Share any/all of the following: What most inspired me in the course? What have I learned about myself in the process? What do I wish for my fellow students in their spiritual development?

[Andrew Lawson]

I fell most inspired by the thought that, what seemed impossible (world peace) is simply a result of correcting the desires of mankind, and that I can start with me, right now! And that in some small way my efforts can influence not only those near me but potentially many more beyond my scope of perception.
I have learned that my heart sings at the connection with the Creator, and when this is in the essence of all that I do, my energy in my life is much more sustained and my experience more fulfilling.
I wish my fellow students to strive to hold the maxim:
“to love others as you love yourself”
in their lives. I have found it hard to find love for some people, but when I realized that the emotions that they brought up in me revealed my own correction, and I gave myself the grace and forgiveness for my own mistakes (love yourself). Then I was more able to afford that love for others. It might just be the more I show grace, kindness and forgiveness to myself, the greater capacity I create for loving others. And perhaps those I find hard to love, need it the most.

What most inspired me in the course? The knowledge that healing the world begins with me, like the song goes: “Let there be peace on Earth, and let it begin with me.”  By working on correcting myself, by striving to return to alignment with God, by true and selfless giving, the world naturally rises with this, I connect with those other parts of myself, and like a positive domino effect, a beautiful ripple effect, the healing and correction begin to spread out.  I’m also fascinated that once this internal correction begins amongst the children of Israel, that the messiah will come to make the external correction within the world.  How amazing and awesome is that!
What have I learned about myself in the process? I’ve been on the right track all along.  The world wants me to feel like a fool, like a naive dumbbell who is constantly being taken advantage of when I love others like myself, when I put my loved ones first, and yet this is exactly what we are called to do.
What do I wish for my fellow students in their spiritual development? To remember that you are here and that HaShem, who loves to give, will reward you for your efforts, that you will be successful, and that everything has already been done and completed–you just need to walk the path here on Earth now.  Be confident and don’t be afraid.  You’re doing the right thing, and you’ve always been right about trusting your instincts.

I have learned that when I don’t study I fall backwards into feeling the negative energy running rampant around me and I contribute to it and I am ashamed of that. I get engulfed and forget to remain conscious of what is required of me. Best wishes to all the students!!

I wish I felt that I could love all people, but I don’t know how to love people who are truly bad and who cause harm to others. I also don’t think that I myself will be able to move forward spiritually until I find an answer to this question that seems satisfactory to me.

I wish for all my fellow students that they find the answers they are seeking and that they continue to develop spiritually.

I have been most inspired by learning the meaning of “loving my neighbor as myself”. I have learned that the meaning of this is not based upon “good” or benevolent acts that we may perform, as so many major religious sects promote, but in the realization that my neighbor is, in essence, myself. If I am to come to this realization, then any acts that I perform will come from a place of correct intention. I wish for my fellow students, that which I wish for myself, as we are truly, all one “I”, as described in our lessons.

I learned that I am at the very beginning of s journey; that at my current state I am completely separated from The Creator and from you all; that I have no perception of reality. I also learned that from this starting point I will receive instruction from my teacher, and the books, that as part of a group, in the right environment we will begin the process of correcting our intentions and learn how to love each other as ourselves until we attain the possibility to actually expanding this truly selfless love to others outside. I want to thank in advance all the “Points in the Heart” with which I’m in this Journey. Without your love it would not be possible. – THANK YOU –
