The group meeting was inspiring. I have learned the importance of striving for that which I cannot achieve alone on the path. That I must exhaust all of my effort so that I can truly know (experientially) that I am helpless if left to my own devices. That state initiates the real prayer that calls the reforming light.
<p style=”text-align: center;”>The levels of the ladders of Kabbalah. It reminded me of sin. When we sin we quench the Holy Spirit;Hod. We become further away from God but when don’t and we repent and give and grow with God we seeming spear to be on the level of Ein Sof. I’ve learned to be more honest with God and not to be  afraid. Though I’m there yet in my growth and walk with God. I would like to also fellowship with other Kabbalist in my community whether cyber or in my area.</p>
What most inspired me in the course? – We’re not stuck with the way things are. We can work with others to change things.
What have I learned about myself in the process? – I am connected to everything and everything to me.
What do I wish for my fellow students in their spiritual development? Not only the reaching of the upper levels but also the pure joy you will receive in achieving them. Along with the revelation to be experienced once the first level is reached!
The idea that through this work we are doing that which benefits everyone to the greatest extent possible has to be the most inspirational part of the course. It is also the most fleeting, like the faint reflection of a passing car on a store window. That ideal doesn’t stay in my thoughts as it probably should likely because I love myself so much! Time and again my selfishness, my contempt for others, and my fear of so much drives what I believed were completely noble pursuits or kind actions. My “goodness” isn’t very good.
I also cannot try to imagine the reality of true attainment. I want to sometimes, but it could be the mind is still overwhelmed by this experience already that it dare not try. I just know that I want it, and that drive keeps me going through the confusingly painful and wonderful experience of this spiritual journey of wanting it for myself to wanting it for you – even if my efforts are currently unsuccessful. Trust that one day those efforts will bear fruit though not by us. I hope that your journey is as painless as possible, that you learn wisely, and you allow those awe inspiring moments of bliss and shame to carry you all the way home!
