I am inspired by being amongst such people as you all. I’ve learned I know very little about something I thought I knew alot about, and feel so lucky to be able to connect to these insights. I pray for all of you that you reach and stay in those higher states, the highest state.

The unraveling of the Light that is concealed around me, and also truly learning about the Creator. It’s quite prevalent that the narrative surrounding the Creator is mostly ego-based, according to the comprehension of various establishments that have flipped the story for personal gain. It is comparable to a disease that spreads like wildfire and taints, distorts, and manipulates the collective mind, thus controlling perceptions that are not truly our own. In addition, it separates each and every one of us in a way of isolation and dissonance. The more I learned about the Creator, the more I realized I do not know the actual story. This has baffled me yet inspired me so much to continue my journey of knowing thyself. My innate essence is to consistently grow and develop. Even from a child, I have always felt a benevolent force that has led me on my path to discovering the true nature of my soul. I never seemed lost; I was led to Kabbalah. I have learned that I have always had faith (certainty in the Light). However, it was blind faith, like throwing a dart and hoping it will hit the target and never accomplish the goal. Reigniting my determination to learn and having a consistent study in the ways of Kabbalah has really started to put my ego in check again. I have realized that it is so essential to be like velcro and attach ourselves to the Creator and His attributes. I wish that my fellow students make haste and continue to climb up those 125 steps of the ladder of ascent and never look back. How fortunate are we to be able to actively make a difference in the collective that will aid us in reaching the equivalence to form with the Creator. I cannot wait for this day to come for you and all of humanity.

This course has opened the door to a new perception of myself and reality! First, even though I’ve not taken a university level course in decades, I’ve rediscovered that my love for study and am eager for I continue on! Secondly, I feel my perception of myself and the world has shifted, to a new understanding and experience of reality as a construction of the mind. The readings have clarified the difference between a life devoted to egoism vs. a life in service to altruism. I now approach each day with the underlying intention to receive from the Creator for the purpose of sharing with others. I wish for my classmates that together we discover how to achieve equivalence of form with the Creator and  thus make a difference in the world and in the lives of the people close to us.

There is a new foundation how I approach and sit with life experiences. The opportunity to grow inward as we self reflect in a way that is closer to the Creator is transformative. Much less about me as focusing on the potential “we can do”

In this introduction to Kabbalah I learned the inherent reasons for my history of unbalanced desires, addictions, and compulsions. As well as the inevitable disillusionment I felt once I had obtained whatever it was that I was seeking. I learned that I was not a “broken” obsessive/compulsive/addictive human being. I was created this way. And I was created this way for a reason.

I learned the reasons why I never felt comfortable with the interpretations I was given for the stories in the Torah. I learned that I was not wrong in my beliefs. Just that there are several “levels” to understanding the Torah. And that I just had not yet found a teacher who was capable of revealing those more advanced levels.

And I learned that many of my higher beliefs about the nature of the Universe and our creator that seemed to contradict what most religions taught were shared and supported by a group of fellow seekers.

I feel vindicated, relieved, restored, inspired, humbled, and grateful.

I have been a spiritual seeker my entire life. Since I started to study Kabbalah for the first time I feel truly connected to my Jewish roots. And I feel inspired in a way that I have not felt since I was a freshman in college. I’ve been “drinking in” the wisdom of Kabbalah as fast as I can swallow.

This is the best feeling you can have. A feeling that my life is moving in the right direction and that I am part of a group who sincerely understands me.

And I feel incredibly grateful and humble. Grateful that I have been given this gift and humble in that my creator believes that I am worthy of receiving this gift and capable of understanding what I have been given.

I wish my fellow students even felt a small part of what I’ve been feeling.

As I going through the process of learning and discovering my inner traits I can see that I still have a long way to correct my kli and achieve the Equivalence of form. My which for all my peers is for each one of theme to reach the knowledge and achieve the true in all the processes.
