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

[Erica]

Listening to the Hebrew version felt like listening to an elder reading an educational story to me by the fireplace. It’s like being a child, knowing you don’t understand the language but eventually will. The English version, was more mathematical requiring my mind to work to retain the information and passive listening required me to ignore almost tune out what was being said. I feel that I participated more in active listening than with the English version. There wasn’t a bridge that connected us like the Hebrew.

For me it was also easier to listen to the Hebrew version, because I did not try to understand.

I found the Hebrew version easier to keep a focus of intention because the English version was confusing and directed my intention to trying to understand what was being said.

It was easier to maintain the intention while listening to the Hebrew version. When listening to the English version, I kept finding myself trying to understand what was being said & had to re-focus on the intention.

English version: I focused on grasping the meaning of the words and trying to connect it with the intention. What came out of it was that I felt like in order to give better, I must clearly distinguish the personal and specific needs/desires/nature of others from those that are mine while at the same time, upholding the objective laws of the creator.

Hebrew version: Didn’t understand what was being said however I felt a more light inner sensation.

im not sure. I tried to listen to understand, but i guess some potentially higher transactions had taken place.
