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

I tried to be more in my heart and less in my head while listening, that felt good; just be in a relaxing mode. The words are familiar and I could see the Sefirots in front of me.

I’ve just read that area a few weeks ago. It was nice to hear Tony speak it. I’ve drawn out the Tree of Life on several papers and it was helpful to look over the Sefirot while Tony was speaking

It was easier to stay focused on wanting to be changed with the English version for me. The Hebrew was lovely, but I found myself getting distracted. I have no idea why. Thank you for this exercise.

idk what i can say about the readings, but personally i like to pause and meditate on whatever sparks a response and so, reading the Zohar on my own does it better for me; also i can stay in the spark and find the interpreted verse or other reference and continue with that before coming back to where i left off…

i thought to add this quote i read from Dr. Laitman, in which initially the idea of “Sunbathing” struck me as particularly enticing 🙂

“The matter is not in learning a few pages of text and acquiring knowledge. But we need to read these texts because during the time of studies we direct ourselves to greater influence of the Light. For example, the reading of Kabbalistic texts is one of the conditions of the correct intention towards the Light. But we don’t read them just for understanding, but with the thought to pull towards us the influence of the Light.”

Listening to the English version I found myself struggling to understand and stay focused.  While listening to the Hebrew version I found myself calm and peaceful.

I hear a a universal unifying principle for all humanity.  Is there a unifying principle in Judaism?
