I am remaining open. I have a few inklings and sparks lasting sometimes a fraction of a second. It is as if something profound is trying to communicate, but that’s so complex that I struggle to think about it structurally. When I try, I lose the grip. What irritates me is what needs correction. OMG! My workload is just piling up. I think that getting to know the concepts in Kabbalah is burning the bridges behind me. I don’t think there’s a turning back. I am really hopeful and expect that, moving forward, I’ll be able to have a more solid grasp of Kabbalah in action than of theory. There have been quite a few moments where I felt so hopeful and excited that I almost cried.
The last course really highlighted the importance of the group environment and my best experience was learning the inner work of mirroring and asking the question – what in me needs correction when I’m triggered by someone else.
This next course I expect to learn and understand why the group of 10 is important.
My best experience from the previous course was stressing the importance of a group of 10. I have been a meditation and Yoga practitioner for years and I look at these Kabbalah courses from that lens. I believe I understand what has been taught so far. Yet, I continue to study with curiosity, and wonder if there is something different here to experience, witness and know. From this course, I expect an embodied understanding of why the group of 10 is important.
I don’t know how to answer this question. I have just remained opened throughout. I have the point in the heart and ask all of the questions about life that are necessary to want to learn Kabbalah, but I am also someone who mostly keeps to herself, has different interests than the others around her, and have asked spiritual questions despite not having money or fame. I was a little disappointed when it was said that one should only study Kabbalah after exploring their desires. I have plenty but not access to all of my desires. I’ve lived a difficult life and I think this actually made me ask the spiritual questions long before most people. I am hoping that for now, my intention is enough.
I expect that the further along I get in this course the more revelations will occur.
There were so many gems in the last course/lesson. However this particular gem truly drove home the point about having an Outward facing attitude towards one spiritual practice and the world at large:
“In Kabbalah, an outward-facing attitude is not merely about being social; it is a profound spiritual practice of transforming the ego (desire to receive for oneself) into a vessel for sharing and connection (desire to bestow). It is the conscious transition from focusing solely on inner experience to actively engaging with the world, using the “outward” reality as a mirror to reveal, refine, and elevate one’s inner consciousness. “
What do I expect from this course:
I expect an even deeper understanding of how to apply the teachings/wisdom of this science called Kabbalah. Practicing it in my every day life towards those that I encounter. Also using terms that others will understand regarding Spirituality.
I truly want to connect with my fellow students so that I can continue to move closer to that Upper force and equivalent of from with our Grand Creator. The things that we see in others are actually a mirror for us to look internally.
“In Kabbalah, others acting as a “mirror” means that the behaviors, faults, or virtues you perceive in them are actually reflections of your own internal state, personality, or areas needing spiritual correction.”
