Share your impressions and experience from listening to the book of Zohar. What feelings did it evoke in you?

[Chrissy]

Listening to the English version, I listened with my ears, and I was distracted by the meanings of the words.  However, when I listened to the Hebrew version, I found a connection that resonated within my heart and a calmness because I am not conversant with Hebrew.

The first time I tried to connect, I felt my ego and the desire to receive, and I noticed how it tried to take over my perception. But I focused on connecting with the Light and on receiving the Light from the Creator. With that thought, I dove into the words and felt how I am part of the whole. I feel peace!

The English version wasn’t so powerful for me because I was trying to understand the meaning of the text intellectually. But when I listened to it in Hebrew, it was amazing — because that’s when the ego and the thoughts of competition appeared in my mind. When I said that I felt my ego and my desire to receive, I meant that I had thoughts in my mind about wanting to receive more information in order to be better than some of my friends. And once I became aware of them, I tried to connect to the Light of the Creator. Then, those ego-driven and competitive thoughts disappeared from my mind, and I finally dove into the whole.

Now it is clearer to me. It’s actually amazing!

The Hebrew reading appeals to me more than the English. In the English reading there are some distractions trying to understand the words and what is it trying to convey unlike the Hebrew reading where you just let the heart connect to it. There is some sort of a strong sensation running from my head extending to my feet when hearing from the Hebrew translation unlike the English where there is a sensation too but not that strong.

I read the Book of Radiance but still feel short sighted…not furfilled just a couple deaths afterwards.. and deep sadness

Listening to the English version I was distracted by my mind which tried to understand the meaning. During the Hebrew version I could focus on feelings and it was a pleasurable experience. Still, I wonder whether non-Hebrew speakers would be deprived of any chance of understanding if they only listened to the Hebrew text.

I liked both versions,  stayed focused on the intention most of the time, although i had a flashes of different visualisations, for instance i saw an infant and kind of evoked a gentle  curiosity
