I can’t wait to join a group so that each spark can become a burning flame for the sake of each, the group and the Whole soul of Adam.

It’s inspiring to think that one can learn the “skill” of love and connection through practice.  I hope to get a clearer understanding of the masach and tzim tzum as I experience more.  I hope we all learn to connect genuinely, not superficially because that’s what is “supposed to happen”

I find the short pieces with direct answers from the Rav to be iconoclastic in a good sense. I’ve learned about myself in this: I wasn’t ready for this approach, or the unavoidable logical conclusions of this study in my past.

Even now I have to pace myself. It is good that I want to pace myself, and not get frustrated: I re-watch videos, I reread sections and I hear and see things I didn’t before. Pretty consistently! In ordinary corporeal studies and topics this would concern me…the anxiety in college of sitting in a lecture with a technical book in front of me opened to the right page, the instructor droning on and filling the blackboard with equations and notations, and I realize if he were to stop and ask me a question I could not begin to respond! I look around the room and everybody else seems to be getting it–while I cannot make sense of the board, the book, or the words coming from the instructor. Fight or flight anxiety kicking up.

When that happens here I pause the video. I get up for a walk. I might not be back on topic for a day or two. I am not going to stress out over this material.

My wish for my fellow students is that they have the luxury of taking their time with their studies, find the pace that is best for them–I’m really glad to be here, hope they are too.

i am truly inspired by learning that i can correct what i can not correct – with the help of the group and the Creator

[zohreh]

1. Inspiration for me, stories and pictures and explanations of the master

2. I realized from what stage in the group I should reach what stage, in fact, I was a little confused in the previous weeks, but by passing this week’s lessons, what I learned became organized.

3- We can achieve perfection together and by taking care of each other

[Yajaira]

Love the lessons. I am very excited to start working a group. I wish my fellow students to succeed in the spiritual path.
