I am a little reluctant to say what I am about to say because I am feeling put off at times by some of the triteness that comes across in the description of connection in this  course module  content with the exception of the writings of Dr Laitman. I am sensitive to the fact the course videos are kept short and perhaps this is why they feel rushed, but the length of the related YouTube videos I watched cannot claim brevity as a rationale. As a woman who perhaps by nature and environment has lived worked and studied in male dominant industries of tech and graduate work I am perhaps more cognizant of it. The topic of connection itself carries with it a burden to Immerse the reader and student into the awareness and embodied experience of connection in ways it can be felt in order to grasp its importance.
I studied doctoral level phenomenology at a social justice institution and discovered years later upon writing my second book that Edith Stein also known as St Theresa was a student of Edmund Husserl in Vienna who wrote her phenomenological thesis called A Problem with Empathy before being executed in the gas chambers of Nazi Germany. I point this out to illustrate how the systemic absence of the feminine voice predominates.

In the case of our studies here after being met with frustration of listening to what I considered disconnected conversations about connection in the related YouTube videos I began searching elsewhere to find more meaningful examples. I began watching the recently deceased American metaphysical scientist Wilcocks series Disclosure. The episodes with guest Rupert Sheldrake were enlightening because it became very obvious that his work in morphic resonance echoes the Kabbalistic perspective that consciousness is the next scientific frontier. The sensitivity Wilcock And guests brought to the subject of unity and collective Consciousness brought me back to this course.

i do not mean to offend in any way but I am hopeful that as I move forward attending the retreat and continuing to study that the experience feels less forced and less take our word for it because we hold the keys to Kabbalah than it sometimes does at least for me today.

I learned more about how important it is to work in a group. I hope to see many others in my future groups

What inspires me is to see so many striving to attain the light and knowing you are never alone.  I am learning to create and live a more harmonious life. Thank you!

I wish us all the best! But I have a question: How do you feel about cigarette smoking? I gather you don’t have much against beers…

I had much to say about what I have learned about myself in the process. However, I pressed the wrong key and lost it all. Therefore, I will summarize that I have been and continue to be a happy person who lends out a hand to anyone in need. Having stated that, I believe that I was meant to learn Kabbalah with true Kabbalist instructors. It appears that in a small way, the path I have been in has lead me here. In terms of “Love others as one loves thyself,” I also believe I have done my tiny share and I am here learning how to expand that small point in the heart. In terms of Egoism, I have learned what it is and how to transform that to Altruism. Thank you.

Hey Elisheva I can relate to hitting wrong key and losing a post kudos for your perseverance!
