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.”
i’m very surprised about my growing kind, compassionate awareness of others, as a result of the last course. I’m noticing how much more simple it is to be with the people in my daily life, as my active participation seems to diminish in importance and how others seem to feel better with my more ‘simple’ mode of interaction, which is like gently swishing the surface of a stream along with the current — and i remember more often people’s smiling back at me. i think before the recent KabU classes i was wary of others wanting something from me, but now it seems that people seem more content in their own lives, and they don’t really want anything in particular – and they appreciate being acknowledged with a few simple words and a light sprinkling of happiness. idk, but i’m increasingly curious about learning more
