- February 11, 2023 at 8:01 pm EST in reply to: Preparation Question: Congratulations on progressing through the intermediary stages of your Kabbalah learning by staring this new course! Since the wisdom of Kabbalah deals with developing our precious eternal part—the soul—it is important to take a moment to note your expectations from this stage of your journey, and later check back and see what aligned with or differed from your expectations, and how you might’ve changed in the process: What do you hope to get out of this course you’re now starting? #312336BenParticipant
I want to understand why a creator who wants us to only have abundant life allows such terrible disasters as the earthquake in Turkey or the Ukrane war. I am not trying to be difficult, I really, really really want to know how to understand how the Creator allows so much unhappiness and pain in the world.

BenParticipantI have seen how my huge ego and self-importance has been such a stumbling block to my spiritual development. Â I see that the Creator is constantly bestowing light on me but I reject much of it in favor of my own stubborn opinion. Â I also see that when I give advice and it is rejected or ignored I feel bad inside and it causes me to wonder that if I want a relationship with the Creator, how must He feel when I ignore His bestowal freely given.

January 8, 2023 at 6:58 pm EST in reply to: Preparation Question: The importance of clearly defining the goal in the study of Kabbalah is the beginning of the path. Once the goal is defined, you will continue to refine it to keep yourself perfectly aimed at the target. How would you currently define the goal for which you are studying? #308497BenParticipantTo cleave to the creator
