Since total altruism isn’t my natural state, attaining that state entails making daily conscious choices as much of the time as it is possible to start moving in that direction, and asking for the Creator for help, for his guidence, for his guiding light.
Hi Julian! I am very much looking forward to delving deeper into the method and starting to apply it to real life situations. In fact a real difficult life situation, with people I am most intimately entangled with, has been waiting for me to learn and apply the Kabbalah lessons, I am sure of it. It will be interesting to see…
For me the previous course laid out the groundwork for understanding the main point of what is Kabbalah is and why it is so important to now delve deeper and gradually learn the method. I loved all the lessons videos, but also all the supporting videos in the “related” sections of each chapter, the carefully selected reading materials, and of course the Q&A on Sundays. All that was very thoroughly prepared and presented in such a way that allows for a very well supported independent study, and that I can always go back and revisit the previous lessons, is key. I am very much looking forward to this next semester and test my new view of the world in real life. Interestingly, lately in my mind I’ve been asking the Creator, why am I having to deal with such difficult people as my most intimate connection. And now I am beginning to understand, it makes perfect sense – connection above differences.
This course is inspiring and reminding me to work on being the light I want to see in others. Seemingly so simple and yet…. I have been aware of that concept for quite some time, especially these days when I see so many take to the social activism, sometimes chanting slogans, or preaching how certain other people or governments “should” behave, and all along my inner voice is whispering to me, “all we can do is Be the light we want to see in others.” This course illuminates the concept of correcting myself towards loving others as myself, in a very profound way. Plus seeing just how many people from around the world have joined this course and is getting this same message makes me think that, as more and more join in this effort, we truly are moving towards correcting the world, simply by feeling that each one of us is a spark of the whole, and as each one of us is correcting ourselves, we are correcting all of humanity by default!
My role is to set my intention on moving towards the ultimate goal, i.e. to notice my egotistical desires and work towards correcting them – replacing them with those that are more of service to others in a genuine way, to see goodness in others and by so doing helping them transform as well.
To view reality from the perspective of the creator is to see how interconnected everything is in nature, how it is all meant to work together in harmony, bestowing goodness in a constant, consistent manner without fail for the purpose of filling his creation with delight. Not us humans, we change our attitudes and views towards other people, concepts, towards nature itself, which means towards the creator himself, sometimes simply depending on our mood that day, or the influence of others, or based on the events taking place in our individual lives, simply because of our own changing egotistical nature, so our view of reality is completely subjective, narrowed down to how it relates to us and our unmet desires and needs. To me a good example of Creator’s reality is watching the faithful ceremony of the moon and the sun rising and setting, every single morning and night, so stunningly beautiful, peaceful and constant regardless of our behavior or attitude for millions of years…. Day after day…. Reminding us of the all bestowing nature of the Creator that we must try and adhere to.
