In Kabbalah I find a supportive method for spiritual development. So far I have seeked spiritual support in many ways but never has it been as holistic, direct and complete for me. Not having had this support in the past, life taught me through many turbulences, leaving me to wish I had found it sooner. On the other hand, the teachings are very relevant to me as I can apply then to lessons learned and continue growing steady ahead with the Kabbalistic perspective which is taught here in a very common sense and relevant manner. Thanks you for putting together these wonderful lessons. I can only hope that my fellow brothers and sisters benefit just as much or even more.
This lesson really helps in asking oneself what is the true goal behind all thoughts and actions and whether I am acting out of pure altruism or not, and to strive at being more mindful of the motivation of my thoughts and heart. It also provides me with a “method” by trying to connect with the benevolence behind all that exists, and seeing the hand of God in all occurrences.
For myself as well, there are many new concepts and I devour them all. As I learn each concepts, I find it easy to relate them to various personal life events. I agree that the Supreme delight felt from spiritual ascent eclipses all others.
Similar to another student’s question, I would also like to know if gratitude would be a means of acknowledging and therefore pleasing and giving back to the creator.
In the 2nd video, a quote from Rav Leitman mentioned that the body is a means for spiritual advancement otherwise it is of no interest. Does this mean that disincarnated persons continue to evolve? Because I pray that my beloved mom evolves as well towards an ever greater spiritual light.
I learned a huge amount from the first course. Its structure is superb, I feel supported, the resources and the help sustains my enthusiasm, therefore I continue to feel enthusiastic and thrilled to learn from studying the Kabbalah. I expect to continue climbing the spiritual ladder full speed ahead.
I’m so happy to have found the Kabbalah teachings at this period in my life. I can relate the concepts to decisions and actions I have made on my own, that required me to vastly diminish the ego, and the concepts serve to explain and solidify my personal experience. It also explains why I may be ready to take some selfless actions which my spouse doesn’t agree with. The concepts learned helped me accept that we all grow at our own pace.
My challenge will be to put in practice the same level of “love” equally to all.
A quote read at end of video 2 gives me hope, that should one not be able to reach their spiritual goal during their lifetime, the body isn’t necessary to continue the spiritual ascent. Here I’m not only thinking of myself but also of my departed precious loved ones.
