It was nice to get an actual insight, in plain language, into the practical side of Kabbalah. There is much talk about the practical nature of Kabbalah but rarely do the texts delve clearly into what this means in practice with other group members. Most of the beginner material is directed at internal motions towards the Upper Force, and the more advanced material while it may be addressing this practice, seems to always be very cryptic and difficult to understand.
I’m hoping this course provides an opportunity to finally actualize the practical elements of the wisdom.
I valued all the insights and revelations of the last course, but learning about Prayer was my favorite part. I’ve always had an aversion / attraction conflict around prayer. I’m attracted to the practice of communing with the upper force, but I’m averse to the way I have typically seen prayer practiced and discussed. I would say that the last course gave me a new perspective on and understanding of the act and mechanism of prayer which relaxed my aversion while also confirming and clarifying my intuition about what prayer really is.
For the next course, I hope to really dive in to practical techniques that will allow me to apply the wisdom of Kabbalah in every part of my life and in all situations.
What was my best experience from the previous course? What do I expect from this course?
My best experience from the previous course has to be how we are edging closer to the practical methodology of Kabbalah in that we learned how the group works and how we should approach the task of using our will to receive with the proper intention.
Shalom,
My best experience was gaining a deeper understanding together with accepting  the necessity of connecting with others for collective Spiritual growth …  a personal block I didn’t know I didn’t know, which I am grateful for.  I try not to have expectations but am fully present and willing to go with the flow.
I have always tended towards spirituality that doesn’t rely on others (only a teacher). I can see more clearly how we need others, especially those who are different from us, to challenge the ideal world that we create for ourselves. How can we see if we are growing when people/ situations around us remain constantly the same? It seems we need different mirrors through which to reflect ourselves.
