Forgive me for posting to many times, but my lesson preparation bullet will not show that I have completed this step.
I don’t believe that I am ready to spread the word of Kabbalah just yet. I am still trying to fully understand the concepts and I am trying to get a feel for the Science of Kabbalah. However, I am very much interested in continuing my studies in Kabbalah.
Our work with the light that reforms, for me, it is the constant reading of the books that teach. I also read the answers given by the other students and their response lets me know that I am in tune with them. I feel what they are relating, or I try to relate to their experiences. Thank you.
Strengthening the reforming light comes from connecting with out students. I feel and think I am struggling along with my fellow students. We have not, yet, reached our goals of correction or we would be like our teachers. However, I believe that the workshop connection that is given to us is a way to reform the light. I attended my first workshop recently and instantly felt love for all my fellow students, and the remarkable response was that I FELT an energy (Love) from them via the Zoom. Now that to me is strength in the influence of the reforming light.
1. To shift from an egoistic perception of reality to a perception based on bestowal one must want to please the Creator more than the desire to please oneself. However, one may keep the desire to receive, but the desire to receive must be for the pleasure of the Creator (therefore one is now in bestowal). When one wants to receive for the “sake of the Creator”, the receiving of pleasure for the sake of the Creator has changed egoism to altruism.
2. To connect to others is to work with a Kabbalist group to develop an altruistic point-of-view for one’s friends desires (in the group) without contemplating on one’s own desires. This is a desire of bestowal which is similar to the Creator.
I want to be able to recognize my feelings so that I know when the LIGHT has influenced me. I believe that I have felt the LIGHT before since I have a wonderful life: a great marriage, sons, grandchildren, and none have any major illnesses. God (Creator) has already blessed me. However, now my desire to connect to the Creator has blossomed to an ambitious endeavor. My desire in this course is to get closer to the Creator to feel HIS presence. I think that I may still be in the receiving attribute, but I realize and understand that a group success is beneficial for all the world to receive. My desire is to learn to bestow always for the “Sake of the Creator”.
