This part of the Kabbalist journey is all theoretical…and it all makes perfect sense. It is analogous to taking a course in cooking and learning about all sorts of different recipes without actually spending any time in a kitchen.

I look forward to actually getting into the kitchen so to speak in the first workshop and “tasting” what we create.

My neophyte desire is to advance in my study and implementation of Kabbalah. But my realistic expectation is that if I actually “knew” or “understood” what this means that I would have already done it. And that it would be something that could have been accomplished without a workshop, group, or other extrinsic means.

In other words: I know that I don’t know :^)

Since my first weeks studying at KabU I’ve changed my morning prayer.

Now all I ask for is “perspective and correction.”

The perspective of our Creator towards creation and correction so that I am better able to fulfill our Creator’s intentions.

Entering into this new phase in my study of Kabbalah I am starting with a new “realization” (conceptual) and what I hope to do is to begin a new phase of “integration” (attainment).

I find the Kabbalist focus on the power of the group is rather refreshing. In other spiritual practices I have been told and have experienced how “group prayer” or “group meditation” is more powerful. But in Kabbalah they are framing the group not as a “boost” but as a “requirement” of spiritual advancement.

The concept of “we” vs “me.”

I can’t wait to be part of a group of like-minded people who share the goal of uplifting humanity.

Our world would be a manifestation of “The Golden Rule” – everyone would naturally “do unto others as they would want others to do unto them” without a second thought or consideration.
