I started reading the Zohar 18 months ago.  I cannot say It’s reading has evoked a feeling in me; but, it has changed my DNA.  I am not the same person.  This may sound fantastic.  I am not sure.  My ego has changed.  To a degree, I miss it.  I work in a very, very ego centered industry.  I feel a little naked and vulnerable.  My decisions are different.  I do not know where I fit in this world anymore.

To preface this, I currently only can speak English and not Hebrew.
Listening in English allowed me to keep the intention of bestowal, but I found that my mind was pulled to making connections which would want to try to follow that thought of the self figuring out an insight instead of remaining suffused in the aroma of the Zohar.
Listening in Hebrew allowed me to keep the intention of bestowal, and I found I was able to maintain a wordless reverie better while listening. Some words and phrases would stand out, but they appeared more as flashes than pulls.
To me, I felt that listening in Hebrew helped intensify the duration and clarity of maintaining the intention.
Thank you for this. <3

In Hebrew, I felt that it was easier to not try to understand it intellectually. I speak Hebrew, but not as well as English.

The English version compels me to write, as a student, or a scribe.
The Hebrew version draws me like a moth to a flame. It speaks to me from an ancient memory. The words evoke a feeling I have had only once before in this lifetime, very long ago, when I stepped out of the plane on the runway in Tel Aviv. Suddenly I knew I was Home.
I do not speak Hebrew in this incarnation but I hold pure certainty that it won’t be long and I will know these words again.

Several years ago, I got a copy of the Zohar and started reading it. It was definitely with the wrong intention. I was trying to read it intellectually and figure it out. That didn’t happen! I ended up giving it away. Now with a change in heart posture and instruction from Kabu I am starting to feel it. How do you really describe it? It’s cleansing like rain, calm like the eye of a storm, tender like a mother’s touch, firm like a father’s guidance. Completely unbreakable and done in total love. And as wonderful as all of this is already, I feel an enormous depth still waiting to be discovered. This is just the tip of the iceberg!

I connected with the Hebrew version. English didn’t have the same effect. English is not my first language either.  I don’t speak Hebrew but the name of the Sefirots and upper worlds and the connection between the Sefirots came through in Hebrew a few times.
