I was inspired by my point in the heart’s ‘recognition’ of the Wisdom of Kabbalah. I started to feel a peace – i have come home. I have started on the Path aligned to Nature’s design and nothing can take me away. This time and moment in my life had been predestined and predetermined by the Creator.
The thought of ‘there is no one else besides Him’ fills me with a feeling of spaciousness. And although I definitely cant grasp it with my mind- i get a growing feeling that ‘no one, also not me, did anything wrong’. And no one is really doing something to ‘me’.
A lot of things is beyond my mind’s grasp, but I will keep on keeping on. I know that i will grow in my understanding and that will be revealed at the determined time. I can sort of ‘relax’.
The true meaning of prayer…wow, that was such a new thought, contrary to all what I had been taught, but it makes completely sense and I now understand why religious prayers do not get answered.
I wish for me and my fellow students to choose to not try to understand everything intellectually, but that we will see this as an experiment. After all, how many things have we not tried before to understand the meaning of our lives (to no avail)?.
What most inspired me in the course?
1. that there is hope.
What have I learned about myself in the process?
2. that my entire problem is that i thought there wasn’t hope.
What do I wish for my fellow students in their spiritual development?
3. nothing. i’m still too egoistic to care about anyone else but myself.What most inspired me in this course was the choice it offered; to continue on the path of suffering or to follow the path of Kabbalah. I feel inspired to continue studying with my fellow students and move forward together on this journey.
What I learned about myself in the process was how dominant a role my ego plays in my life. I now see that things I never even thought of as being egoistic, actually are and that every desire I have is driven by self gratification. That’s a bitter pill to swallow but I now have the chance to learn to correct that egoism.
What I wish for my fellow students in their spiritual development is to persevere through the spiritual descents and not become complacent during periods of spiritual ascent. I also wish for everyone’s connections with their fellow students continue to grow and strengthen.
I am inspired by the honesty of the instructors, the work itself, and what it brings out in the students sharing with each other. I see the changes in my fellow students as we grow to understand ourselves and the world, and the Thought of the Creator together. And the energy that is shared, beyond time and space, here in a global internet connection is the most inspiring of all.
There is nothing new under the sun and as a senior in a world of younger people I have learned that I have indeed been blessed by the Creator with the gift of finding myself here. I have learned that this lifetime has been a culmination of past lives and I have been given this time here and now to make the corrections, and feel the joy of the revelations. I have learned to truly feel the joy of His Love.
I wish for my fellow students to be brave and tenacious in the pursuit of the Wisdom of Kabbalah. The path may be quicker than the path of suffering, but facing the reshimot on each step upward can be a difficult climb. Facing the truth is always hard, and here we are facing our own truths. Always know that we each carry these same truths and only together can we be the beginning of the change for the world. It’s the hardest role, to be the beginning, as we may not see what we hope for in the world around us. But we are the leading generation and we are doing the most difficult work, to begin the change.
