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

[Rune T. A.]

Both versions gave me a sense that something important, almost other-worldly  was going on/being conveyed.

The Hebrew version gave me sense of recolection of some sort and seemed more powerful. However, I was interupted by inner images of men in a cave that awoke a feeling of dedication to Creation/The Lord/The Creator/Life/my Purpose, it’s hard to describe…

The English version was harder in terms keeping focus as it was was harder to shut out my intelligence…

The Hebrew. I felt a vastness and felt like I was totally supported by The Universe.  With the English my mind wouldn’t relax and let go of the words.

[Chava]

A purposeful stillness.

My intention while listening was to “let the words of The Zohar correct my intentions”.

Both versions, but especially the Hebrew version, created great peace in my heart and much joy in my body. It felt like everything inside me released, like there was no need anymore to “strive, and make things different”. I got a bit dizzy, but also my thoughts grew silent (maybe to 1 % of their normal activity).

I think I will buy an audiobook of The Zohar in Hebrew and listen to that daily. It feels like having this daily activity will allow me to give everything else its necessary time to develop.

I never want to push things prematurely, but I also do not want to go against the light in my heart.

I am reading the volumes of Zohar Pritzker edition by Daniel Matt and I notice that my mind loses focus that the words are describing an internal process happening now and not just literature of historical events from the past. But, I can say when I spend several hours a day in the study my sleep is filled with dreams pertaining to the wisdom in the study that I do not perceive while being awake (maybe this sleep and dreams is actually the reality of being awake?). So I noticed the same process going on while listening to this reading, first my mind getting caught in a literal meaning of something outside myself then a switch to recognition this is about what is going on inside my soul and collective soul. My ego would like to and tries to beat me up about how this is beyond my understanding but I have made a vow to myself to keep pushing on no matter what the feelings arise as truly my feelings are all over the place!
