that is hugely important and that I can eventually grasp it all. Little ol me? Now that is truly astonishing!!

The idea that if you don’t have the structures in your mind to perceive something, you won’t and how that related to perceiving the surrounding light blew my mind.

The idea that the colors we see are not real, only the colors that don’t get absorbed.

The tension of the spring being the measure of the weight and not the actual object.

The lesson reminded me of a story I heard about of a tribe that could not see the color blue because they had no word for it.
